He was a very happy turkey, and he was fed the best of everything. This, however, was no ordinary turkey, for this cool gobbler liked jazz. Brubeck swung him, Errol nade him cluck with delight, and sometimes, when no one was lis tening, he would add a tricky counterpoint to the Australian Jazz quartet with i long drawn out gobble that wa a delight to the hep ear. VilHianous Shift Chauncy, the rooster, who was a very devoted Bach fan, used to drop over and dig some of Turk's jazz; they had become quite de voted friends, and together they would really send the chicks. As you can see this was a very happy barnyard-until the arrival of a very shifty duck. This duck stole the spotlight from our two friends. He would get on the stage and all the chicks would squeal with delight as he waddled around ginging "Rockin' Robin.", Pink-eyed As the leaves turned brown, and the fall air acquired a decided nip, the duck's popularity grew. Sometimes the chicks would pluck their feathers and throw them at Ducky just to show him their devotion, and sometimes the poor things would just faint at the slightest glance from those big pink eyes. Turk and Chauncy were neg lected, Chauncy's Sunday morn ing crowing of Bach's Partita in D failed to evoke a single com ment. Then one morning Ducky was gone. The barnyard was in a quandry, some of the chick's re fused to eat, though if the truth be known, a few of the older and wiser barnyard habitants were tired of the constant quacking. In the farmhouse, the good farmer and his wife were making quick work of a tasty roast duck. "You know, Matilda, I never would have thought about having duck this Thanksgiving if I hadn't heard that fool quacking all the time." Moral: Eventually the loud mouths will get it in the neck.

In fact, she is so good at de signing that one of her original dress creations has brought her a trip to Chicago for the 37th National 4-H Club Congress, Nov. 29-Dec. 4, as winner of the "Dress Review" project of the S. C. 4-H Clubs. While in Chicago, Kay - a freshman at Carolina in the School of Nursing-will model her prize winning dress for some 1,200 4-H representatives from the U. S. and its territories ex pected to attend the Congress. Other Talents But talent in designing was not the only basis on which she was chosen, for she had to de monstrate all-around project achievement, leadership and citi zenship to meet the rigid qualifi cations for contestants. Preparation Happy over prospects for her forthcoming trip, Kay explained that this was no easily-won vic tory, for she has been working almost half her lifetime for this prize. Her first efforts began nine years ago under the expert guid ance of her mother, Mrs. W. D. Dantzler, a 4-H Club leader in Holly Hill. Kay designed, sewed and sub mitted her creation in four an nual contests, and this year at "nearly 18" her hard work and perseverance won for her the long sought prize. But her talents don't end here, for she not only designs clothes but models them as well. For the past three years she has modeled at the "Made in South Carolina Style Show," a part of the annual S. C. Farm and Home Week. Only a Hobby With so many interests, the question of what Kay's future plans might naturally arise. "I want to be a nurse, and I hope a good one," is her comment. "De signing is fun, but it is, and will remain, only a hobby for me." Here again the pretty co-ed has shown signs of excellence for she is one of 50 girls meticulously chosen by the School of Nursing for this first class of the school's new four-year training program leading to the bachelor of science degree-the only -such program offered in the state.
