WOOD & SONS RICHMOND, VA. SEEDSMEN SINCE 1879 of the many 4-H clubs over the county. It's purpose is promoting the club program and training for leadership. In the council meetings the members assist the agents with suggestions about club programs as well as receive help and leader ship hints which we tal?e to our individual clubs. The council, through it's mem bers. helps stimulate the 4-H in terest. even to all communities, as well as to the many clubs in the county. Also, parliamentary procedure is practiced and is taken back to the various clubs represented in the council. In the meetings, members also receive help in filling out records, which are very essential in the club work. It can never be stress ed too much the importance of records. The officers of the council are as follows: President. Patricia Tatham. who comes from the Franklin High and the Franklin Senior clubs; vice-president, Peggy Jean Morgan, who represents the Nantahala club; secretary, Jackic Ann Cabe. who represents Holly Springs club; treasurer, Brenda Cunningham, who comes from the Carson club, and song leaders. Wanda Bailey and Linda Neal. both of whom come from East Franklin club. . With the leadership of these officers, the 4-H Club County Council does everything to pro mote the 4-H motto ? "To Make The Best Better." Patricia Tatham WHAT 4-H PROGRAM MEANS TO A YOUTH The way I see it, 4-H is not just a club for boys and girls, but an organization through which the young people of America can learn opportunities and responsi bilities. The young people of today are the men and women of to morrow. Through 4-H these young people learn of the many trials they will soon face in the world. Take, for instance, a boy who is fitting out a calf for the show. To him, the calf is one of the best-looking calves he has ever seen. He is sure it will win a blue ribbon, or it might be a grand champion. When he takes it to the show it only gets a white ribbon. The boy is disappointed and he feels like all his work was in vain. Still, the boy will be prepared the next time. be; cause he knows that the world is not always rosy. He is beins prepared for life. 4-H is not just dairying or dress making for it offers several pro jects that will suit every boy and girl. 4 H teaches perseverance ana industriousness. Believe me, 4-H is one of the best organizations for youth. Bud Shop? APPRECIATION OFFERED TO ADULT 4-H LEADERS We, as 4-H members, would like to express our gratitude to our local leaders. They are helpinu us grow into finer men and women to perform the duties of tomorrow. The local leaders help us in many ways. They take time with each member as well as with the group. Six of the most important ways in which they aid us are: 1. Get all youth in the neigh borhood to join the 4-H club. 2. Help members with projects. 3. Are able to give any infor mation to a member needed to conduct a subject. 4. Help members select equip ment for project. 5. Help each member individ ually in- keeping record books. 6 They have faith in club mem bers. believing they can be some thing for "ourselves, our club, our community and our country."
