Distaff Deeds This Quilting Party Goes on for 40 Years By JANICE CHRISTENSEN This would be a good picture even without the bear. The three-month-old cub visited Orton Plantation recently on a tour of the state promoting the North Carolina Zoological Park. A bond issue vote for the zoo will be included on Saturday's primary ballot and should pass: the zoo wilt pay its own way and return many times the amount of the bond in tourist dollars for the state. j Margaret Harper believes this is the year when the voters of North Carolina will elect a woman to a high post in stare government. She wants to be that woman. She otters her qualifications as a successful business woman, a leader ot proven ability in several state organizations and a record for conscientious performance ot duty on numerous state commissions and committees on which she has served. She has demonstrated her political stamina in a statewide campaign during which she has shared the platform on numerous occasions with the four men who are seeking the office of Lt. Governor. She has earned the respect of candidates for other state offices whom she has met at rally after rally across the state. There is a growing feeling that her name on the ballot will be a major asset to the Democratic ticket in the General Election in November. “cMargaigt HaifteC LIEUTENANT * GOVERNOR Aunt Dinah’s quilt ing party may have been a pleasure to sing about, but homemakers in Alamance County are enjoying Uncle Eli’s quilting party. And they have for 40 years. Each year, on the first Thursday of April, homemakers gather for a quilting party that lasts all day and that involves meeting new friends, reminiscing with old friends, and sharing lunch. For years the event was sponsored by the Eli Whitney School PTA. But now home makers interested in maintaining the tradi tion head up the activity. Ladies from all over the county are invited to bring a quilt, friends to help quilt and lunch. This year’s quilting party was a big success. Over 60 women gath ered to quilt and talk, says Mrs. Rebecca Clough, assistant home economics extension agent. “In fact,” she adds, “Uncle Eli would have been proud of the steady hum that sounded off at his quilting party this year.” BEAR RUG After seeing a “friendly bear’’ rug, Mrs. Roscoe Butler, Rowan County, decided to make one for each grandchild. The rug is made from two yards of fake fur 60 inches wide, ex plains Edith Hinshaw, extension home eco nomics agent. The .bear’s head is formed with a pillow. Mrs. Butler re ceived one more request for a rug. Her son Robby, a sophomore at N. C. State University, wanted to carry one I 1 back to campus with him. “The rugs are great for children and teen agers to lounge on,’’ the agent notes. SPECIAL 4-H CLUB Alexander County is proud of all its 4-H Clubs, but it’s espe cially proud of the “Special Ed” club at Hiddenite. For that club is made up of youngsters of various ages who need a “little more help” in coping with school.
