PAGE FOUR What 4-H Club Work Has Meant To Me By EVELYN SMITH Editor’s Note: The following ar ticle was written by Evelyn Smith, of Rocky Hock, a tenth grade stu dent in the Chowan High School. Miss Smith represented Chowan County in the 4-H Club dress revue in Raleigh last week, from which winners were picked for the national 4-H Congress- to be held in Chicago. Club work offers many varied in terests that a rural girl would not otherwise have access to and thus broadens her outlook on life. Club work has taught me the essential factors in the management of a home. Among these factors are: the planning and arrangement of furni ture and equipment for comfort and service to each member of the fam ily; sharing with the household mem bers the financial responsibilities; an appreciation of the beautiful within our lives and our homes; and coop eration with others and sharing du ties which are equally balanced among all' members of the house hold. Home life has been made more en joyable for each member of my fam ily since I entered 4-H Club work. I have learned to recover furniture, remodel it, and rearrange it for the comforts of every member of the home. I have learned to group fur niture for comfort, to give good light ing for work and study, to hang pictures and curtains correctly, and how to passe partout and frame pic tures. The learning of the blending of Colors together and selecting correct colors for rooms of different expo sures has been a great source of hap piness to me. To be able to do this work for myself and for the other members of the family gives me a great deal of pleasure. It has also taught me to think of the comfort of others first and of myself last, thus 1 have learned to be unselfish and to think of others in a helpful way. One of the greatest savings rea lized from club work is that which comes in a financial way. I have been taught how to remodel fete hats, how to change old dresses to j look new, how to select becoming styles and colors for my type and bow to make my own underwear. It is possible to save from 25 cents to a dollar on each garment that I make myself. On September 15, 1934, I entered the Chowan County dress contest and won first place. In this contest I modeled a complete suit of under wear and a dress made by myself. My dress was an excellent lesson in choosing a becoming color, in select ing the proper style and in cutting out a woolen garment; in making bound buttonholes, and in finishing seams in woolen material. My un derwear -was an excellent lesson in .selecting proper material and lace for underwear. It also taught me two seams for undergarments and how to put on lace. I have saved money by having a i garden and using the produce on the ! table while fresh and also by can- j ning the surplus products. Being j ab)e. to can vegetables and fruits has helped our family to have balanced meals not only in the summer but in the winter as well. I have also been shown that in planning a well bal anced diet for the family the most nourishing foods are often the least expensive. The association and work with Other members of the club has taught me the real joy of friendship; how to cooperate with others, and how to divide and balance work so that each can do her best not only in the club work but in the work of the world about us. The social advantages of the club are one of the greatest assets one re ceives from 4-H work. The joy of knowing that we are well groomed, and know how to dress tastefully when we appear in public is one that every club girl is proud of. To be able to appear in public at one’s ease j any time without suffering- any so- ! cial embarrassment is one of the very important achievements of the club. Keeping up with the popular forms of recreation for the entertainment of the young and old of the commu nity is also taught in club work. Social entertainment has been a fea ture of club work which has been en joyed by the entire community. Ex perience given in dramatics in the j club aids in a social way and also in a 1 financial way.

Club work has helped me to achieve social pleasures as well as material blessings. Each new accomplishment has brought added happiness, be cause I have been building a worthy home membership. Through 4-H Club work I have learned the secret of health, happiness and success. By learning to use the 4-H’s (head, heart, hands and health) together I j have learned how to become a better citizen for my home, my community, and my country. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1934. N. C. MOTORISTS PAY HUGE SUM IN TAXES Motorists of North Carolina are bearing aa their direct share of the state’s tax burden, 52% per cent of the entire revenue of the state from tax sources, an analysis of the figures of the state's revenue for the fiscal year 1933-34 reveals. This is levied directly against them as motorists, and does not contain any of the taxes they pay in common with the rest of the citizens of the State. Gasoline taxes are the largest single source of revenue to the State,' this analysis shows, contributing 33.9 per cent of the entire tax revenue. Next in order come motor vehicle registrations at 14.9 per cent, fran chise taxes at 14.4 per cent, income taxes at 13.1 per cent, and the gen- Wiause they have been assured that tab money levied directly against them was to be used for their benefit on the highways of the state,” Mr. J. L. Belote, secretary of the North Carolina Petroleum 'lndustries Com mittee, said in commenting on these figures. “But we had a raid on these funds at the last General Assembly and one million dollars was taken from the highway fund and put into the general fund at the end of the 1934 fiscal year, with another million to follow in 1935. As the gasoline tax was levied for the specific pur pose of building and maintaining our roads in North Carolina, and in view •of. the fact that the State is morally obligated for the road bonds out standing, it, seems eminently unfair and discriminatory against the mo torist that these funds should be di verted to any other purpose. If the State is going to allow the Highway Commission less money for its needs than the taxes for these needs pro ducer then the motorist should re ceive the saving through a reduced gasoline tax.” An analysis of the amounts re ceived by taxes follows: Inheritance taxes $ 421,394.68 License taxes 2,062,469.43 Franchise taxes 6,454,791.59 Income taxes 5,878,014.82 Sales tax 5,532,580.16 Beverage tax 337,607.33 Miscellaneous item 2,296.90 Miscellaneous taxes 754,049.75 Gasoline tax 15,165,220.82 Motor vehicle registra tions 6,683,528.50 I Title registration 121,125.50 Unclassified item 736.9.0 Automotive license taxes 334,234.30 Automotive sales tax 479,120.00 Gasoline inspection fee 516,602.25 Total $44,733,778.99 | OAK GROVE )| V / Miss Louise Nixon has returned home after spending several weeks with her sister, Mrs. John Perry, of Gliden.

This is applied ! at the rate of two ounces of the cop- ' per carbonate to each bushel of seed ! wheat. Be sure, however, that the j carbonate is manufactured especial- < ly for treating seed. The chemical j can be secured at any seed store. ( Use an airtight container when treat- j ing the seed as the dust is poisonous < and must not be inhaled. Seed thus ] treated must be used for seed pur- 1 poses only and must, under no con- ] ditions, be fed to animals or used 1 for milling.
