‘this and that’
(Editor's Note —When \V. M
Curry, contributor to the NEWS
each week of the avidly read
column 'This and That’, passed on
last week, he had written advance j
material for two additional col- j
umns. Instead of writing a news-j
papernian’s "30" after his article!
last week, we feel that Mr. Curry
would approve the appearance of
his final gleanings from the past.)

A peaceful Proposition
Mr. and Mrs. Z. G. Scott of the
Windthorst country, were among
the pleasant throng of shoppers
here Saturday. Mr. Scott, whose
maiden name is Zack hailed us on
the street and handed us a dollar
and we think he is an awfully
nice man. Up to a few years ago
Zack frittered away the time
talents and youth in gallivanting
over the face of the earth, a slave
to a big cotton concern at a strip-
end of only 55.000 per year. But
a few years ago he became hep
to the fact that despite day and
night he was getting nowhere. He
bought Archer county land. He
built a magnificent home. He
stocked his premises with fine
cattle and chickens. He planted a
fig tree and a morning glory and
is now able to sit around his vine
clad back door stoop, smoke the
pipe of peace and waft the rings,
on the horn of plenty.
Layman's Conference
Held Here
The Archer County Layman’s
Conference was held here last
Friday night, and was called to
order by the chairman, D. J. Sim-
son. The attendance that night
was good, and interest was evi-j
denced. Those who took part in
the discussion S. R Melugin. J. T.
Stevens. W. A. Fraser, H. S. Mor-
rison, Mr. Gatlin and Rev. Yancy
of this city, and J. T. Williams;
and Charles McDaniels of Dundee!
On Saturday night the crowd en-
joyed talks’by W. E. Forgy and
Chas. McDaniel.
Sunday morning the Rev. Mr.
Yancy delivered a fine sermon a-
long ’ the line of the Layman's
work. At night the meeting was
concluded with a lecture by ex-
senator Goss, of Seymour, who
appeared at his best in address-
ing the crowd.
The Layman’s Conference is a
move put on by the Laymen, or
members of the different church-
es, to aid in the work of evange-
lizing the world.

Figures on 4-H enrollment for 1959 again show
an upward trend. If the increase is reflected in
all 50 states and Puerto Rico, this year's final
score could well be within touching distance of
the two-aud-one half million mark, predicts the
National Committee on Boys and Girls Club
Work.
While the number of 4-H’ers is steadily increas-
ing. the annual crop of winners remains about the
same, the National Committee points out, be-
cause the number of award programs is limited.
Thus individual qualifications become higher and
competition keener. At the present time the ratio
for state and national winners is one member
out of 2,000.
The national award programs in which 4-H'p,-s
participate include clothing, frozen foods, ento-
mology, safety, public speaking, and tractor.
There are nearly 50 others, acacrding to the
National Committee.
Ail 4-H projects and activities endeavor to
show how to improve the individual, the family,
the home, farm and community.
Every 4-H member pledges . . my head to
clearer thinking ... my heart to greater loyalty
. . . mv hands to larger service . . . my health to
better’living, for my club, my community, aud
my country.”
Besides the personal satisfaction of “learning
bv doing,” 4-H’ers take great pride in their ac-
complishments, and outstanding records are re-
warded, the National Committee reports.
Awards are provided annually by individuals
and business firms among which are: Mrs.
Charles R. Walgreen. Standard Brands, Coats &
Clark. Carnation Co., Simplicity Pattern Co.,
Hercules Powder Co., Betty Crocker of General
Mills. Whirlpool Corp., Montgomery Ward, Gen-
eral Motors, Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.
Also John Docre, Singer Sewing Machine Co.,
Colgate-Palmolive, Homelite, Armour & Co., tho
Burlington, Milwaukee, and Illinois Central rail-
way::, Wilson &, Co., and Humble Oil & Refining
Co.
A11 4-H programs are directed by the Coopera-
tive Extension Service, USDA. Arrangements for
the national award programs arc made by the
National Committee.
The Mothers Society held their
monthly meeting Thursday after-
noon with Mrs. Katie Lerner,
