WILCOX President The Conservation and Develop ment Advertising Department, un der the leadership of Governor Terry Sanford, prepared a one minute transcription describing the outstanding attractions in our State, which was sent to every radio station in the state with a request for them to use during the season. The transcription described two of the three state's outdoor dramas, and left out any mention of "Horn in the West" This office noted the error through the fine cooper ation of our local radio station. The matter was immediately handled with the Governor's office, and they assured it was an oversight and that every effort would be made to cofrect. We have requested them to send out another release to the radio stations calling attention to our drama. A little later releases will be made to out of the state radio sta tions and television stations, which will have reference to our drama. Thanks for the many friends who helped in getting this corrected.

We have designed a new poster for the boards to promote Boone and "Horn In the West." Majority of these outdoor agen cies have contributed free space on these boards during July and August. This is the widest outdoor billboard advertising this area has ever had. This should do much to increase our attendance.

Dairy Products Second In List Of Foods Consumed Dairy products ranked second on the list of foods consumed by the average American last year. So it's not surprising that well over 230,000 young cooks whipped up tasty dairy dishes as part of the 4-H foods project. These food specialists are 4-H Club members enrolled in a pro gram which teaches how to de monstrate the making of nutriti ous, appetizing and attractive meals, snacks, drinks, salads and the like from dairy products. The North Carolina 4-H girls are now in the process of presenting dairy food demonstrations in dis trict competition. The district win ners will come to Raleigh in July and participate in the state con test during State 4-H Club Week. Last year an Iredell County 4 H'er, who had been singing the praises of dairy foods for six years, was awarded a $400 scholar ship at National 4-H Club Congress for her accomplishments in the dairy foods program. Karol White's demonstration, "Tune Up Your Breakfast With Milk," was presented to various groups 44 times.
