And 4-H Club boys and girls are finding the happiness that can come
from the investment of the money they have earned in their 4-H projects
in a savings account. Many of these 4-H Clubbers, with an eye to the
future, have found that saving is fun at the Newberry Federal Savings &
Loan Association. They are saving for an education at a college or uni
versity, or for the future, when they plan farms and homes of their own.
We are happy Ito number some of the 791 members of 4-H clubs in
Newberry County among those who have savings accounts with us and
who enjoy the dividends paid by us semi-annually.
Our hats are off to these thrifty and intelligent 4-H Clubbers all the
*
time, and especially during 4-H Club Week, March 7-15.

Local Leaders
Backbone Of
4-H Program
Observance of National 4-H club
week, March 7th to 15th, would
not be complete without proper
recognition of the 27 local club
leaders who have aided this work
in the county, says County Agent
P. B. Ezell.
They are part of a group of
over 1,000 local 4-H club leaders
in the state, and over 300,000 in
the whole country. Many of them
are parents of club members, but
not all. Some serve out of sheer
interest in boys and girls, eager
to help them get ahead, especial
ly during this critical world situa
tion.
Local leaders give freely of
their time, efforts and many to
help further the program in New
berry County, South Carolina and
the Nation. For instance, Mr. and
Mrs. Grady Lee Halfacre of Pros
perity and Mr. and Mrs. Ace
Watkins of Newberry all take a
week away from the farm and
work to serve as local leaders at
Camps.
Mr. Homer Schumpert or
“Uncle Homer” as the boys and
girls all know him takes his jeep
piled high with luggage to Camp
every summer. On the camp
grounds Unce Homer never has a
minute for himself for he is either
showing several boys and girls
how to make plastic braclets,
chains, etc. or maybe talking with
them about Nature Study, pitching
horse shoes, etc. Camp just
wouldn’t be camp without him.
Mrs. R. C. Hunter of the Stoney
Hill section never misses a 4-H
club meeting—helps the girls and
boys with programs and many
times brings treats and favors,
Rikard Services
Held Saturday
At Bachman
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Rebecca
Kinard Rikard, 86, died Thursday
of last week at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. R. C. Williams in
Newberry following several months
of declining heath.
Mrs. Rikard was born in New
berry county, a daughter of the
late Samuel Jefferson and Janie
Isabel Wicker Kinard. She was
the widow of Berry Bartow Rik
ard, who died in 1922. Mrs. Rikard
was a charter member of Bachman
Chapel Lutheran church and of the
missionary society.
Surviving are two sons, A. D.
Rikard, Charleston, and Julian B.
Rikard, Atlanta, Ga.; three daugh
ters, Mrs. T. B. (Viola) Kinard,
Whitmire, Mrs. R. C. (Alberta)
Williams and Mrs. E. L. (Janie)
Nunnery, both of Newberry; one
brother, J. C. Kinard, Newberry;
one sister, Mrs. S. R. Metts, Pros
perity; 29 grandchildren and 14
great-grandchildren.
Three of her children prede
ceased her: Enos Berry Rikard,
Leo Sligh Rikard and Franklin S.
Rikard.
Kuneral services were conduct
ed at 3 p.m. Saturday at Bach
man Chapel Lutheran Church by
the Rev. J. .L. Drafts, the Rev. D.
M. Shull and the Rev. J. W. Tom-
inson. Burial followed in the
churdh cemetery.
Active pallbearers were: Tom
Fellers, Berly Shealy, Henry Rich
ardson, James Taylor, Olin Price,
and Ben Dawkins.
Services Held
Saturday For
J. D. McMeekin
such as candy, cookies, etc. for
the entire group. Just a week
or so ago she made a South Caro
lina Flag which the Stoney Hill
group presented to the school dur
ing a special South Carolina Chap
el Program.
One needs only to take a look
into the 4-H records of Newberry
County and they will find that
many of the outstanding club boys
and girls come from Pomaria. It
isn’t any wonder with the efficient
guidance and thoughtfulness of
Mts. F. C. Hentz and Mrs. G. S.
Dominick, local 4-H club leaders.
In the past two years they have
had two girls to win three state
awards.
Mrs. M. B. Crooks of Newber
ry and St. Phillips and Mr. G. L.
Halfacre of Prosperity certainly
are inspirations to all 4-H Club
members and especially are they
a big hep to the 4-H Council. They
serve as Advisors to this large
rural organization in Newberry
county.
There are just a few of the many
fine things local leaders help 4-H
members with in Newberry coun
ty. Each of thd 27 clubs has an
adult leader who may not be able
to attend camp with them but
helps in many other ways such as
getting up programs, helping with
other routine jobs in the Clubs.
Certainly one of the largest jobs
Newberry 4-H’ers have undertaken
was the Camp Improvement Fund
and I.ocal Leaders were the back
bone of this big drive. Without the
cooperation of local leaders, par
ents, and friends 4-H work would
not progress.

A wealthy rancher from Texas
stormed into a pet shop and de
manded s money back for a big
watch dog he had purchased the
previous week.
“Why that dog is no good; while
we were at church last night,
someone broke in the house and
stole several thousand dollars
worth of silver and jewelry and
the rascal slept all through it,
“exclaimed the angry rancher.
^ “Why the mistake is all yours,
Mister. . . you should have bought
a little rat terrior to wake the big
watch dog up when burglars ar
rive,” the shopkeeper replied.
Not so, though, with a Capital
Life Policy. . . . you don’t have to
buy something else to get complete
protection. We write Life (all
