Mrs. D. L. 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.
All prizes in the contest were
donated by the Chilean Nitrate
Educational Bureau, which spon
sored the contest last year and
will sponsor it again in 1940.

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.”
