CARD OF THANKS - We would like to ex press our sincere apprecia tion for the many expres sions Os sympathy during the death of our husband and father. MRS. D. R. FAIRCLOTH MRS. D. R. FAIRCLOTH AND CHILDREN Winner Writes Os Scholarship By DIANE PEEDIN I was very honored to be chosen one of the 1969 L. R. Harrill Scholarship win ners. Mrs. L. R. Harrill sponsors two scholarships each year in her husband’s honor. Scholarship recipients are chosen on the basis of scholastic achievement and 4-H Club work. These and the twelve 4-H Develop ment Fund Scholarships are given to deserving 4-H’ers each year. All the scholarships are in the amount of SSOO. To receive one of these scholarships, one does not necessarily have to be a state winner or an A stu dent. A combination of above average grades and sincere participation in 4-H activities is what wins. Some of the most import ant things a 4-H’er can do are in the field of junior leadership. The service he gives to others is one quali fication a scholarship re cipient Should have. Because I know many of the 4-H’ers in this county, I am sure many of them have the potential to win a 4-H scholarship. However, some of those may drop out of 4-H without realiz ing what 4-H can mean to them. 'lf a 4-H’er wins a SSOO scholarship, it pays almost one-half of a year’s college costs. Even if he doesn't become a scholarship win ner, 4-H helps a young per son develop leadership and self confidence. It gives him the opportunity to travel and to meet people from all over the world. A 4-H’er is constantly exposed to learning situations and gets the chance to practice many new skills. Perhaps the most important contri bution 4-H can make to a young person is helping him get along with others. Dillard Faces Traffic Count Two motorists were seri ously injured in a head-on collision Thursday after noon on Highway 32, north of Small’s .Cross Roads. State Trooper C. T. Thomas said Lindsey Dil lard, 42-year-old Negro, Route 1, Tyner, was admit ted to Chowan Hospital with head and chest in juries. Mrs. Helen Stall ings Wiggins of Hobbsville was transferred to Norfolk General Hospital with ex tensive injuries. The 196*5 Chevrolet being operated by Dillard and the 1969 Ford operated by Mrs. Wiggins were both considered damaged beyond repair. Dillard was charged with improper passing. The trooper said investigation showed' he pulled out to pass a truck and met Mrs. Wiggins head-on. Wildlife Project The project I liked best was wildlife. In this pro ject I learned many things. One of these was how to identify fish. I had a lot of fun catching fish and it was nice to know what kind they were. I also learned something about snakes. There are about 40 different kinds of snakes in North Carolina, but only seven kinds are poisonous. Another thing I learned is how to identify birds. At the end of the year, I was surprised to know that I had seen and identified over 20 birds in my back yard. I built a bird house and I hope a bluebird fam ily will move in next spring. In 4-H a person learns many things and has fun, too. Bill Jordan. Apollo Launch Nickel stainless steel played an important role in the ground support equipment used for the Apollo 10 launch.
