LargMt Coaaty NUMBER «. Fine Racfio Talk Made by Hilda Club Member Misg Eloise Sanders Takes Part in < Program Broadcast by Station WIS Last Week. A radio talk by Miss Eloise Sanders, of the Hilda 4-H Club, on the subject, “What My Club Has Meant to Me,” was one of the high lights of the Barnwell County program broadcast by Station WIS in Columbia one morn ing last week. The program, which was arranged by Miss Elizabeth Mc- Nab, also included vocal selections by Mrs. Perry A. Price and Mrs. Josh Baxley, of Barnwell, with Mrs. Solo mon Blatt as accompanist, and was heard by many listeners throughout the State. Miss Sanders’ talk was as fol lows: “To me the club has meant many, many things. I have been a member for seven years, and, during that time, have received seven certificates, one diploma, a blue ribbon in the county health contest, blue ribbon in the county yeast bread contest, a red rib bon in the county dress review, and a trip twice to the State Short Course at Winthrop. “While a member of a foods, nutri tion and health club for two years, I learned lessons in food selection, health habits and posture. I learned to plan better meals, to prepare them and to serve them more attractively. I have lemed also how to can fruits and vegetables according to safe and improved methods. I won a blue rib bon in the county contest, and a trip to the State Short Course. It has given me pleasure too. to pass these lessons on to others. I entered the health contest each year but not un til the 7th year was my determin ation to win rewarded. I won first place in the county health contest and a trip to the State Short Course. “As a member of the clothing dub, 1 learned first of all to use a thimble, which was a most difficult task for me. I learned first the simpler things, as selecting suitable material for various types of clothing, appropriate patterns, how to make suitable seams for different garments, how to darn and to patch. The desire to sew and the determination to make all of my clothes were the most important things learned during the first year I was enrolled in a clothing project four years and now I make all of my cot ton clothes. I like to sew and am eager to learn all of the newest hints and methods which make sewing easier and quicker. I entered the county dress review this year and won a red ribbon. “The tripe to the State Short Course at Winthrop College and the annual encampments which I have been privi leged to enjoy have brought me in contact with many lovely people whom I have enjoyed knowing. “Being a club member helps to de velop poise and self-conflfldence. which are necessary if we are to be leaders in our community. “The many lessons learned in the 4-H Club make for happier farm homes and I am proud to be a part of the large group of boys and girls who are striving to make the best better.” North and Barnwell Play Scoreless Tie Fairness of Digest Poll Is Challenged Barnwell Boys Make | Municipal Election Good at The Citadel to Be Held Tuesday Local Gridsters, Outweighed 15 Lbs.

E.

Led by the stellar defensive work of Creech Sanders, captain and full back, the Barnwell high school foot ball team put up a great defensive battle here Friday afternoon to hold the North high school warriors to a scoreless tie. Although outweighed by about 15 pounds to the man the local aggregation was not outfought nor outgamed and Coaches Price and Journal Writer Gaim Straw Vote Is Misleading. An editorial writer in the New York Times and a columnist in the Atlanta Journal are questioning the fairness and accuracy of the presiden tial political poll being conducted by The Literary Digest.

The candidates Hewey deserve a great deal of credit from New York City, Philadelphia and for the development of these light but scrappy youngsters. The game was played mostly in Barnwell territory, but the North gridders made only one serious threat, that when the North safety man broke through the whole Barnwell team on a touchdow’n return of a punt, only to step out of bounds on Barnwell’s 20- yard line. The ball was returned to position and Barnwell rose to the oc casion and stopped North on downs. Offensively, North was superior, gain ing more ground and Barnwell fought off every attack to keep the invaders from reaching “pay dirt.” While the whole Barnwell team is to be congratulated on their stellar play it was especially pleasing to coaches and local fans alike to see “Sonny” Patterson and Sol Blatt come through in their first game with such sterling play. North’s entire team likewise deserves honorable mention for their play and it is believed that they will go far in the district elimination. This was the opening game of the season for both teams and the opener of the new district nine elimination contest for the championship.

The moating was raltad to ordar at 10:00 o’clock by Mrs. J. A. Riley, director. The central theme of the moating was rural electrification. The princi ple address was given by Mrs. Dora B.

It is reported that The Times last week sent a representative to the of fices of The Literary Digest to in quire about the New York City bal lots and he was informed by the edi torial office that it was not known whether or not any ballots had been mailed to New York Gty voters. The Times thinks this is rather strange, inasmuch as thousands of New York ers have received the ballots.
