"FâLGBTO IMja "Achievement Day"" Shows Excellent Resulis hy Girls' Garden Club *Twenty-one members o! the Girls' Garden Club o! Durham County exhibited the fruits o! their gardening efforts at the O±Ïono Fair, Saturday, September $th, "Achievement Day." Under the capable guidance of Miss Jean Noble, Home Economist for Durham County, garden club members planted individual ve- getable plots early this spring, and throughout the summer nionths, besides caring for ber v~egetables, each girl carefully re- corded pertinent information for later examînation. Active members of the Club are between the ages o! 12 and 26, and many joined the organiz- ,ation in their community this spring. Seeds were obtained from the Department of Agriculture for *'less than cost" according ta Wiss Jean Noble, and the Train- Ing School for Leaders was held in April under the direction of -the Women's Institute Branch o! .Home Economics Service. Mary Hooyer, one of two girls taking their third and final year in the Club. had a fine display o! vegetables which included same unusual varieties. The second girl, Marjorie McLean showed ber canning achievements. Bath girls are from Blackstock. Among first year girls, Verna Larrrer bad the most original display, and showed a fine quality oDf vegetables. Away from the Fair, in the inorning o! exhibition day, Gard- en Club members from Bow- ýnanville, Hampton, Blackstock, Mount Pleasant, Millbrook and Kendal, convened at the Orano Town Hall and submitted them- selves ta garden quizz questions on gardon culture, vegetable cook- ery and flowcr arrangement. Club members also judged two classes e! vegetables and gave oral reasons substantiating their choice. According ta Miss Noble, the latter activity is invaluable ta a girl who wisbes ta express ber ideas in a lagical manner. Durham's Home Economist ex- ressed pleasure at increascd club enrolîment over 1949. She alsa comlimented club members an the "fine way in whicb you com- leted al yaur obligations." Each girl bad completed a Record Book which included records of plant- ing dates, diseases attacking gard- ens, and the use of vegetables. Comments were made on the books, and recommendatians were given those who devoted consid- erable time ta their records, and added ta their value by gather- ing useful articles for future ref- erence in gardening. Certificates 0f Achievement were givÊn on completion of four or twa l.inits to the following girls: Marjorie Lowes, Mount Pleasant; Ruth Fallis, Millhrook; Ruth Jackson and Marion White, Kendal; Norma Marshall, Mary Pickard. Hazel Webber, Bow- manville; Muriel Hindmnan and Nancy Coutts, Hampton; and Con- nie Swain, Joan Hoskin and Mary Wilson of Blackstock.
