They are “How Do We Attract
and Act with Boys?”, “What is
Our Responsibility to Others?”,
and“How Do We Handle Pres
sures?”. and ‘What is My Duty
to God?”.
Handling these questions will
be authorities in their fields, a

the Peace Corps, a psychiatrist,
a minister, and as Miss Norwood

I Health Hints 1
Ever wpnder why we seem to
catch colds in winter months
just before that big date or be
fore the weekend guests ar
rive?
Well, we’re more apt to catch
colds when we’re tired and run
down, according to the makers
of Coryban-D cold capsules.
And rushing around getting
ready for any big occasion can
be energy-sapping.
To make that special occasion
really “special,” however, the
company offers this advice:
★ Try to stay out of crowds
before the big date: a simple
sneeze can travel a distance of
three feet.
if Avoid chilling and wet
feet.
★ Eat well-balanced meals—
despite a hectic schedule. You’ll
be giving your body an im
portant advantage, one that can
help ward off colds.
if Make a “nap” part of your
routine when getting ready for
that special occasion.

Frosty The News Man
You don’t need snow to build
a snowman, members of the
Middleburg 4-H Club, Vance
county discovered. All it takes
is newspaper, a plastic bag, cot
ton and twine.
According to Jane Carter, as
sistant home economics exten
sion agent, the 4-H’ers wadded
and crushed newspapers and
stuffed them into a plastic bag.
Then they crushed the stuffed
bag and shaped it into the form
of a snowman. They used the
twine to help shape his waist
and neck.
“The plastic bag began to
look more like a snowman when
the 4-H’ers covered it with glue
and white cotton and decorat
ed it with eyes ,nose, mouth,
buttons and a hat fashioned
from construction paper,” Miss
Carter said. “The final touch
came when they placed a scarf
around the snowman’s neck.”
“Frosty, the newspaper snow
man, was more durable than
most snowmen. He was around
for all the Christmas festivities,”
Miss Carter added.

Stay At Home Paid Off
“I found it is better for my
family and for me if I stay at
home rather than work away
from home,” Mrs. Roger How
ell, Rt. 3, Kings Mountain, ob
serves.
Mrs. Howell, the mother of
four children, decided to go to
work in a local mill. Later she
changed her mind. After con
sidering all things, she decided
that with her sewing and drap
ery making skills and the tools
and equipment she possessed,
she would do better to resume
home sewing as a source of in
come.
Thelma E. McVea, home eco
nomics extension agent, Cleve
land county, says Mrs. Howell
receives top prices for the ex
tra sewing she does. In fact she
usually averages more than
$40 a week and has a chance
to do her homemaking tasks,
too.
“Other homemakers may do
well to consider the pros and
eons of working outside the
home before they accept a
job,” Miss McVea concludes.
Applies What He Learns
Members ot the Perrytown
4-H Electric Club, Bertie coun
ty, learned how to repair plugs
and sockets at their November
meeting. And not too long af
terward 4-H’er Gary Miller had
a chance to apply his know
ledge. He repaired a family
lamp. Gary’s sister Janet is hop
ing another lamp will need
“surgery” soon. “She was at
the same 4-H meeting and wants
a chance to show off her skill.”
Mrs. Carolyn W. Lawrence, as
sociate home economics ex
tension agent, says.
Contribute To Birth Defects
Evaluation Center
Members of Cherokee County
Home Demonstration Clubs gave
a Christmas love offering to
the Western Carolina Birth De
fect Evaluation Center in Mor
ganton, Joy Frauson, home
economics extension agent, re
ports. This center has been in
operation about one year, she
adds.
Don’t Discard It — Use It
“Don’t discard anything that
can be made into something
useful,” Ms. W. W. Lowey, Rt.
1, Tenton, Jones county, advis
es.
Recently Mrs. Lowery dis
covered some old drapes that
had been stored away. They
were too good to toss out so
she used one pair for a win
dow treatment in a bedroom and
the other pair to make a match
ing bedspread.
“Instead of discarding the
old drapes, Mrs. Lowery found
them a useful way to redecorate
the bedroom at very little cost,”
Patricia Ann Peterson, assist
ant home economics extension
agent, obesrves.

Apples are favorite food
from “the cradle to the grave.”
We grow up hearing: “An ap
ple a day keeps the doctor
away.” This wonderful fruit is
unbelievably varied in texture
and taste. There are hundreds
of ways of preparing apples, all
delicious — from 'touching a
raw one to creating a gourmet
delight in “Apple Baked Alas
ka ” Here are some of my fav
orite apple recipes 1 believe
you’ll enjoy.

a ball. Take off the heat and
beat in the eggs, one at a time,
vigorously with a wooden spat
ula and set aside to cool. Us
ing a pastry bag and large tube,
make twists of the batter, like
a snail. Drop into hot fat—375
