4-H Thrift Plan
Model for Nation
_*_ ■ !
A nation-wide 4-H Club thrift'
project is to follow the plan North ,
Carolina 4-H leaders developed
during the past year. Using the
slogan "Earn, Save, and Serve,” I
the program will be launched on a
national scale this fall.
Purpose of the thrift project I
is to further emphasize the thrift1
factor that has always been an im-1
portant principle in 4-H work.1
The nearly two million club mem
bers in the Country will be encour
aged to practice thrift in all their
activities and to use wisely the
savings which result by purchase
of U. S. savings bonds, establish
ing savings accounts in local
banks, investing in life insurance,
and in other practical investments.
L. R. Harrill, North Carolina
4-H Club leader, was a member
of the committee which developed
the national program. Sponsors
include the Extension Service of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture and the State colleges of ag
riculture, the Agricultural Com
mission of the American Bankers
Association, and the Savings Bond
Division of the U. S. Treasury De
partment.
National 4-H Achievement
Week, November 4-12, has been
chosen by a number of states as
an appropriate time to launch the
program, although the starting
date is optional.
Specific thrift goals for the
hoys and girls in the 84,000 4-H
Clubs will be decided by the
members themselves with the ad
vice of their readers. Suggested
forms of thrift, include: better
money management, savings'
\ through improving health habits, i
better care of clothing, econom- J
