4-H EXPBR1KNCE
By Am Qidnn
The 4-H Club work that I
have dam for the past five
years has mamt a lot to ma.
I have tried to live my dally
life by the 4-H mot?: "Make
The Best Better." By doing
ibis I have learned to do
things the bast way poasibte.
but have not settled for tha
first way, but have even triad
B> Improve that.
My 4-H Club work baa been
enjoyable aa well as educat
ional and profitable. In the
summers there wars camps
to attend for recreation and
learning experiences. Por the
senior members there are
leadership camps to train the
youth s> teach tha younger
members. In 1960 1 had the
pleasure of attending to 4-H
Regional Resource Develop
ment Conference held at Fon
tana Village, N. C. This trip
was a once In a life - time
treat. 1 waa a representative
for Cherokee County, along
with T. L. McNabb from Hl
waaaee Dam High School.
For two summers 1 gave
sewing demonstrations at the
District Meeting In Ashevllle.
There were always at least
thirty to forty people In the
audience. By giving the
demonstrations I became
more et ease when talking
with a large group. 1 wish (hat
more girls would take the
opportunity of giving demon
strations at District meet
ing each year. You have much
personal satisfaction so gain
by showing your ability to ex
press yourself In front of
others. It Isn't hard to write
or prep ere the demonstration
?id if you need help there Is
always someone near by with
the helping hand. Where going
to the District Meeting you
will not only be representing
yourself, your club, your club
leaders, and home county, but
also the County Home Agents
and the County Agricultural
Agents. They need your co
operation In order to make
Improvements In the county.
My main projects were
clothing and foods. I have
made most of my clothing for
the paat several years. It has
been ftm matching different
pieces of fabric to make out
fits. Not only did I sew for
myself, tart also for many
others. I did part of the fam
ily sewing st home. 1 mack
dresses for other people and
made tailored lined drapes.
I have shared my knowledge
of clothing construction with
others, by helping them to
learn sewing techniques.
The second largest project
was food preparation. This
was mostly baking. I enjoyed
using new recipes, and learn
ing the different methods of
mixing and baking the food
product. The best thing a
bout food preparation was that
I could eat my finished pro
duct.
Clothing and foods were not
my only projects. I have work
ed on health, good grooming,
frozen and earned foods, and
crafts.
My 4-H experiences are
remaining with me. I am no
longer going to public school
and attending the monthly
meetings. 1 am in college now
and often look back to all of
the wonderful times that I
have had.
No matter how old I be
come, 4-H experiences will
still remain with me. They are
a part of my personality. Four
H helps to develop good
character.
Any person who has been a
4-H club member or la a mem
bar now will realize the lm

Four-H work la great. Why

The young people need and
want you to help them.
Four-H la always making

several months the girl's tail

follow the fashion trend.
Help your community,

lights of club work. Last year

It will be Camp Swannanoa.
Swimming, hiking, crafta,
wildlife, recreation, vespers,
aid ta and folk dancing are only
a part of what 4-H'ers enjoy

The finest endorsement for
this camp Is that many 4-H'ers

broaden their personality, be
better able to get along with
others and just plain have the
time of their life at camp this

of. Is there a community 4-H
Club in your section? Your
Interest and support will make
a club available to more yoiaig
people in your community.

HOME MIXING OF POULTRY
FEEDS PROFITABLE
Hatching egg production Is
reasonably good at this period
of 1963. Now Is a good time
for hatching egg producers to

The first and most Important
cost to look at Is the feed

MY EXPERIENCE AT 4-H
CAMP
By Denny Smith
Murphy 4-H Club
I went to 4-H Camp in 1962.
I liked It very much. Going
thera wa sang lots of songs.
We talkad about what we
thought camp would be like.
Of course, some of the others
had bean before, to three, four
and some, even five times.
They knew. But It being my
first year, 1 just listened end
wondered.
I met a lot of people there.
I made a tray, and learned
about bow to work with elec
tricity.
I was even lucky enough to
get In a grotp that was first
in almost everything we did.
It was the "Heart Grotgt."
Our grotg) won swarda In all
kinds of games. We won the
swimming contest too. I won
an award for "Best Boy
Swimmer."
Cherokee County walked a
way with seven of the awards
given at camp.
I enjoyed it because the peo
ple were new "friends."
There wasn't anything I dichi't
like about camp.
