Outstanding 4-H Member Tells Of Her Work By SADIE L. HARRIS Beaufort Senior 4-H Club "There is a little work in all play and a little play in all work." I find this old saying very true in 4 H Club Work. In my five years with the 4-H Club, there has been a great deal of work as well as play. My 4-H life began back in 1949. I was only 13 years old, but I knew then that I would learn to love 4-H and work to improve it in my school and county. In the sum mer of my first year, 1 attended camp at White Lake. To top this wonderful experience, I was presented with the "Best Housekeeping Award" for girli at the close of the week. ' You can imagine how happy I was; my first year in the club and I had ?un an award The next year there was a ruling in the school that only high school students could be in the 4-H Club, thus. I was counted out that year. However, you can bet your life that the next year, when I waa a fresh man, I rejoined. This year 1950-51, I was elected vice-president of my local club. This gave me the oppor tunity to be a member of the Coun ty Council. I won the County Dress Revue, which gave me the privilege of being in the State Dress Revue in Raleigh. This proved to be one of the highlights of my work. The next year, 1951-52, I was elected president of my local club and the County Council. These of fices gave me a keener feeling of responsibility. That year, I won second place in the County Dress Revue and waa county winner in Clothing and Frozen Foods. Last year, 1952-53, I was re-elect ed president of my local dub and the County Council. This partic ular year proved to be my most profitable year. I won four county honors. They are as follows: Fro zen Foods. Food Conservation, Girl's Records and Achievement. I am proud of all my honors, but See 4-H LIFE, Page ?, Section 2 Ray Cummins, Morehead, Applies For Permit to Put Up Radio Station Mrs. C. E. Paden Soys $200 Received To Put Up Fence Mrs. C. E.
