”-00“--LET'S TALK IT OVERBy Frank Wood, Adviser

When Mrs. Corinne English, Ext. Spec-ialist in Family Relations, began herclass by handing out tickets, club membersdid not suspect they meant alternate seatving of boys and girls. This arrangementallowed club members to widen their acq-uaintances.

From the moment the class on "Let'sTalk It Over" assembled in Withers audi-torium, Mrs. English won the affectionof the entire group by her wit and charm.

She informed the boys and girls that 'they were experiencing an " in betweenage." This is an age in which girls wantnew and attractive clothes because theywant boys to look at them and the boyswant Jalopies so they can take theirgirl friends ridir- .

The groups selected certain problems iwhich are most important to them. The tmost important problem selected was "Get-Jting Along With Peopl. ." The No. 2 prob-lem was "What to do With My Life." Prob-lem No. 3 was "Who Slvtould Guide YoungPeople in the Skills for Living theHome, the Church or the School?"

ITwo other mmproblems listed. ll

were "How to Choose A College To Attend,"and "At Wat Age Shouldl Many." *‘

Mrs. English was assisted by Mre. SueSkinner, Asst. Home Agent, and Mr. L. B.Hardage, Asst. Farm Agent, both of Warre ,County. The delegates from Warren Countyparticipating were Jeanette Bolton, Ross-mond Johnston, Allen Kimball, Jr., ReubenHoltzman, Faye King, Elizabeth Davis ,Juanita Jones, Judy Shear-in, Nell Mulchi,Leta Rose Sammcns and Ronnie Moseley.

A series of slides were shown on "Dir-Lecting Your Dollars ," in which teen-agerswere faced with the decision of whetherimmediate satisfaction is more importantthan future goals.

Concluding the session, Mrs. Englishdistributed booklets on "Money in YourPocket" to the boys and "A Miss and Her

Money" to the girls.

A booklet "Your Parents and You”was given to everyone.

HE’S GLAD IT RAINED

Jimmy Childress, Surry County rep-resentative in the State Public Speakingproject, might not have been able toattend Club Week if a two-acre tobaccoproject had not had the benefit of agood rain this past week. Prior to therain, it seemed that the tobacco cropwould be ready for harvest at about thesame time the annual h-H Club Week start-ed.

The rain delayed the harvest long .enough for Jimmy to come to Raleigh thisweek and he expects to be Just as busynext week harvesting that tobacco.
