Spotlight On Nat'l 4-H Week
EDITORS NOTE: This week's
feature was contributed by 4-H
leaders and members in celebration
of National 4-H Week.
During the week of October S ? U.
many 4-Her's in the United States,
along with members in Hoke County,
are celebrating National 4-H Week.
This year's theme is, "Spirit of
Tomorrow."
In commemorating our nation's
Bicentennial. 4-H prepares for
tomorrow's horizons... horizons
which call for determination and
challenge hone from a strong
national heritage. The Bicentennial
era is an appropriate time to pause
and reflect on this strong heritage
and the accomplishments of the 4-H
movement whose embryo was
forming during the nation's
centennial years and whose
philosophy has reached out to
embrace the young people and
volunteer adults around the world in
spirit of working together to "Learn
by doing."
As the 4-H program continues to
progress, it will be meeting the
challenges of tomorrow with the
same enterprising spirit that has built
the 4-H program to its present level
of success ... currently fulfilling the
needs and aspirations of 7.2 million
youth in citizenship, leadership and
community service activities.
Tomorrow's goals - both personal
goals of character building,
knowledge seeking and skill
development ... and altruistic human
goals of love, understanding and
peace - cart be the goals of all 4-H'ers
individually and collectively.
"4-H "7(i ... Spirit of Tomorrow"
encourages 4-H'ers to set high
standards and to establish realistic,
personal goals as they prepare to
assume the responsibilities of
adulthood. Youth are challenged to
vigourously tackle problems and
concerns, to build a better
tomorrow, by exercising the same
spirit that 4-H has displayed so
abundantly throughout its history.
This week is not only a celebration
for 4-H'ers but also a time when we
like to express our thanks to adults
for their leadership and volunteer
services. There are numerous youths
who cannot participate in 4-H due to
the lack of adult supervision. Any
adult who wishes to give their
services to youth in the community,
or any youth from 9 . 1Q who wishes
to join a 4-H club in the county or to
have a new one started, please
contact tiie Hoke County Extension
Service.
4-H Workshop
Every summer, the 4-H Extension
Service puts on summer workshops
for the young people of Hoke
County. The workshops, organized
by 4-H County leaders and teen
leaders are to help young people who
take part in the workshops. Some of
the workshops are crafts, sewing,
archery, BB gun target shooting,
bicycle safety and swimming.
In August there was an archery
and BB gun contest at the Armory.
The contestants had practice all day
the first day,and the second day was
the day of the contest and prizes
were given. Refreshments were also
served.
Out Of State Trip
Being an out-of-state delegate is a
real privilege to anyone who gets an
opportunity to attend. An
out-of-state delegate is a 4-H'er who
visits another state during their state
meeting or conference. Most of these
meetings last from three to four days
during the summer. At these
meetings 4-H'ers from all over the
state meet, at a college usually, and
have state demonstrations recognize
state project book winners, have
judging contests, and many other
statewide activities.
This past summer I was a delegate
to Maryland. I stated the week-end
with the boy delegate to North
Carolina. He was my host for the
week in Maryland. I felt this an extra
opportunity by staying the week-end
with him, because I got to know an
entire family.
The following Monday we went to
the conference which lasted until
Friday. At the conference we had
classes in different subjects like
public speaking, tennis, self-defense
and beach combing. We had
swimming and other recreation each
evening and an assembly each night.
Contests were held in public
speaking and interviews for trips
out-of-state.
I had a great time the entire week
and met a lot of new friends. I also
learned a lot about the 4-H program
in Maryland and about their
activities, many of which I hope I
can bring to North Carolina and our
county. I can truly say it was one of
the best trips I have ever
experienced.
State Congress
During the week of July 21 - 25, a
group composed of six 4-Hers' and
one agent attended North Carolina
State 4-H Congress on the campus of
North Carolina State University in
Raleigh. We had a really terrific time,
but we also gained valuable
knowledge. One of the nicest parts of
4-H is the friends you can make. At
the district level, I had many friends,
but not at the state level, so this was
a real challenge. At Congress, 1
learned much about 4-H that I had
not known before. I learned who my
state officers were and what they
looked like. It was really amazing to
see how they conducted the
meetings. 1 know it took months of
work to plan and prepare Congress.
