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. For it is in this way

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

Beverage tax 337,607.33

tions 6,683,528.50

f Timely Questions On I i
Farm Answered
Question: How can seed wheat be
treated to prevent covered smut? 1
Answer: The most successful |
method is to treat the seed with cop- 1
per carbonate dust. 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.

meat use 8 pounds of salt, three
ounces of saltpeter, and three pounds
of brown sugar. Mix these ingredi
ents thoroughly and rub half of the
mixture on the meat. Pack all the
meat in the same vessel, skin side
down except the top layer and put
this skin side up. Repack tin seven
days and rub on the other half of
the mixture. Let meat remain in
cure three days for each pound per
piece and then wash and hang in
smoke house. If the meat is prop
erly prepared before the curing be
gins this method will give nice,
evenly cured meat.
Question: Which i 3 the best breed
of birds to keep: Reds or Rocks?
Answer: If by best you mean the
most profitable there is little to
choose between the two breeds pro
vided the birds of either breed are
well bred and properly managed.
The problem lies in first getting
birds of good breeding and then by
