4-H Club Project# Pay For His Farm

D. G. Harwood, Jr., Stanley coun-

ty 4-H Club member, recently bought a 36-acre farm,, adjoining "his father's farm, with a part of the profits he has made from his 4-H Club projects during the past seven

years. D. G., who is president of the

State 4H Club Council, has been a

partner in the dairy business with his father for several years, accord- ing to V. A. Huneycutt, assistant county agent for the State College Extension Service.

He realized that if the partner- ship was to continue and any ex-

pansion made in the enterprise, ad- ditional land would be needed for permanent pasture and small grains; therefore, he decided to buy the farm adjoining his father's farm.

The young farmer also plans to

complete his college education in the near future. This presented another problem, that of having an addition- al house for labor to carry on while he is away. The purchase of the farm solved this since it has a five- room dwelling and other outbuild- ings, Mr. Huneycutt said.

D. G. has made an outstanding record in his 4-H Club work, the agent said, and with the leadership he possesses, he should become one

of the best farmers and leaders in North Carolina.

Library Notes

BY ALICE BRYAN County Librarian

"Books for the World of Tomor- row" is our challenging slogan for this Book Week of 1947.

More than a century and a half ago, Voltaire, the famous French philosopher and author, said, "All the known world, excepting only- savage nations, is governed by books."

We Americans know that books do play an important part in shap- ing the course of the world. We realize the importance of books on

the world through their influencet on each one of us as individuals.

One book often makes a "whale■ of an impression" on many people. Last week the pupils at Dysartsville School were pleased to have the Bookmobile bring them a copy of i

"The Hundred Dresses" by Estes.1 Their teachers, Mr. and Mrs. J.'E. Allen, had told them about the book, and they were most anxious to read it. Unfortunately, the book was one among our many "hard to

get overdue books", and the young; sters had been waiting two months for a lady, who had checked out the book more than a year ago, to return it.

dred Glenn's Story Hour for the' Elementary Schools in the City i System have enjoyed selecting, and planning each story.

Books are inarportant to all ages, and those first books our very young library "readers" select are

especially enjoyed. Mrs. Colon Wright selected "Book

for Baby" by Brann for her sixteen months old daughter, Jane Eliza- beth Wright. Jane likes to look at pictures now, but she will soon be old enough to "read" nursery rhym- es and hear a bit of a story.

Three year old William E. And- erson selected "Son Long" by Brice for his first "Library Book."
