Club Women Profit
By Canning, Handiwork And
Making Novelties
Mr*. J. D. White, ol Franklin
County, is one of many Home
Demonstration Club women who
tore learned how to supplement
their farm Ipcomes by home can
ning, handiwork, and the manu
facture of novelties which are
easily and profitably sold.
In 1931 Mrs. White attended a
canning demonstration in Dur
ham, at which she learned how
simple it was to can in tin. She
b?ught a can sealer and a pres
sure cooker to make her equip
ment adequate. The first year she
canned all of the soap, fresh veg
etable, and fruits her family could
ase, and sold enough tw pay for
her equipment. The next year she
sold enough cans to give her a
profit of $76.00 above what her
family used.
Mrs. White now has 34 regular
customers In North and South
Carolina, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, and Pennsylvania who
buy her soup mixtures, string
beans, butter beans, field peas,
corn, squash, and okra. In 1939
they bought enough to give Mrs.
White a profit of $175.90 for her
summer's work.
Profitable Copper Work
Mrs. Peter Dean, of Cedar Rock
Home Demonstration Club, Louis
burg, Route 4, took up copper
work a few years ago as a hobby.
She made a few pieces for herself,
liked the work, and now makes
beautiful pieces for sale. Mrs.
Dean has an open work-shed in
her back yard, equipped with a
heavy work bench, tin snips, sand
bags and hammers. This affords
her a convenient place to work
and is large enough to use in giv
ing instructions in copper work
to a small group as she often does
to women in her own county and
surrounding counties. The copper
she uses is obtulped from stills
confiscated by the county officers.
Women who come in from other
counties for instruction usually
bring! their copper with them.
L During the summer Mrs. Dean
attended Camp Leach with a
group of men and women from
Nash County and gave instruction
in copper work. In addition to
making friends and having a good
time during the week, Mrs. Dean
received orders for a number of
trays and nut and fruit bowls.
She makes many things from
copper.. Included are ash trays,
vases, trays, nut bowls, fruit
howls, matchbox holders, letter
openers, fireside baskets, plaques.
' and napkin holders. She is al
ways on the lookout for new sug
gestions of things to be made of
copper.
Since May of 1939 Mrs. Dean
. reports that she has received
|64. 46 for copper articles sold and
for instruction In copper work.

INCREASED TRAVEL SHOWN
BY GASOLINE CONSUMPTION
Raleigh, Jan. 23. ? Increased
travel in North Carolina during
1939 is shown by the large in
crease in gasoline used, tihe total
amounting to 419,188.971 gal
lons, it was pointed out today by
officials ot the state advertising
division of the Department of
Conservation and Development.
This Is an increase of 23,563,299
gallons over the amount used in
1938 and an increase of more than
37,000,000 gallons over the
amount) used in 1937. According
to figures obtained from the gaso
line tax division of the Depart
ment of Revenue motorists paid
883,837,794 for this gasoline at
an average of 20 cents a gallon.
On the basis of figures worked
out by the American Automobile
Association, 65 per cent of this
gasoline was used by passenger
cars and 35 per cent* by trucks.
The AAA also has worked out fig
ures showing that passenger cars
now average 14 miles to the gal
lon and trucks 10 miles to the
gallon.
This means that pasnenger cars
in North Carolina last year used
272,472,831 gallons of gasoline
and trucks 146.716,140 gallons.
In terms of miles, passenger
cars traveled almost four billion
miles in the state last* year, or
3,814,619,634 miles, while trucks
traveled almost a billion and a
half miles, or 1.467,161,400 miles.
One passenger car would have
to travel around the world 152,
584 times In order to equal the
number of miles traveled by pas
senger cars In North Carolina
during 1939, without considering
the 1.467,161.400 miles traveled
by trucks.
It is estimated that at least
3,000,000 people in 1.000,000 pas
senger cars from other states vis
ited North Carolina during 1939.

Investigation
Raleigh, Jan. 24. ? Investiga
tors for the beer industry will

table places of business.
Edgar H. Bain, of Qoldsboro,
State Director of the Brewers and

Committee, announced today thdt
the industry's "clean up or close
up" campaign has resulted in the
revocation of 40 licenses in 13
counties, and revocation proceed
ings against a score of other deal
ers in fight counties.
"A great majority of beer deal
ers conduct reputable places of
business," Colonel Bain said, "but
there is a minority which disre
gards the law and public decency.
Our campaign Is directed at these
scattered outlets. During the next
11 months, our field representa
tives will check on Ohese outlets
and when necessary, we will re
quest the county officials to re
voke their licenses."
In recent months, dealers in
Buncombe, Mecklenburg, Gull
ford, Iredell, Gaston, Columbus,
Brunswick, Lenoir, Haywood,
Henderson, Burke, and Wayne
counties have lost their licenses
through efforts of our committee
and local enforcement officers.
Petitions requesting the revoca
tion of licenses are now pending
before county boards of commis
sioners of Richmond, Craven. Le
noir, Alamance, Cabarrus, Tran
sylvania, Buncombe and Rowan
counties. Colonel Bain said.
Roy Dail of tihe Conetoe 4-H
Club has been declared champion
