THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1956 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE 4-H Chib Member Gives Account Training Camp (The following account was written by Catherine Sease, president of Newberry Junior Leadership 4-H Club.) Three of the Newberry County -^officers and Mrs. Margaret Cole man left Monday, July 30th for Camp Bob Cooper. The officers who attended this training camp were Jerry Satterwhite, president; Robert Glymph, treasurer, and Catherine Sease, president of the Junior Leadership Club. Each of us looked forward to the week and were certain that there was much that would be learned. Upon arrival at Camp Bob Cooper we registered and were assigned to our cabins. Many new faces could be seen over the camp, but among these faces were the ones of old friends. Soon after registering the new faces were not strange anymore. Everyone seemed as though they had known each other for a long time. It was just like we were one big family always willing to help one another. Monday night a very inspira tional vesper service was conduct ed by Anderson County. Beverly Keadle from Greenwood County gave a wonderful talk on “Youth Looks at the Home.” Then a film entitled “Young Hands” was shown. This film was based on the rural youth work in Aus tralia. Everyone enjoyed the film. It helped us to feel close bo the 4-H club members in Austra lia. Miss Julia Post, head of the department of Physical Education at Winthrop College, conducted a most enjoyable “Get Acquainted Party.” Tuesday morning everyone was up early and ready for a good days work. We met in an assem bly and were .told that we could attend any three of the five classes that were offered. From the following topics we made our choice: “Young People’s Part in tlje Community Program Projec tion and Community Development Program”; “Junior Leadership”; “Careers in the Fields of Agricul ture”; “Careers in the Fields of Home Economics”; and “Recrea tion”. It was suggested that our delegates attend different classes so that there would be a variety of information to carry home. Everyone enjoyed their first training group. We all met again for another assembly and during this time a panel discussed “Ac complishment of County 4-H Councils.” This was led by Miss Georgia Taylor, State Girls’ 4-H Club agent. One of the represen tatives from Newberry took part on this panel. After we had en joyed a wonderful meal and had a little rest we were ready to at tend our second training group. After the training groups were closed we all enjoyed the recrea tion and swimming. Each 4-H club member took part in some type of recreation. After supper we again assembled for our eve ning program. Vespers were conducted by Berkely County 4-H Council officers. After vespers Pauline Gramling and Veberly Keadle, delegates to National 4-H Club Camp, gave a very interest ing talk on “The Twenty-Fifth National 4-H Club Camp.” Rec reation was again enjoyed by all. A group that was not quite so eager to get up on Wednesday morning started out on the days’ program rather dreary. We all attended our last training group for the week. It seemed that the last group was always the most interesting. In our assembly Billy Dubard spoke to us on “Faith in God—An Outgrowth of 4-H Club Work,” At this time we all wel comed the thought of a good lunch- After lunch we had our rest period as before and this time it was welcomed by every one. The next event was the most important of all to many excited people. It was the nomination of those who would run as our State Council Officers. On Tuesday morning it was decided that we would have a report* from each training group. At this time we heard the report from the train ing groups, “Careers in the Fields of Agriculture and Home Eco nomics.” Catherine Sease and Jerry Satterwhite served as re porter for these panels. In our evening program the vespers were conducted by Saluda County. Then came the campaign speeches of those running for State Council officer. A very educational movie was shown after the speeches. It was entitled “1955 4-H Club Congress.” This picture was bas ed on the activities of 4-H Con gress. It made each one of us want to work harder to achieve our goals. We felt that our most important motto at that time was to “Make the Best Better” and that would always be bur goal. A report was then given by the training group on recreation. The reports from the training groups called “Young People’s Part in the Program Projection and Community Development Pro grams” and “Junior Leadership”, were given on Thursday morning. A most inspiring citizen service was conducted by the Rev. F. S. James, pastor of the Bethel Meth odist Church in Charleston. He was also Department Commander of the South Carolina American Legion. Elections of officers was the next thing on the program. After lunch a business session was held. The reports of the president and treasurer were given. During the evening service Catherine Sease helped with a meditation period conducted by Carolyn Crooks, Camp Music Di rector. We were then given a talk on “Opportunities Ahead” by Mrs. T. 0. Bowen, Sumter County Agent. Each one of us enjoyed this very much. Our goals for 1956 were presented and adopted at this time. Then the awards were presented to the different counties. We were happy to learn that Newberry was placed in the blue award group. A summary of the week’s program was present ed to the council by different 4-H club members. To close the State Council Camp the officers for 1956 were installed. It was a tir ed group of 4-H club members that went back to their cabins on Thursday night. The three district meetings were conducted on Friday morn ing. During the Piedmont District 4-H Club meeting a panel dis cussed “How 4-H Club Work Helps Improve Family and Co im munity Living.” Catherine Sease, Newberry County, participated on this panel. Later m the program there was a group discussion “What Every Good Council Offi cer Should Know About Council Work.” Robert Glymph, Newberry County, served as chairman of one of the five groups. Miss Geor gia Taylor spoke to us on “Plan ning Ahead for Our 4-H Council Year.” The business session was then called to order and in this we adopted our district goals and also elected district officers for 1956. Robert Glymph from New berry County was elected as re porter for the Piedmont District. Our new officers were then in stalled b ythe 1955 officers. The meeting was then adjourned. We all said good-bye to our many old and new friends and each of us left with this thought in our minds “To Make the Best Better.” We can truly say that we had a most enjoyable week. Each one of us has found the real spirit of 4-H club work. Itwaseverywhere we looked and we were all glad to be a part of our wonderful 4-H club. l DO YOU KNOW— That even a small family can have $30,000 to $70,000 of Insured Sav ings in Newberry Federal?

