4-H ACHIEVEMENTS
Last spring many of our young
people joined with other members
of 4-H clubs all over the nation in
a Mobilization Week, railing the
rural youth to the war effort. The
effects of this mobilization have
been apparent all through the
summer youngsters collecting
piles of junk, old iron, steel, rubber,
paper and all the other salvage
items called for by the authorities
in Washington. They have been
more industrious in their gardens,
and in helping with the family’s
farm duties. They did mobilize,
not in a rush of excited, then wan
ing, endeavor, but in a spirit of
doing their share in our main job
of eliminating the axis.
Accounts have been cast up now,
and we find what they have ac
complished. Four-H members in
this county have purchased many
thousands of dollars worth of War
Bonds and Stamps, collected many
tons of salvage material and grown
hundreds of Victory gardens. Fam
ilies of 4-H members will reap the
full harvest during the winter as
the canned and stored foods bring
a bounty of health and good eat
ing to the table.
But these are not the only ac
complishments of our wide-awake
and alert 4-H members. Their club
projects in helping win the war are
as varied as farming. Boys and
girls, both, have had pig, poultry,
calf, dairy and similar projects and
completions ran high this year.
Four-H boys and girls had addi
tional projects in helping to re
lieve the farm-labor shortage, care
of farm machinery, first aid, home
nursing, nutrition, food-prepara
tion and clothing conservation.
The Achievement Week program
is only a symbol of the success of
these young Americans. Their
true achievement lies in the ac
ceptance of the responsibilities of
citizenship, ably demonstrated by
their discussions regarding the
democratic way of life, their hard
work on the projects, and the
methodical way they have gone
about learning to be better citizens
by working their hands, head and
heart.
Club members here in Chattooga
county have been working with
1,500,000 in the nation on a Seven-
Point Victory program, and else
where in this paper is a summary
of achievements for the year which
will show just how well they have
carried out the objectives listed be
low: ( J
1. Help to interpret the national
victory program to the nation.
2. Produce and conserve needed
food supplies for home and abroad.
3. Save for victory. Salvage, buy
bonds and stamps.
4. Develop our health and that of
the nation.
5. Acquire useful technical and
mechanical skills to meet war
time needs.
6. Practice democratic procedure
and learn to appreciate better our
democratic way of life.
7. Organize 4-H discussions re
garding some of the important so
cial and economic forces now at
work.
Citizenship Pledge
If there is anyone that doubts
the sincerity and determination of
these boys and girls who are back
ing up the nation’s war effort, let
him learn this Citizenship Oath
which every 4-H member in the na
tion has taken:
“We, individually and collective
ly, pledge our efforts from day to
.day, to fight for the ideals of this
nation.
“We will never allow tyranny
any injustice to become enthroned
in this, our country, through in
difference to our dutoes as citizens.
“We will strive for intellectual
honesty and exercise it through our
power of franchise. We will obey
the laws of the land and endeavor
increasingly to quicken the sense of
public duty among our fellow men.
“We will strive for individual im
provement and for social better
ment. We will devote our talents
to the enrichment of our homes
and our comunities in relation to
their material, social, and spiritual
needs.
“We will endeavor to transmit
this nation to posterity not merely
as we found it, but freer, happier
and more beautiful than it was
when transmitted to us,”

Send Your Senators a Telegram or
Letter to Keep Our Boys Sane
Suppose we all go to the beer and
whisky joints. All of us?
What of our depot agents, con
ductors and engineers.
One engineer with beer instead
of food for his supper wrecked his
train, killing over 200, putting out
over 500,000 telephones in an im
portant war zone—New York.
Better to shut down on liquor.
What about our schools, if 18
year boys in army camps will be
ridiculed, ostracized because they
don’t like liquor, let’s put it in our
schools good for them too!
Especially the girls. Our nurses
and doctors are such a help when
drunk? Some in every community
are not to be trusted because not
always free from the drug alcohol
or its insidious accomplice, mor
phine.
So if army boys must die drunk
let the nurses who care for them
also be too drugged to care what
happens.
What of the mothers of our na
tion? Shall we all lay down our
bread and meat money in the beer
joint and go on one enormous
spree with congress, who sets the
pace for consuming more liquor
than any other place in the coun
try.
Choose this day whom ye -will
serve America —drunk you surely
are Hitler’s slave.
Sane turn to God—serve Him. Be
fee. MAUDE I. MARKS
