JONES Here comes the Cricket Home Demonstration Club in March formation—since it is the second day of the windy month—27 of us 'blew in to Selma's (Mrs. E. R. Ellfer's) home and warmed our toes and nose an^ loosened our tongues. Some of us like to get there early to visi,t with our fellow workers. When we were all comfortably located and two o'clock came our president, Mrs. Turner, called us t0 order. Mrs. Nora Eller led the devotionals, which reminded us of our obligations to God and to our fellow men. Unfinished business took but little time. We discussed under new business several things of local interest and heard reports. Announcements were made of the meetings on landscaping, the tea for Miss Morrison and Miss Thompson, our new assistant agent, the recreational school in Elkin and also", the tea Miss Finle® and Miss Stone are giving the club women on March 30. We decided to feed the Jaycees whenever they are hungry enough to arrange a date, Mrs. Carlson Wagner did a fine piece of work demonstrating to us how to improve our sewing, emphasizing making button holes and setting in zippers. She had done a great deal of work preparing materials, for each of us, furnished tlieih, and even did part of the sewing. She made it so plain even I could understand how to put a zipper in my skirt, take pretty tucks and improve my bound button holes. After this perhaps we will have "The Tailored Look." We found we were not doing so well with selling on Curb Market. Perhaps several of our members 'are like me—eat everything at home. I do think we should respond in a larger way. We are all good cooks and lets show how accomplished we are by sending foods of all kinds as well as other things. Speaking of good cooks, our refreshments proved proved the fact. Our hostesses^ in addition to Mrs. Eller, were Mrs. Edd Brookshire, Mrs. Walter Watts, and Mrs. Calmer Dyer. o Hog support prices have been set at 90 per cent of parity through March 1950. — o ■ During the week ending February 1§, chick placements in the Wilkes area totaled 153,000. Safety Measures For Bicycle Users Raleigh — Have you seen Willie the Weaver? He may be only a 10 year old boy, but he's a public menance just the same, acording to the North Carolina Highway Safety Division of the Department of Motor Vehicles. He's the kid who threads his bicycle through the traffic on our streets as if he were darning a sock — risking his life and- limbs and those of every motorist who has to jam on his brakes to keep from grinding hike and boy to a powder. "Most of out youngster know how to ride their ihicycles^" said S. Li. Gaynor, Director of the Safety Division. "And most of them ride well. But a few smartes will always try to show off. And when a kid gets hurt or killed riding his bike in traffic, sometimes it is the motorist's fault — but sometimes it's because the bicycle rider was stunting, or weaving in and out of traffic." "Traffic rules, signs and signals, and courtesy rules are for bicycle riders, too," Mr. Gaynor said. Here are seven safe cycling tips from "Operation Safety," the Safety Division's continuing traffic safety program : 1. If you ride your bike in the street, keep well to the right side and ride in the same direction as the automobiles. 2. Ride in a straight line — don't weave or stunt. 3. Ride bikes in single file. 4. Ride alone - never try tc carry a passenger. 5. Stop for red lights and stoj r ML! V 1 rtfi ■ ~ -*■=& _ signs, and laws when 6. Never a motor 7. Avoid posible.
