CHOW^ News By CATHERINE AMAN Assistant Home Economics Agent Plans are underway for the organization of a Community 4-H Club in the Rocky Hoek- Gum Pond area. Many of the young people and parents have been visited in connection with planning for the 4-H Club. This first meeting has been schedul ed for Tuesday, July 19, at 8 P. M. in the Rocky Hock Com munity Center. All boys and girls between the ages of 10-21 in this area are invited to at tend this first meeting. Organization of a 4-H Club is one of the projects and objec tives listed in the Rocky Hock y Community Development Plan for 1960. A youth committee composed of Betty Jean Smith, Wayne Bunch and Nancy Bass has been creating interest among the young people for the even tual club organization. Five 4-H’ers left Monday morning for Senior 4-H Camp, which is being held at Roanoke Island 4-H Camp, Manteo. Harry Venters, assistant county agri cultural agent, accompanied the grbup composed of Betty Joe Wdbb, Bryant White, Jerry White, Jimmy Ward and Rich ard White. This is the first year that an exclusively Senior 4-H Camp has been held. The program has been altered to be of more interest to the older 4-H Club members. The same basic camp activities will be en joyed by this group that the Junior 4-H’ers enjoyed earlier | this year. In addition to the Senior Camp program will be a day’s outing to Cape Hatteras. Another feature the Senior 4- H’ers will enjoy that the Juniors missed will be the Lost Colony pageant. This group will return Saturday, July 16. State 4-H Club Week is the next big event for 4-H Club members in North Carolina. This will be held at State College July 25-30. The members at tending for the week from Cho wan County include Johnny WiaJoome, who will present his wildlife demonstration in the state contest; Elane Hobbs, Lin da Byrum and Ronnie Toppin, who will give their farmer co operative demonstration in the state finals; Leon Evans and Judy Evans will participate in the state health pageant which will be held on Thursday. Mr. Venters’ home at Center Hill was the scene of unusual k activity last Friday. Center Hill | Junior 4-H'er's were lined up on the edge of his porc'h busily learning a new craft at a special workshop conducted by Miss Apian. She taught them how to cliver coat hangers by braiding "gimp” and the children wire so engrossed in their new ett>erience they were almost re lujjtant to put their work aside tolstart preparing a special out dolr meal planned as a demon stration. Miss Aman showed how to make stuffed picnic roll, which were heated in alujhinum foil on an outdoor grill a finger salad and “Some Mores,” which was a combina tion] of graham crackers, marsh mallows and milk chocolate. The children thoroughly enjoyed the crafts workshop and the outdoor cooking demonstration.

It just announced its compila tion for 1959, which revealed an increase of over 4 percent as compared with 1958. Actually the figures are 4.2 to 4.4 percent. This variation is the result of using two sets of employment data —establishment reports of payroll hours and la bor force reports of individuals. This is worth noting because it gives one example of how diffi cult it is to get any figure that is worth printing. The Bureau is most conscious of these difficul ties and also that the figures constantly are misused and have misleading conclusions read into ITiv aola Buttermilk. Here’s the summertime drink that’s Jut / j [M/j ally cool and refreshing. Maofa Buttermilk is won imn«iiui'l bmh wilhoM HiJt (uIHimM. Im FOR SUMMERTIME DUNK MAOIA IUTTERMIIK , , » WHAT A THAT!

But there is nothing the Bureau can do either to prevent this misuse or the misinterpreta tion. Even granting the limited value of the figures there are some things that need to be said about them: First, it is customary for out put per manhour to rise sub stantially after a recession. Various factors contribute to this, such as management adding employees only as they dearly are needed—the poor producers having been eliminated during the business downturn—and the introduction of all possible cost saving processes -and devices as volume rises. A 4 percent-plus rise in 1959, therefore, does not give even an indication of what MISTAKE—After living with the “wrong” parents for her whole life, 17-year-old Gudrun Reuthe is the unwanted girl in a two-family fight in Hanau, West Germany, She was switched just after birth with girl. will or may happen in 1960. Second, a year-to-year change in productivity is never signifi cant. Rather, only the long-term trend is. Indicative of what really is happening in the eco nomic system; and the longer the period covered, the better are the results because in the long er period some of the inevitable errors may be offset. For the entire postwar period 1947-1959 the annual increase w-as be tween 3.1 and 3.4 percent, ac cording to the Bureau depend ing upon which series of man hours is used. Considering that during this period there were three recessions, this is a rather remarkable showing, but the pe riod is still too short to warrant hard and fast conclusions. Third, the rate of growth var ies widely from one section of the economic system to another For example, during 1960 agri culture showed practically no improvement in output ,per man -1 hour, but for the entire postwar 1 period the annual increase was 6 percent. The Bureau has not published the rate by industries, but that unguestionably would 1 reveal quite enormous varia tions; and the same would be true if we had data on individ ual companies. Fourth, the figure does not represent merely the contribu-1 tion of labor. As the bureaul puts it in its release, the figure 1 measures “the combined effect of a number of interrelated in tluences, such as skills of work ers, managerial skill, changes in technology, capital investment per worker, utilization of capa city, layout and flow of material, and labor-management relations.” This means, of course, that the improvement is not a sound basis upon which to determine wages. Finally, there is a vast differ ence between the increase in output per manhour and the growth rate of the economy as a whole. The best measure of the i • nation s growth rate is gross na tional product, which, it will be recalled, is the monetary value of i all the goods and services pro duced in the nation. An increase in output per manhour, is only one of innumerable elements en tering and determining the gross national prodect. These comments may give the impression that it would be bet ter if we simply stopped trying to measure productivity. That is far from true, We need the fig ure, and it will be calculated in any event. The need is to stop reading more in the calculation than is warranted. Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, see how happy those are who already possess it.
