SECTION TWO— 4-H CLUB WORK AS I SEE IT I By Mrs. H. H. Lane, Adult 4-H Club Leader of the Hyland Community More than a quarter of a century ago a small group or North Carolina boys was organized into a club, from which has grown the largest youth or gnization in the world. From this one club, embracing one activity (corn) has emerged the 4-H organization, that includes all phases of agricul ture and homemaking, including dra ma, music, recreation, health, handi-, craft, cooperation and community ac-j tivity. From such project activities, rural boys and girls have developed desirable ideals and standards for ru ral living. The 4-H Club program trains our young people in the art of living. Through their club work, boys and girls are given an opportunity to learn by doing, through conducting certain farm and home enterprises, and dem onstrating to others what they are do ing. It is one of the objectives of 4-H club work to teach and demonstrate to rural youth methods designed to improve practices ir Agriculture and homemaking, to the end that farm in comes may be increased, standards of living improved, and the satisfaction, of farm life so enhanced that our boys and girls will want to remain at home and face temptations of high State Accepts Four National 4-H Awards Programs For 1954 The State Club office has accepted four national 4-H awards programs for participation of members in 1954, the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work has announced. The programs are Garden. Clothing Ach ievement, Poultry, and Tractor Main tenance, in the last three of which awards have been changed. Tn the 4-H Clothing program, four (formerly one) gold-filled medals of honor will he provided for winners in qualifying counties by the awards don or. Coats & Clark, Inc. As in the past, the state winner will receive an all-expense trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. Also, 12 state winners selected for national awards will each receive a $300.00 col lege scholarship. Instead of five sterling silver medal awards to county winners in the 4-H Poultry program, four gold-filled med als will be provided this year by the Tractor and Implement Division. Ford Motor Co.

In this changing world of ours, the young people of today are asked to as sume new responsibilities, undertake bigger tasks and do more with less. So I think that if we, as parents and I adult leaders, could realize what a | challenge youth does face today, and | how much they need our guidance and | sympathetic understanding of their j problems and opportunities, we should I I be more willing to give of our time to help them. With the good training that the 4-H Club program gives these future lead ers we need have no fear for the fate : of our nation, for their thinking will determine its course. They will face 1 the future with strength, integrity, 1 and clear vision that comes from rural life at its best. As one of our State Leaders has said. “The 4-H Club program is big enough to cover the entire world and ' flexible enough to fit the needs of ev , ery rural boy and girl.” I believe tTTat [ as boys and girls have grown in club . work, their influence has spread to the > ranks of the adults at.d as they see !

A famous preacher, one summer , Sunday, noticed that many cf his con gregation were drowsing. He paused in his sermon, and then went on in a loud voice. “I once called at a farm house and observed a remarkable sight. I saw | a sow with a litter of seven pigs and each offspring had a long curved horn i growing out of the forehead between the ears!” The clergyman paused again and looked over his congregation. Every-j one now, was wide awake. Then he j remarked, | “How strange it is. A few minutes) ' ago T was telling you the truth and ; ■ you went to sleep. But now, when | . you have heard a whopping lie, you j ■ j are all wide awake.” ■ Lies are vicious destroyers, yet how i often a “tall story” is accepted with • out question. We sleep with great, ■ truths all around us. A lie snaps us • awake in an instant. We seize it eag ■ erly and pass it on. i The next time a startling tale races i' toward you, thrust out a foot and trip it. Then question it thoroughly. If it iis a lie, it should not be helped on its way, If it is true, but harmful, i restrain it. If it is true and helpful, | pass it on swiftly. Too seldom does a helpful truth receive the assistance it deserves. SAFETY CONFERENCE MAY 4-6 The 24th Annual Statewide Indus trial Safety Conference will be held in ! Raleigh May 4,5, and 6.
