Achievement Program Is Pronounced Success

An outstanding county-wide 4-H Club Achievement Program was held at Polson last Saturday evening by the twenty-three clubs of Lake county in connection with the Lake County Kiwanis Club.

Officers elected among the 4-H club members at the afternoon session were: John Beck, president; Dorothy Mosley and Margaret Dellwo, vice-presidents; Florence Boice, secretary; Evelyn Jager, treasurer; Katherine Sandberg and Fern Meehan, song and yell leaders; John Kelley and Delbert Palmer, sergeants-at-arms. These officers were installed as part of the evening program. Local leaders gave a brief report of the activities of their clubs during the year and received a beautiful certificate of honor and leadership pins from the extension service for the work they did in leadership. Some leaders received certificates covering six years of work. This is the first time local leaders in Lake county received such awards.

One hundred eighty-eight club members received certificates, gold seals and 4-H club pins according to a new system of distributing awards. Eight clubs amounting to 33 per cent of those organized this year received special mention because the 103 members enrolled in these clubs completed 100 per cent. These clubs were the Busy Bee Clothing club of Charlo, Early Riser Breakfast club of Ronan, Lakeview Dinner club of Polson, Proctor Pep club of Proctor. The Charlo Rainbow club of Charlo, and the Willing Workers club of Polson. The Round Butte Future Stockmen and the Peppy Ridgeway Workers also completed 100 per cent.

The beautiful candle-lighting service in which more than 100 boys and girls took part was put on in the evening just before movies were shown that were taken in the county of 4-H club people and Kiwanis businessmen. A particularly interesting and exciting movie of the Helmvillerodeo furnished by Walter McLeod of Missoula was also shown for those present.

At the close of the meeting games were played, with all taking part, and refreshments served by the Kiwanis club.
