An original idea oi Mrs
Chris Holtzman, adult vol
unteer 4-H leader of the
Wise-Paschall 4-H Club, has
appeared in print through
the pages of the National 4-H
News magazine.
Mrs. Holtzman. frequent
ly recognized for her
outstanding service in vari
ous civic capacities, has
likewise been recognized
often in 4-H circles.
When she received her
25-year 4-H service pin in
1975, it marked the fifth pin
she had received from the
Warren County organiza
tion. First had come the
Silver Clover, a five-year
service pin. Next, the Gold
Clover for 10 years of
leadership; then the Pearl
Clover for 15 years, the
Diamond Clover for 20 years
and lastly the Emerald
Clover for 25 years.
"It seemed too much to
put all five individual pins
on my coat or dress when
wearing my pins to special
meetings," Mrs. Holtzman
recalls. "So, after further
thought, this design came to
mind."
With this design, Mrs.
Holtzman proceeded to her
jewelers. A. C. Fair of
Warrenton, who set the five
clover pins on a round gold
piece.
"Further thinking at that
time on my love for 4-H and
hope for continued service
led me to suggest to Mr.
Fair that the gold plate be
made large enough to
