Chowan 4 H Club
Winners In Two
District Contests
Local Youngsters En
tered In Eight of the
Various Contests at
Choeowinity
By HARRY VENTERS
The Eastern District 4-H Dem
onstration contests, held in Cho
cowinity Wednesday, are now
history. Chowan County 4-H’ers
entered eight of the contests and
came away winner iq two of
them, along with several second
places finishes. Every partici
pant was a winner in the true
sense of the word, for they did
their best. Learning a demon
stration. preparing posters and
other demonstration materials
* and getting up in front of an
audience, knowing you are being
judged is no easy task for any
one. Yet that is just what these
boys and girls did, and they
made a fine showing.
Linda Byrum, Ronnie Toppin
and Elane Hobbs entered and
won the fanner cooperative
demonstration against strong
competition. The runner -up
team from Beaufort County
placed third in the state last
year.
Johnny Winborne won the
wildlife demonstration contest.
He also had strong competition
from several counties.
Leon and Lewis Evans were
blue ribbon winners and placed
second in the forestry contest.
These boys did a good job. at
tested to by the fact that they
were awarded blue ribbons.
V Another blue ribbon team in
cluded Kay Bunch and Judy Ev
ans in dairy foods. These girls
really made a hit with their
demonstration “Ice Cream —
Dressed Op." Real good, too!
Zackie Harrell won one of
two blue ribbuns in the 4-H
public speaking contest. I would
like for all of you to hear Zackie
tell how 4-H Club work has
helped him.
Thomas Peele and Ray
Smith gave a good demonstra
tion and won a red ribbon on
soil and water conservation,
showing advantages of both open
ditch and tile drainage. I think
these boys probably benefited
more from their participation
than any of the others.
Gene Harrell and Joe Bass,
our youngest team, won a red
ribbon and did a wonderful job
wnli a vegetable insect control
demonstration. This is a pair
that will probably be winners
next year.
Bryant White, red ribbon win
ner, really gave the lowdown in
starting and managing a beef
herd. Bryant is well qualified
to talk on this subject, as he has
shovi'n three grand champion
steers at our Fat Stock Show
and Sale.
I’m sure Judy Evans made a
good appearance in the dress
revue with the outfit she made.

Mrs. Babylon Is
Now In Missouri
Word has been received that
after a pleasant trip West, Mrs.
Eugenia Babylon and her son,
John are now temporarily stay
ing at Warrensburg, Missouri.
On the trip west the'.B®>byfobs
visited Chapel Hill, the Mam-;
moth Caves and Vincennes, her
birthplace. At Vincennes, Mrs.
Babylon visited with 'old friends
of the family and had a Very
enjoyable time, so much so that
she plans to return there to visit.
Mrs. Babylon states that H is
very difficult to find adequate
living quarters and that rents
are quite high, for the present
she and her son are staying at a
motel.
They have visited Central
Missouri State College, where
John Babylon expects to ma
triculate in the fall. They both
speak very highly of the col
lege and local people are very
proud of the college which now
has an enrollment of 3,500 but
which is expected to grow with
in a few years to an enrollment
of ten-thousand.
The country around Warrens
burg is beautiful With several
state parks within reasonable
distance of the town, which has
a population of ten-thousand.
They find the people very kind,
considerate and hospitable.
The library at the Whiteman
Air Force Base is a very fine
building but the library needs
complete overhauling and re
organization. She has two mili
tary assistants to help her as
well as a civilian employee.
While the Missouri countryside
is beautiful and she has a won
derful library to work with,
nevertheless, Mrs. Babylon is a
bit homesick and misses her
friends in Edenton, Plymouth
and Columbia. She wishes to be
remembered to everybody.

Group of Young Peo
' pie Make House-to-
House Calls In Order
To Raise Money
On Thursday evening, June
23, several members of the Cen
ter Hill Junior 4-H Club met at '
the home of Mrs. E. P. Jones
with Mrs. J. S. Turner, Mrs. J.
1. Boyce and Mrs. Melba Dußois
for the purpose of conducting a
house-to-house drive for the
benefit of the Center Hill-Cross
r Roads Fire Department.
| This was one of the projects
' selected by the Center Hill Com-
I munity Progress Committee on
youth activities.
Many of the residents in the
Center Hill community had not *
been contacted for funds to be
used for the benefit of the Fire
Department and these Junior
4-H'ers decided that they would
like to contact each home in the
area and give everyone in the
J community a chance to partici
pate in whatever way they
' could.
j The group was divided into
I two groups headed by two
adults and as each donation was
j given a receipt was written, thus
1 giving the children experience
in writing receipts and keepng
lan accurate account of monies
received.
The children were well re
! ceived and the canvass netted
almost S4O.
Children taking part in the
'drive were June Turner, Linda
Goodwin. Linda Monds, Peggy
Monds. Phyllis Bulls. Robert
Bulls, Robbie Boyce and Tommy
Belch. They wish to express
their appreciation to each one
who contributed.
