4-H Clubs Will Remain

An Agriculture Department off{- J

separata 4-H Clubs for Negroes and i

themselves decide to integrate the

Df. ?, W. Aiton, the department's
4-H program director, said that if
the federal government tried to
force integration of meetings and
other 4-H activities. Southern
states simply would refuse to take
part.
This would deny rural NV-gro
youngsters the advantages they

don't want to do that."

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

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

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.

lic Koads paying one-half and the
Ti nnessee and North Carolina
highway departments each paying
one-fourth. A similar travel survey
was made in 1947 by Tennessee

Cycling Fun
When Done
With Group
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Nrusfeaturrs Writer
Bicycle camping is let* <>f fun |
Every year inure young people'
go in for hostcling, riding off on
day trips and spending the night
at hostels Once they are accus
tomed to the fun, it becomes even
more adventurous to plan to camp
out
Six girls may make a good
group /or the camping trip. 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. Make
up the chore list before you take
off so there are no squabbies about
cooking, washing dishes and taking
care of the bikes.
J It's a good idea not to be too
ambitious on your first trip so
don t plan a long one American
Youth Hostels will help you plan
?i trip for any number of days.
Two girls who just started off from
New York on the first leg of a
bicycle trip that will take them to
Honolulu plan to go from 40 to 60
miles a day They will take a train
across the Mohavi Desert and ex
pect to reach California in 80
days Then thev will take a boat
to Honolulu where they will again
go cycling
The cross-country trip is quite
an undertaking, and amateur?
should shy away from the notion
until they've had a few test runs

bike is popular for long trips,
