The sad ie faces of our young ! people and the Coloradoans show ed just how successful our visit was," Miss Jean Childers, assist Some of the differences between Some of the difefrences between farms and home life in North Carolina and Colorado, noticed by the Tar Heels, were: The complete cowboy outfits worn by many of the men and boys; hard rolls of light bread eat en in the homes instead of corn bread or biscuits so familiar in these mountains; irrigation which must be used on all crops in Colo rado; the flat land and intense heat of that part of the country; the comparative absence of fried j foods, and the Republican leanings in politics. Major crops of Weld County, the Haywood group learned, are sugar beets, truck crops, beef cat tle, corn, wheat, potatoes (usually referred to as "spuds" there), cantaloupes, and watermelons. Like other Western states, Weld County also has its oil wells and some recently discovered deposits of uranium. Although Colorado's snow-cap ped mountain peaks are visible from Greeley (the county seat of Weld County), the 4-H members had to travel 100 miles to reach the Rocky Mountain National Park. The Carolinas praised the beau ty of the towering spruce and pine trees in the Rockies, the variety of wild flowers, and the impres siveness of the snow fields in the high elevations. Even for youngsters used to be ing in the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge mountains, the Haywood countians found their ears stop ping up and had some trouble breathing while in Trail Ridge at an altitude of 12,183 feet. While on the trip some of the Haywood folk met one of President Eisenhower's close friends ? Gov ernor Dan Thornton of Colorado. From all reports, the Carolin ians were as much impressed by the Western hospitality as any thing. "Their hearts are as big as their plains," one boy remarked. The hosts also had a kind word Pvt. Clyde Lambert Returns From Germany Pvt. and Mrs. Clyde Lambert and young son, Gary, are visiting Mrs. Lambert's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank Davis, in Hazelwood. Pvt. Lambert has just returned from duty in Germany. Following a 30-day furlough, he will report to Fort Riley, Kansas, where Mrs. Lambert and their son will join him. for the Haywood 4-Hers, terming them a very well-behaved group. Similar praise came from the man agers of hotels and restaurants a long the route. Miss Childers summed up her opinion of the tour participants this way: 'They were so congenial and a real pleasure to be with." Although it'll be another year yet before the Coloradoans come to Haywood County for a visit, the young people here are already anticipating a reunion with their new Western friends. 4-H CLUB DAIRY CATTLE JUDGES in ac tion Thursday afternoon at the annual Western North Carolina district contest on the Osborne Farm on N.
