COLORED PEOPLES 4-H CLUB
NEWS
Clubs Folks, the new year for
club work for us started December
Ist. If you have done your best in
1938, now start with new determi
nations to make the best better.
Twelve and one-half years I have
tried to help you to see and know
the good of 4-H club work. Men, I
hope you, too, have been helped by
your wives being club workers. Why
not you be inclined to work should
er to shoulder with us in this work?
It is absurd to think that there is a
dividing line between so-called men’s
interest and women’s interest in this
work. lam glad to report that club
women, club girls and boys have
been this year “the power behind the
throne” as to food and nutrition fpt
the farm men who are not interest
ed in extention work. I want you to
know what extention work is: It
is just doing your work in the home,
on the farm, and your community
better. So let us all pull together,
and quit saying it is time lost to at
tend club meetings. Remember,
you cannot get something out of
anything you have not put some
thing into it.
tt t t
It is only 19 days before Christ
mas. Let every club member think
of those who need to be made happy
who are not as fortunate, perhaps,
as we, and begin to make some in
expensive gift to give or send to
them. Get out of self, and think of
others. Think not of receiving, but
of giving.
Girls, start your new Record
Books for 1939, and keep check on
them, and keep them nice and clean.
Start your project work for 1939,
and the girl whose work and best
record book kept, will be given a
free trip to the State Short Course
to be held in Savannah.
Those who are in the debate to
be held during Christmas holidays,
get busy. I repeat, the subject for
debate is: Resolved, That Possum
and Sweet Potatoes are Better than
Chicken and Watermelon. Remem
ber, that this debate is to be held in
various communities, Gum Springs,
New Grove, Poplar Springs, Daniel
Grove, and any other communities
or clubs who would like to have it.
This is to raise funds for the bene
fit of schools and clubs.
tt t t
Club Members and Teachers, I am
sure those of your who do not take
The Jackson Herald, have looked for
me at your schools and clubs. It has
been annual report making time,
and I have been kept in office for
quite a while, trying to accomplish
the tedious job. I have visited sev
eral clubs and schools, and found
schools, some of them, over crowded,
and club work still going-on. You
may expect me to make my rounds,
as usual. Please keep something at
your school clubs to work with, and
to work on. Prepare your work for
the fairs to be held.

Little White Windmill .
By DOROTHY PIPER
McClure Newspaper Syndicate,
WNU Service. I
TACK was a good-looking younf
•J lawyer, and Jill was an equally
good-looking young lady, who
stayed at home and kept house for
her old dad. Every pleasant after
noon, Jack and Jill went up the hill,
not to fetch a pail of water, but
to get an excellent view of tne
harbor, which was obtained from
a certain high point of land.
Jill’s father was a maker of nov
elties and his shop was a familiar
landmark on Main street. Even
the old-fashioned front-yard was a
toyland in itself, for a dozen little
Indians paddled their Own canoes,
jolly jack tars juggled miniature
oars, and gaily painted windmills
spun merrily in the breeze, all for
the benefit of the passerby.
The old toy manufacturer carved
his toys in the rear of the store,
while his lovely daughter attended
to the customers. And business was
exceedingly good, for a vacationist
seldom left Seaport without buying
a souvenir of the quaint little vil
lage. That was how Jack had be
come acquainted with Jill. He
SHORT SHORT
STORY
Complete in This Issue
dropped in one day to purchase •
sailor boy to do police duty atop
his private garage. One glimpse of
Jill, and Jack bought a small navy
of sailor boys.
It was almost a fortnight, how
ever, before he plucked up enough
courage to invite Jill to go riding.
Jill was willing, but her father was
skeptical.
“Better stick to your own kind,”
was his simple logic. “These city
fellers are all right in their place,
but when they take up with a poor
little country girl, no good can come
of it."
At length the old man, too, was
won over by Jack’s steady brown
eyes and Jill experienced the first
thrill of her lifetime.
Jill couldn’t dance; she didn’t as
pire to wear Parisian gowns; but
she was real, and she knew the
rough coast-country as a mariner
knows the seven seas. Under her
guidance, Jack piloted his car over
miles and miles of sand dunes.
Together they “picnicked” in quiet
coves, together they swam in sun
kissed bays, and Jack marveled at
Jill’s dexterity and fearlessness in
the water. She was a graceful, un
tamed gull, that describes her, and
in the privacy of his room, an en
chanting young bachelor found him
self whistling, “I’m Falling in Love
With Someone.”
Jill never guessed that Jack’s
friendship was of a deeper nature
until the afternoon they discov
ered the hill. The girl had sighted
a big liner, and with childish glee
was picturing herself aboard it,
bound, perhaps, for foreign lands.
Jack hadn't even seen the steamer,
but was content to gaze upon the
delightful contour of Jill’s wistful
little face.
Quite abruptly, he seized her in
his arms and cried: “Jill, I love
you, I’ve got to have you, say you
will be mine always!”
The girl’s surprise overpowered
her emotions; she had no sense
of joy or dismay. “I’ll see,” she
said, and her voice sounded far
away.
October came, and Jack’s return
to the city was imperative. Upon
his last day in Seaport, he called
with the car to take Jill for a final
spin. When she joined him, she car
ried a tiny white windmill under
her arm. “Please take me to our
hill,” she exclaimed, as she seat
ed herself beside him. “I want to
stake my claim.”
Jack wondered all the way to their
destination, but he asked no ques
tions. When they reached the top
of the hill, Jill produced two nails,
and with the aid of a stone she
fastened the windmill in a branch of
a sturdy oak tree. Then, with a
piece of red crayon, she wrote,
“Jack and Jill” upon one side of
the windmill.
“What’s the big idea?” asked
Jack, impatiently.
“I’m going to let fate decide our
destinies,” Jill replied, solemnly.
“Two months from now I want
you to come back to Seaport. If our
names have weathered the storms,
if they are still clear and distinct,
why, I’ll be yours for always. But
if—”
Just two months later Jack re
turned to Seaport. The roads were
snowbound, almost impassable, so
he and Jill made the trip to the
hill on snowshoes. The inscription
on the windmill was as clear as the
day Jill had written it.
No one saw the lovers embrace.
Nothing broke the silence save the
intermittent whir of the little white
windmill. And no one, except
Jill, knew of the tramp she had
taken the day before, for the pur
pose of retracing the words, “Jack
and Jill.”
Which only goes to prove that,
city girls or country girls, there’s
a little bit of schemer in them all.
