LIVE THROUGH 4-H
fay Franki* Gram*
During your 4-H Club work you
will be faced with many' projects
which will enable you to find a
better way of doing things.
Some ot these projects are coob
ing, child care, home management
and farming which includes rais
ing of a 4-H steer or calf and im
proving many other 4-H Club
animals.
Through 4-H, club members
study problems of the community,
itate, nation and world. But there
is no other way of explaining the
meaning of 4-H dub and the life'
through 4-H dub than the four

HOW JONES LEARNS THROUGH 4-H
by Lib McDanM '
4-H is a very interesting and
enjoyable way of learning. Many
4-H’ers of Jones County have taken
advantage of tins cbahce of learns
mg ana enjoiytment oy gonug to
4-H summer camp, electric con
gress, national 4-H Club week and
many other programs of learning.
Through 4-H many inhabitants
of Jones County have received part
of the learning they need to be
a house wife, Home Economics
teacher, an Agricultural teacher or
a Home Economics Agent. All of
these jobs are vkry rewarding and
worthwhile.
4-H’ers learn to make clothes,
build things, preserve food, cook,
knit, weave, drive nails straight,
or oven lead groups in recrea
tional affairs.
When a girl makes a dress or
when a boy builds a dog house
they get much more pleasure put
of it for they know it was their
time and patience that went info
the making of their article.
4-fit not only helps the youngsters
it also lends & helping hand to the
older generation. Some 4-H’ers
take as a club project painting
mailboxes to improve^ the looks of
Jones County, others take Home
Ground Beautification as a project
of their own. This also helps to
beautify the community.
Same 4-H Chibs take as a club
project cleaning the shrubs off of
curves and ditch banks. This teach
es the 4-ITer the importance of
safe driving at all times. -
For such jobs as painting mail
boxes, a 4-ITer might get paid as
much as fifty or seventy-five
cents. This teaches him hoar to
earn money for Hie ckdD and jftt
it to use Wisely.
There are many other ways
Jones County has learned through
4-0& but it would take a very long
time to tell about all of them. I
hope this article will encourage
more youngsters of North Carptaa,
as well as Jones County, to join
4-tH and see how muck fun you
win faave learning through 4-H.

Better”. One nrag'
foe best be made
can be done by planning and work
ing towards a given goal. It may
even sound as if we are trying to
botch our wagon to .a star, but
better by living under foe
of this great 4-H Okrb motto.
I wduld like to give an
of a very'poor borne, in which its
members were doing foe best foey
thought possible. One day foe young
daughter was urged to Join foe 4-H
dub a t school. She became inter
ested in its activities. Soon sitae
discovered that through proper
planning and utilizing all avail
able resources around the borne
that it could pe made better With
little additional expense.
In our world today, most people
feel that unless we have money we
are an outcast and nothing can be
made better. Ibis, of. course1, is
untrue and no one realizes that
more than a 4-H member.
As a 4-H Club member I pledge:
My bead to clearer" thinking; my
beat to greater loyalty; my
to larger service; and my
to better living for my dub, my
community ,and my country. With
a pledge this strong and -great,
amiDinous and un
one cannot help but mate the bet
ter best.
