They make talks, give demonstrations, see demonstra tions given by their farm and home agenta, study approved methods of conducting their farm and home projects, and adjourn, resolving to make their best still better. Each club meeting is, within itself, a little democracy— the four freedoms are expressed throughout each session. Back at home or on the farm these same boys and girls go about their jobs of doing worth- 9,whlle activities as seriously as any ^tedier In the front ranka. Rea- jWag that It takes soldiers .at ^ome to keep soldiers on the bat- Hlefront, they put forth every ef fort to do their Jobs efficiently— whether It be raising chickens or mgnodeling a dress. “America. Jl^ can count on me” Is their motto. Their fighting is being done witlt gardea tools, as they put a real drive behiad the prodncdon of tbd family food supply; eiibaing equiment, as they pre serve tms food by caanlag, stor- iag aad drylag; with pots and paas, as they prepare wholesoare meals for their families as part of the job of building good health; with scissors, needles and thread, as' they help meet their clothing problems. The battles they will fight are against hunger, tear, discomforts and 111-healUi and are for the preservation of oar American way of life. Their strategy will be the wise use of head, hMrt, hands and health.

These leaders are within walking distance of the clnb memIwfrt with whom they are to work and will be trained to help each individual to do a bet ter job. What finer wartime job could a man or woman undertake than guiding the young people in his or her neighborhood in worth while activities which not only will strengthen 4-H Club work, but will aid Immeasurably In win ning this horrible war. The 4-H army, composed of fine, robust, physical fit boys and girls and of neighborhood leaders who are guiding the boys and girls, can be counted on to “stick to its guns” and its "aim l.s straight.” 4-H OLUB .AOrOlVtPUSH. ktBNTS IN 1942 Special Wartime Activities Salvage material collected: Scrap metal 454,034 lbs.

Weaver, agricultunl extension engineer et N. C. SUte College. Great progress has been made in rural electrification in recent years. According to Weaver, three In every ten of North Caro lina’s 278,000 farms now have central stalldn electric service, and nine-tenths of the electrified farms havs Vignn to use elec tric service during the last eight years. Since the passage of the Rural BlectrlflcaUon Act In 1936, thir ty-two electric distribution sys tems have been established end they now supply electricity to 36,276 farms and other rural consumers. The extension of ser vice to these customers was made possible through $12,820,690 ad^ vanced loans by the Rural Elec trification Admlnlstmtion to fin ance 11,519 miles of lines and other facilities. A new liberalized order of the War Production Board may make it possible to extend electricity to hundreds of additional North Carolina farms engaged In the production of such vital war foods as meats, poultry, eggs and milk, says Weaver. Farms eligible to receive service under the new or der are those located near exist ing rural power lines and those which meet certain minimum war food production requirements. V im Living CMii' are slowly rising but still lag tar behind' the rate of 1914-20,’reporta of the’Lfher De^raent inlHeate. y n ,jncrease of iS.i per'cent is estiiSttisd for the jjerlod from Sept. 1, 1939, to Janiiiiiry of this yean ss compared than 40 pelf cent In the comparable period of the First World War. Prentiss M. Brown, chief of OPA, has said that “we will be doing well If we hold the rise in the cost of living to on«-half of one per cent a month.’’ An in- 421^ of exacUy that proportion occurred from tie middle of Jan-^ uary to mid-February. The current price movement has been steadily higher for two years, end what point It might have touched by now without price con trols Is conjectural. When Leon Henderson quit the OPA he esti mated that consumers had been saved $6,000,000,000 in living costs and the government $25.- 000,000,000 on munitions and construction. The sharp advance began in March, 1941, grew much steeper right after' Pearl Harbor, and flattened out with the imposition of price controls during April of last year. V Eire reports that while queues for automobile licenses are mis- ing this year, the demand for dog licenses is as grreat as ever.
