Our Trip To
Miiledgeville
(By Beatrice Williams)
Last Tuesday about 7 A.
we were bound for Milldgeville
to attend the State 4-H Confer-
ence. I, as a return delegate was
asked by our agent to make my
report first to the Dade paper,
therefore I will try my best.
arrived Tuesday afternoon
about o;io and registered into
our rooms at Georgia State Col¬
lege for Women. Alter the wnoie
days ride over there you can
imagine what we felt and looked
like when we went in the dor¬
mitory. Miss Boswell our home
demonstration agent, Mrs. Bill
Konrad our advisor, Ruth Wallen
and Mary Katherine Fricks our
new delegate this year, and I,
the return delegate, were very
interseted to see our, new rooms,
but, of all the luck! we were
stuck upon the third floor. I
think they must have liked Miss
Boswell’s looks better than ours
because she got her room on the
first floor! As we started up
stairs I thought I would never
make it, but I soon found
standing in front of the
getting ready for supper. I could
hardly wait to get down to the
dinning room, because I
I would meet lots of my old
friends from last year whom
was just dying to see.
I did see a great many but
as many as I expected to. As
time went by I made many
friends and renewed the friend¬
ship of many older friends.
Assembly was the last
that we attended that night,
the most interesting thing
all was the friendly welcome
all received from Dr. Guy
who was president of the G. S-
W. After the challenge for
week by W. A. Sutton, our
4-H club leader, we were
missed from the assembly
went to the tennis courts for
.few folk dances and other

was glad to see it over

we were headed for another

we were assigned to attend
of the twenty discussion
which had approximately
five members in each
Here we discussed our
and I’m sure we will never
get the different' points we
taught about our familys
why they are so important to
We had assemblys on
the day and about 7:30
night we had Vesper service.
The Rev. Cecil Tompson had
wondeiful sermon and
many things to us about
Country Churches. About forty
minutes later we found
sitting in another
watching General Motors Pre¬
sentation. This, I shall
forget and I do wish I had
to explain to you just what
saw! I’m sure it' would
you and everybody would
it. That night meant heaven
me because I was one of the
girls nominated for a
of State Girls Vice President,
i felt this a great honor.
Thursday came and I
mostly campaigning that
but it soon came time for
to go to my discussion
Our theme for that day was:
“You and Your Friends." I think
we girls enjoyed discussing
boy friends most, but
those questions were awfully em-
Drassing girls!
Soon after those
questions on our boy
our girl friends, our older
and our younger friends, we all
went to lunch.
That afternoon we had an
of free time so we decided

but I don’t know about the hear¬
ing part because one lady called
us something I wouldn’t dare
tell you about! We also heard
many different sounds from
patients in all the buildings.
Later that afternoon I attend¬

This I enjoyed very much! When

RATTLESNAKE KILLED NEAR
JOE DOYLES
The rattlesnakes must be com¬
ing out for water as another one
has been reported killed on the
side of the road near Joe Doyles
near Sly go which was 4y 2 feet
iong and had 10 rattlers and a
button.
it came time to go to my recre¬
ation group I was always ready
to go, because those folk dances
I did love. I enjoyed them so
much last year. That night we
had Vesper service on the G. M.
C. football field, and practiced
the candlelighting for the next
night.
Everybody the next day was
sorry to see the day pass- This
was the last day to be with all
your friends and the last day
in Milledgevilee. The day was
a very busy one for all of us,
because we had all our meetings
to attend and many different
speakers to listen to during the
assehiblys. Some of these meet¬
ings I must say bored me very
much, but most of them were
very interesting
Then came our big night! We
had all our folk dances and
games out on the G- M. C. foot¬
ball field together and then we
had the beautiful candle light¬
ing service. It was really beau¬
tiful. Every 4-H boy and girl
was dressed in his or her uni¬
form. There were approximate¬
ly 1,000 boys and girls, so you
can imagine how pretty the foot¬
ball field looked with all those
dances going on- We soon said
good bye to our partners and
other friends and went home
for a good night’s sleep. That
night about 12:30 I found my¬
self packing my clothes and
getting ready to head for Dade
County.
Saturday morning about 8:30
we were all homeward bound!
Can you imagine them letting us
come back home?!
Now I’d like to say “I had a
wonderful time and my advice
to other 4-H members who would
like to go to Miiledgeville is to
work hard and your time will
come!”
Your Council President,
of 4-H club

