4-H Program
is Activated
Watauga County 4-H supporters
met Monday night in the new Edu
cational building of the Boone
Methodiit Church, and named
Clyde Austin to the chairmanship
of a new far-iighted 4-H program
within the county.
The organization formed will be
known as the 4-H Development
Fund. Its purpose will be to es
tablish a continuing financial pro
gram of support for 4-H Club pro
grams, and to serve as a channel
through which financial and moral
support can be mobilized for great
er service to rural youth. Special
emphasis will be placed upon
scholarship foundations that will
enable deserving rural youth to
continue their education.
Formation of the group was
guided by H. L. Reynolds, assist
ant State 4-H Ciub leader. Mr.
Reynolds told the group that,
while state- wide in scope, each
county 4-H Development Fund
group is an independent unit, and
will set its own goals, determine
its own program and provide its
own local leadership.
The organization at state level
will act only to help guide and
strengthen and mobilize for great
est effectiveness the local units,
Mr. Reynolds said.
Mr. Reynolds congratulated Wa
tauga 4-H leadership on its role
of intensive promotion of a pro
gram that she said would enrich
the opportunities of youth today
and expand those of yet unborn
Watauga rural youth.
Other officers named at the
meeting were: Mrs. Asa Reese,
vice president; Mrs. W. R. Vines,
secretary; and A. T. Adams, treas
urer.
Officers of the new organization
were explicit in a statement that
the role of the group was not to
solicit funds, but rather to receive
and direct the use of funds made
available through industry and
ither sources who malfe financial
expression of their faith in the
youth of rural America.
"There is no plan now, nor
will any be made in the future, for
local solicitation by this group,"
Mr. Austin said. "Our purpose is
to receive, and try to make wise
