PAGE EIGHT TIK PILOT—Souilier& Pines. North Carolina FRIDAY. MAY 28. 1954 Moore HDC Women Are Self Reliant, Efficient, Versatile, Reports Show The varied activities and inter-♦ ests of the Home Demonstration Clubs of Moore County are report ed in notes from the clubs reach ing The Pilot through the office of Miss Flora McDonald, county home agent. Pineblufit Club Mrs. Brady Brooks of the Pine- bluff club reports that the Pine- bluff Club has put many hours of hard work on the community playground there — starting in 1949, making most of their funds through occasional “pot luck sup pers” that have become an institu tion in the town. The Pinebluff Fire Department has worked closely with the Home Demonstration Club, Mrs. Brooks reports, installing equipment and doing other heavy work and spon soring a fund raising drive. Last fall the firemen built and equip ped two shuffleboard courts. Pre viously made or installed were a tennis court, basketball court, ^ swings, see-saws and a slide. Over $1,000 has been spent on the project within the past four years. A fund has now been started for a skating rink at the playground. Springfield Club Mrs. Walter Kelly of the Spring- field Club finds much satisfaction from working with seedlings and cuttings and says she has rooted hundreds of them. She likes to look over the young plants and remember where and from whom she got them. She has tiny camellia plants she raised from seeds she gather ed from a bush last fall and placed in a pint jar filled with peat moss and kept damp in a dark place. When the seeds sprouted in about three months she planted them in a box of sand mixed with peat moss to stay until warm weather permitted planting them in the open. The plants will be a year ahead of the ones planted outside at the same time, Mrs. Kelly points out. Mrs. Will Fisher of the Spring- field Club reports that her hus band killed two red foxes, one of which they are having mounted for display in theiy home and one of which she had made into a stole. Bethlehem Club Mrs. A. L. Ring of the Bethle hem club said that she was so in need of a kitchen cabinet in her new home that she gathered up old boards and nails left from other buildings and set about building one with only a saw and a hammer. She writes: “I piade my cabinet five feet long and 20 inches wide with a splash board three inches high. I needed some drawers too, so I di vided the space in this way: two storage sections, each with double doors, and three drawers above the storage sections. The middle drawer is divided into sections for my kitcheh tools and cutlery. One drawer is for towels, the oth er for other linen. “After I made the frame and boarded it up, I cove^'ed the front of the drawers with ply board and made the doors of ply board. Then I painted the cabinet gray to match the rug and table top. It is trimmed with red to go with the decorative vases and place mats. I added door handles and drawer pulls and covered the top and splash board with gray and red linoleum. I have enjoyed using my new cabinet very much.” Rainbow Club Mrs. Mary Bailey of the Rain bow Club has also been busy with saw and hammer making things. She reports that she made a night stand from an apple box, mount ed on pieces of two by fours at either end, with a table top ex tending three inches at each end, made from scrap lumber. The cabinet was given one coat of flat paint and another of enam el and the top was covered with matching linoleum. A flounce can be added to hide the contents and cup hooks can be added to either side for hanging small brushes, if the table is used in a bathroom. Mosses Give Barbelcue Supper Complimenting D.rs.
