each year since 1952. Cornj
yields have shown a steady in
crease every year since the pro-1
gram started, with the excepiionl
of 1957, when extremely dry!
weather drastically cut corn'
yields. This year’s average
yield for 15 4-H projects is 96.8
bushels per acre, the highest
since the contest began. 1
This is interesting because
1959 was not a particulars good
corn year. This high average is
due to the fact that more and
moie 4-H’ers and their fathers
are using adapted hybrids and
following other recommended
cultural practices. This, of
course, was one of the purposes
of th£ Edenton Lions Club, to
encourage 4-H’ers to increase
corn yields by following better
management practices. The job
. is not completed, but giant
strides have been made.
The Advance Community 4-H
Club will hold their January
meeting this Monday night. I
aope all club members will start
he new year right by making a
:pecial effort to attend all meet
ings.
. The school 4-H club will also
meet next week. The Chowan
Junior, Intermediate and Senior
*4-H Clubs will meet Tuesday.
January 12, the John A. Holmes i
Senior 4-H Club on Wednesday,
January 13, and the Edenton

Be A Better Buyer
Do you know secrets of buy
ing Home Demonstration Club
women in Hoke County recently j
learned how to manage their j
buying better by planning, listing
and learning.
According to Miss Josephine
Hall, home economics agent,
ways were suggested on how to
be a better buyer. Many of the ,
homemakers were surprised to ]
learn about the consumer maga- j
zines which give information on I
buying, even discussing different
trade brands.
Wins Club Award
Cherokee Home Demonstration ;
Club recently received two'
awards at the Achievement Day
Program in Robeson County. !
Mrs. Lonnie Lowry was named
“Club Woman of the Year” and
they won the achievement award.
Mrs. Helen Sampson, assistant
home economics agent, says some
of the clubs’ projects included
helping provide clothing for chil
dren, providing leadership for lo
cal 4-H clubs, and assisting fami
lies whose homes were burned.
Laundry Practices
Automatic laundry equipment
takes away physical drudgery of
washing but it increases mental
work. This was the idea pre-
I sented at laundry workshops held
According to Mrs. Estelle
I White, home economics agent,
I ■ ecently in Halifax County.
! the women were told that care
ful preparation of clothes, correct

Washington The Conserva

hopeful that Congress—and the
nation—will heed a warning by
Senator Byrd (D-Va.) against
“labor leaders grown too arro
gant” and against further federal
fiscal irresponsibility.
A number of guide posts for
the future were spotlighted by
the veteran legislative, a long
time leader of the congressional
conservatives, in a Chicago ad

Our Teen-Agers
In the pamphlet “Our Teen-
Agers”, it is pointed out that
many moods and contradictory
mixtures of characteristics are
normal for a teen-ager.
According to Mrs. Thelma
Wheeler, home economics agent
in Cherokee County, Home Dem
onstration women in her county
recently discussed how they
could be more understanding
and patient with teen-agers as
they grow up. It was stressed
that discipline is needed and
most teen-agers expect it.
Clothing Achievements
The Achievement Day pro
gram was held in the form of a
dress revue this year in Cam
den County. Home Demonstra
tion Club members and their
families modeled clothing they
recently made.
Mrs. Mamie Sawyer, home eco
nomics agent, says Mrs. Gae Wil
liams, county clothing leader,
planned the program using as
the theme, “The Four Seasons.”
Thirty-eight outfits were model
ed with special emphasis on
“made-overs.”
New Appliance Added
Gaston County Home Demon
stration Club women arel fortun
ate to have a home center kitch
en where they can hold various
county functions.
The latest piece of equipment
added to the home center was a
mobile dishwasher, reports Miss
Lucile Tatum, home economics
agdht.' Thi4 new addition was in
cluded in the three-year plan of
making and budgeting money for
equipment.
The Virginia Senator always
: s listened to by his colleagues.
This speech took on even added
interest because of the January
6 reconvening of Congress in a
ess'on which could see action
on his proposals.
Here are some of the things
which he thinks must be done—
to which he pledged his support
to the fullest extent of his “ca
pacity and energy”:
“1. Stopping expenditures in
excess of our income by elimin
ating nonessenial spending.
“2. Reducing the federal debt:
this would be a great deterrent
to inflation for the present and
lift some of the burden we are
loading on generations of the
future.
“3. Curbing the excesses in
dulged in by labor leaders, with
out destroying the right of col
lective bargaining.”
The Senator believes that
“when irresponsible labor lead
ers have the powOl* virtually to
shut down the country, our na
tional security is imperiled;
when they have the power to
stop production and wages, our'
economy is impaired; when they
have the power to force wage
increases unjustified by increased ,
production, they create infla
tion.” X
Usually there are only two
issues in strikes, he maintains. I
“One is an inflationary wage
increase unjustified by increas- 1
ed production. The other is)
more authority to tell manage
ment how to run the business.
More power for the labor leaders
usually is the big objective with
little regard for others.”
Elimination of wasteful Gov
ernment spending is essential,
he contends, because “we are
faced today with more deficits,
more debt, growing inflation,
sinking foreign trade balance,
dwindling gold reserves, and
Russian gains in the continuing
race in scientific, military and
economic fields.”
He thinks these are “serious
weaknesses” and “dangerous con
ditions which must be reversed.”
He foresees another deficit for
the present fiscal year (ending
next June 30) of $1 to $2 billion.
This would be the 24th deficit in
the past 29 years.
The lederal debt ($292.5 billion)
is “at its all-time peak” and is
rising.
Purchasing power of the dol
lar has dropped to 47.3 cents as
compared with the 1939 value.
Interest on the federal debt is
$9.1 billion a year and the in
terest rate averages about 3 per
cent “New issues cf recent
months are costing nearly 5 per
cent. Should the whole debt of
nearly S3OO billion ever be re
financed at the new rates, the
interest cost would be upwards
of sls billion” each year.
The total cost of federal Gov
ernment has gone up nearly sl6
billion annually since the Ko
rean war—a “tremendous in
crease” of 23 percent.
The increases in spending, he
points out in urging economy,
