Linda Lee Stockton Makes
Fine Record In Va. As 4-H'er
Granddaughter Of A. E.
Cantrlla Member Of
Worsham Club
Linda Lm Stockton, 17-yeer-ald
daughter f Mr. and Mrs. U. A.
Stockton of the Abilene commu
nity in Virginia and granddaugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Can
troll of Marshall, has been an
active member of 4-H ever lines
she entered the club at Worsham,
Va.
A shy, frightened litUe girl
then, her determination to peak
up in meetings, and to do what
ever came to hand in club activi
ties, is shown by her record. Sec
retary of the club for a number
of years, and then its president,
she has also been first vice presi
dent of the 4-H County Council,
also its reporter. Member and
frequently chairman of club and
county committees, her ideas and
energies have been felt in many
directions. The Worsham - Dar
lington Heights Club in which she
has been active has profited by
her support, enthusiasm, and sus
tained interest
Living on the family farm in
the southwestern part of Prince
Edward County, Virginia, Linda
eight years ago started a home
vegetable garden that through
(the years has develope dinto "the
kind one reads about but seldom
sees." No matter what time of
year, it is well cared for. En
closed in a white picket fence,
flower outlined, no weeds can be
found even around its borders.
Plants are uniform and healthy,
insect-free; and she plans a sue
cession of crops that keeps the
whole in use.
Her family and friends enjoy
the produce. Growing a little each
year, the plot now includes almost
30,000 sq. feet. She has followed
CPI recommendations as to soil
tests and fertilizers, seed varie
ties and insecticides. The family
learned to enjoy vegetables they
never ate before (she has planted
32 varieties) and she has branch
ed into planting strawberries and
raspberries.
Her projects in canning and
freezing have won her renown.

The garden brought her top ho-
pra in county and district contests,
and her ability in food preserva
tion was noted at the Sears, Roe
buck exhibits in Lynchburg, as
well as at the Five County Fairs.
Skill in demonstrating techniques
of preparing and freezing foods
have impressed audiences at dis
trict and .state contests, and she
has won the frozen foo)d district
contest for two years.
While gardening and food pres
ervation have had major empha
sis, Linda has always carried and
completed an amazing variety of
projects. Prior to 1963, she had
completed .rl projects and eight
activities. During the current
year she has carried 24 projects,
embracing a great span of inter
eats in which 4-H offers help.
This project work has netted
her 17 medals, 23 ribbons, more
than $100 in cash plus the in
(angibles she lists as "a wealth
if experience, also improvement
in the well-being of my family as
well as myself." Among these
she treasures self-confidence, and
good sportsmanship, as well as
knowledge. Linda keeps her head
when she wins, and her heart
when she loses.

the Extension Service and VPI

Linda's enthusiasm brought her
whole family into club work. Her
parents serve as club advisers,
are always willing to work on ac
tivities involving putting op fair
booths, renovating a forms
Grange building to be used as a
community club house, carrying
groups to picnics, sad helping
where needed. Her brother and
sister are following the pattern
she established in active partici
pation and achievement.
Linda has served as s junior
leader at Holiday Lake 4-H Camp
and during the year as s junior
leader of the Worsham Club girls
Along with helping the younger
girls with projects and record
books, she has encouraged them
to take advantage of the many
Opportunities 4-H has to offer
Her vital feeling for 4-H is conta

YOUR SOCIAL
SECURITY
By JESS FISHER,
Claims Representative
According to the Social Securi
ty Administration, some persons
who are over 62 years of age and
still working may be losing out on
social security benefits.
Under the social security law,
a person past retirement age can
earn as much as $1200 in a calen
dar year and receive payments for
each month of the year. And per
sons who earn over $1200 hi a
year may be paid partial pay
ments. The law provides that a person
can have earnings of $1200 to
$1700 per year and receive the 12
monthly payments less one-half
the amount of earnings in excess
of $1200 up to $1700. If the an
nual earnings are more than $1700
the amount payable would be
smaller.
If you are 62 years of age or
older and your earnings are less
than $3048 yearly, get in touch
with your local social security of
fice about your eligibility for benefits.
