4-H Club News
I pledge,
my Head to clearer thinking
my Heart to greater loyalty
my Hands to larger service and
my Health to better living
For my club, my community, and
my country.
This pledge is repeated time after
time my 524 rural boys and girls in
Vance county. It is the national
pledge of the 4-H Club. The national
club motto is "to make the best bet
ter". The national club emblem is
the four-leaf clover. There is a big
letter H on each leaf. The four H's
stand for head, heart, hands, and
health, representing a fourfold idea.
The head is developed to think, to
plan, to reason; the heart to be kind,
true, and sympatetic: the hands to
be useful, helpful, and skillful; and
health should be cultivated for the
enjoyment of life, the resisting of
lisease, and the increasing of effici
ency,
1 nere may be readers (even though
the 4-H Club has been organized
about thirty years) who will say—
What is the 4-H Club? It is a nation
wide organization of rural youth
conducted by the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the Ex
tension Service in the various state
agricultural colleges. It has state
leaders, county leaders, and local
leaders. Its objective is to give rural
boys and girls training in better
practices in agriculture and home
making. and in the broader phases of
community oi'ganization, and the fine
and more significant things of life.
Club work is available for every
rural boy and girl between the ages
of ten and twenty inclusive.
Through a weekly column in the
Henderson Daily Dispatch the 4-H
club members of Vance county will
endeavor to acquaint the general
public with 4-H club work in the
county. There are 524 members com
prising six organized clubs—one in
each of the following schools: Towns
vine. Dabney, Middleburg, Aycock.
Drewry. and Zeb Vance. They art
working in competition to see which
club can do the most outstanding
project work. Each week the secre
taries of the clubs will report to Lu
cille Gupton, a local leader of the
Townsville club, who will act as
county reporter for the year 1940.
The secretaries of the clubs are as
follows: Aycock, Dena Adcock; Dab
ney, Helen Grissom, Drewry, Lucille
Watkins; Middleburg, Julia Mae
Dickerson; Townsville, Christine
Brewer: and Zeb Vance; Annie Mae
Dickerson.
Once a month the boys and girls
in each club hold a joint club meet
ing. -Next week we shall have a re
port from the point meetings.

Dean Brown
Speaks Here
For Rotary
Dean D. F. Brown, ol' N. C. State
College, Raleigh. was the speaker at
ihe regular weekly meeting of the
Rotary club Tuesday evening at 6:30
o'clock at the Vance hotel.
He was introduced by Dr. I. H. '
Hoyle, who had charge of the pro
gram.
Dean Brown spoke on the political
and economic situation in Europe,
reminding his hearers that there
were two national entities.
The speaker did not dwell at
great length on the political situa
tion, stressing mostly the economic
problems. Dean Brown declared
there is no absolute economic en
tity in the world, and that the Lord
made the world, and it. it-el!', is an
economic entity, and lor one nation
to have economic entity, it must
conquor the entire world.
The United States, Russia and the
British* empire, in the order named,
are the nearest lto economic en
tities ol"| nations of' any in the world,
but these are deficient in many
items. \
The speaker pointed xo Germany,

strife and suffering.
Dean Brown pointed out ways to
bring about economic entities, de
claring that the only common sense
way h honest free trade among the
nations, each exchanging with
others.
The speaker declared that dor
any powerful nation to impose its
will upon a smaller nation is the
same as a highway robber who
holds up and robs at the point of
a gun.
Two new members were taken
into the club. They arc R. G. S.
