SECTION Two PAGE SIX CHOvf£&> News By CATHERINE AMAN Assistant Home Economics Agent With a new year just around the corner, now is the time to evaluate what was accomplished last year. The following is a brief resume of the achieve ments of Chowan 4-H Clubs: The Chowan 4-H members as clubs and individuals have made much progress and improve ments during the past year. We feel that one of the high lights of 1960 was our observ ance of National 4-H Club Week. It was a wonderful and most in formative experience for the 4-H’ers who participated in “tak ing over” radio station WCDJ for two days during this week. And we feel that the 4-H Club pro gram here in Chowan County is better understood and may be appreciated just a little more by this type of publicity and ob servance of National 4-H Club Week. We have accomplished much in our community 4-H Clubs. The Center Hill Junior Club (which is a faiily new club, just organized in July, 1959), is grow ing by leaps and bounds and ac complishing just as much. The Center Hill Junior 4-H’crs have made or helped make lav ors for the Chowan Hospital pa tients three times during the year. Some of the members took turns at the Center Hill election voting place and sold pencils for the Hospital Auxili ary during the May primaries. Twelve of these members at tsended 4-H Camp at Manteo in June (one-half of the total 4-H’ers going to camp from Chowan). Also during June the Junior 4-H ’ers made a house-to-house canvass of the Center Hill com munity for funds for the Center Hilt-Cross Roads Fire Station. This drive netted S4O for the Rural Fire District. Four of the Juniors partici pated in the county elimination contests— two members went on to compete in the district talent contest. During July the 4-H’ers enjoy ed a craft workshop where they learned to cover coat hangers with plastic gimp. The Center Hill 4-H’ers and leaders made a series of pro gressive games which were used at the Chowan Halloween Car nival and for their own Hal loween party. These games will be- used in the community by various groups for recreation. The Center Hill Junior Club sent one dollar and Advance H fM JOE THORUD SAYS: to fcee/> jour HOME IN >! | THE FAMILY j and your FAMILY IN 1 THEIR HOME j J ff|| g§ * Jujt see your Nationwide man and ask for a Mortgage Can cellation plan.

Club has enrolled nine new members this past year. Thir-, teen Oak Grove members par ticipated in the County Elimina tion Contest and five were in the district contests and two entered the State Health Pageant. Leon Evans, state forestry project "’inner, is a member of the Oak Grove Club. The Oak Grove Community Club sponsored swimming les sons for everyone in the com munity during July and August. , This club had a window exhibit These club members have also ( during National 4-H Club Week.

The 4-H’ers j from Rocky Hock have served j on several youth committees within the community develop ment organization. There were six school clubs I in Chowan last year, meeting monthly with demonstrations given each month by the Exten sion agents. The 4-H Development Fund organization was set up in Cho wan this past year. Adults in le-ested in the 4-H program , made up this organiation.

The 1960 Chowan 4-H pro gram was brought to a favorable end with the State Fair 4-H booth which we were responsible for in October. This booth was entitled “Use the Power of 4-H Bombs In Community Develop ment.” Even though it was not judged as one of the top first four booths, we were proud of the display. We are looking forward to an other full and prosperous year in 1961—and we’ll have to work hard to better our 1960 record of achievement. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The steadfast light of the Christ, Truth, will be empha sized at Christian Science ser vices Sunday. The Christmas story to be read in the Lesson-Sermon en titled “Christian Science” will include the following: “Now when Jesus was born in Bethle hem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship Traci; CnOwAc? neMfi LD.

From “Science and Health with I Key to the Scriptures” by Mary | Baker Eddy the following will be read (95:23): “Led by a soli -1 tary star amid the darkness, the Magi of old foretold the Messiah ship of Truth. Is the wise man ' of to-day believed, when he be holds the light which heralds Christ’s eternal dawn and des cribes its effulgence?” Cleaning Up Second Time Wife—Are the burglars going?
