Aycock Given Promotion M. Kenneth Aycock, Jr., of Greenbelt, Md. (Prince Georges County) has been named interim agronomy department chairperson in the College of Agriculture at the University of Maryland. Dr. Aycock succeeds James R. Miller, who retired on June 30 after 27 years of service to the state's agricultural community. A faculty member at the College Park campus since 1966, Aycock is well-known among the nation's professional tobacco research workers. More than twothirds of Marylaid s tobacco crop is f >wn from varieties wuich Aycock helped to develop in cooperation with the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station. In addition to development of new varieties, Aycock has been involved in cooperative research on disease resistance, fertilization response and air pollution effects on Maryland tobacco. In 1970 the University of Maryland's College of Agriculture alumni chapter honored him with its "Excellence in Research" award. The Northeastern branch of the American Society of Agronomy presented him with its annual research award in 1982. A native of Elberon, in Warren County, Aycock holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from North Carolina State University and a Ph.D. degree in plant breeding from Iowa State University. Work Is Published {Continued from page IB) A multimedia exploration of "Look Homeward, Angel," Wolfe's foremost work, each seminar is free to the public through a cooperative agreement between the university and the Agricultural Extension Service in participating counties. In addition to the history of North Carolina 4-H in action, Dr. Clark has published material on the works of Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Wolfe and a variety of other 19th- and 20th-century American writers. At present he is at work on a piece about Mark Twain. Work on the 4-H history was begun in 1978 and required six years to complete. The title "Clover All Over" emphasizes the spread of organized 4-H clubs into all of the state's 100 counties. Prior to his composition of the book, Dr. Clark was recognized with a statewide 4-H alumni award. He has also served in a series of offices of the 4-H Honor Club and was its president m 1981 when this organization was recognized by the N. C. General Assembly for 50 years of service and support to the state's 4-H and youth program. Copies of this 4-H history, which is of interest both locally and statewide, can be obtained from the Office of 4-H and Youth, Box 7606, NCSU, Raleigh, N. C. 27695. Each copy costs $9. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go into a fund to develop 4-H further in North Carolina. A copy of "Clover All Over" is in the Warren County Memorial Library and the Warren County Agricultural Extension Office. Dr. Clark is certainly to be commended for this most interesting history.

He was Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives under President Thomas Jefferson. Among the oldest items in the exhibit are two silver spice casters (shakers) attributed to Charles Adam (1697-1718), and owned by Christopher Gale, first chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. Several furniture pieces designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959) and made by Henredon Furniture Industries, Inc. of Morganton, are in the exhibit. Other furniture includes a 1789 blanket chest from Cabarrus County and a pine huntboard from the Jacque and Juliana Busbee collection. North Carolina's famous pottery areas are represented with several important pieces including several jugs and pitchers of different glazes. Ellington explained that the exhibit is designed to highlight recently acquired pieces. "These items illustrate the wide range of objects North Carolinians used throughout the years," he said. He pointed out the ca. 1946 RCA black and white television set, with a rounded, movable magnifying glass placed hi front of the screen to increase the size of the image. A porcelain chamber pot with "Yar borough House" painted on the outside recalls the days when the well-known Raleigh hotel served as a homeaway-from-home for legislators and visitors. The most recent acquisition is a beautiful handmade hammered dulcimer with carved dogwood and cardinal decorations, reminding us of our talented mountain artisans. ■ Uniform pieces, worn by military personnel from the 1800s to 1955, include Civil War cavalry boots, a ca. 1820 infantry coat and a Women's Army Corps trench coat, overcoat and suit, ca. 1950. Old toys will take some visitors back to their own childhoods while the younger visitors may see what their parents or grandparents used for amusement, such as a child's folding desk, an 1890s horse pull toy, a dollbed and folding ironing board. A multipurpose piece combining a lamp stand, clock holder and ashray, made of rhododendron root, marked "NRA/Blowing Rock, NC," (ca. 1935), was probably made by a worker in the National Recovery Administration program. Ellington explained the museum's new acquisitions are received in several different ways. "We receive many items from our very active Museum Associates group," he said. "We also receive artifacts from gifts or bequests from individuals and from outright museum purchases." He pointed out that annual funds allocated for museum purchases amount to only $6,800 — not nearly enough to fill gaps in the museum's collection. "The Associates' help is enormously valuable," he noted. "Without their help, we would miss out on important additions to the collection. Associates' membership funds help preserve our state's heritage and enable it to be displayed for all North Carolinians. "Associate members and others all over the s£3te-~are always on the lookout for various pieces as they appear on the market to fill in the gaps in our collections," he added. As plans for the new museum building progress, gifts, bequests and Associates' support are now more important than ever. The museum is actively collecting items for exhibit in the new facility which will offer more then three times the present exhibit spece. Meanwhile, visitors may enjoy the new acquisitions exhibition which reflects some of the "behind-the-scenes" activity at today's Museum of History. "Museum Pieces: New Acquisitions" will be on view on the mezzanine through August, 1980, at the Museum of History, an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources, at 109 E. Jones St, Raleigh.
