SECTION ONE—] 4-H Clubs THE 4-H COUNTY COUNCIL By Jackie Morris President Chowan 4-H County Council The 4-H County Council is compos ed of all the officers from the seven 4-H Clubs in the county. The Coun cil meets the third Wednesday night in each month at the Cross Roads Community Building. Our Council, which has approximately 35 members who attend regularly, is a very active one. We are very proud of our local leaders who help us in our 4-H work. They help us with projects and pro grams and the difficult problems that arise in our work. The purpose of the County Council is to discuss business and appoint committees for various jobs to be done. The meetings are conducted somewhat in this order: the president takes charge by calnng the meeting to order. We then have a short devotional program presented by the members. Following this the business is discussed by the members, leaders and agents. For our pro grams we have demonstrations or movies presented by the members or agents. After adjourning we have rec reation of some kind that is enjoyed by all, including our local leaders. Our 4-H County Council officers for this year are: President, Jackie Morris; vice presi dent, Jackie Byrum: secretary-treasur er, Evangeline Copeland; assistant-sec retary, Leon Privott; reporter, Betty Byrum; song leaders, Peggy Perry and Larry Lowe; pianist, Kay Frances White. We are proud of our Council and we hope that the club members and lead ers will strive and work “To Make The Best Better.” WHAT 4-H HAS MEANT TO ME By Jacquelyn Bunch 4-H Club Member 4-H has been one of my chief in- NOTICE!

My experiences have been varied and my achievements have been many. To me, 4-H is the one organiza tion that is next to the Church and its organization, because the 4-H Club | has such high standards. 1 My projects have included Home 1 Beautification, Food Preparation,, - Food Preservation, and Room Im-' i provement, with Home Beautification _ being the most interesting, t When I began my Home Beautifica -3 tion project we had just moved into |, a new house. I planted many shrubs 3 and plants around the house and clbar ; ed a new piece of land to make the 1 yard larger. I now have this so that it can he mowed and flowers are grow . ing and blooming. I was county win t ner in 1951 and 1949. > I I feel that my Food Preservation , j has helped a lot in many ways. It 3 ] has also helped my mother. I’ve cook >| ed many meals and prepared many 3 dishes. : Tt seems that we just can’t get .'along during the winter if we don’t I prepare, in some way, to preserve I > some foods, so I have taken Food ' , Preservation as one of my projects. •, Room Improvement is another one •! of my favorites. I love to change • things from year to year, so one of ■ the units that I completed was re-ar- I rangement. This year has been one of I my biggest years for Room Improve •, ment. I not only painted the walls (and woodwork in my own bedroom, but .also two other rooms in the house. . I I’ve taken care of my room all by my self. I’ve made a few articles and , renovated some old furniture for my I room. ; I have liked, most of all, the Coun ty Council meetings w r hich I have reg . ularly attended. I have been secre- , .jtary, and treasurer, and also president ( • |of the County Council. I attended 4-H Club Week at Ra- , leigh in 1950 and 1949 where I real- j ly got to know exactly what the 4-H] Club is. I have enjoyed my projects and all . of my experiences in 4-H Club work. 1 THE CHOWAN HERALD, KDKNTON. N. C., THURSDAY MARCH 11, 1954. LOCAL 4-H LEADERS ARE ESSENTIAL By Mary Sue Elliott 4-H Club Member 4-H local leaders have a vital part ‘in 4-H Club work. They help the club members better understand how various projects are carried on. They help keep them interested in 4-H Club work by .“filling in” or taking the place of the home or county agent when any member needs advice or help. There are so many 4-H Club mem bers it is impossible for one to con tact the agents every time they can use their advice, so the local leaders can be considered “substitute agents.” Besides helping with projects the! leaders help to give various programs j in the community, plan the year’s work, assist with 4-H Church Sun- j day and other special activities. Local leaders are especially essen* tial for the demonstrations given by ■ 4-H members. The leaders help the boys or girls select the subject for the demonstration, decide the best way I to conduct them, and help them prac tice; criticizing and correcting—always with a spirit of helpfulness that ex pects no reward other than that of helping the 4-H members do their best to give a good demonstration. Our 4-H Club motto and goal is “Tp Make The Best Better” and with local leaders to help and advise, more of the members will reach this goal. Specialist Conducts Training School For Negro Club Leaders A very interesting and most helpful training school for project leaders on “How To Make Slip Covers” was giv en by Miss G. M. Kyer, Negro subject matter specialist of Greensboro, N. C. The school was held on Tuesday. March 2, at the Negro Farm and Home Agents’ office with 40 in attendance. Miss Kyer stated that the purpose of a slip cover is to protect the chair and to make the home more liveable. She also stated that, before we at tempt to make a cover we should con sider the type of material to be used and the size of the chair to be cov ered. In selecting material to be used we should look for the manufacturers’ name, guarantee from fading. Pre shrunk not over 2 Vr shrinkage, lively, heavy and closely woven material, ma terial at least 48 inches wide and should be able to hold up at least 5 years and do not buy large flowers for small chair, said Miss Kyer. Miss Kyer demonstrated j how to make a paper pattern for a slip cov er; how to cut slip cover and how to make the slip cover. 1 In her conclusion she said that slip j car feeling.

Overman Says Time To Prepare Soil For Gardens This Summer “Is your garden soil in tip top shape for planting?” asks County Agent C. W. Overman. “If it isn’t you had bet ter get busy! Many garden failures are due to poorly prepared seedbeds. How would you like to lie down in a bumpy or cloddy bed? You wouldn’t do much sleeping—neither will a plant do much growing! Imagine a tiny seed covered with a hard clod of soil '—wouldn’t it have a hard time ‘push | ing’ its way un ? Lumpy soils dry out I faster also, thus resulting in poor i germination and poor stands. Lumpy soils are usually the result of work ing the soil when it’s too wet. Let’s have better germination and better stands by fixing a good, smooth seed bed. “How much fertilizer should I use ?
