The spotlight is on youth this •week as the world’s largest rural youth organization—the 4-H clubs —observes National 4-H Achievement Week,............
The observances began November 4 and are scheduled to last through November 12.
Club members number nearly 2,000,000, of which some 53,000 are in Virginia. The enrollment this year in Virginia has shown a substantial increase—about 3,000—over last year.
Dr. W. E. Skelton, state club agent at V.P.I., said general purposes of Achievement Week are to:
Make a report to the nation on 1950’s accomplishments.
See that parents understand what youth is doing through club work.
Help 4-H members develop their 1951 plans.
Emphasize opportunities afforded rural young people through 4-H clubs. “Earn—Save—Serve,” the theme of the National 4-H thrift program also will be featured on achievement week programs in Virginia, Dr. Skelton said.
The program is designated to emphasize the thrift factor already included in the 4-H program. Some of the things club members are urged to do are to invest in U. S. savings bonds, buy life insurance, and establish savings accounts in local banks.
