WANT ADV. 3etly Walker Wins First Place In Health Improvement Contest ' Betty Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Walker of the Fork section and a member of the tenth grade of the McCormick High School, was the winner of first place in the State Health Improve ment Contest. In the fall of 1932 Betty joined a Foods Nutrition and Health Unit II. 4-H Club. During the following months she carried out her club work, putting special emphasis on improving her health practices. She scored her food habits and began to think mti^about which foods she needed to build her body as it should be. She scored her health habits, and finishing that her tonsils and ade noids needed to be removed. She lost no time in having that done. 3he watched her weight and mado i steady gain during the last •nonths of the year. Finally, when the club Health 'Improvement Contest w'as held, she won first place over other members of the ninth grade. In June she en tered the County Health Improve ment Contest, where she again won first place. At the State Short Course at Winthrop College in July she was presented in the District contest. Again she. was the winner of first place, much to the delight of all Ihe McCormick 4-H girls who were attending the Short Course at the same time. By this time Betty had gotten the habit of winning first place and she was determined not to lose this habit at the State Fair in Colum bia, where the final contest was to be held. In October she went to Columbia with all the other first place 4-H girls in the State and again she walked off with high honors and captured first place in the State Health Improvement Contest. This would have entitled her to a trip to the National Club Con gress in Chicago, but this year there was no trip offered for the Health Improvement girl. Betty had a wonderfully good time in Columbia. ‘The State Fair paid her transportation to and from Columbia, and here she and the other 4-H girls were entertain ed during the three days as guests of the Fair Association. Betty tells of her trip in the fol lowing letter: “I arrived in Columbia Tuesday at 12:30 p. m. I went directly to the Jefferson Hotel where all the 4-H girls were assigned to stay while in the city. We spent the af ternoon at the hoteyL welcoming the other girls as they came in. “That night Mr. Brunson carried us out to the Fair ground on a float that was decorated in 4-H colors and emblem. All 4-H Club girls wore green uniforms. We came back to the hotel about 11:30. “Wednesday morning we were carried over to the Baptist Hospit al where pie were given a physical examination by Drs. White and Mickel. “We went out to the fair ground again about 11:30. At 2:30 we were carried over Columbia and sljfewn many places of interest. One was the ruins of Wade Hamp ton’s home. At the present his great nephew lives there. “Wednesday night we attended the banquet at the Rosemary Cafe teria, where a most enjoyable even ing was spent. Here the blue rib- >cns were awarded. It seemed that jur day could not b£ complete without going out to the fair grounds, for once again we ended the day in that way. “Other places of interest we saw while there were: The State House, Asylum, Veterans’ Hospital, Con federate Home, Lake Murray and the Girls’ and Boys’ Reformatory. “After a very pleasant stay, we left for home Thursday at about 1:30 p. m.” X McCormick Wins From Monet ta Bellevue H.
