WFD.. MAR. ß. 1S8* THE TAROR CITV ΤΚΙΒΓ .Κ I*AC·Κ 1 Colnbus 4-H Members Tell Storv Of Achievement _ ι>· rniai tVANS w WfüUiru Frone Community 1-H Club Think this is u poor topic to choose? You say you know the iiu.tto, "Tu Muko the Best Bet ter." You probably also know the offici.il emblem is a four leaf clover with the letter "H" «αϊ e;ieh leaflet meaning the *'« velopment of Head. Heart. Hands and Health. The pledge φ is probably familiar to you. 10. It is us follows: "I pledge >ly HEAD to elrarer think· inc. My II KART to greater loy alty. My HANDS to larger serv ice, and My HEALTH to better liv ing. for my club, my community, and my country." But ari· yju similarly famil iar with the National 4-H Club : I Creed? It is as follows: t "I believe In Beys' and Girls' ■ ι 4-H Club warb far the ι opportunity It rives me to . become a useful eltisen. may ,4babo.bl 1 believe In the training of my HEAD far the power It will rive me to THINK, ι PLAN, and REASON. < I believe in the train in* of s my HEART for the noble- \ ness It will give me to be 1 KIND.

I believe in my Country, my < ι State, my Community and < in my responsibility for their development. In all these things I believe and I am willing to dedi cate my efforts to their fulfillment" Most 4-H'ers are nine years old when they enter club work and can remain active memb ers until they are twenty-one. There are many honors that can be earned in these twelve years from the county all the way to the national level. These honors can be earned by j demonstrations and project re j cord books. There are many trips and scholarships avail able for the worthy 4-H mem ber. The highlight of any North Carolina 4-H'ers career after many years of hard work is to be tapped into the State 4-H Honor Club. Any Honor Club member will tell you that all the work and effort is weil worth it when you feel that tap on your shoulder in front ( of over one thousand other 4 H'ers, who well know all th-j work you did to deserve that tap in the impressive Honor Club Tapping at State 4-11 Club Week. Yes, 4-H work is most re warding and educational and it would be beneficial for any young person to invest his time in. Club work has proved over and over again this by chanfe- ' iog the shy. withdrawn young member when he first joins to the "leader of tomorrow" that you see in any older 4-H mem ber. Or as someone once said, "The 4-H'ers of today will be the leaders of tomorrow!" PROJECT WORK By Richard Bowen Mishop Spring 4-H Club From a one acre oorn pro ject in 1957, I have increased my project work in size and member through 1962. Dur- j ing this period of six years I have completed 30 field crops projects. This truly indicates the interest and enjoyment 1 have received in 4-H work. The improved skills and me thods of farming have helped make a profit for our family budget. Through my project work, I have learned of the need for | seed selection, including var ieties and type; proper ferti lizer rate for crops; proper J cultural practices to eliminate weeds and decrease damage to i feed roots; proper chemicals | and procedures for insect and disease control; importance of | timely harvest and storage, and many other skills neoded to assist in improving the pro duction level on our farm. I have completed 69 4-H projects and these projects lave taught me good recoro eeping which has brought nany fruitful returns in trips, riends, ribbons, and honors. 4-H FORESTRY PROJECT By Harold Thompson Mishop Sprints 4-H Clab Having completed one year f Tree Identification as my -H project I decided to put ume unused pasture land to rork for me. In January 1962. ordered 1000 pine seedlings trough our 4-H Forestry Pro ram. By March they had ar ived and were ready tor ilanting. We then borrowed a libble from the North Caro ina Forestry Department and tegan to undertake the job if transplanting the seedlings. Vith the help of my Mother, t took approximately 10 hours >f working time to set out the foung pines. Now, February 1963. Almost une year from the date we transplanted them, about ί>5·ί nt the original 1000 seedlings are living. They range lrom 2 to 3'<4 feet in size. This has been good experi ence to me and gives me a feeling of great satisfaction to see them grow. 4-H CAN HELP YOU By Glnny Honeycutt Intermediate Cloverettes 4-H can help you in many ways. Being in 4-H helps you to get along with people and to understand them better. It helps you to be graceful, pois ed and well-dressed. Everyone needs to be well groomed. 4-H can help you learn to sew. I had never sewed betöre, until I became a 4-H member. Now, I enjoy sewing and hope to learn even more. Being able to sew helps you to have more clothes at less cost. Being in 4-H also helps you to learn to cook. There p.re many projects in cooking which you can take. Cookini; is a useful project and ail girls need to learn to cook. 4-H can help you in many more ways than these and it means a lot to me. Let's all learn to MAKE THE BEST BETTER! WHAT 4-H MEANS TO ME Ί 4-H is a program of work ' recreation and unity. Work i: learning to carry out respon sibilities and working togethei with others. Recreation L a learning to be honest and fair I to have fun and to develoi the Health of the individual You cannot have either work or recreation without unity. 4-H is different from both y church and school in that it u carries part of both. 4-H is J( planning ahead for the future ' ς for there will be no future J without the help of God and V the developed brains of the younger generation. , I 4-H brings out the talents of j the individual and developes those skills of which he or she possesses. All this is what 4-H \ means to me. By Billy Inman North Whiteville ] 4-H Club MY 4-H PROJECT ι My 4-H project means great j I responsibility to keep my gar- ' den in good condition.

"It will lead to new challenging experi ences, to knowledge that will sharpen the imagination, and to skills that challenge the in genuity of youth." Harrill says that during Na tional 4-H Club Week, March 2-9, many girls and boys will be recognized for their out standing accomplishments in 4-H Club work. "The great challenge to' leadership is a belief in the philosophy that what 4-H does for a boy or a girl is more important than what the boy I or girl does for 4-H". adds1 Harrill. "This was so well de- ' fined in a statement by a for mer 4-H member who is now a college student. The student said, 'Trips, awards, pins, certificates and other material gains become insignificant as I attempt to determine my most noteworthy accomplish ment as a local 4-H member. Becoming an asset to my fam ily by acquiring skills, making various improvements about the home, providing skills and valuable knowledge to others through demonstrations and activities are satisfying to me. Consequently, my noteworthy accomplishment as a 4-H mem ber is revealed—the finding of Γ a vocational direction and pur pose of my life.' "There are many compensa tions for service to others, but the highest reward for leader ship is not what one gives but what he becomes because of it." declares Harrill. "In the role of leadership, we need to lemember to be ourselves, to begin where we are, to use our talents and to remember that we cannot live and progress on reflected glory of past ach ievemment. We grow into greatness as we build on past accomplishments." rent Pitching rime Says 4-H .eader Glover BY TOMMY D.
