4-H Clubs Will Remain Segregated, Official Says An Agriculture Department off{- J cial said the South will maintain separata 4-H Clubs for Negroes and i ?hltcs until the Southern state themselves decide to integrate the protjrarn.

Survey Finds More Ohioans In Smokies Than Tar Heels The Highway Commission at Ra ! lelgh today reported that it has recently passed the half-way mark ' in its special three-month travel survey of the Great Smoky Moun | tains National Park. Since the survey got under way June 6, a total of 15,000 vehicles I have been stopped and their oc cupants interviewed. The midway ! report showed a total of 51,090 people in the 15,000 cars, giving in average of 3 44 passengers per i. .... I car. A six-main interview team has been rotating its interviewing be tween the three exit points of the park?at Smokcmont, N. C.; and JGatlinburg and Townsend, Tenn. To date, the report noted the weather has been ideal and the tourists have been cooperative. Where do the park visitors come from? The midway report showed that on weekday* 74 per cent of the total motorists interviewed ! come from the following 10 states; Tennessee 458 Ohio H.9 North Carolina 6 9 Florida 6 5 Illinois 56 Georgia 4 7 Indiana 4 5 Michigan 42 Kentucky 4 0 Alabama 3 1 Total 74 0 per cent i The North Carolina percentage mi low because many other Tar lleel mountain resorts are closer ?? ' ? ninth annual regional meeting, regional meeting. A national 4-H pieeting attend-' ed by 200 white club members from 47 states was held in Wash ington June 13-20. Aiton said the clubs are con trolled hv tlx- state authorities al though about 40 per cent of their leadership expenses are met by federal grants. The cfhbs have a membership of 2.50Q.000 boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 21 Other department officials said most states outside the South do not maintain segregated 4-H clubs. But there are relatively few Ne gro members in non - Southern states bwause the rural Negro .imputation oulside the South Is j small, they said. then the Smoky Mountains park. Tar Heel residents also have easy access to many beach resorts along the Carolina coast It is of interest that few of the other nine states have either beaches or mountain resorts. This most extensive travel survey made in Tennessee and North Car olina will evaluate the future de mands for both needed highway improvements and tourist accom modations within a 50-75 mile radius outside the park. Except for some minor camp-sites, there are no tourist accommodations, restau rants or filling stations within the park itself. Tourists must depend on private enterprise outside the park to supply food, fuel and lodg ing When the survey is completed in September, it is estimated that some 25.000 interviews of motorists will have been made. The data will give an up-to-date picture of the average park visitor?where he comes from, how long he stays, how much he spends for lodging, food, gas and entertainment, and 1 what he enjoys most about his park visit. The survey will cost about $17. 000 with the V. S. Bureau of Pub lic Koads paying one-half and the Ti nnessee and North Carolina highway departments each paying one-fourth.

The idea is to map out the trip along a route that is familiar (and safe! with each girl supplying a relative or friend who has a house on that particular route, s(, that their property may be used as a camp ing site each night Bicycling is a good deal like skiing ? you must get your legs in shape before'yon start oh your trip Equipment must be carried to cope with all emergencies, that s why it's a good idea to have a good sized group s() that each can carry some of the ?ieoessities for the group. You'll need a small ax. compass, first aid kit, flash light. field glasses, maps, bicycle tool kit, pump, soap and towels. Matches and a canteen must be I carried too You II be more comfortable if you eat well-balanced meals (milk, fruit and vegetables) and these are easily purchased along the way Wear sunglasses and a hat as pro tection against sun and rain.
