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.”

ADVERTISE In The

Defensive Battle.
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

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.

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.
