Route 7, Dunn, Family Has Added Many Honors to 4-H % fe- By TOM WOOD N. C. State College The tapping of Gene Jackson into the State 4-H Honor club last week is another milestone in a 47-year love affair of the Jasper D, Jackson family with 4-H. Gene, 18, is the sixth member of the Dunn, route 1, family to be tapped into the Honor dub. There’s his mother, who was a member of one of the early to mato clubs in 1915-20; his eldest brother, James Wright Jackson, 31, a topnotch hog producer; his second brother, Bobby, 29, mana ger of the hog market at Scotland Neck (Bobby’s wife, Dale, was in the Honor club, too); his sister, Marjorie Jackson Wiggins, 27, now living at Kinston and the wife of Soil Conservationist Tal- madge Wiggins; and his brother, Jackie, 25, a sophomore at State college after a stint in the Air Force. The only one left is nine-year- old Blake, who’s just about ready to get into 4-H. Membership in the Honor club is the finest award that can come to a 4-H’er. It’s recognition of superior achievements. Outstanding accomplishment is a habit with the Jackson family. They’ve been topping records ever since Tom Cornwell, Sampson county assistant county agent, got them interested in 4-H ’way back when. Marjorie thanks former Home Agent Eleanor Southerland and her assistant, Maxine Pleasant, for spurring her along to become the national winner in frozen foods in 1952. Marjorie was “defeated miser ably” for president of the State 4-H Council in 1953. But six years later the nucleus of the group that helped defeat her asked her to be president of the Honor club. She held that office in 1959-60. James was vice president of the State council in 1949. James at tributes his record as a producer of hogs and tobacco (with father- in-law D. C. Baggett, a couple of miles from the Jackson home farm) to his 4-H training. That rec ord led the Dunn Jaycees to name James “Young Farmer of the Year” in 1960. Jackie won many 4-H district awards and took a host of honors in dairy shows. He once had the grand champion uuernsey at the State Fair. Three years ago, Gene was state winner in corn production. “Gene is the quietest but the deepest of the family,” says Marjorie. “He has been outstanding in county and district events, and he has helped other 4-H’ers a great deal.” Something Gene said to Blake sums up the Jackson family’s whole philosophy of 4-H.
