4-H Records Duo
4-H records will be due on
October 20, and after that date
a record will be penalized if it
is late.
4-H Bridges The Gap
Thousands of 4-H members,
leaders, and professional staff
can help bridge the uhderstand
ing gap between individuals,
between states, between na
tions. A program for school as
semblies involving 4-H mem
bers are being planned for pre
sentation during National 4-H
Week (October 3 - 9) here in
Transylvania. The play entitled,
“Pig of My Dreams” is a
comedy on the life of Jimmy
Baret, a young striving boy
with determination and a deep
love of country life.
Exchange Trip
Any 4-H’ers or 4-H parents
who can keep a boy or girl
from Burke County the week
end of September 24 - 26,
please call 883-2780, as this is
very important. A group of
Burke County 4-H members
will be a part of an exchange
program for Transylvania Coun
ty during the weekend. Let’s
show our 4-H spirit to them!
National Citizenship Awards
“Yeung people today are
deeply concerned about the
welfare of America. While
much has been written about
the drug scene, campus riots
and rebellious radicals, these
reports do not truly portray
what most of America’s young
people are attempting to say
and do,” says Norman C. Min
drum, director of the National
4-H Service Committee.
There are opportunities for
speeial recognition in citizen
ship. Annually an outstanding
4-H boy and girl epitomizing
this highest in citizenship
achievement are honored na
tionally. The Cooperative Ex
tension Service selects these
winners of $600 educational
scholarships, expense-paid trip
to National 4-H Congress in Chi
cago and a silver tray given in
the name of the President of
the United States.
The program was established
in memory of Thomas E. Wil
son who served as president of
the National Committee from
1924 through 1958. A pioneer
Chicago meat packing execu
tive, Wilson was instrumental
in helping to shape the lives of
nearly two generations of young
people and it is fitting that the
special 4-H citizenship awards
be presented in his name, Di
rector Mindrum said.
Coincidentally, the 1970 na
tional citizenship award recipi
ents were both from Oklahoma.
Latriece Baker 18, of Carter,
a 4-H member for nine years,
entertained the elderly in the
very first years of her 4-H in
volvement. Later she collected
toys and clothes for those less
fortunate. And as a junior
leader she coached a “pee-wee”
girls basketball team.
She summed up part of her
feelings by saying: “The time
of need is a never-ending pro
cess. Whether I am needed in
Chicago, New York, Washing
ton, D. C., or rural Oklahoma,
that is where I’ll go because
there is nothing I enjoy more
than helping my fellowman and
my country.”
Larry Shockey, 17, of Chicka
sha, also has worked consistent
ly over the last nine years with
lower-income and less advan
taged persons. “I hope always
to be a concerned 4-H’er seek
ing to accept challenges, to im
prove methods, solve problems
and assist others,” Shockey
says.
This year a boy and girl from
each of 47 states and Puerto
Rico will be considered for the
national 4-H citizenship honors.

4-H citizenship program, con

Garden Chores For September
With the first early morning
“feel” of autumn—a prediction
of things to come—you’ll want
to take care of these early-fall
tasks:
1. Spray roses for diseases;
rake and remove all leaves that
fall from the plants.
2. Ee-pot house plants that
are to be kept in the house all
winter. Use rich garden soil,
mixing in a little sand; or pur
chase packaged potting soil
from your garden center.
3. Mark trees that are growing
in the woods—to be transplant
ed later. They are easy to
identify now while they still
have leaves.
4. Secure bulbs for planting
in late September, October and
November.
Litteiing Is Expensive
After September 1, it’ll be
even more expensive to get
caught littering highways. In
an effort to keep North Caro
lina beautiful, the 1971 General
Assembly enacted a law where
by the fine for Uttering goes up
from $50 to $200. Littering in
cludes everything from a candy
bar wrapper to a trunk load of
trash. Let’s hope this will aid
in keeping natural beauty beau
tiful.
Open House—N. C. S. U.
A committee has been form
ed to coordinate plans for a lo
cal delegation to attend an an
nual Open House program Oc
tober 9 at North Carolina State
University in Raleigh.
Ben Burgess of First Citizens
Bank and Trust Company is
chairman of the Transylvania
County committee. He said the
Open House program will be
presented by the university’s
School of Agriculture and Life
Sciences and School of Forest
Resources.
The committee will assist lo
cal people who want to attend
the event.
Open House, which drew an
estimated 80 people to the Ra
leigh campus last year from
Transylvania County, is held
for high school students and
their school advisors who would
like to learn about hundreds of
career opportunities in agri
culture, forestry and the biolog
ical sciences.
Anyone interested in at’end
ing the Open House should con
tact their science or vocational
teachers at Rosman or Brevard
Senior High Schools. Due to
transportation there will be a
limit to the number who may
attend.

A new long-acting drug sim
ilar to methadone is now being
tried as a substitute for her
oin. L-methadyl acetate sup
presses the hunger for narcot
ics for more than, twice as
long as methadone.
The advantage seems to be
that patients will reduce the
frequency of visits to a clinic
and diminish the possibility of
illicit distribution of metha
done by the heroin addict him-,
self.
The preliminary reports
about this drug are exciting
and further results bear
watching v 'th interest.
