In spite of cool weather and . threatening rain two-hundred and twenty-five very enthusiastic girls and boys gathered to put on a pro gram that any citizen of Alamance County would be proud of. The program started at 10:30 A. M. with James Gilliam, Jr., Pres., Altamahaw 4-H Club, presiding over the meeting, and Ruth Cole man, Pres. Pleasant Grove 4-H Club serving as secretary. A lively program was rendered consisting of songs, devotional by Rev. R. P. Ellington, welcome by Mr. M. E. McKimmon, State Home Dem. Agent, and reports from the va rious Clubs over the County. These reports were given by the Club Presidents concerning the Club activities during the year. They were given with that genu ineness of Club spirit that showed they had entered the work whole heartedly and had worked with en thusiasm during the year and It was thoroughly revealed by some of the reports that there will be some keen competition among the Clubs at the County Fair this Fall. A generous Picnic Lunch was en joyed by all present and served as a stimulant to the interest and spirit created during the morning program. After lunch hour the Club members again entered the auditorium to continue the pro gram for the afternoon. A Health Playlet was given with several of! the Home Agent's Clubs partici pa ting. This was followed by each | Club giving a stunt. Probably the most outstanding | feature of the afternoon program was the presentation of the Health! Champions of Alamance County.

The rest of the afternoon was de voted to recreation on the school grounds with Miss Bessie Holmes and Miss Louise Homewood in charge. MYRTLE FLOYD, Home Dem. Agent. W. KERR SCOTT, County Agent. Mrs. M'Kimmon Is Honored By Students A student loan fund amounting now to nearly $700 which will be used to help 4-H girls pursue a col-1 lege education in home economics has been established in honor of | ! Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon through j the joint action of the North Car-1 I olina Home Demonstration Clubs. The movement had its inception in the heart and mind of Mrs. Es telle T. Smith, district agent who in an address before the home' agents at their conference in De-( cember 1927 suggested that such a fund might be started as a token of affection for Mrs. McKimmon and in recognition of her lifelong work for farm women and girls. The response was enthusiastic. The agents association then de cided that the State Federation of home demonstration clubs might want a part in the movement and so the matter Was presented to them. At first the federation agreed to donate $50 each year. This was done the first year but at the an nual meeting held in July, 1929, the farm women were so enthusiastic ever the matter that the treasurer was instructed to take pledges from he floor. The sum of $366 was pledg ed by individuals, county councils and clubs. Finally is was decided to combine the supervision of the fund and this was done on July 30, 1929, when a resolution was passed by the Feder ation of Home Demonstration clubs calling for a board of three mem bers from the Federation and two members from the Home Agents ' Association to raise and administer the fund. The resolution was ap proved by the home agents at their Do you really know your cigarette? YOU'RE PARTICULAR about the other things that are so intimate a part of your personality. What about your cigarettes? There are several hundred grades of leaf tobacco. What kind of cigarette do you smoke ? If you smoke Camels you smoke the choicest tobaccos grown. For the famous Camel blend is based on the use of tobaccos of superlative quality. It is only from them that you can expect that smooth, rich, mellow mildness and that fragrance and aroma found in such perfection in Camels. We buy the right tobaccos .. . the very choicest delicate leaves of Turkish and Domestic. In their curing and preparation we use the most modern and scientific methods. And we alone possess the knowledge of the marvelous Camel blend. That's why Camel is able to furnish real cigarette pleasure to more millions than have ever given their patronage to any other cigarette. Don't deny yourself the luxury of Camels ? 19)0, R.
