Citation read with presentation of certificate of meritorious service
to agriculture by North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation, in Winston-Salem on
Feb. 8, 1946
The robot, dream mechanical man of science, is still in the
laboratories and on the drawing boards, but we have with us tonight his
original human counterpart. The scientist wants of the robot, which he has not
yet been able to perfect, a walking, talking, broadcasting, writing family man
with a yen for public service, a man who can go on and on with never any more
pushing than a little oil for his joints.
The State College Agricultural Extension Service has had
such a man for 30 years. This human dynamo is by the record a whole lot of
dynamo, but even more human. A native of South Carolina, born a farm boy and
subsequently a graduate of Clemson College with a degree in agronomy, this man
has created by ability and hard work a farm news service which is recognized as
the best in agricultural circles.
Driving through war years and peace with the same
unfaltering degree of alacrity has won for him a mark of merit on the scrolls
of every farm organization in the South and top spot among Extension editors in
the nation. So, because of his tireless effort and perpetual success in the
field of information, the Farm Bureau is happy to present a certificate of
commendation to Frank Hamilton Jeter, editor of the Extension Service, who with
his charming wife, the former Miss Irene Albert of Atlanta, is our guest
tonight.
