iChowan Demonstration CJubsj
Install County Council Officers
At Achievement Day Program
I Chowan County Home Demon
stration Clubs he'd their fall
achievement program Friday af
ternoon, October 10, at
o’clock at the Chowan Communi- :
ty Building which was featured
by a demonstration on dried flow
er arrangements by Pauline'
Gordon, Extension specialist. At
this important meeting there was
an installation ceremony for the’
new County Council officers, an
achievement report and presenta
tion of awards for achievement.
Mrs. Bristoe Perry rendered an
inspiriting devotional bgsed on
The Beatitudes. There was spe
cial music by Miss Kay Lowe, ac
companied by Miss Doris Jean
Cale, Mrs. Carey Hollowell. of
the host Chowan Club, welcomed
the ladies. Mrs, Wallace Peele
. graciously responded. i
Mrs; Fred Castelloe gave a re
port of the achievements during
the past year of the various clubs
in the county. By assembling a
large < | out, Home Demonstra
tion Club emblem, she •discussed
the activities and accomplish
ments. Gum Pond Club was rec
ognized for its outstanding work,
' and was presented the' achieve
ment award by Mrs. W. H. Saun
ders.
In an impressive ceremony,
Miss Maidred Morris, home agent
for Chowan County, installed the
new County Council officers who
are: President, Mrs. C. W. Over- j
man; vice president, Mrs. Lester [
Copeland, and secretary-treasurer,
Mrs. Fred Castelloe.
Mrs. H. T. Hollowell, outgoing j
Council president, presided over'
the meeting.
Miss Pauline Gordon gave a
. fascinating demonstration on i
dried flowers—including types ap
propriate for drying, methods of
I drying and decorative arranging,
v She impressed upon the members
s that dried flowers are not the
same as dead flowers and that it
■is necessary to pick them early l
. *in their blooming stage, while
v they are still green, in order to
|sve the most attractive dried
flowers that last indefinitely. She
stated that January through July
is the best time to collect and
that later most things would shed
too much to be of value. There
. were three methods described:
» The simple method of hanging up- .
side down in a dark place (an at-'
' tic or a heavy paper bag were ■
i suggested); the glycerin-water.
| method, which is used only on j
( leaves, giving them a rubbery j
j consistency, and the borax or |
I meal method for flowers such as
J zinnias and roses.
It was astounding how many of
her attractive examples were
from very common plants plenti
ful to this locality. They were
, hard to recognize as ordinary bear
grass, poke berries, bulrushes,
okra, dock, castor bean pods, corn
tassels and many others known to
everyone. She herself has had
v the experience of noticing some
thing particularly attractive and
comparatively rare on her trips,
. going to the trouble to obtain
specimens and carefully transport
them, only to find upon arrival
home that she has passed the
same type of plants every day on
'her way to work without notic
ing them.
She showed dramatic arrange
ments using all black (or char
coal) materials with interest in
different shapes and textures.
Also, arrangements in white, pink
and bronze tones were exhibited.
The permanent colors of the flow
ers depend on whether they are
dried in darkness or light. Col
lecting them at several of the j
early' stages also brings varying I
' r shades. Corn tasse's, picked when I
i first appearing, will dry t 6 be al- j
. most white if kept in a very dark]
place during the process... Inter- j
esting contrast items in her ar-;
rangements were dried lotus seed ’

pods and sycamore balls. The
latter should be pulled off the
t»-ee when green for the best ef
fect.
i.iany of the women present re
gretted that the demonstration
, was not given earlier in the year I
so that personal collections could
have been started at the best sea
son. The dried flower arrange
ments were so attractive they
would not be limited merely to
the times when fresh flowers are
scarce but could serve decorative
purposes at any time.
At the conclusion of the dem
onstration, the Chowan Club wo
men served delicious refreshments'
to the 60 persons present. The
bui ding had been tastefully dec
orated with fall leaves highlight
ed with flowers in varying hues;

By MRS. ONNIE 8. CHARLTON, Negro Home Demonstration Agent I
We still have apples, pears and
grapes and it is not too late to
c mserve some to help on our food
conservation plan for the family.
Dietary surveys taken in the
last 10 years show that we do not
eat enough fruits. Fruits give to
the body health protection, min
; erals and vitamins and have a!
i laxative effect in the body. We;
I find fruits listed in three of our !
Seven Basic Food Groups needed
daily. They are: Group I—green
and yellow vegetables and fruits;
this would include yellow peach- j
es. Group 2—our vitamin C foods;
oranges, tomatoes, grapefruit, raw
j cabbage, other raw greens and
sweet potatoes. Group 3—pota
toes; other vegetables and fruits.
This group is where our apples,
pears and grapes fall along with
berries, cherries, figs, white
peaches and plums.
