DAY NOV. STH
Accomplishments Being Told
By All Clubs in All Parts
of United States
ONE DAY EACH YEAR

This Saturday, November 8th, is
National 4-H Achievement Day.
Each year a day is set aside dur
ing which All clubs all over the
United States make known the

this rule. A short account of the
clubs progress is related to you in
the remaining part of this story.
AS is the custom, the election of
officers took place in November,
1851, with Jimmie Haas landing
the presidential post. Contests
played the biggest part in the in
dividual members advancement.
AS proof of this statement, the
club reveals that it placed first in
no less than six contests. One
member, Ronnie Stevens, won four
of these contests himself. Among
his conquests were the county Re-
porters' Contest, state Reporters
Contest, New Castle County Boy
Public Speaking Contest winner,
All Short Course Boy Good House
keeping Contest winner, and the
county Vegetable Judging winner
at the Kent-Sussex Fair. Gerald
Heinold placed first in the Holstein
dairy calf division at the county
Achievement Fair, while Bobby
Reed won scholarship to the 1858
All Short Course by placing third
in the vegetable judging at the Fair
last July. AS group, the County
Line Club was the winner of the
county Gate Sign Contest held last
spring. They had 100 percent par
ticipation in this project. The club
decorated a window in the Golden
Pharmacy in observance of All
Club Week in March, 1852. A dis
play was also arranged in the local
high school. The club has always
been well represented in all county
and state social events. Three
members attended the All Short
Course in June, 1852, while seven
enjoyed the weeks stay at State
All Camp in August, 1852. Eight
CT members made the county trip
to Washington, D. c., in October
and all members plan to attend the
county Achievement Banquet to
be held in December. Club mem
bers have also enjoyed the club af-
fairs such as the picnics, hayrides
outdoor meetings, parties, treasure
hunts. On the Embarrassing side Of
the picture, the club has agair
made great progress. Among the
plans used to enlarge their treas.
ury were scrap-drive, turkey
chance, bakes, planting trees, ant
selling of Christmas cards. A wei
planned educational program was
presented at each monthly meet
ing by previously selected com
mittee. Recreation was a greatly
improved subject this past year as
chairman was selected to plar
ahead. A club paper, '"The County
Line News, has been organized
and is being published under the
direction of the reporter. 1t is &
monthly publication. Summing i
all up, 1852 has ben prosperou:
