MRS. WILMA DYKEMAN STOKELY
Mrs. Stokley Advises "Stay Home"
Mrs. Wilma Dykeman Stoke
ly, well-known author, spoke to
the students of Brevard College
in an assembly, April 20. She
gave an interesting and infor
mative talk on the people of
the mountains, their goals, and
ambitions.
The mountain people are
more intelligent than common
folklore holds them, according
to Mrs. Dykeman. She illustrat
ed this by the example of Mr.
Harry H. Straus, who began the
Ecusta Plant (now part of Olin
Mathieson.) He brought some
Germans over to teach the na
tives how to run it—they learn
ed in a tremendously short time.
She also said that the mountain
people, not merely the moun
tains, must be developed in
order to bring others in the
area.
Mrs. Dykeman illustrated her
speech with vivid descriptions
by urging the students to stay
in the mountains and make a
life here. Her well-constructed
speech has prompted the read
ing of many of her books which
are to be found in the Brevard
College library. Those books
are THE FRENCH BROAD,
NEITHER BLACK NOR WHITE,
SEEDS OF SOUTHERN
CHANGE, THE TALL WOMAN,
and PROPHET OF PLENTY.

From Table To Cabinets
Mrs. Ernest Riddle, Avery
county homemaker, was so
pleased with the table she re
finished at an Extension work
shop that she decided to tackle
the kitchen cupboards next.
“The cabinets turned out to
be a more difficult job than the
table,” Marie Scott, extension
home economics agent, notes.
Mrs. Riddle worked over a two
month period with assistance
from her husband, when he
could spare the time.
They removed seven coats of
enamel paint and a final coat
of black stain, which required
some bleaching. When they fi
nally reached the wood, they
discovered the cabinet was made
of wormy chestnut, with the
exception of two doors made of
white pine. Riddle was able to
locate enough wormy chestnut

The Riddles finished the cab

and replaced the old hardware
with black wrought iron.
Think Postive
If you dislike gardening,
change your attitude by think
ing about the benefits you get
in return, Mrs. Dorothy G. Wil
kinson, home economics exten
sion agent, Greenville county,
suggests.
Chances are the first bene
fits you’ll think of are the fresh
vegetables and fruit and beau
tiful flowers you’ll have. But
here are some other signs of
beauty you’ll receive:
(1) The excitement when the
first bud bursts into flower, (2)
The delicate breeze which
brings the fragrance of the rose
or the honeysuckle, (3) The
melody of the birds’ song, (4)
The colorful wings of the but

Make Studying Easier
“Studies in space, science and
the new math may be easier
for 4-H Club members in Guil
ford county who take advantage
of the 4-H study unit project,”
Mrs. Rosa T. Winchester, ex
tension home economics agent,
believes.
She points out that the work
shop will acquaint 4-H members
and leaders with the facilities
needed in a study unit, will
stress good lighting and will
teach 4-H’ers how to construct
a good study lamp.
Mrs. Winchester used low
cost materials when she made
the model unit. The bookcase
and desk were constructed of
cement blocks, pine boards and
a square of plywood. Accesso
ries, such as a pencil holder,
book ends, and waste baskets,
were designed from tin cans, ice
cream cartons, covered bricks
and cardboard.
After attending one work
shop a leader stated, “At times
I feel I have nothing to offer
my children in trying to help
them with their lessons. Modern
methods of teaching and new
subject matter has left a wide
breach between their grade
level and mine. Now I feel I
can have a part in encourag
ing their learning. I may not
be able to help them with their
lessons, but I can provide them
with a private study corner and
a good lamp.”
Help Fund Drive

Health chairman in 24 ex
tension Homemakers Clubs in
Bladen county assisted with the
county heart fund drive, Fleta
Harrelson, home economics ex
tension agent, says. The result
was encouraging. The contribu
tions collected from the rural
areas was the largest ever.
“This month the same leaders
are assisting with the Cancer
Crusade,” she adds.

Cathy, who easily becomes in

It is harvested and shipped to

care. Asparagus is a gourmet’s
delight, and fixed almost any
way is a superb treat. Don’t, oh,
please don’t, overcook it. This
green goodness should never be
limp and mushy from overcook
ing. The best way to cook it is
to tie in a bundle, stand on stalk
ends and in a minimum of salt
ed water; or in a deep pot, cov
er and steam cook until just
tender. For the best asparagus
remember these three things:
keep it moist, keep it cold and
cook it quickly. Always store in
your refrigerator vegetable
drawers.
