Agriculturally
Speaking
• By RUSSELL C.KING
County t<tension Chit
Warren County is full
of small woodland
owners. One of the
biggest problems facing
these people is what to
do with trees on their
property that are killed
by insects and diseases,
or blown over by
storms. Many of these
trees are large enough
to cut into lumber, but
there are not enough to
make it practical to
carry to a mill.
One solution is to saw
the logs into lumber at
the site. There are
several commercially
made portable sawmills
now available. They can
be moved from site to
site and some can be
operated by one person.
Through a joint effort
of the N. C. Agricultural
Extension Service and
the N. C. Forestry
Service, a
demonstration of this
type of portable sawmill
will be conducted in
Warren County on
September 28. If you are
interested in more
information, please

Agricultural Extension
Service.
For Better Living
Summer Can Mean
Art Fairs For Many
By MISS MARGARET J. WOODS
Associate Home Extension Agent
Summer means art fairs in many North Carolina
cities and towns. Before you go, it's a good idea to
think through your interests and how much you
have to spend.
After all, since quality crafts require an invest
ment of money, they also deserve an investment of
time spent in study.
Look for publications featuring examples of good
design. Study exhibits at museums and displays.
Ask designers why they created particular items. If
you're interested in a particular craft, try to learn
as much as you can about its history and the
processes involved.
Quality crafts are not cheap, but you can find
good buys. The amount you spend will depend on the
type of craft item in which you're interested.
To insure quality and protection for your
investment, buy a signed piece or art work or ask
for a card that documents the materials and
techniques used.
The card should include the name and address of
the craftsperson. The producer of quality crafts
cares about what happens to an object he or she has
created and will appreciate genuine interest on the
part of the buyer.

Warren Campers
Honored For Work
By GEORGE W.
KOONCE
Extension Agent, 4-H
Eighteen of the 61
campers in the Warren
County group attending
Sertoma 4-H Camp near
Winston-Salem last
week were honored at
an awards banquet
ending the camp week.
Marc Rose, Natasha
Boyd and Deborah
Kersey each received
Environmental Educa
tion Awards for
outstanding participa
tion in various Outdoor
Living Skills classes;
Carrie "Kikki" Hawkins
and Anthony
Richardson received
Outstanding Beginning
Swimming Awards; and
Toiya Crump, Essie
Huey, Erinn Johnson,
Vonda Wilson, May line
Degrafenread, David
Hunter, Llywellyn
Limer, Sean Carter and
Frankie Johnson
received Outstanding
Participation Certifi
cates in Dramatic Arts
classes. Essie Huey
received two different
awards in Dramatic
Arts, awarded by
different instructors.
Also receiving awards
included little Susan
Talley who received
"The Spirit of 4-H
Award" from Advance
Swimming Instructor
Robert (Bobby) Hobbs
Erwin. Hobbs also
conferred the Advance
Swimming Award on
Mayiine Degrafenread
for her outstanding
participation in class
activities. Kennedy
Richardson received the
Outstanding Camper
Award for the week
from Warren County.
Kennedy was the
camper always found
assisting others, giving
service and
exemplifying leadership
and attitude as a
positive example to
others.
There are some who
make comparisons by
examples of chalk and
cheese that seems to be
quite different. This
may be the prime
example to use
comparing the camp
spirit of all the counties
camping with us this
year over those of last
year. The friendship of
Forsythe County and the
togetherness of
Camden, Currituck,
Pasquotank and
Perquimans counties
was all cheese to us.
During our week long
stay we heard echoes
from many campers
that the Warren group is
friendly and nice. We
must be thankful to
"little Susan" for
leading the way.
Words and time will
not permit us to tell of
the fullness of evening
singing and games,
carnival, dancing, trip
to Hanging Rock State
Park for hiking, more
swimming, and a picnic
supper; the live and
talented show
production on stage with
make-up and special
lighting and nightly
vespers; and the quiet
look of that rock chapel
on the hill. It was a
delightful and fulfilling
week*
Of all the adult
volunteer counselors in
the world, we must have
had four of the best To
Mrs. Ann Crawford,
Mrs. Portia Barnes,
Mrs. Eva S. Holtzman,
and Mrs. Johnie
Johnson; you were a
rock in a weary land, a
present help in time of
trouble, victorious
leaders of leaders.
Many thanks for your
volunteer hand in
building the future
leadership of Warren
County, the nation and
the world.
A special thanks to the
Warren County 4-H
Leaders' Association
and its camping
committee for
underwriting camp bus
transportation to the
tune of $620.00. Also to
R. H. Green Funeral
Home and Insurance, T.
T. Clayton, attorney and
Harris-Turner Funeral
Home for their financial
support in camp
transportation.
The motherly cooks
employed by the camp
during previous years
were missed this year as
management gave way
to catering service. It
didn't take long to tell
the difference at meal
time. The cold biscuits
funny-looking eggs and
bacon was enough for
anyone to cry, "mama,
mama, cook me
something to eat."
Truly this year's
camping was great for
staff and facilities, and
with just a little help to
the State Extension
Staff on food service
evaluation and odds and
ends here and there,
things could be super,
super for'83.
Don't Use
Too Much
Oven Heat
To operate range or
oven economically, use
only as much heat a»
necessary for cooking
Jobs. Turn range unite
off three uanutes and
oven units off 15 to 30
minutes before end at
cooking time.

Food For The Multitudes
Marine researchers are
raising a fish that—while two
won't feed 5,000 people
holds promise as a source of
food for multitudes. The fish
is called Tilapia and is believ
ed to be the same species
spoken of in the New Testa
ment when Christ fed 5,000
followers from five loaves of
bread and two fish. Modern
scientists are seeking to de
velop ways Tilapia can be
raised and harvested as a
crop.
