Leaders Needed
For 4-H Work
By Aubry Johnson
Thirty-five years ago when only
a few families had cars, it was
hard to tell where farming ended
and our towns began. In fact,
most every family did some farm
ing and raised some livestock
even inside our rural towns. We
used wood to heat and cook with,
laundry was done by hand, meat
was slaughtered and processed at
home. Then there was the neces
sity of every member of the
family to assume responsibility
and do his share of the ever
present chores. Now it is no lon
ger true even on some of our
farms.
Now many of our children grow
up unaware of responsibility, with
little knowledge of how to earn
money, and no way to acquire
practical experience in working
with their minds and hands. This
is not their fault. There is al
ready an organization in our
county that can help teach our
youngsters responsibility, and give
them practical experience in many
areas of endeavor.
The 4-H Club organization is
reaching a very small percentage
of our young people in Brunswick
County, because it lacks adult
leadership. Our Extension Service
workers are ready and willing to
assist in organizing 4-H Clubs in
any community desiring its aid
and willing to provide adult lead
ership. Not one of our youth
should be denied the benefits 4-H
can provide. We have the best
young people, but borrowing a
4-H slogan, “The Best Can Be
Better”, with our adult assistance.

Program Planned

Exum Community 4-H Club Leader
The Exum 4-H Club meets the
first Saturday of each month and
'the adult council has met to study
and discuss demonstrations that
will be most beneficial for the
club. We have had several films
of interest to everyone. Let us
as parents bear in mind that
every child want to feel that he is
important and that they are rec
ognized by every one, that they
are appreciated for their good
qualities.
We must help our 4-H boys and

Wildlife Camp
Enjoyable Trip
By Charles Allen Russ, Member
Exum Community 4-H Club
At the end of last year’s 4-H
Club work the boys and girls
throughout the county taking
wildlife as a project completed
I our records and after turning in
| a long-time recoi’d book I was
selected to represent Brunswick
County at Wildlife Camp at Mill
stone in Richmond County.
X was there from August 7-12
with boys and girls from all over
the state. We heard talks by the
State 4-H Leader and State Wild
life Leader, also demonstrations
on water safety, casting and fire
arms safety. Each day we had
classes on soil and water conser
vation, plants and plant life and
discussions on what we had done
j in our wildlife project.
On the last day of camp we all
loaded on trucks and went on a
tour through the State Wildlife
Food Experiment area and to the
Federal Fish Hatchery nearby.
This was very interesting to us
all.
Each day at camp we had a
recreation period and swimming.

nized as indiivduals worthy with
ability. Let us as adults help
them to achieve this goal.
j At night there was a time for
| games and fun ending with Ves

■ week very much working and
| playing with 4-H club members
i from all counties in the state. Be
' sides making new friends, with
I camp staff and delegates, I was
! benefited in both knowledge
: and skill. It gave me a bet
ter respect for our natural re
| sources and' wildlife and I feel
that I will be able to do better
club work in the years to come.
4-H Gamp Affords
Good Recreation
By Sharon Bradsher and
Joan Grissett
The opportunities of going- to
4-H Club Camp are many. First
there are wonderful days of fun
and the opportunity to meet new !
people and make new friends. :
Second there are things learned I
about nature and various things i
everyone needs to know. Third, !
and most of all I think it creates j
prestige within a person. The
opinion of 4-H Camp we got was
something like this, it was a place
Where boys and girls interested
in 4-H gp to learn, work, and have
wholesome fun.
The 27 4-H club members that j
went from Brunswick County in ]
1961 all agreed that their week
at Camp Millstone was a well j
spent week of their time.