There was never a dull mo-
ment during the whole meeting
because the program was filled
with activities each day from

who attended was assigned to a
discussion group which met
sometime during the three day
stay at G. S. C. W.
many Interesting speakers from
all phases of farm work led dis-
cussions with various groups
scheduled days.
Miss Beatrice Williams went
as a return delegate substituting
for Miss Johnnie Pike who was
unable to attend. She and
Mary Katherine Fricks stepped
into political spotlight by being
nominated for state club offices.
Beatrice received a nomination
for state 4-H club vice president
and Mary Katherine was nomin¬
ated for state club treasurer.
That’s not bad for the first time
there.

Academy several blocks away.
Here in Miiledgeville the groups
was fortunate enough to visit the
state mansion where they saw
many interesting pieces of old
furniture and other relics. In
addition they visited the state
asylum.
The 4-H’ers decided to estab¬
lish a Foundation to finance
camps and other club activities
which the state and federal
governments wouldn’t finance.
The fund would be credited by
each of the 116,750 members in
the state contributing money
made by the sale of two dozen"
eggs annually.
Miss Boswell reports one of the
highlights of the program was
the Talent Show in which ten
clubbers participated- It was a
Major Bowes on a small scale;

of Early County. She imitated
different birds she had learned
while climbing trees on her farm.
Other numbers were readings,

JUNIOR WOMACK WRECKS AT
RISING FAWN SUNDAY
Around 5:00 o’clock Sunday
afternoon Jr. Womack collided
with an A-model coupe which
was parked on the side of the
highway in Rising Fawn. He
was headed south, and observers
say he was passing another car
also going south as a third car
was approaching headed north
Marks on the road indicate that
when he struck the A-model his
car reversed direction. Womack
states that a bent fender caught
his wheel throwing him out of
control-
The appearance of the car
shows that he must have been
travling fast, because the left
front fender and engine housing
were smashed flat. The fram
was broken; the steering rod was
pushed back and the steering
wheel was broken where it struck
Womack in the chest.
He was taken to Newell’s hos¬
pital in Chattanooga for bruises
and possible internal injuries.
He is reported to be doing well
since no bones were broken.

NUMBER 33
Big Fair Planned For
Dade County
At the Directors meeting of
the Dade County Lions 'Club
Friday it was decided that the
Lions would co-sponsor the
County Fair which is to be held
sometime in October. The other
organization wh‘ich will assist
the Lions is the Dade County
Chapter of the Georgia Farm
Bureau. Last year it held the
first Fair in many years which
lasted one day.
Bigger and better events are
being planned for this year. To
begin with the Fair is to last
three days instead of one and
an attempt is being made to get
a small carnival, which should
be a large attraction as they
always are. Mr. Cleron Kyzer
is to be chairman, and each com¬
munity in the county will have
its individual exhibits as well
as exhibits shown by members
not connected with the com¬
munity groups. Furthermore
every farmer in the county is
invited to compete for various
livestock prizes which will be
awarded. Classes in horses, cat¬
tle and swine will be judged by
capable men.
A Fair would not be complete
without the younger people’s
participation- A project to be
presented in the 4-H club pig
chain conducted by the various
clubs in the county. Sponsored
by the Georgia Farm Bureau
the chain is as follows: Out of
the first litter of pigs born the
member, who owns the sow re¬
turns one of the pigs to the
Bureau. The Bureau gives the
pig to another club member thus
enabling him to start his herd.
To enter the chain the 4-H’er
must follow the rule—sow and
tend to one acre of pasture set
aside for the pig to feed on.
It is hoped that the Fair will be
a great success this year and
that everyone will come to the
Dade High Gym and participate-
