IN MEMORLAM
Oscar M. Elliott
We, the Board of Direct
ors of Edenton Cotton Mill,
wish to express our sincere
sorrow because of the death
of our fellow member,
Oscar M. Elliott, who died
September 15, 196 U. He had
been a member of the
Board of Directors for
twenty-nine years and dur
ing this time his continued
interest and business judg
ment had contributed much
toward the advancement of
the business of the Com
pany. While he was a Di
rector the Mill was im
proved throughout and the
most modern machinery in
stalled. He always was
aware of the necessity to
keep the Mill in the most
modern condition.
In addition to his serving
on the Board of Directors,
Oscar M. Elliott: was the
• owner and operator of one
of the most successfu
mercantile establishments in
Edenton. His fine busines;
acumen led this business
into substantial growth to
become one of the largest
mercantile establishments in
the community.
His private philanthropies
were not generally known,
but over many years he
quietly assisted a number
of youths in obtaining an
education. He was always
interested in the better
ment of Edenton.
To his wife and membe "'.
of his family we wish to
express cur sincere sym
pathy upon the loss of our
fellow member and long
time friend.

Congress In Chicago

that will live long in their
hearts.
There are memories of thous
' ands of smiles . . . from the 1,-
500 4-H’ers at the national con
gress . . . from hard-bitten Chi
cago natives . . . from top in
dustrialists who help support
! 4-H . . . from the harried mil
lions of the great hotels . . .
| They remember the magnifi
! cent horse show at the Inter
national Livestock Exposition,
the steeplechase with its hifalu
| tin riders . . . the proud cham
• pion cows and sheep and hogs ...
They recall the warmness of
their hosts, at magnificent lunch
eons and banquets in the famed
i Palmer House, the Conrad Hil-
I ton, the Sheraton-Blackstone —
‘ people like Mrs. Charles R. Wal
green, energetic 81-year-old wid
ow of the drug chain founder.
She was there for almost every
I main event, poving her person
al as well as financial interest
1 in 4-H.
i They think of Police Sergeant
I Pefferkorn, a slim man with a
■ friendly face wno saw that the
delegates got around the me
; tropolis with ease, and still kept
| the interminable flow of traf
| sic moving. The sergeant seem
ed to be at every intersection,
and always smiling.
They, remember - the spirit of
Christmas that was permeating
the city already, the bare-limbed
trees diamonded with white
lights, the marvelous scenes in
1 the store windows, the jangle of
: Salvation Army bells amid the
roar of the “el’ in the Loop” . . .
Chicago is a city of all peo
ples, where the youngsters from
| the farm mingle with the,
I strolling from a $250-a-plate
benefit . . . where a dollar
doesn’t buy much, but a 4-H’er :
gets a thousand dollars worth
of entertainment free . . . where
a top executive of a huge indus-|
try chats at a banquet with a
delegate from Africa ... |
The 4-H’ers recall vividly then
meetings, and how they presid
ed before audiences of two
thousand . . . where the spirit
of 4-H achievement swelled
strongly, firing up the speakers,;
the hosts, even the entertain
ers ... '
The delegates will not soon
forget the entertainment, which 1
was remarkable even at the spe-1
rial breakfasts . . . the corned-[

break up the meeting, “so Mrs.

girl singers, one of them so vi
brant and talented that a
middle-aged 4-H leader predict
ed she’d be another Sophie Tuck- J

One of the lessons of 4-H Con- *
gress is learning the inspiration-1
al value of topnotch entertain-1
ment, and the families of the
Tar Heel delegates should not
blanch when their children seek
the higher plateaus of entertain-!
ment.
The memory *hat this whole'
week is a tremendous tribute to j
4-H deeds will bolster the dele-j
gates, their parents, their lead-'
ers and the 4-H’ers who follow
them in living up to the 4-H
motto: “To Make the Rest Bet
ter.” For this is why the con
gress has been held for 39 years
and each one seems better than
the last. It’s a contest of ach
ievement between 4-H and Chi
cago.
To a great many of the dele
gates, the finest memory of all
is of the final banquet. There
the whole Congress, two thous
and strong, forms a mighty chor
us to sing the “Star Spahgled
Benner.”
And all ■of the 4-H effort is
distilled into a single goal. To
live up to the spirit of the Na
tional Anthem.
