P. K. DICKSON
CHAIRMAN
♦ Clayton County Commissioners
Club Council, in addition to fur
nishing transportation and re
freshments for council meetings.
He served as a district officer
for the Northwest District and
as a counselor at the Rock Eagle
4-H Club camp. He was master
of ceremonies for the annual
county 4-H Talent Show in 1959.
He helped to plan and carry
out the first special 4-H edition
of the county paper. Assistance
was given to younger members
with record books and demon
strations. He personally wrote
devotional materials for use in
the county 4-H clubs during the
1960-61 school year. He prepared
enough copies of these for dis
tribution to all 4-H clubs in the
county. This effort alone took
much time, and certainly con
tributed much to the County
4-H program. During the month
of December 1960 when Mr.
Tucker, the county agent, was
recuperating from an operation
Donald took his Christmas holi-
"Clayton County 4-H Council leads On"
BY ROSEMARY DUNN
The Clayton County 4-H Council began the year with
a work shop for the 4-H local club officers. This has helped
the officers very much during the year. At the January
meeting a special program was given by the Jonesboro
Senior 4-H Club as more or less
an introduction to what 4-H ac
tivities are really like. Then in
February the Clayton County
4-H Council was delighted with
a program by the East Clayton
Eighth Grade Club entitled
days to hold 4-H Club meetings,
demonstrating the making of
Christmas decorations and en
couraging club members to keep
better records.
Just last month, he prepared
a skit on health for members of
the East Clayton Bth grade club
to give at 4-H council meeting.
He has helped to plan and sell
ads for this 4-H Club edition. He
has written 47 news articles on
4-H Club work. Donald is pres
ently working with the exten
sion agents on plans for a 4-H
Club record book workshop to be
held during his spring holidays.
Announcement has recently
been made of his selection as a
Rock Eagle Counselor for an
other year.
Certainly Donald Johnson has
lived up to one of the goals of
Master membership — that of
giving in unselfish service to see
that others reap the benefits of
4-H Club work.

Kenny Upchurch presented a
i very interesting demonstration.
On March 4, the Clayton Coun
ty 4-H Council met at Lee Street
School. A very interesting pro
gram was given by Shirley Wat
son and Ethel Lynn Huie from
; the Morrow sixth and seventh
grade club.
The council has just finished

which Paula Land and Carol
Hutcherson, of Riverdale, along
with other 4-H Club members
helped very much.
ine Clayton County 4-H
Council has had a good start
but still more things are being
planned. The 4-H members who
are planning to attend the Dis
trict Meeting will compete with
other members with the same
talents.
Then for the first part of May
a “Talent Show” has been
planned and delightful talent
numbers will be presented.
