News About Clubs In Chowan County By HATTIE SINGLETARY Home Demonstration Agent. This is National Farm Safety Week. Time to check your farm and home to make sure that it is “Fall Proof.” Any unsafe conditions, combined with carelessness, leads to falls. When you’re in a hurry, it’s easy to slip on slippery waxed floors, trip in dark or obstructed passageways, slide on wet bathroom floors, or trip over an extension cord. Hazardous conditions and practices should be eliminated from every farm and home. It’s a good idea to begin a safety improvement plan during this 11th Annual Farm Safety Week. Winners Congratulations! Jackie Morris and Shirley Harrell! We are very proud of you. To those of you who haven’t heard, these 4-H’ers won the State Farm and Home Electric Demonstration Contest which was held last week at North Carolina State College. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Harrell and son Gerald and Mrs. John Morris went to! Raleigh Friday, July 23, to see Jackie and Shirley give their winning dem-j onstrations at the William Neal Rey nolds'Coliseum before the entire 4-Hj delegation.

COUNT ON US” EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N C., THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1954. Lunch Basket Offers | Motorists’ Time Saving' A lunch basket, packed before leav- j ing on a motoring trip, offers a pleas ant convenient, economical, and time-j saving way of eating meals along the | road. There are numerous picnic j areas beside the nation’s highways where a family can enjoy its basket lunches. This plan is especially prac tical when there are children in the j group because they are less restricted) than in a dining room. The freedom | of the out-of-doors atmosphere enables j both children and adults to enjoy the j release from traveling confinement ! Tasty, nutritious sandwiches are easy| to prepare and carry. Thermos bot tles are used for milk, coffee, and fruit juices. A dessert of fresh fruit and baker’s cake rounds out the way side picnic menu.