(Continued from page two) Russian physicists seem to ‘know just about everything in their field that has been printed in the Western World.' These are the U.S. physicists’ major mpressions of what’s happening in Soviet science: A decision has been made at the top to spare neither money nor men to gain scientific dominance in high-energy physics, the base for all atomic energy applications. The Soviet education system, far more rigorous than that in this country, pushes the best students into science. Rus sian engineering and technical know-how is far more ad vanced than many Americans realize. U. S. scientific visi tors to Russia these days detect an air of scientific ferment and enthusiastic competition with this country in research. These men and 10 fellow-physicists spent 16 days in the Soviet Union last month. They agree that the finest So viet facilities are i concentrated in the Moscow area, where their conference was held. The electronic and other equip ment they saw in laboratories was first-class. Money has been no object in building and .equipping the laboratories. And experimental equipment, including cyclotrons or atom- smashers, is being shipped to various Soviet satellite na tions. What does this evidence of progress in Russia’s theo retical research mean to Americans? One of the four phy sicists expresses it this way: “It’s one sign of national strength. They are building a technical economy from the top down. Very soon they may be going into advanced methods of producing consumer goods. They may,*very sud denly, come up with an economy that can produce a flood of material things.” Lack of ordinary consumer goods and comforts has long been considered a major Weakness in the Sovet system. It is generally believed a change in philosophy toward giving the Soviet worker a chance for a better life, came with the end of Stalin’s reign.” The only proper course f on the South is to declare ijfcs in dependence of any and all political affiliation. Let us be free to choose; and may we “quit” ourselves like men, as David admonished Solomon. You recall? “I go the way of all the earth; be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man.” Manliness was enjoined by Samuel, as you remem ber: “Be strong and quit yourselves like men.” We can derive fresh strength from The Book; from it our fathers drew strength and inspiration. The Book was the cornerstone of this great nation. AT CARPENTER’S Mrs. R. L. Longsnore Has ac cepted a position at Carpenter’s on the second floor. She began her duties there Monday morning. Mrs. Longshore moved from Clin ton to Newberry last week and is making her home at 1328 Col lege street. Who are the owners of America? For a long time it seemed that a few men of millions owned everything. We think of John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie—and others as owners of this great nation. Well, here is what a sur vey shows: “The New York Stock Exchange estimates that the num ber of stockholders in the U. S. now totals 8,630,000, up 33 percent from some 6,490,000 shareholders in the U. S. in 1952. Keith Funston, Exchange president, announced the latest figure following a nationwide ‘census of shareown ers’ based on the records, of the country’s 4,600 publicly- owned corporations. Since the end of 1954, the Exchange has been roughly estimating the number of U. S. stock holders at 7,500,000.” To sum it up: “8.6 million equals $350 billion. How many stockholders in publicly-owned corporations? 8.6 million. How rich is the average investor? Income under $7,500 a year. How old is the average investor? About 48. Where does he live ? In a city of 25,000. How many women own stock? Some 4.5 million—almost 52 percent. j What is the biggest single group of investors? House wives—34.2 percent. I think frequently of our biggest South Carolina corpora tion, The South Carolina Electric and Gas Co. This great company is owned by more than thirty thousand stockhold ers, as Irecall, and many own as little as fifteen shares. In other words a great multitude of small investors, teachers, preachers, farmers, clerks, mechanics, and housewives, tak en together, own a great part in that enterprise. As a mere man I venture to suggest that what the wo men own they really own; whereas the average man’s hold ings are probably under the spiritual control of the la dies, eh? Let us take a good look at any man who may deny this and strut about proclaiming his independence.
