James Clark Miss Dickerson More than 1.3J9 youngsters from across 1 the nation and Puerto Rico will swarm into Chicago’s Conrad Hilton hotel headquarters of the congress, to participate in what is popularly known as the “showcase of 4-H.” The four state project winners are: James W. Clark, Jr. of— Vaughan, Miss Leola Dickerson of Ruffin, Miss Phyllis baton of . Ellerbe and Miss Rita Robbins of Forest City. ’ r* The congress, conducted and planned by the Cooperative Ex tension Service and the National 4-H Service Committee, is always held simultaneously with the In ternational Live Stock Exposi tion. Young Clark, in 4-H work for eight years, has completed 38 projects. A senior at Littleton High School, he was awarded, , h«m Chicago trip by virtue of * pacing state 'competition in the ■» i 960 entomology project. While in Chicago he will be a guest of - j- the Hercules Powder Co., and eligible to compete for a S4OO scholarship provided by Hercu les. The 17-year-old Warren county youth is a member of the Little ton Senior 4-H Club. Miss Dickerson, 20, will be at the congress as a guest of the Whirlpool Corporation, repre senting her state for top honors In the frozen foods project. She also will be eligible to compete state’s highways and concentrating on the spots wheye fatalities are most likely to Orcur. The patrols will be strongest at spots ' where fatilities occurred during last year’s holiday season. . \ Maj. C. Raymond Williams, head of the patrol’s enforcement divi sion, set up the operation and out lined the plans, which call for stricter law enforcement, stopping actual _ and. ppntenriah violators and requesting cooperation of civic clubs, news media and, of course, the driving public. Maj. Williams pointed out that ‘ r7 v - for a S4OO scholarship provided ! by Whirlpool. Presently engaged in secretar ial work, she is a 1958 graduate of Ruffin High School. The daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dicker son, she is a member of the Rockingham county Senior 4-H Club and has been in 4-H work for 10 years. Miss Laton, 18, captured state honors with her health project, sponsored by Eli Lilly and Com pany. She also will be able to compete for a S4OO scholarship offered by the Lilly firm. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mr F. Laton, she became inter ested in the 4-H.health project because of her own physical handicap -a handicap which she has overcome. Meanwhile, the, Richmond county lass has been busy with 4-H work for eight years. A 1960 graduate of Ellerbe High School, she is a member of tlie Ellerbe Senloj 4-H Club. j Mi»» Laton Miss Robbins At 17, Miss Robbins’ 4-H back ground has been relatively brief - four years.' But her climb to 1960 state leadership in the dress revue project has been rapid. Last year she placed fifth ~ln state competition; this year first, and-4hat honor spelled out her trip to Chicago as a guest of the Simplicity Pattern Co. Miss Robbins, a senior in Chase High School and a member of the Rutherford county 4-H Club, makes 90 peri cent of her own clothes and also sews for other members of her family of eight. She has served as vice presi- 1 dent and secretary of her county ■4-H Council. She js the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Robbins of Forrest City. The 1,300 youngsters exported at the annual Chicago congress represent about 2,300,000 enthu siasts in 4-H work. 1,067 persons died’ in Tar Heel highway accidents in 1959, and the toll is already greater this year. In December, 1959, 124 North Carolinians died in traffic. Os 1 these, 39 were killed in the five days from Christmas Eve through Dec. 28. .Thirteen were killed on Christmas Day. But it could be a happy holiday ' season for Tar Heels, the SHP feels, if drivers cooperate. But the L patrol also knows it could be tra gic. _*l. And, as a final word, the patrol suggests that the "one for the ; road” be black coffee. \. ,v “Dedicated To The Progress Os Yancey County” BURNSYiLfife, N.
