Herndon of Ruffin, winner of first prize in the state wide Garden contest sponsored by the State Home Demonstration forces and Chilean Nitrate Educa tional Bureau for 1939. She was winner of state prize in 1937 and district prize in 1938. Columbia, Jan. 22.—Winning prizes on her garden work is no longer a novelty for Mrs. D. L. Herndon, of Ruffin, Colleton coun ty, who has been adjudged winner of first place in the State Better Garden Contest for women in 1939 by the State Home Demonstration forces. This is the third time that she has been a Winner in this con test, having captured first place in 1937 and having been a winner of a district prize in 1938. She has also been a consistent winner at her county fair. Mrs. Herndon, who planted twenty-four different varieties of vegetables in her garden last year, began her garden work under the guidance of home demonstration workers three years ago and each year she has made a creditable record. She makes monthly plantings of vegetables and when one vegetable crop is finished she immediately plants another vege table on the same land. She says that the out door work has added to her health as well as to the family budget. i Last year Mrs. Herndon was able to sell $68 worth of vegetables from her garden in addition to 'canning 300'quarts for home use I and having given generous sup plies to friends and contributed tc the school for hot lunches. She hasn’t done so badly in the man ner of prizes either, she says, since she got $45 for winning first place in the state contest in 1937; $25 for winning a district prize in 1938 and $45 for winning first prize again last year. In addition she won $14 in prizes at her county fair. Mrs. D. J. McAllister, of Mt. Car mel, won first place in the Cen tral district and Mrs. W. B. Gog- gins, of Newberry, Route 4, won first place in the Piedmont dis trict. Mrs. Herndon, of course, won first place in the Pee Dee district as well as in the state.

HllWUlBJiyWilUMI’-'U... — School Safety Patrol Program ADOPTED BY MOTOR CLUB VIHAT? hJO LETTERHEADS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, PHONE US and We’ll Print Some For You In A Hurry!! School Safety Patrol protection for every elementary and junior high school child in America • is called for in a far-reaching pro gram adopted by the Carolina Motor Club and other units of the American Automobile Association at the recent annual AAA when the grand life-saving^ j being done by school safety pafc members in America was acclaim ed. “At present some 275,000 mem bers of school safety patrols sponsored and equipped by AAA Motor Clubs daily protect the lives of about 8,000,000 children on their way to and from school,” Mr. Charles E. Boone, General Manager of the Carolina Motor Club, declared. “These patrols go to their posts two hundred mil lion times in a school year to pro tect their schoolmates. In the North Carolina area, the Carolina Motor Club is proud to have a part with school officials and police in sponsoring school safety patrols. “Much of the credit for the splendid safety record of school- age children—the best record of any age-group in the country dur ing the past fifteen years—is due the school safety patrols and their teacher-sponsors. Scores of com munities report not a single acci dent to a school child going to or from school for periods up to ten and twelve years since patrols were organized. It is the aim of the Carolina Motor Club and of the American Automobile Associa tion to encourage the extension of this protection to every school child in America, thus lessening the chance of injury to school children on the way to or from school. “It has been found, too, that ef fective safety patrol educational activities ‘carry-over’ with chil dren who cross patrol-guarded in tersections by developing safe walking habits which serve them in good stead at unprotected inter- sections. “The Carolina Motor Club will do everything possible to help school and police officers in mak ing patrol protection universally effective.” 1 MIL SE W FOR Mi ll RMUi Read These Important Facts!
