STRICTLY PERSONAL—Anyone
Who can sit down and write, one
after the other, ten novels (I
believe it is 10), has my whole
hearted admiration and respect.
I haven’t yet njuddled half-way
through my first one. Bejjeve
it or not, I am writing, or at
tempting to write, a novel. And
you can blame it on Inglis
Fletcher, whether the novel ever
„ gets written. When Inglis Fletch
er came to town my writing am
bitions and aspirations were at a
low ebb. I had begun my novel
at that time but just couldn’t
push the book along. But here

came a lady who began to write
novels one after the other—and I
was trying to write only one.
Something happened or clicked
in my head. If she can write
’em by the dozen, I can at least
try to write one! I got out my
neglected MS, and I am now
working more or less steadily
on it; by summer or fall I ex

Whether or not I will have a
real novel or just a bunch of
ineffectual writing, remains to

were a necessity for a young
nation.
As your nation grew the need
for more raw materials also in
creased. There were no ma
chines to work the soil, and
since the raw materials were
cheap the farmer couldn’t afford
to hire enough help, therefore,
the introduction of slaves from
Africa seemed to solve the prob
lem. There is no doubt in my
mind that slavery served as a
very important link in the
growth of our nation. But as
our nation prospered in other
fields it remained backward in
doing away with slavery. As
with so many habits, it’s hard
to change and conform to new
things. Added to this some

slave owners were very reluctant
to give up something so profit
able. Therefore, slavery had
changed from an evil necessity
to a profitable misjustice.
In the North, industry had
prospered, therefore, with their
machines they had no use for
slaves and didn’t see why the I
southerners should be able to
have free labor. Here actually]
is where the base of the strug
gle existed. There was a rival
ry between North and South for
wealth and commerce, which re-1
suited from a conflicting, irre
pressible economic struggle.
When such conflicting economic
systems exist there is almost
certain to be unrest until one
system is chosen. As politics
slowly but surely entered the pic
ture these differences were ex
pressed as the most conflicting
event of the moment. At this
time slavery stood as good a
factor as any. Therefore the
fight over slavery was a lot
more than the outward appear-,
ance which it professed. In re
ality it was a fight for differ
ent economic ways of life.
Therefore it is the belief of
many historians that secession,
arid even war, would have been

Assistant Home Economics Agent
To start off this column I
want .to thank all the many
people who helped to make the
observance of the 1961 National
4-H Club Week successful here
in Chowan County: Mr. Bufflap
for the two page feature in The
Chowan Herald; Mr. Dick Schu
man and the personnel at radio
station WCDJ; Mr. Jake Ho
bowsky for the use of his store
windows; the restaurants, and
the many other friends and
donors who participated in the
activities of the 4-H program.
You might be interested to know
that a detailed report of all the
National 4-H Week activities will
go to Raleigh.
A 4-H record book workshop
will be held Wednesday, March
22, at 7:30 P. M, in the Rocky
Hock Community Center. I
urge all senior 4-H’ers and any
interested leaders 'to make every
effort to attend 'this activity.
Mr. Lyman B. Dixon, District
4-H ■dlub Agent, will conduct
the workshop. This will be a
two-hour session with major
emphasis put on: (1) filling out
a standard report form; (2) how
to compile a long-time record.
This should be of special inter
est to boys and girls who hope
'to compete in a district and state
level in any 4-H project work.
It will help the adult leaders
better understand the techniques
involved in long time record
keeping and allow the leader to
help the 4-H’ers more.

tention to the Fat Stock Show
and Sale which will be coming
