Hats, bags and other accessor ies am designed, too, at a considerable savings. Evidence that 4-H’era do acquire a working knowledge and skill in dress making is the fact that in 1949 more i than two million garments were made ib ysome 691,000 club members. An other important phase as the clothing program is learning how to remodel j out-of-date- dresses and coats. Many daughters stretch the family budget by making over apparel for youngr brothers and sisters. In addition to these accomplish ments, members have a chance to earn ; recognition for outstanding achieve ments in clothing work. The Spool Cotton Company, sponsor of the pro gram, provided scholarship awards of S3OO each to the 12 top ranking girls in the nation; an all-expense trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago for State champion; and gold medals for many county winners. The 1949 state and national award i went to Evelyn Waugh, of White Plains. County medals were present- , ed to 76 girls. The program is conducted under the supervision of the Cooperative Exten sion Service.

The work will be completed in a short time. Films 'have been filed in a small closet in the back hall in pigeon holes prepared some months ago. This closet is now so full of films and so crowded that it is extremely difficult 'to file films. A new system of filing will be started as soon as the quar ters are ready and new racks built.

A nurse is on duty everyday at the Health Center and films are made everyday. Peoule are urged, however, not to come for X-rays Friday afternoon due to the I Cancer Clinic. 'Since everyone 15 years of age and above in the Health District had an opportunity to have an X-ray, all persons except follow-up films ‘ from the survey and known cases will be expected to pay SI.OO per film to cover cost of the film.

Eastern Farmers Plan Raise Christmas Trees Raising red cedars for Christmas trees is becoming increasingly popular among Eastern Carolina farmers, ac cording to W. G. Kelley, forestry > specialist for the State College Exten. ■ si on Service. * Mr. Kelley states that a large num ber of veteran farm trainees in that area are interested in raising the red cedars. Although the State Nursery has exhausted its supply of cedar seedlings for this year, many of the veterans are planning to get their or ders in early next year, the specialist said. In most cases the veterans will plant the trees four by four feet apart, setting approximately 2,000 per acre. By fertilizing and cultivating carefully, they hope to have Christmas trees ready for market in three years. By selling the trees two or three months before Christmas on a contract 1 basis, they hope to dispose of all the Diamonds Watches Jewelry Forehand Jewelers THE DIAMOND STORE OF EDENTON USE YOUR CREDIT PAY THE EASY WA Y NEXT TO BELK-TYLER’S EDENTON, N.

V: i \0 TmkJ I \ A great many people have been saying that — if their luck keeps pace with their dreams—they’re going to own a Cadillac one of these years. If you are among them—and we hope you are— this may be the year. Listen . . . . . . Cadillac has built a great new car, for 1950, that is just as practical to own as almost any car you would consider buying. It is the new “Sixty-One”—and it is priced lower than the highest-priced models of a number of other cars you would never think of as in the same class with Cadillac. Furthermore, this new Cadillac will give gasoline ■ . ' * Chas. H. Jenkins Motor Company, Inc. 105 to 109 E.

Some veterans believe they can make almost as much money per acre on Christmas trees as they can on to baeo or other field crops. They Bay that if western growers can ship trees into North Carolina and make a pro fit, they can grow the trees here at a profit, especially since most pur chasers feel that the red cedar Christ mas tree is superior to the Douglas fir and other avrieties being shipped in. “If the veterans puut one-tenth as much care and energy into raising Christmas trees they do into raising the average field crop, they should be reasonably successfull,” says Kel ley a specialized branch of agricul ture, and a great many armers cohld add substantially to their income by regarding it as such. Furthermore, with all the crop controls that now exist and the others that seem to be on the way, timber apparently is be coming the onlly crop that does not face acreage or marketing controls. The average farmer would do wel to convert some of his idle land to tim ber, Christmas trees, or other special wood-product production.” Serious Injuries Result From Unsafe Ladders Falls are the principal type of in jury that occur on the farm and in the farm home, C. W. Overman, county agent for the State College Extension Service, declared this week in pointing out that this is a good time of the year to check ladders and other climbing equipment used around the farmstead. Farmers who fail to keep such equiment in good repair aie heading for a fall. The National Safety Council has i approved the following precaution for i the safe use of ladders: Overman said. 1. set the base of the ladder one ■ fourth of the ladder’s height from the i wall. 2. A1 yaws face the ladder go ing up or down and hold on with both ; hands—don’t hurry. 3. Avoid leaning too far out on the ladder—it is saf er to move the ladder. 4. Clean mud ; or grease from oyur hans and shoes before climbing. 5. Tools or materi als that cannot be carried safely in pockets should be hoisted with a hand • line. 6. Avoid climbing or working on a high ladder in a high wind. Ladders should always be kept un der cover and in a handy location when not in Ase. It is never desirable to sue make-shifht devices such as chairs, boxes or tables, as severe in jury and even death can result from falls even at low levels. Inspect lad- . N Modern Chief Say.
