LEADKH8HIP
"As s leader, one serves" m
the theme of the Halifax County
Home Demonstration Clubs' fall
federation meeting. This meeting
was dedicated to Miss {Catherine
Veroa Stanton, assistant (tote
home demonstration agent, who
retired from her position an Sept.
SO, 1958.
"One of her greatest contribu
tions to tbe rural women of our
state has been the development
of leadership In home demonstra
tion work. Her leadership train
ing has spread far Into many
other groups, as the home dem
onstration leaders serve in other
fields. The high quality of her
work has not only been recognized
and appreciated by the women of
Halifax County, but by women
throughout the state." said the
Halifax County Home Demonstra
tion Club women.
FIKM BELIEVES
Mrs. Preston Massey, of frank
lin County. Is now a firm believer
in following instructions for free*
in* vegetables, reports Assistant
Home Economics Agent Winnlfred
Wiggins.
"My family had not cared about
froxen corn or butter beans. After
I attended the frown food clinic
in Bunn last April, I decided to
plant the varieties of corn and
butter beans that are recommend
ed for freezing," said Mrs. Massey.
When the vegetables were "lost
right" for freezing, Mrs. Massey
followed established procedures
with amazing results. According
to the Muwy family, the frozen
vegetables are equal In quality
to those picked fresh from the
garden.
Many of the Mnssey's neigh
bors received vegetables frozen by
the homemaker. The family has
40 quarts of corn and almost an
other 40 quarts of butter beans
for delicious eating this winter.

excellent example of what adult
leaders can accomplish. Home

scribes them as a "ball of fire."
Their latest success was an
achievement banquet with Mrs.
Joe Magee In charge. All of the

CI Insurance
Dividends Have
Been Announced
More than five million veteran:
who hold participating <31 lift
Insurance will share In regulal
annual policy dividends totallnc
$256,000,000 during 1959. Sumnei
O. Whlttier, administrator oi
veterans affairs, has announced.
Mr. Whittier said the dividend:
are primarily a refund to pulley
holders of part of their premlun
payments, and are made possibl<
because the death rate among
OI policy holders continues to tx
lower than the tables upon which
the premiums were established bj
law.
The dividend declarations were
listed as:
1. National Service Life Insur
ance (NSLIi, which originated in
World War II; $235,000,000 pay
able to apprtrrti? tely UWM

$9,000,000 and 11,000.000 leae Chan
were declared for IBM. Mr. WH1V
tier said.
However, he explained, individ
ual policyholders will generally
receive about the same amownt
as during 1958. since the number
of GI policies In lore* declines
between one and two percent each
year
Dividends will be paid as soon
as possible after the anniversary
date of each policy during 1959.
For example. If a policy was Issued
any September 1, the anniversary

Mr. Whittier pointed out.
He added that dividends will
be paid to holders of both term
and permanent plan participates
NSLI and USGLI policies.
Policyholders should not make
dividend inquiries in advaaee,
