Members were not just from Freetown but also Wilmot, Carleton Siding and Chelton . Their local director was Allison Profitt . At the Provincial Fall Rally in 1971, Allison was presented with the first "Friend of 4-H" award. He was always ready and willing to judge cattle at exhibitions or 4-H achievement days, and helped many 4-H members to learn the good qualities of a dairy cow and showmanship. Some members of this first club were Elmer Waugh , Roberta Taylor , Hope Jardine , Emmett Maclsaac , Wilbert Wright , Arthur Wright , Fred Lowther , Jesse Burns , Jack Sobey , Mel Sobey and Olive Drummond . In 1943, some Freetown members joined the Bedeque Calf Club which consisted of members from Bedeque to Tryon . Records from 1950 show Freetown members belonging to the Norboro Club. In 1952, Freetown and South Freetown joined as one club. At that time it was known as "The Freetown Calf Club". It has held steady with the Holstein breed but records from 1948 show they had Ayrshires as well. The trend has been toward purebred but a grade calf is permissible. 137
