I have never seen a Walt Dis-|
ney movie I didn't like, whether j
cartoon or live. And to create'
a character as well-loved as!
Mickey Mouse, and to reach the
hearts of a million kids (and
adults), as Disney most assured
ly has, should be success and
happiness sufficient for any
man.
I don’t envy any man his lot,"
I don’t care for a seat in the]
White House;
Just give me the genius of a
Disney ,’
And let me create a Mickey
Mouse.

The Way West has written the
ultimate story of this genre, and
in him, as Bernard de Voto
writes, "The pioneer West has
found its novelist at last.”
The Way West is written in a
simple, free and easy, almost
"homey” style. And the author
thumbs his nose at the literary
purists by using cliches and the
simplest language now and then
—if they seem to serve his pur
pose best. The book is full of
sights and sounds and smells'
of a wagontrain on the march;!
and runs the gamut of all the
emotions of a bunch, of people 1
thrown together by circumstance
and necessity far from the fa-!
miliar spot home. There
is keen life and the pathos of
death; the brightness of sun- 1
streaked dawns, and star- 1
studded and sometimes storm-1
streaked nights. There are!
rattlesnakes. Indians and stam-l

•The Council voted at their last
| meeting to invite Bobby down
,’ to tell us his experiences as an
(IFYE delegate to Burma.
Bobby Smith of Belvidere
{Perquimans County) was cho-
I sen as one of seventy young
" people from throughout the
| United States to participate ini
"the 1959 International Farm]
j Youth Exchange. This program, i
'called IFYE. is conducted by the
| National 4-H Club Foundation.
I The delegates live and work
I with farm families in the coun-'
tries they visit, therefore theyj
are able to become acquainted
with the basis of the civilization
{of the country. Each delegate
spends approximately six months
in his host country.
Bobby had some very inter
esting- experiences during his
stay in Burma, living with 13
families. I'm sure you will be
interested in hearing these ex.
periences. therefore w e are in
viting all 4-H'ers to this Coun

j pedes. There is music and
laughter and courage and fear,
j back-breaking toil and ever
present danger—but above all,
there rolls along with the wagon

earth, home.
THE WEST—This year marks
the 100th anniversary of the
t famed Pony Express, which was
j inaugurated April 3, 1860. Its
‘life as a mail-carrier was des
tined to be a short one, operat
tfig only 18 months; but the
i Pony Express in this short span
wrote in the history of America
and the West, as dramatic a
I story as ever studded the folk
! lore of any people.
! Preserve Edenton’s Past with
la progressive Present
4-H’er. Among the many hon
ors Bobby won include the Na
tional 4-H Health Award in
1954, the National 4-H Achieve
ment Award in 1955, and the
National Danforth Leadership 1
Award in 1956. He received!
over $3,000 in scholarship
awards to attend the college of
his choice.
Have you decided to give a
demonstration this year? I hope
that a lot of you will, because
you will enjoy doing it and it
will be a wonderful experience
for you. especially if you can
be a winner. Os course, this
just depends on how much you
are willing to work. When you
do decide, let Miss Aman or me
know so that we can help you.
Are you keeping your project
record books up to date? You
will find it much easier to com
plete your records if you will
take a minute or two to record
events as they happen. And re
member to use your manual for
your project. Recommended
practices followed is a part of
your record.

Anyone who's looked around knows
the majority of Chevrolet models—6's
and VB’s together—list for less than
comparable models of other low-priced
cars. But the price tag alone is only
one of a whole raft of reasons a
Chevy docs belter by your dollars.
Nothing near Chevy’s size and price can
match tire Full Coil cushioning of its
ride, or the fine, finished workmanship
of its Body by Fisher. That even applies
to some cars that cost a lot more. You’re
up in the higher price brackets before
you find a car that moves as quietly as a
Chevrolet or offers the inner space that
Chevrolet docs.
Or look at the extras Chevy gives you
—at no extra cost— that others in its class
can’t offer at any price. Shock-cushioned
steering. Safety Plate Glass in every win
dow. Keyless locking of all doors. Crank
operated vent windows. Chevrolet offers
the widest choice of power teams, too.
Drive a Chevy just once.
You'll have a tough time ffgmwTnj
settling for any thing less. ■UikwJiH

Coastal Bermuda
Coastal Bermuda grass set on
several farms in the county in
March is beginning to turn
green. Plantings were checked
Friday on L. N. Hollowell, W. M.
Hare, Fahey and Carroll By
rum’s farms.
Ditch Bank Stabilization
A trial planting of lovegrass
and sericea lespedeza for ditch
bank stabilization was made
Friday on W. M. Hare’s farm.
Rows about one foot apart were
seeded on the slope of the ditch.
Pipes for surface water to en-!
ter the ditch have been installed, j
W. E. Bond of Edenton is pre- i
paring the banks of his new I
ditch. A strip of grass will be|
seeded on each side of the ditch |
to prevent «. rosion. Pipe will
be installed to take surface wa
ter into the ditch.
Many farmers are finding that
a little ditch protection will save
the new open ditch.
Beach Erosion Stabilization
The Soil Conservation Service
has established a test plot on
the Leigh farm in Perquimans ]
County to prevent beach eros
ion. The test plot was sloped
to about a 3:1 and several dis-1
ferent kinds of grasses planted, j
Among them were cord grasses I
found growing locally. Karl
Kraetz, SCS plant materials spe
cialist, is in charge of the pro
ject. Several of these tests have
proven successful in Virginia
and Maryland.
Plant Expansion Estimated At $37 Billion
Expenditures for new plant
and equipment by business and
iidustry have shown a close re-’
lationship to economic activity
over the past decade. In the
majority of years they have runi
between 7 and 8 percent of gross
national product. Two princi-t
pal exceptions during this pe-l
riod were in 19565 and 1957, i
when the ratio exceeded 8 per-!
cent in the capital expansion |
boom during those years.
Spending on new plant and
equipment this year is forecast j
at $37 billions, duplicating the j
high in 1957, according to the
use (jSso):
