Assistant Home Economics Agent
With a new year just around
the corner, now is the time to
evaluate what was accomplished
last year. The following is a
brief resume of the achieve
ments of Chowan 4-H Clubs:
The Chowan 4-H members as
clubs and individuals have made
much progress and improve
ments during the past year.
We feel that one of the high
lights of 1960 was our observ
ance of National 4-H Club Week.
It was a wonderful and most in
formative experience for the
4-H’ers who participated in “tak
ing over” radio station WCDJ for
two days during this week. And
we feel that the 4-H Club pro
gram here in Chowan County is
better understood and may be
appreciated just a little more by
this type of publicity and ob
servance of National 4-H Club
Week.
We have accomplished much
in our community 4-H Clubs.
The Center Hill Junior Club
(which is a faiily new club, just
organized in July, 1959), is grow
ing by leaps and bounds and ac
complishing just as much.
The Center Hill Junior 4-H’crs
have made or helped make lav
ors for the Chowan Hospital pa
tients three times during the
year. Some of the members
took turns at the Center Hill
election voting place and sold
pencils for the Hospital Auxili
ary during the May primaries.
Twelve of these members at
tsended 4-H Camp at Manteo in
June (one-half of the total
4-H’ers going to camp from
Chowan).
Also during June the Junior
4-H ’ers made a house-to-house
canvass of the Center Hill com
munity for funds for the Center
Hilt-Cross Roads Fire Station.
This drive netted S4O for the
Rural Fire District.
Four of the Juniors partici
pated in the county elimination
contests— two members went on
to compete in the district talent
contest.
During July the 4-H’ers enjoy
ed a craft workshop where they
learned to cover coat hangers
with plastic gimp.
The Center Hill 4-H’ers and
leaders made a series of pro
gressive games which were used
at the Chowan Halloween Car
nival and for their own Hal
loween party. These games will
be- used in the community by
various groups for recreation.
The Center Hill Junior Club
sent one dollar and Advance

, National 4-H Club Week.
I The Center Hill' Senior Club
I members made hospital tray
! favors two times during the year.
Three of their members were on
the county and district winning
Farmer Cooperative Demonstrn-,
tion team and attended State
4-H Club Week. These members '
also planned and served the
supper for the October Ruritan
meeting, and made $11.13 for the
club treasury. This club has
added three new members.
The Oak Grove Community!
Club has enrolled nine new
members this past year. Thir-,
teen Oak Grove members par
ticipated in the County Elimina

district contests and two entered

This club had a window exhibit
These club members have also (
during National 4-H Club Week. I
made a series of the progressive
games to be used in the com- .
munity building for community
lecreation. |
The Rocky Hock community
4-H Club has been reorganized j
as of July, 1960, after disbanding |
for about two years due to lack |
of a meeting place. The 4-H’ers j
from Rocky Hock have served j
on several youth committees
within the community develop
ment organization.
There were six school clubs I
in Chowan last year, meeting
monthly with demonstrations
given each month by the Exten
sion agents.
The 4-H Development Fund
organization was set up in Cho
wan this past year. Adults in
le-ested in the 4-H program ,
made up this organiation. A goal

of $l,lOO was set for Chowan
and to date $740 has been sent
to the State 4-H Development
Fund.
The 1960 Chowan 4-H pro
gram was brought to a favorable
end with the State Fair 4-H
booth which we were responsible
for in October. This booth was
entitled “Use the Power of 4-H
Bombs In Community Develop
ment.” Even though it was not
judged as one of the top first
four booths, we were proud of
the display.
We are looking forward to an
other full and prosperous year
in 1961—and we’ll have to work
hard to better our 1960 record
of achievement.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The steadfast light of the
Christ, Truth, will be empha
sized at Christian Science ser
vices Sunday.
The Christmas story to be
read in the Lesson-Sermon en
titled “Christian Science” will
include the following: “Now
when Jesus was born in Bethle
hem of Judaea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, there
came wise men from the east to
Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he
that is born King of the Jews?
for we have seen his star in the
east, and are come to worship
Traci; CnOwAc? neMfi LD. ESESTUJ?. SGR7H C&aazJSA, TnuASDAY. DECEMBER 22, i 960.
.him” (Matt. 2:1,2).
From “Science and Health with
I Key to the Scriptures” by Mary
| Baker Eddy the following will
be read (95:23): “Led by a soli
-1 tary star amid the darkness, the
Magi of old foretold the Messiah
ship of Truth. Is the wise man
' of to-day believed, when he be
holds the light which heralds
Christ’s eternal dawn and des
cribes its effulgence?”
