reviews 1950 4-H work below:
The Carteret County 4-H Live
stock Improvement association
held its first directors meeting
Feb. 27. 1950 to make plans for a
Pig and Calf chain. The 4-H Pig
chain was started March 10, 1950
when the Cooperative Livestock
market at New Bern gave Carteret
county a pure bred Hampshire
boar. Two grade Jersey heifers
were given to the association by
Johnny Oglesby and Grady Willis,
both Carteret county dairymen.
Donations were given by various
business establishments for the
purchase of three purebred Duroc
and five Hampshire gilts. Eight
purebred Guernsey heifers and one
bull were purchased for the Calf
chain.
These pigs and calves were giv
en to 4-H boys selected by the 4-H
Livestock Improvement association
directors.

The Carteret County Calf chain
entered the calf show at Wilson.
N. C. and won a total of $78 in
cash prizes. In October the South
eastern Junior Dairy Calf show
was entered and the boys again
won $78.
The Beaufort and Newport 4-H
clubs entered exhibits at the Car
teret county fair. The theme of
the Beaufort exhibit was "Be Care
ful." Some of the safety measures
that farm people can take to pre
vent accidents were illustrated.

We want to think of National
4-H Week as a springboard for the
beginning of the new year's ac
tivities and as a time for the set
ting of the pattern for the year'*
work. We want to re<tf>gnize the
need to adjust our program to the
economic, social, physical, and
spiritual needs of our young peo
ple. the community and the needs
of their nation, as is in keeping
with our club pledge. This can be
realized only through the whole
hearted cooperation of the parents,
teachers, business, and profession
al men and the entire community.
