Dade Elected Chief and Princess Not ten but 52 “Little returned to Dade County Friday from a week’s stay at Rock Eagle 4-H Club They were accompanied by three squaws and two braves. History was made at Rock Eagle last week since this was the largest group of young people ever to use the facilities of the great 4-H Club Center at one time. There was a total of 997 Four-H Club members, agents and leaders present for the North Georgia 4-H Club Camp. 23 of the 26 counties in the N. Ga. Ex¬ tension District were represented The remaining three counties will attend camp either at Rock Eagle on a later date or at one of the three or four other camps in Georgia. The 4-H Club Center is divided into three areas which composes the great Rock Eagle Nation. (During camp the club members inhabiting each of these areas assume the name of an Indian Tribe—Cherokees, Shawnees or Muskogees. There tribes compete for points during the week and the tribe having the most points at the end of the week is award¬ ed the tribal shield. Points are awarded on the basis of camp clean up, having lights out at 11:00 p. m., class attendance and area clean up. We are very hap¬ py that the Dade County group was a part of the winning tribe. The Muskogees win ‘em tribal shield. We heap proud! Each club member participat¬ ed in one major interest group such as crafts, woodwork, metal craft, leather, cement, living, drama, fashions for the modern ^ miss, forestry, fun with management, Telephone service to the New Salem Community is now a real¬ Six phones are already con¬ nected and the Trenton Tele¬ phone Company is working every day to connect up the rest. Because the new enlarged switchboard has not yet arrived and the New Salem subscribers were getting impatient to have telephone service, they are now being hooked up on the old board However this will mean a lot of doubling up, at least for the pres¬ ent, and all New Salem subscrib¬ ers will be on party lines as the old board is not large enough to take care of these additional sect study, out door cooking, rec- leadership, what every boy and girl should know, and wildlife. Minor interest group included: crafts, Indian lore, and nature hike. All campers went swimming twice a day and participated in organized recreation once or twice daily. We were very glad to have Mr. and Mfs. Harold Dugan and fam¬ ily and Mr. and Mrs. Leon Moore and daughter of Slygo visit us on Thursday and Friday. They seemed to enjoy camp life very much. Mr. and Mrs. Moore’s two sons, Larry and Gary spent the week at camp. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the week was the pa¬ geant on Thursday evening which was held out by the lake shore by a traditional Indian camp fire. The area was lighted with the big camp fire and several brightly burning torches. The pageant portrayed one of the legends about the great Rock Eagle mound for which the camp is named. The Chiefs and Prin¬ cesses of the three tribes,, carry¬ ing burning torches which re¬ flected in the lake, rowed to the 6hore just as the sun was set¬ ting and the festivities began. In addition to the pageant there were contests and games in which the three tribes com¬ peted. If someone had heard the tribes yelling he might have be¬ lieved that real Indians had re turned. They yell ‘em heap loud! Four campers from Dade County were honored by being elected Chief or Princess in their respective cottages. They were, Dana Nethery, Mike Doubleday, Doubleday and Kenneth Publish ed Weekl y—Sinc e 1901 Installed at New Salem Landowners to Plant Seedlings It was reported at this week’s meeting that 81,500 tree seedlings 1___] had U__ been _ ordered ^ am on tho the TVjHp Dade County Forestry Demonstration Club’s campaign to have 100 landowners in the county plant 100,000 tree seedlings this sum¬ mer.
