Bui ! even Sunday evening when we kft_ we haj^^jjo jiifi’j.j'f d'ye ..re*.11 , thiills we would experience. About nine o’clock we saw the j flash of neon business lights and | the cool, carressing glows that ! guard the park, capitol building! and other state interests. The j * sight itself was thrilling to behold. , especially when we saw "Hotel I Carolina." which was to be our home for the stay in bright red i “Neon” visibe far over the city, i By nine-thirty we were regis tered and assignea to our respec- i live rooms. I found three charm- ; ing roommates who quickly in vaded the room with a homey at mosphere. We planned to retire by eleven, but I’ll confess it was two before the lights were out. i Monday morning by six-thirty I was up. Feeling a bit drowsy, I decided I would refresh with a cold shower, and such shocking results—well, it was an electric congress! As soon as T was dressed I rush ed down to breakfast, which con sisted of anything I desired. After breakfast there was a few minutes to chat before registration at eight-thirty in the hotel lobby, where we were given name tags which identified us as to name and county. At ten-thirty we as sembled in the hotel ballroom 1 where we began the congress with a verse of “America." our club "p'tcdgr- <11:u >Y'VTTTti* ui Mr. tl<■!. - roll's jokes. This was followed by a speech "The Need of Better ‘Metnod? in Agriculture oy Direc tor of North Carolina's Agricul tural Extension Service, I. O. j Schaub. He pointed out that most i of the eastern portion of North 1 Carolina’s farmers were making : farming only a part-time business | and in order to nave a year-round income for a higher standard of ; living it is necessary to institute new jobs to use the farm labor : wasted in the season when there 1 is little to be done. While waiting for Governor Cherry, who was to be our guest j speaker, we sang verses of Home ; i op the Range and Old Black Joe. ' Then we were introduced to all I present. Mr. L. V. Sutton, presi dent of the Caro.ina Power and1 j Light Company, introduced the Governor, who spoke on “Youth j in North Carolina Agriculture.” Luncheon wus served in the ! hotel ballroom ;.t twelve-thirty and was followed by real-to-life impersonations of Jimmy Du i rante, Lum and Abner, late Presi dent Roosevelt, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra given bv E. Cullen! Johnson. Also some of our lead IM S put on acts. Mr. Sumner was I : one of the Rebecca. Ramona, and Roberta trio that harmonized on "You Are My Sunshine.’’ At one-fifteen we divided into , two groups and look two tours. I First we went to the Taylor Food I I'ruvpnny WP S.tfw potato chips, nabs, and other things i made. The most fascinating thing j there, however, was the machine ! that bagged peanuts. Next we visited the Pine State Creamery gggni where wo saw milk bottled and ice m am made. Also we wel% shown a movie at the end of this "thro-trip" of the things we had seen. Both plants were generous with samples which were wel come. for the luscious aromas had made us quite hungry. We returned to the hotel and changed to our plaids and guities. In no time at all we were j'eady to leave for the Tar Heel Club. This was more wonderful than we ever dreamed, being situated out in the count) v on a slope above a J _■ w, .

We were then honored by a Harvest Friendship Party under the leadership of Miss Eleanor j Barber and Mr. Jesse James. This consisted of games, square done- i ing. corn-popping, and every- ; thing you have ever dreamed of; in a fall party. By the time we j arrived back at the hotel every- j one was overfilled with fun but exhausted enough to retire imme diately. Tuesday morning after break fast Mr. C. Spellman Virginia Electric Power Company repre sentative. presided over a pro gram consisting of speeches by Albert Ellen and myself. Then Mr. K. H Reynolds. Industrial Consultor of the Carolina Power and Light Company, explained and demonstrated “Generation and Distribution of Electricity Then we ve iteil the Carolina Pow or and Light Company sub sta tion.
