WINNING BRINGS TEARS

Astounded stares and smiles of humorand disbelief appeared on the faces ofspectators at the presentation of statedemonstration winners on Tuesday night.The reason for the commotion was overthe miniature size but mighty efforts ofmany of the winners and participants inthis year's demonstration contests. Manyyoungsters on stage looked hardly old orlarge enough to be away from mom's apronstrings, much less winning coveted statetitles.

One pint-sized powerhouse was DonnaDixon, tiny nine —year-old winner in the eggcookery demonstration. Upon hearing thenews, Donna burst into hears and leapt fromthe stage into sister Debra's arms, currentstate vice president.

"I just can't believe it! I have so manypeople to thank, "wept Donna. Mrs. JewelDixon, 12 year veteran 4-H leader inHenderson County and Donna's mother,probably hosts the largest family delegationhere--five family 4-H'ers, including Diane,candidate for state reporter.

Chip Oehler, another of the ”tiny tots"competing for state honors, was the onlymale participant in egg cookery on both thedistrict and state levels. A ten-year-old4-H'er from Mecklenburg County, Chip isalready thinking of next year and how toimprove his presentation. Certainly, 4-Hspirit knows no size, age, or experiencelimitations .

WATERMELON PARTY

North Carolina 4-H'ers had an unexpectedbenefactor when Mr. Emerson Langley ofRt. 4, Laurinburg contributed the Water-melons for the party last night.

How much fresh, cold N. C. Water-melons can 800 hungry 4-H'ers, agents,and leaders eat in one hour? The answeris 120! When you figure that each water-melon was cut into about 40 slices. This isabout 6 slices apiece. Every true 4-H'ershould have eaten at least 6 or 7 slices.Why that's less than 1/4 watermelon!

Everyone agrees that Congress wouldn't"be Congress without a watermelon partyand tables heaped high with juicy, sticky,delicious watermelon. Our thanks to Mr.Langley!

DEMONSTRATIONS PRESENTED BY 4-H'ERS

Yesterday morning and afternoon, 4-Hmembers were busy giving their demonstrations.There were various types of demonstrationsthroughout the day. I interviewed some 4-H'ersabout how they felt about demonstrations thisyear at 4-H Congress. They told me that ithad been "a very rewarding way of learningand it was fun to learn when people make itfascinating and easy". All the demonstrationsreally showed "polish" and you could tell thedemonstrators worked hard. I hope manyof you had the opportunity to see somedemonstrations.

Also congratulations to all the 1973 StateWinners, and to every demonstrator.