One of the nice facets of Congress
was that you became close friends
with the people who came from your
county. The members of our group
were Linda Croft, Bill Barnwell,
Jimmy Turner, Beth Cameron,
Robert Attaway and myself. Out
county was host to John Schmidt,
and out of state delegate from
Maryland, therefore John joined us
most of the lime. When we returned
home, we all took a part of each
other with us.
We grew closer to the people from
our district. It was nice to have
someone that you knew there, as our
friends from the Southcentral
District looked pretty good. We all
supported Linda Peterson and Mary
Landen, who were from area district,
as they ran for state office.
At Congress, we had a class on
cummulative records, rap sessions
with out-of-state delegates,
demonstrations and a variety of
other classes and workshops. Every
night was exciting. We went out to
eat and then we went to Scott's
Pavillion for the evening program.
Every night the program was
different. We had a Bicentennial
dance, a fashion show, a watermelon
feast, a health pageant, election
speeches, lecturers and assorted skits.
The saddest part of the whole
week was going home. We had to say
good-bye to our friends and pack up
our belongings, but one thought
remained firm in our minds. We were
coming back next year!
Citizenship
Citizenship Shortcourse is a
learning and growing experience that
develops one's character as well as
one's knowledge of government.
The major aspect, of course, was
citizenship. A citizen is a person who
belongs to a state, nat on, etc., who
has a certain obligation to do what it
best for it. As 4-H'ers we learned of
our duties as citizens and what was
expected from us as active citizens.
The next aspect was our
government. We had a chance to visit
our Congressmen and representatives
along with other members of the
administration. We were invited in to
look around freely and to ask as
many questions as we wished. This
gave us a chance to hear and see what
was going on and what our officials
were doing to correct or to solve
certain issues. The cordial way we
were invited in and the patience each
person showed us impressed upon us
how efficiently our government is
run and how each person has his own
job to do in solving the problems
which may arise.
Next, maybe not the most
educational but definitely the most
fun, was meeting the other people.
There were ten different states
staying at the National 4-H Center in
Washington, the 4-H'ers were from
all over the states. In putting
together all these people who were
strangers, it more or less forced you
to meet people, which is an
important part of being a citizen -
meeting and getting along with
people.
Citizenship shortcourse is
definitely a trip that should be taken
by every 4-H'er. The knowledge and
improvement of your own character
which you gain makes an
unforgetable week.
Leader Speaks
As the first week in October
approaches and 1 realize that
National 4-H week is here, i think
back to before I made the decision to
become a 4-H Club leader. I found 1
had a little free time and my great
love for young people helped me to
decide. Of course the question
uppermost in my mind was "Can 1
do it?" I'm not very qualified. Well
the answer was, I believe 1 can, and
I'm more than willing to learn, so
with the help of our Hoke County
agents, myself and eight children,
1
started the Antioch Eager Beavers
4-H Club. I found that I had many
parents that I could depend on for
help and I'm very proud to say that
our club in three months now
our club in three months now
numbers 24 children or young people
aged nine to sixteen years.
We meet for our regular meetings
once each month. We also plan group
classes which range from sewing to
gun safety, cooking, canning and
preserving, wood working and nature
hikes to a planned Halloween party.
We have had 100 percent
cooperation and attendance. We have
learned if there is something offered
to these young people they eagerly
accept and participate.
We have so many plans for the
future ? civic, educational and fun.
As a leader of a 4-H group I want
these young people to know the
wonderful opportunities offered by
4-H, and work and take advantage of
these opportunities.
My greatest hope is to be of some
help in helping our future citizens to
know how to take their place in the
future and whatever they endeavor
to do, to do it well.
I want these children to know anil
realize you get out of life what y^u
are willing to put into it. To give of
themselves freely and to be happy.
Finally I'd like to say that if any
parent has any free time at all, and if
you want a future generation to be
proud of, give your time to the
young people. They will love and
accept you for what you do for
them, not your knowledge. Give and
you will receive just a bit of what I
have found with this group.
