Meigs County 4-H Club Work Advances Across Locations
Meigs County 4-H clubs are launching new activities with former leaders returning to supervise. Ward Windon leads the Rock Springs clothing club for a sixth year, while Helen Emrick runs Reedville’s oldest club and Miss Warriet McClintock heads Letart’s first year. A new clothing club forms at School Lorin and Columbia Township under Mrs. Nannie Radcliffe and Mrs. Os Cooper. A sheep club begins at Hemlock Grove led by Porter Midkiff, with Donald Amos organizing a club at Dexter. Letart’s potato group gains Lawrence Roush as assistant leader and president, Portland clubs see long-term leadership, and plans expand across Dexter, Minersville, and Chester. All clubs push toward the county fair exhibit, with a county club camp in August and a June 6 conference at Pomeroy for guidance. Enrollment nears 200, and poultry work seeks more cooperative effort and standardized breeding across the region.
