Half Of American Families Own One4 Automobile Or More Washington, Oct. 21—Fifty-one per cent of 50,400,000 American families own at least one automo bile. One out of 17 owns two or more. Seventy-seven per cent hold life insurance policies with premiums about $100 a year. Seventy-one per cent own a hoihe or a farm. But only nine per cent have an interest in a business, and only eight per cent own corporate stock. The federal reserve Board so re ported today on the basis of a sam ple survey it took early this year. It counts only those families living together and pooling incomes for expenses. Mcdowell 4-h'ers (Continued from first page) jtion; Gates, growing plants for transplanting; Stokes, sewing; and Cumberland, home beautification. In the Neg^o 4-H Club division, first place and $300 was awarded to Northampton county, with an ex hibit on citizenship; second place and $250 to Lenoir county, with a display showing a map of the coun ty and farm products grown; and third place and $225 to Granville county, with an exhibit showing re sults of an occupational study cov ering the years 1936-49. Two special 4-H exhibits showed North Carolina crafts and floor sanding and finishing. Among the craft products shown were baseball bats, model airplanes, rugs, leather and metal work, sewing, and lamp stands. Educational exhibits were shown by home demonstration cltib wo men as follcws: foods and nutri tion, Scotland County; food conser vation, Wilkes; clothing, Iredell; family life, Warren; arts and crafts, Buncombe; and general home demonstration work, Chowan. Three counties entered Negro home demonstration exhibits. They were: Alamance, clothing; Samp son, food and nutrition; Wilson, house furnishing. Each county entering a home demonstration exhibit received $200. three Mcdowell girls (Continued from first page) but also in her frozen foods and room improvement projects. She has helped to tell the public about 4-H club work through her P. T. A. and radio programs. In the wear and care of clothing contest this summer, Marilyn Brink ley of Route 3, Marion, was among the six girls of the state who were chosen as having the best demon strations. Marilyn, showing how to wash wool sweaters, presented her demonstration to the delegates at tending 4-H club week at Raleigh this year. Last year she was a dis trict winner in the junior canning contest after having canned more than 1,000 quarts of food for her family. lhese girls are putting into ac tion the 4-H motto, "To Make The Best Better," by searching for, us ing and presenting to others better methods in carrying out 4-H club work. The influence of 4-H train- j ing in the lives of these girls makes happier families, better managed homes and sounder communities ^ ROAMING JOHN (Continued from first page) pounds. John was strong in many ways, but he ^had his weaknesses and one' of his greatest was apples. He al most met his Waterloo eight years | ago when he was caught in a steel j trap while going after apples. It wasj there Dlight Rector, a game ward- j en, found Mm.. Reetor took one look at one of the largest black bears ever seem in this section and went for help. Then Roaming John lost his temper- He tore the steel trap to pieces and went his way. Gibbs and Freeman are members of the Mt. Mitchell Bear Hunting club. Those hunters will miss the sport of looking for the big, black fellow as they roam the mountains, but many a night when they spin yarns around a camp fire Roaming John will live on in their memories. WILDLIFE THEME (Continued from first page) encouraging the farmer to plant cover crops. Visiting Rotarians present at the meeting were Rhom Sparks and John Boyd, of Spruce Pine. Ed Mc Kinney, employee of the Auto Fin ance company, was welcomed as a new member, Alvin Rader, Marion High School honor student of the month, was junior Rotarian. Invest in U. S. Savings Bonds. HALLOWE'EN CARNIVAL \ (Continued from first page) ject will be discontinued this year. It was explained that even though proceeds of the contest were gratifying it had several disadvant ages; many children were keenly i disappointed by not winning out, those involved missed out on part | of the Hallowe'en fun, and the , teachers bore a heavy burden in j this project. i Two floors of the High School ; building are to be used. Most of the ' activities and fun booths will be | duplicated, one on the main floor i and one in the basements. Plans are to make this a lively carnival, gay, peppy and full of fun. The main show in the auditorium will be brief, giving most of the time for side shows and other attractions. A short spook play will be the starter,: followed by the Cake Walk and con cluding with the awarding of a prize to go to the two best Hallo we'en Costumes, one to a boy and one to a girl. The opening event will be in the, auditorium beginning at' 7:10 after j the crowd gets in. "The Ghost Fa mily Rehearsal," a short SpOoky play, will start things off. Mrs. William Conley and Mrs. G. W. Gilqs are presenting this playlet with the following cast: Father j Ghost, Ross Mcintosh; Mother' Ghost, Jeanette Cross; Junior Ghost, Matt Smith; Sister Ghost, Judy Finley; Baby Ghosts, Anne Burnette and-Joe Roland; Gramps Ghost, Lewis Roland; Other Ghosts, Carl Rhinehart, David Runnion, Virginia Hawkins, Joyce Robinson, Billy Waycaster, Merttie Ann Can non, Carolyn Wiatt, Mary Ruth Gordon, Joe Owensby, and Juan ita Callahan. The side shows and booths will not open until the above events in the auditorium are over. Following activities in the audi torium, guides dressed as ghosts will direct the crowd to the Baby Show, Hall of Horrors, the Movie, the Grab Bag, The Fun Room, The Win-A-Prize Wheel, The Fishing Booths, The Clown- Toss Games, The Dart Games, The Shooting Gal leries, The Fortune-Dart Booths, The Food Booths, The Comic Book Sale, and the Bingo tables. To amuse you in the Baby Show the following boys are lending their talents as comedians: Arnold Py att, Jr., Ikey McLain, Hubert Mar tin, Jr., Bill Suttle, Bill Smith, Jim my Hicks, Carl Moody, and Bobby Morris. In this connection, it is hoped that parents will give the young sters all the dimes they can spare for fun at the Carnival, resting as sured that the money will go to help the school. You will not be asked to contribute to a contest to select a King and Queen, but rather, the dimes you give will afford a pleas ure for your children at the same time they provide funds for the important work of the P.

Morris Ton can't afford to miss the Hallowe'en Carnival at the Eugene Cross School, Saturday night, Oc-: tober "29. It's the biggest Hallowe'-j en Carnival (and the most "be-; witching"),. Eugene Cross P. T. A.j has ever sponsored. It's a family af-| fair, with fun for everyone, fromj the littlest to the biggest. One of the main attractions (of: course), will be the refreshment; or Hot Dog stand, where delicious hot dogs, peanuts ice cream, cold! drinks, and coffee will be sold. \ And you'll eat with pleasure, know-; ing the proceeds from the refresh ments will go fpr two very impor tant P. T. A. objectives for the j school, a new piano and an attrac-! tive library for the children. The fish pond could not be left • out, and so you will really enjoy! fishing at the Carnival and you're j sure to "catch" something every time. There will be other surprise en tertainments and also prizes will be given. Now you won't have a "ghost" of a chance at the wonder ful door prize if you stay away. A prize also will be given the lucky boy and girl who are crowned King and Queen of the Eugene Cross Hallowe'en Carnival.
