Member Derives Much From Extension Assoc. By MRS. RICHARD IIOLTZMANN The Extension Homemakers Association means a lot to me. It has helped me in many ways. One thing the Extension Homemakers Association provides is an opportunity for leadership. It has helped me to be a good lesson leader in our local club and also be an officer in our local and county meetings. Extension Homemaking means working with others in carrying out projects, presenting programs. and helping nonmembers in various ways. I look forward to these meetings. We always have good, interesting and informative programs on a wide variety of subjects. Through these educational programs, I always learn something new and interesting. The Extension Homemakers Association also means fellowship. Being a member has given me the pleasure of meeting and getting to know ladies in other communities in our county. By attending district and state meetings I get to know members in other parts of North Carolina. Each year we usually take a one-day bus trip to some place of interest. In 1979 we toured and shopped at the pottery plant at Lightfoot, Va. Everyone who went had an enjoyable time. The Extension Homemakers Association means fun too. Programs on simple electrical and plumbing repairs, conservation of energy and on preparing tasty economical meals are just a few of the programs that have helped me save money. Workshops on various subjects such as refinishing furniture and sewing are also available to Extension Homemakers members. These help us save money. Being a member has helped me become a better homemaker and a better person. If any of you ladies are interested in becoming a member of this rewarding organization please contact me or one of our Warren County Extension Agents, Miss Emily Ballinger or Mrs. Bertha Forte. Phone number 257-3640. BUDDY'S WORKSHOP Repoiring Wooden Columns The from porch has wooden columns made of sections of wood glued together to form a round post. The winter weather has split the wood in several places. Deep separations show and the paint is chipping. What would be a good filler to use for the cracks? While ihe weather is still cool, use a good glazing com pound to fill the cracks. Low humidity causes the wood to shrink and cool, dry weather will make the cracks more prominent The wood must be thoroughly dry before apply ing the glazing compound After the compound has dried lor several days, repaint the column While checking the roof this spring, I noticed that the flashing on the corners of the chimney have separated. Can I repair the corners or will I need to replace the flashings? You (ail repair the flashings with an asbestos fibercd asphalt root patching compound. Spread a generous amount of the asphall'ewinpound'Wver the flashing and extend the coating three inches or more on each side of the separation. Cut a strip of burlap slightly smaller than the area and press or roll it into the compound until it seeps through the weave. With a trowel, apply another layer of the roofing <om|Miund over the burlap, extending about an inch beyond the burlap on each side. We have a small file cabinet made of hard plastic. The color does not harmonize with the other furnishings in the room. Is there a special kind of paint that will stick to hard plastic? Yes. hard plastic t an be painted successfully with an aerylu sign paint Regular acrylic latex wall or house paint will not hold up. Scrub the plastic with steel wool and then use denatured alcohol to remove any excess dirt or film When the cabinet is dry. apply the acrylic sign paint.

GILFORD, WILBUR AND CHARLIE May 11-28 Soil Stewardship Week The Warren Soil and Water Conservation District will join in the nationwide celebration of Soil Stewardship Week to take place May 11-28, Nat White, chairman of the district, announced yesterday. New Club To Be Formed Homemakers in the Elams Community will meet Wednesday. May 14. at 7 p m.. in the Elams Community Center for the purpose of organizing an Extension Homemakers Club The club to be organized is open to all people without regard to race, color, national origin or sex. "If you live in or near the Elams Community, plan now to attend the meeting and become a member of this educational organization, with affiliations at the local, county, district, state and national levels." Mrs. Bertha B. Forte, home economics extension agent, said. The theme of this year's celebration is "The Judgment of Nature " Its focus is especially appropriate as the United States considers the current condition of its soil, water, and related natural resources. White said. "Through nature, we are linked with the past and committed to the future." White said. "Nature is neither fixed nor static: it is a continuing process and inherently dynamic...it rewards care and constructive attention. even as it penalizes negligence and deliberate damage "The loss of some three million acres of productive agricultural land each year through urbanization and other uses, the decline in productivity of the topsoil as the result of destructive erosion, and continuing pollution of the nation's waters is serious cause for everyone's concern," he said "Participation in Soil Stewardship Week activities offers an opportunity to reflect on the nation's natural resource problems and to consider actions to resolve them or reduce their impact." Since 1955 the National Association of Conservation Districts has sponsored Soil Stewardship Week in the United States in Cooperation with the nation's nearly 3,000 Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Informative material on the Soil Stewardship Week is distributed to clergymen, lay leaders, civic, and educational organizations. More than 6.6 million pieces of literature were distributed last year Information for the 1980 celebration of Soil Stewardship Week can be obtained from the Warren Soil and Water Conservation District Office Volcano Islands I In- Hawaiian Islands grew liom a chain of volcanoes.
