Firsts: Part 2!
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

By Ron Drum, Statewide 4-H Program Professional\/Associate Director 4-H Resource Development<\/em><\/p>\n

Happy New Year! Wait, I said that already, in Firsts: Part 1<\/a>. So here we go with Part 2!<\/p>\n

All of the 4-H FIRSTS reported in Part 1 were happening in Maine and the darn program still wasn\u2019t even officially called 4-H yet! Some places in the country did, others used Junior Extension Club, 3-H Club, Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club, Young Farmer\u2019s Club, and so forth. By 1915, although Maine was calling them \u201cBoys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Clubs,\u201d we were already using the 4-leaf clover with an \u201cH\u201d on each leaf for an emblem and following the motto \u201cTo Make the Best Better.\u201d In 1919 the Maine Extension newsletter reported that Kansas was using a \u201cdandy\u201d (their word, not mine, although I do agree!) new pledge that began, \u201cI pledge my head to clearer thinking\u2026.\u201d It became official nationally when it was approved by the National 4-H Camp in 1927.<\/p>\n

In 1917, Gertrude Warren<\/strong>, an educator from New York, joined the Extension Service Staff at USDA. She was a proponent of the name \u201c4-H.\u201d In 1918 she purposefully used \u201c4-H\u201d to describe on-going club work in a national Extension publication, the first time it was so used.<\/strong> So, not surprising, when a meeting was held by the USDA Extension staff in Washington, D.C. in the early ’20s to determine just by what name this work WOULD be called, Gertrude Warren said, \u201c4-H Club Work.\u201d Apparently, the discussion became quite heated but Gertrude held her ground. Read more about Gertrude Warren in the National 4-H Hall of Fame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In February 1924 Ms. Warren visited Maine. Yes, she visited MAINE in FEBRUARY! She even stayed here for five days, in FEBRUARY. She spent most of those days meeting with the State 4-H team in Orono headed up by State 4-H Leader Lester H. Shibles. However, while here, in FEBRUARY, she also took in some of the countryside, visiting the Hampden Highlands Willing Workers Club led by Mrs. E. E. Wood. Before she returned to Washington, D.C., she sent a \u201c4-H Club Greeting\u201d to all Maine boys and girls club members through the state newsletter Echoes from Clubdom<\/em>. It began, \u201cIt is a pleasure to send a greeting to the 4-H club boys and girls of the Pine Tree State.\u201d That did it. Maine\u2019s program was pretty much called \u201c4-H\u201d from then on!<\/p>\n

Ms. Warren must have enjoyed her time in Maine because, just for the record, she returned in 1925 to be one of two special guest speakers, the other being Maine Governor Ralph O. Brewster, during the 12th<\/sup> Maine State 4-H Contest. Date it was held? December<\/em> 30, 1925 \u2013 January<\/em> 2, 1926. Maybe it was a warm New Years. It happens! Her message? Work hard because \u201cyou can\u2019t get something for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Communication. It\u2019s important! That\u2019s why, in June of 1919, York County issued the state\u2019s first COUNTY 4-H Newsletter<\/strong>! In his annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, County Ag Ext Agent William. M. Gray reported, \u201c\u2026this year we are issuing once each month from May to December inclusive, a little four-page paper called \u2018The Club Caller.\u2019 This paper is sent to every leader and club member. Its purpose is to keep each one well posted on the things that are going on among other club members in York County\u2026. Already other counties in the state are considering taking up the same thing.\u201d So here is page 1 of Volume 1, number 1 of the York County Club Caller<\/em><\/strong>! But don\u2019t tell anyone. According to the headline, it\u2019s \u201cA SURPRISE\u201d!<\/p>\n

\"Page<\/a><\/p>\n

\"first<\/a>A group of UMaine students who were also former 4-H Members, organized an Orono campus club in 1924 that they called the College 4-H Club. They met for the first time on September 29, 1924 in Lester Shibles\u2019 home. That would be the first Collegiate 4-H Club in Maine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The year 1924 also saw the first delegate from Maine attend a National 4-H Club Congress<\/strong>. Velma Jewett<\/strong> of Head Tide was Maine\u2019s representative on the 1924 New England Delegation, chaperoned by Maine\u2019s Assistant State 4-H Leader, Mrs. Arra Sutton Mixter. Montgomery Ward Company paid the expenses. The December 1930 Club Echoes<\/em>, the newsletter that followed Echoes from Clubdom<\/em>, noted that Velma Jewett became a Home Economics teacher in Ashland, ME.<\/p>\n

