Hall in Richmond the evening of our departure from the county. The Grange Hall was filled with happy folks?young and old ? for the party that would bid us good-, bye. It had been a wonderful week and it came to an end almost too quickly. Local club members were j asked to give a demonstration of our brand of dancing. The "pec uliar" shuffle of fhe youngsters1 was very different from the easy I folk-dance style of the Yankee youngsters. A representative of the Ted Shawn School of Dance which is located nearby came to the party. A few of the Haywood 4-H'ers had visited the interesting spot at Jacob's Pillow where Jose Lamone was doing modernistic dancing. Many dancers from all parts of the United States flock to Jacob's Pil low every summer to study differ ent types of dancing. Many of the students from the school are danc ing, in various cities of the world. We left Pittsfield, the county seat of Berkshire County, on Wed nesday morning and traveled by bus to Amherst, the location of Amherst College (which Calvin Cooledge attended) and the Uni versity of Massachusetts. The 4-H club members from all fourteen counties in the state were holding demonstration the day we were there. (Ironically, the girls witnessed a beautiful demonstra-' tion on bread making?yeast bread .?when no one had seen or eaten any hot bread in the entire week.) After lunch in the college dining hall we were invited to the as sembly of all club members on the campus. Our hearts beat a bit fast er and we felt a big thrill of pride as those Massachusetts boys and girls (an auditorium full of them) ?sang "Dixie" for us. What a gracious welcome! In return, Ann Cathey sang "Red, Red Robin"; Nancy Noland entertained with "Frankie and Johnnie"; and Weaver Hipps con cluded our part on the program with "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi". They were mots appreciative of our entertainment. To welcome us was Jesse James, a former assistant to Mr. Harrell in 4-H work in North Carolina. He asked about many people in Waynesville and seemed to remem ber pleasantly his visits to Camp Schaub. Mr. James is now at the head of 4-H work in Middlesex County where his state leader re ports he is doing a magnificent job. After a night in the college dor mitories and an early breakfast, we boarded the Smoky Mountain Trailways bus for home. The trip brought us through the Connecti cut Valley where farming is done on a large scale. Of particular in terest was the tohacco being grown under canvas. The following night we spent in Washington, D. C at the Potomac ! Motor Court. We aVose earl> the next morning to tour Washington on our own. We visited the airport where planes were unloading and ! loading all the time. The huge | transatlantic ones particulraly at tracted attention. After the trip to the airport we got into line to visit the White House. Throngs of people were I milling into the President's house and we felt proud to be in the building which we had heard about since we started learning history. Then there was a visit to the Lincoln Memorial. Time did not permit our staying long anywhere, but as we drove through the city other places were pointed out? the Capitol, Washington Monu ment, Treasury Building, and many others. We ate lunch at one of the Hot Shoppes, picked up Jimmie Camp bell who had left the group to at tend to some business in Washing ton, and started south *again. The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia at tracted much attention as we sped along. The night was spent in Roanoke, Va., at Travel Town Motor Court?a beautiful spot There seemed to be an exhilera tion in the atmosphere the follow ing day?the last day on the trip. The breakfast was truly wonderful ?altogether homelike. We came through Bristol, Johnson City, and Ashtville. When the sign reading i "North Carolina State Line" canie I into view, every one spontaneous ly Started singing "The Old North | State". Then there was excitement in the air! Miss Childers and Miss Rhinehart became reporters and interviewed every passenger on ? the bus with this question: "What | was the highlight of your trip?" The answers were varied as the travelers candidly gave their an swers. A happy, but not-too-tired-group, was surely glad to see their parents | and friends waiting for them at the Court House around six o'clock. Bob Winchester, a Mountaineer photographer, was waiting to get a picture. Then the group of truv i elers scattered, happy in the knowl edge that they had had two weeks' vacation in which they had learned many things. iMr. Jonathan Woody j had told us before We left that it ; would be equivalent to a half year ! in college.) NOTK: Mr. Woody had prom ised $30 each to the boy and girl who were voted the best sporty the best behaved, and the best rep resentatives of Haywood County to i the Berkshires. The voting was to lie done by the 4-H'ers therfrelves. : As we neared home, a meeting was held, and the proposition discussed. ! It seemed that no single one qual i ified; everyone did! The group had been so well behaved, so free from ! complaints, so cooperative with the leaders and with each other, that no one would dare nominate a single member for the award! Tardy Twosome ENID, Okla. (AP> ? Mrs. Ed Smith had the last laugh on her husband. She let her driver's license ex pire May 1 and remembered it a couple of weeks later. Her husband reprimanded her saying: "There's no excuse for that." Jhen?you guessed it ? Smith | checked his own driver's license and discovered it had expired a year before. LAFF - A ?

Nease, form erly of Charlotte, who is now exec utive secretary of the jurisdiction al council with headquarters in At lanta. Ga Dr. Nease helped organize the group in 1946 in order that the system of annual conference re ports and journals might be uni fied. and the members could ex change information. He was voted an honorary member of the group last week. A guest at the meeting was Dr. Albi rt C. Hoover, Chicago, general | I statistician of the Methodist j I Church.
