National 4-H Week Being Observed By Warren County 4-H Members And Their Leaders T ■ 9 / / This U Nat tonal 4-H Waek and War ran County 4-H memban and thalr leaders are observing the week with accounts of their projects and various activities. Mmy Things About 4-H Work Amplified During National Week During National 4-H Club Week Observance, October 410, 1970, many things are being amplified about 4-H. This Is why the stroke of my pen leads me to discuss 4-H projects and record keeping. A project Is a task or problem calling for constructive thought and /or action. It provides the participant with Informal, educational and real life-like experiences which help him to become more knowledgeable of the subject as wel' as "why" certain things happen. The ultimate purpose of the 4-H project Is to help In the overall development of the 4-H boy and girl. A project is completed when the specific requirements in the record book and/or manual have been carried out. Different projects have different requirements and many projects are made up of units designed for specific age levels. The specific requirements are the minimum. A member may advance project work beyond the minimum If he so desires. When the project is completed, the record book should be submitted to the member's leader to be considered for Judging and recognition. The wide range of projects offered In 4-H are constantly changing to meet the needs and Interests of boys and girls. Record Keeping Learning to keep records Is valuable training for the 4-H boy and girl. It Is a part of "education for living." It has merll from the business standpoint; the record is a good yardstick with which to measure self and evaluate accomplishments; the properly completed record can help members develop skills in record keeping techniques; records can help the agent and leaders appraise what members have learned and thereby guide them In their future project and program selections. Records are a means by which 4-H members may compete for county, district, state and national honors. m 4-H there Is the project record and the long-time record. The project record Is kept on work done in a specific subject matter area In a period of a year or less. The 4-H long-time record is compiled for a period of more than um year ud (e an accumulation at all work and accomplishments tn 4-H. The Yearly Project Record Yearly project records Is kept and completed by each 4-H'er cm the project (a) he Is conducting. In addition to being a valuable educational experience, the record Is the basis by which county and blue ribbon winner* are determined. Consequently, the entries in the record should be (actual and relevant to the objectives for completion of the project. The project is complete when the project requirements are met to the satisfaction of the leader and/or agent. When completed, the record Is submitted to the leader for judging and selection of club or special interest group winners. Records may be turned in upon completion or on a designated date as agreed on in the county. Generally speaking, early October is a convenient time for project records to be submitted. However, there may be exceptions in the case of crop projects which may not be completed by this time and in the case of others which may be completed earlier. The community club, special interest and project leaders assist members in understanding the record book and manual and how to complete them. Thus the agent trains leaders to help members with their records; Junior leaders are very helpful to younger club members in completing records. 4-H Involvement Key To Staying Young For more than 66 Warren County residents, the key to staying young Is Involvement with youth. They are volunteer leaders assisting with the Warren County 4-H program. These volunteer leaders, according to L. B. Hardage, Warren County Extension Chairman, are revealing their faith in today's young people. They share a common Interestseeing boys and girls advance through the opportunities available In 4-H. Hardage says boys and girls between 9 and 19 may be 4-H members. Those young and not so young who are over 19 may join 4-H as volunteer leaders. He points out that more leaders are needed to serve even more Warren County young people through 4-H. Mrs. Janet Conn recently returned home after visiting friends and relatives in ZebuIon, her former home. Misses Bonnie Clayton, Gloria Munn and Verlene Thompson of Hardbargers Business College In Raleigh spent the weekend at their homes here. RICHARD HOLTZMAN BUILDING BIRDHOt'SES Holtzman Finds Projects Interesting By RICHARD HOLTZMAN, JR. I have several interesting 4-H projects - Forestry, Wildlife, Health, Electric and Soil Testing. Wildlife is ray favorite. My 4-H Wildlife project has taught me many useful things. I have learned about fish, animals, snakes and birds. I learned to make casts of animal tracks using plaster of Paris. I also learned to plant seed for the birds to eat in the winter. Making bird houses and feed P ers (or my Wildlife project has been fun for me. I made a Bluebird Special that Is constructed from a board 5 3/4 Inches wide and 55 Inches long. This is simple to make and costs about 75 cents. Later, I learned to make a birdhouse for Wrens, Bluebirds and Tree Swallows from a three quart can that I got at a restaurant. I cut a door by putting the can in a vise and cutting the 1 1/2 Inch hole with a chisel and hammer. The roof Is made with an 8 x 10 inch board and fastened to the can with screw eyes and wire. This house costs very little to make because It Is made with scrap material. I also learned that -1 can make bird houses and feeders from gourds that I grow In the garden. These are easy to make and the only cost Is (or paint. This Is a very worthy project. My bird friends reward me with pretty songs and bright feathers. They also keep Insects in check. Being a 4-H member has been a wonderful experience for me. I plan to continue my Wildlife project. Club Reporter Tells Of Trip To Wilmington By BERMCE WILLIAMS Reporter The Battleship U. S. S. North Carolina, was something to see for 40 4-H club members and. leaders of the Embro Community. Our group traveled by bus to Wilmington. We stopped at a rest stop about half way to Wilmington. Our next stop was at an amusement park for lunch. We saw afew animals and things of interest at the park. After we left the park, we headed for the U. S. Battleship North Carolina. When we got thefre, we had to pay a dollar each to get on the ship. The ship was so big that some of the members got lost on It. We saw the big guns on deck. We saw the ships galley, commonly called the Kitchen, and the museum with the history of the ship and some Important events which happened while the ship was In the war. We also saw Project Work Mojor Port Of 4-H Story In the modern 4-H program, L. B. Hardage, County Extension Chairman and 4-H Coordinator, said the major part of the 4-H story is project work. Members choose from some 109 projects dealing with everyday learning experiences that fit them and the places which they live. Warren County boys and girls were enrolled In a wide variety of educational learn-by-doing farm, home, personal development, and community project* last year, the Extension agent reports. The Cooperative Extension Service of N. C. State University, Raleigh, N. C. provides each 4-H member with the latest research information and up-to-date methods for carrying on the projects selected. Using this Information, the 4-H'er develops his or her project, keep records, prepares educational exhibits, and makes show-and-tell presentations tor the benefit of others. However, projects aren't the whole story in 4-H, Hardage said. In 4-H, Warren County boys ami girls have fun, (o to camp, take special trips, attend dtnr 's, banquets, and rallies; participate in County and State Fairs, earn awards—Including scholarships, work with younger 4-H members, enroll In leadership and citizenship programs, and discover new and Interesting ways to enjoy Itfe while living it, Hardage com where the sailors slept and the ship's engines and there were lots of interesting points to learn. We learned a lot about our ships and their use in war. We left Wilmington at 3:30 p. m. Before we left the group took a picture together. On the way back we stopped at Rich's Restaurant and ate again. The 4-H members got back at 7:30 p. m. The trip to Wilmington was certainly Interesting and everyone really enjoyed themselves.
