Pretty Girl Says
Farm Real Place
On Which To Live
Young Club Girl. Trite Winner,
Tells What Farm
Life Is.
(By Virginia Terrell Lathropi
The country Is the place for real
living, according to the creed of
Ruth Alexander, of Fletcher, out
standing 17-year-old club girl of
Western North Carolina, who. In
seven years has accumulated prices
on cooking, canning, sewing and ta
ble service; who has been twice
president of her local club; dele
gate from her club to two short
courses at State college, and one of
the four delegates from North Car
olina to the 4-H encampment at
Washington; who this year wen
the U. D. C. prize for the best es
say written in the Falrview school,
who has for two years been a mem
ber of her school debating team, a
member of, the girls’ basketball
team; who likes to swim, ride horse
back, play bridge, drive a car, make
her own clothes and hats and cook
—and loves the country.
That is what Ruth enjoys doing,
after deciding that a girl who lives
in the country is happier than the
girl who lives in the city. And she
goes Marion Talley one better in
that she enjoys actually living the
life of the farm, not necessarily
owning it.
Prior to taking Hip club work sev
en years ago, Ruth's ambition was
to come to the city and be a teacher
or a nurse. Now, try and get Ruth
to the city!
instead, ner ammtion now is to go
to college and learn to be a Home
Demonstration agent, and go back
to the country. So she told the
North Carolina Bankers at their
convention in Asheville. Ruth is al
so quite public speaker. This is the
second time she has been Invited
to address the bankers and tell
them about club work.
And how does a girl on the farm
spend her day?
"That’s easy,” answers Ruth. “We
get up about six o’clock, and help
with the cooking and housework,
and we have a prospect for beau
tifying our rooms and yards, and we
have club meetings and picnic, and
I have chickens of my own, and
there’s canning to be done—why a
day isn’t long enough!”
Ruth is one of the most modest
girls it has ever been the privilege
of a Girl’s Club to send forth. The
fact that she is a member of her
school chorus, and has made some
of the highest grades in school on
her class work would go unsung if
one were not persistent. For to
Ruth there is nothing unusual in
all of her activities. It is ih keeping
busy that she finds life so full of
interest.
She cannot understand how city
people amuse themselves. They do
so few things that are, to her, vital
in the enjoyment of life. They have
cooks and maids, and they are
cramped in small houses and apart
ments. They find their amusement
in riding around and going to
shows. And that adds Ruth, is fine
for a vacation.
The Fairview Club girl is oae of
the pioneer club members of Wes
tern Nortlr Caroline. She started
her work so long ago that there
were only agricultural clubs for
boys and girls. The sewing, millin
ery, house planning, yard planting,
table service, cooking, canning—all
of these were yet to come. Ruth,
with her vision of becoming a school
teacher in a big city school, or a
nurse In a big city hospital still
bright, Joined a poultry club. She
w as oply ten, but she started brave
ly with a brood of chickens, and in
a short time had fifty. The interest
in poultry has never died though
there has died the thought of school
teaching or nursing.
Many more activities opened up
gradually for the club girls, as Mrs.
Jane McKimmon, State Home Dem
onstration agent, extended her work
Ruth learned that a pretty room
was not acquired at the expense of
a lot of money, she got green
paint, and under the direction of
the county agent, painted her fur
niture. Then she made new cur
tains, hung new pictures, made
new linen, and re-arranged the fur
niture. She took a project of yard
beautification, and found that all
beauty of the home was not con
fined to the inside.
All this time, the Falrview Club
was growing rapidly, reaching a
membership of eighty girls, with
Ruth as president for two years.
They took sewing lessons, with the
result that they made their own
clothes. Recently they had a con
test, giving a prise to the girl who
designed, bought, and made the
prettiest dress for a dollar. The
course In millinery taught them to
make their own hats.
But the more vital parts of farm j
life were not neglected. The fruit
and vegetables oq the farm must be
kept for winter months, and the

club girls learned to can all of
them. Ruth has such a collection of i
blue ribbons from community and
western North Carolina fairs, that
she has lost count of them.
But still the girls wanted to learn
more. They wanted to know how to
plan the proper meals for their f&m
ilies. and how to serve them. This
year the Pairview club took as its
project the planning, buying, cook
ing and serving of four meals,
breakfast, lunch, dinner, and party
refreshments. The meals were pre
pared and served in the Agricultur
al building of Fairview school. So
successful had been the club's work
In table service that they sent a
demonstration team to the Fair.
Ruth was a member of the team,
and they won the prize.
