July 27, 1960 CLOVER LEAVES Page 1

Governor Hodges is greeted by 4-H officers Mary AnnBoles and Bruce Phillips upon his arrival at StateClub Week.

“ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, " says Governor Hodges

We have "Mr. 4-H", Mr. L. R. Harrill. We have “Miss 4-H," Miss Margaret Clark,but Tuesday we capped it all off. The ice cream for the cake. Tuesday we had theHonorable Luther H. Hodges, Governor of North Carolina, for our morning assemblySpeaker. Mr. Hodges was greeted with a standing ovation from 1400 4—H Club members.

Mr. Hodges address was on a subject that all of us should take to heart, BUILDINGBETTER CITIZENS. It' was stated that although North Carolina leads all states in numberof 4-H'Club members by 13, 000, we must never forget to place quality before quantity.The Club members were told to never to st0p saying to themselves, "I'm going to makesomething of myself someday. " While striving for success, we were told never to put moneyand wealth at the head of the list. This, said Gov. Hodges, was the easiest of materialobjects to obtain in life.

Governor Hodges said that the leaders and adults of America are looking for youngpeOple to stand up for what is theirs and defend it with all their brain and brawn, forwhat they are defending is the most precious thing in the world, our freedom. Goingfurther, he said the superiority of the United States, even our very existence, is beingchallanged by the Soviet Union and communism. He stated that in his trip to the U. 5.5. R.last year, every factory, mill, or farm house that he visitied, there was a sign over thedoor written in Russian, saying, ”Beat The Americans! "

We were told that one of the characteristics of the American peeple was to avoidreSponsibility. He cajoled us to continue our education as far as possible, and above all,to learn to accept reSponsibility. '

At the end of the address, Neita Stout presented Governor Hodges with. a gold 4-Hemblem paper weight.

It's a wonder I know themo..Idon't have on my glasses!

He has a beard, and he‘s onlyfourteen!!!

I can't even look at a boy with»out feeling guilty.

That boy‘s been hopping 'roundall day.

I'm give out...I didn't get tobed until 2:30, night or day.

Oh...my feet hurt!!!

I'm not a ”she”, am I?

Seems as tho' some of the coun—ty agents had the joyous job ofchecking shades last night. Wonderif any girls were caught with theirshades up??

A certain agent was overheardsaying, ”I've already told her you'dbe late. As for me my eyes areclosed."

A word about these comments...As has been stated it’s very wiseto remember a closed mouth catchesno flies!!!
