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.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS . . .
(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.