National 4-H Conference began as the National 4-H Club Camp<\/strong> in 1927. Maine was present! That first delegation<\/strong> included Norman Hamlin<\/strong>, Turner; Andrew Sawtelle<\/strong>, East Wilton; Lucinda Rich<\/strong>, Charleston; and Lucille Parker<\/strong>, Dover-Foxcroft.<\/p>\n

\"Martha<\/a>With all of this happening in 4-H, I\u2019m sure the County Agricultural Agents were becoming a tad overloaded. Relief came in 1928 when Maine finally hired the first Extension Agents who would focus exclusively on 4\u2011H.<\/strong> Five of them actually: Effie Jones, Kennebec; Evelyn Plummer, Oxford; Martha Corinne Merrill, Penobscot (pictured); Earle T. Blodgett, York; and Kenneth C. \u201cKC\u201d Lovejoy, Waldo. Evelyn Plummer was appointed as Assistant State 4-H Leader 1936-1940. KC went on to serve as the State 4-H Leader 1935 -1963 and then, after he retired in 1963, volunteered as Executive Director for the Pine Tree State 4-H Foundation 1964-1990.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you just have to get away from it all, get yourself above it all. The Beaver 4-H Clubs of Houlton and Ludlow did just that August 8-11, 1930. They were noted in the September edition of the 1930 Club Echoes<\/em> (v8, #3) as being the first Maine 4\u2011H Clubs to climb Mount Katahdin<\/strong>! Twenty-five members, eight guests, and two chaperones were recorded as having made the climb!!<\/p>\n

Sometimes you\u2019ve got to find a way to rise above it all and fly even higher! June of 1931, according to the August edition of the 1931 Club Echoes<\/em> (v14, #2, page 7), saw the first Maine 4-H Club to go for an airplane ride!<\/strong> It was also a first plane ride for all of the passengers!<\/p>\n

Eight members of the Scarborough Boys 4-H Club, two members of the girls club, and leaders Mr. F.H.B. Heald, Mr. Elwood Bessy and George Douglass were all \u201cup in the air\u201d in June. \u2026From the Scarborough airport they were taken for a five-minute ride in a five passenger plane piloted by Lieutenant S.B. Chandler, commander of the airport. The club folks had a chance to see their homes and the surrounding territory from the air.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m thinking it was a crowded plane ride. I\u2019m counting 13 people listed, not including the pilot, as having taken that ride but note that the plane is described as a \u201cfive passenger plane.\u201d Makes me think of MOST of my plane rides! I guess things never change.<\/p>\n

And yes, Mr. Heald is the same F.H.B. Heald recognized as Maine\u2019s first 4-H Volunteer and yes, the club is the one noted to be the first Maine 4-H Club. Crowded or not, I\u2019m sure it was quite an experience; one that took a bit of courage to achieve!<\/p>\n

If anyone has a photo of either of these events, the Katahdin climb or the Scarborough plane ride, I\u2019d LOVE to include it in a future 4-H Fix!!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, since this is Part 2, we\u2019ll end on a SECOND, February 2 that is, 1962. That\u2019s the day the Pine Tree State 4-H Foundation<\/strong>, now known as the Maine 4-H Foundation<\/a>, held its<\/strong> first meeting<\/strong>. Yes, on Ground Hog\u2019s Day, reported to have been the coldest day of that winter! The first president elected by the trustees was Claude Clement<\/strong>, a banker and 4-H supporter from Belfast. Mr. Clement was famous in Maine for establishing the Maine Banker\u2019s Association Calf Project, which awarded purebred heifers, \u201cClement Calves\u201d as they came to be known, each worth approximately $225, to worthy 4-H Members — 75 of them! For that, and his many other philanthropic activities in support of Maine 4-H, Mr. Clement was awarded the National 4-H Distinguished Service Award<\/strong>, which he received during the 1962 National 4\u2011H Congress in Chicago. He was the first Mainer to receive this award<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What were your 4-H Firsts?<\/strong> Tell me about them, and, if granted permission, I might just include your firsts in a future 4-H Fix!<\/p>\n

How about THIS Maine 4-H first? The first Maine 4-H\u2019er to become a national award-winning author!<\/strong> The 4-H Fix<\/a> will tell her story, the story about JoJo Thoreau, on February 10!<\/p>\n
