I Pledge My Heart To Greater Loyalty’ The Heart-H is to receive special attention by 4-H groups repre senting over a million members from every state in the Union on May 18th which has been desig nated as Rural Sunday. It is well known that the 4-H Club program Is fundamentally built upon eco nomics—home making, personal improvement, and wise farm prac tices. It is like the adult Exten sion program in this feature. This greatly involves the Head, the hands, and the Health. The Heart-H is more intangible in its part of the 4-H activities and re sults. Perhaps there are a great many people who do not know that club members, more often than not, include a brief devotional period in their monthly meetings. Ministers are invited to conduct j these periods for county and State j programs, and one of the most v impressive of the summer camp | activities is vesper service each, evening in which member and leader campers all take part. “I pledge my heart” is one of the four parts of the National 4-H j Club Pledge. “My head to clearer thinking” is another and very im portant part in a country where one’s mind has opportunity for growth and expression in thought and in action. It is immediately worthwhile, too, in 4-H and other youth planning, as plans must be made ahead and goals set if achievement is to follow. “My hands to larger service”, a third determination in the pledge, is said by members with hands reaching forward. This is a char acteristic gesture in willingness and readiness to serve one’s self, one’s family, and one’s community. “My health to better living” ends the pledge, and nothing has been heard and seen in print for several months more than “health for National Defense.” We must hear, too, of the other National Defense measures; but for true permanent democratic defense, examine these words of George W. Peavy, President Emeritus of Oregon State College. He is WALTER T. STROM On the West corner of Main Street and Route 43 Phone 40J McCormick, S. C. quoted in the National 4-H Club News for March: “The 4-H Club program deals with youth, with citizens in the making. You must think, not so much of marching men, of tanks and artillery, of battleships and submarines, or airplanes and bombs, as of boys and girls, morally and spiritually prepared for the responsibilities of citizenship, five or ten years from now.” Training the head to think more clearly, the hands to be more skillful and serviceable, the health for better living, has significant bearing upon the background of children today and upon the personality, the care, the security of the same children and young people tomorrow. But training the “heart to be more loyal” is most significant since the thinking, the service, and better living must be directed with inner purpose. Thus a personality is first to be achieved which later can achieve civic good. All Extension Workers with pur poseful goals realize the impor tance of this inner development of sincerity, loyalty, and sympathy in club members, and try to use situations toward these permanent results in Christian citizenship. Mr. M. L. Wilson, Director of Extension Service, U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, has set a fine example in offering the fourteen page folder, “Observance of Rural Life Sunday by 4-H Clubs” to Exten sion and church workers free on request. It is hoped this will be written for and used widely, es pecially in rural churches over the State. Extension agents, local leaders, 4-H members, and their parents will wish to work es pecially with ministers before that day to make Rural Sunday a great success. Emphatic approval of Rural Life Sunday, May 18, and need :’or spiritual strength, as expressed by Director Wilson in the Foreword of this booklet, is a worthy mes sage for every rural church and home in .America: “Individuals and nations are made strong and invincible through their beliefs and ideals, and the institutions they cherish. In this year of National crisis, therefore, it seems particularly appropriate to encourage the 4-H Clubs in response to a request by many outstanding national lead ers, to unite in the observance of Rural Life Sunday. The suggested theme of the program for its ob servance is “The Family and Democracy.’ This program seeks to develop a strong family unity and alert citizenry through co operation in various activities that aid in the development of a happy, satisfying home and community life. “At no previous time has it been so apparent as now that it will he the spiritual strength of our peo ple that will determine the destiny of this Nation, which to date has experienced the greatest develop ment of any country in history and within the amazingly short period of 300 years. Much of thi; spiritual strength will be attained through home and community activities that provide those es sentials most conducive to the moral and spiritual development of each member of the family. Therefore, it seems very fitting in the observance of Rural Life Sun day that the attention of 4-H Club members be focused on those practical things that each can do in becoming a good citizen and a defender of the home life of this Nation.” MatUda Bell, Co.
