And this kind of homework requires a lot of thought, too, if you want td win honors (and help your chil dren do likewise). So let’s start concentrating on it right now! a .

A few ^f these were privileged to spend ; extra time during a thunderstorm in the Governor's Mansion, by virtue of the fact that they werr caught thm and couldn’t leave.: Distinguished citizens of our State and Nation spoke’to these progressive farm boys anid girls. We were welcomed to the campus by Mr. J. W. Harrillson, Chancel lor of the College, on Monday riight. On Tuesday night,yOur o'wn Governor Cherry said as he ad dressed 'these youthful delegates, “You are among the few people in our State who actually produce something.” On Friday evening came the “highest” highlight of them alL At this time. Secretary of War Kenneth C. Royall, a na tive North Carolinian, spoke to the group. Mr. Royall', in spite of his triumphs and' successes, still has “tar on his heels” asd is look ing forward to the day yhen he can come home to stay. Sec. Roy all -prais^ the work of farmers and 4-H members and cit^ fig ures to show that agricultural production in 1946 was 34 per cent more than the pre-war aver age while the farm population has decreased two and one-half million. He said, “Our production record is, therefore, a tribute, to the intelligence aiid ingenuity of the American farmer, to the skill an^ hard work of those who toil in the fields, and to the forward,- looking Shd: .progressive use of farm machiqei The said nightowls ^Itayed up to diKun d^’s'events, to g|et acquidnt^ with the-:folks nipift door whoiA you saw at no other time, to talk about ‘*1^e tute boy they^met at the Stadi^ tonight,” and to try the f^unjpellor’s pat ience. Bright a'nd early Saturday morning, these happy-hearted 4-H lery and methods;” During the week, evidence of achievement in 4-11 work was, seen in the State Diess Revue in which county 'winne^ fronv 83 couhtiW'^ih the' st^^ participated. These girls, in their attractive home-made outfits, proved that no Paris or New York designer has a monopoly on individual ity and good taste and many a male memlber of the audience drew, a long sigh of relief as he saw that few of these young lad ies had allowed the new long- skirt styles to influence them. The State 4-H Health Festival was held on Thursday evening in the form of a modernized ver sion of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Health Prince and Princess—not chosen on looks alone—won their crowns the hard way. They were chosen by spec ialists from Duke Hospital on the basis of good health. Mr. L. R. Harrill, State 4-H Club Leader, Miss Eleanor Bar ber, Mr. Ned Wood, and Mr. Jesse James, Assistant State 4-H Lead ers, explained the purpose of 4-H Clulb Week, iits traditions, and its organization. For recreatiori, the delegates, swam in the college ipool, played softball, baseball, or basketball in the afternoon. At night they sang songs and did folk jdances; such as the "Virginia Reel, Galley Down Our Alley, Koki-Koki, Pop Goes the Weasel, and Bingo, on Riddick Stadium, jOn two rainy evening^ these meetings were held in Pullen Hall where we sang songs, but played no games be cause of lack of rbom. Vesper services which followed recreation each night ended the day’s program, and a tried but happy “gang” made their wqy from the stadium' to the dorms where all but the most night- owlish and energetic went to sleep. r r: • . • 1 .
