Right? Wrong. There's all kind of evidence that readers read advertise ments as much as they do other parts of their newspapers. Why? The ads tell what’s new for the consumer. They are also the best source of information about local en- about the Head, Heart, Hands, and Health program; also to re cruit more volunteer leaders, recognize the support of parents, and to honor 4-H leaders and donors. 4-l T is reaching out to bring more people together "to make the best better" in new ways. 4-H TV series on nutrition and nuclear energy are premier ing this year on hundreds of stations. Other 4-H groups are helping to ease the food shortage by supporting agricultural produc tion and marketing efforts.

Shtlc. By Mary M. Deyton G Patsy Fleming October 7-13 will be known as Fire Prevention Week for 1973. The textile industry has been working to help the con sumer in fire prevention, and as a result parents can buy flame retardant pajamas, nightgowns, and robes for their children In sizes 0-6 X. Some manufactur ers are also producing flame retardant sleepwear in childrens sizes 7-14. / The textile industry is produ cifig safer clothing, but it won't stop fires. It is up to you, the consumer, to do your part by purchasing flame retardant cloth ing whenever possible, and car ing for that clothing in a man ner which will help to maintain the flame retardant finish. ft has been found that soap and non-phosphate detergents can build up a film on fabric causing a reduction in flame retardant characteristics. To restore flame retardant charac teristics, wash the garment in a phosphate detergent or a hea vy-duty, citrate based liquid laundry detergent. Reading care labels and fol lowing the directions on the care labels is another important factor in maintaining flame retardant finishes. Direction on "do's" and "don'tS on the labels are very important to your child's safety. Some in struction terms which you may find on care labels and their meanings are as follows: Machine Wash—Wash,bleach and dry and press by any cus- National 4-H Week By Patsy Fleming For more than seven Yancey County residents, the key to staying young is involvement with youth. They are volunteer leaders assisting with the Yan cey County 4-H program, and this week, October 7-13, they are celebrating National 4-H Week along with their 4-H members. These volunteer leaders are revealing their faith in today's young people by spending a few hours each month working with young people in their commu nity. A community 4-H Club may have several leaders work ing with it, each having differ ent responsibilities. The organ izational leaders give overall guidance to the group, helping to organize the group and guide its activities. Project or acti - vity leaders help club members with a specific project or acti vity. They may set up judging classes, conduct tours, and help boys and girls prepare demon - strations, exhibits and talks. Adult 4-H leaders may be assisted by teen leaders. These are older 4-H members who share the knowledge they have gained in 4-H with younger members. They may help the adult leader by helping give programs and helping plan ac tivities for the club. Those organizational leaders working with Yancey 4-H clubs include: Mrs. Robert Treadway and Mrs. Lee Ann Wilson, dee Log 4-H Club; Mrs. Howard Dee Hensley and Mrs. Lloyd Dey ton, Green Mtn 4-H Club; Mrs. R.B.Allgood, Pensacola 4-H Club; Mrs. Edd Ballew and Mrs. Ranles Autrey, Fairview 4-H Club. Teen leaders include Debbie Miller, Susan Wilson and Janet Treadway. Leaders are needed in many communities in Yancey Coun ty. If you would be interested in working with a 4-H Club,or would like to know more about the 4-H program in Yancey c ounty, contact the Agricultur al Extension Service located in the courthouse at 682-2113. tomary method including com mercial laundering and dry cleaning.

Achievement Day Held By Genie McQuade On October 2nd,Extension Homemakers of Yancey County met at Higgins Methodist Church to review their achieire m'ents of the past year and plan for the coming year. Each club presented an at tractive display of their crafts, needlework, painting, dress - making, gardening, canning, and many other things home - makers had accomplished dur ing the year. This display re mained open until 9p. m. so the public might visit. A covered dish luncheon was served at noon. Cooking should rate high on the list of Yancey County Homemakers' achieve ments, as every dish was a di light to the palate. following the luncheon an inspiring group of garden scenes Were shown on slides while Mrs. McKinney sang "In The Gar den" accompanied by Mrs .Hart. The theme of the meeting was "People to People, Goals and Dreams". Mrs. Lawhem challenged each homemaker with "Do you want to be an eagle or an oyster?" She went on to say, "Homemakers can be like an Eagle and soar to the mountain tops—growing and learning—or they can be like an Oyster and remain closed in their own little shell. The wo man who stops learning lives in a valley," Mary Margaret Deyton show ed slides of club activities and projects for 1973. Then she presented awards for outstanding leadership in each club. These ladies were chosen by votes from their fel low club members.

Dry Flat—Lay garment on flat surface. Block to Dry—Maintain ori ginal size and shape while dry ing. Dryclean Only—Garment should be drycleaned only, in cluding self-service. Professionally Dryclean Only —Do not use self-service dry cleaning. SAFETY IN THE HOME Don't forget that you have a year-round fire extinguisher right in your kitchen. To fight small cooking fires, turn off the range and toss handfuls of baking soda at the base of the flames. When the fire is out you can rinse off the food and continue cooking it. Baking soda is good in an emergency for electrical, grease, oil or gas fires —those on which water should not be used. Many people make emergen cy fire extinguishers by filling empty coffee cans with baking soda, snapping on the plastic lids and setting them on shells within easy reach of the range. Suggest that the youngsters paint the cam red and label them with a big "FIRE". It's a great project for Fire Preven tion Week and one that makes everyone aware of the need for safety in the home. i /:■' ’ « m. ■ m l i I f Pauline Lawhern and Edie Algood both received equal votes from Pensacola Club; Shirley Briggs was selec ted from the Newdale-Arbuckfe Club; Harmie Briggs of Jacks Creek Club; Mary Gillespie of the Burnsville Club and tie winners of Bee log Club were Lee Ann Wilson and Genie Mc- Quade. Mis.Deyton announced the winner of the county-wide vo ting for outstanding leaders. Mrs. Pauline Lawhern, County Council President, had been selected. Pauline will now represent Yancey County in the state leadership poll. The Achievement Day activities ended with Mrs. Mc- Kinney accompanied’ by Mrs. Bennett leading club members in the club song "Onward ever Ctaward." A special thanks goes to all the people whose services and facilities made Achievement Day a big success.
