Lillie Things
In the 4-H clubs, at their <jamps,
rally days, and the like our farm
boys and girls are taught many
things. Some might look like small
things. But they all add up to bet
ter living and the making of better
men pnd women there.
Here are just three items 1
caught from a recent report of the
Negro home agent _ pf Florence

homes. Beautification.
A.nd so on and on they go. the
projects that the 4-H clubs adopt
and carry out.

Boys Are That Way
Zeke and I got warts over our
feet one summer.
We had been told not to play
with frogs. Folks in our Stone
Hills of the Dutch Fork believed
firmly that they would make warts
come on you. Or we kids thought
they did. they impressed it on us so.
But in later years"Tve wondered
if that wasn't just a way they had
of trying to get us kids to let those
useful creatures alone.
Anyway, we believed it. But
