First Prizes, Sweepstakes, Gold
Medals are high sounding words, but
represent Facts in Newark vicinity.
Last week the Post mentioned the
Boys and Girls Clubs exhibits at
the Fair. Knowing the community
all these years, the Post should have
predicted this wonderful success.
Sometimes it has been said that our
imagination gets the better Of our
Judgment. But this time Judges and
Judgment went us one better.
The Glover Leaf Club of Welsh
Tract has a lucky name, but Merit
counts at the Fair. The Club may
be lucky in name, and it is lucky in
it's club leader, Mrs. Clarke McCarns,
but it was the work of the leader and
the girls that brought home the hon
ors. ..
So many there are, that it sounds
like exaggeration to enumerate them.
Margaret Jarmon, aged 13, daughter
of George Jarmon, on the Wilson
farm at foot of Iron Hill, came away
with two First Prizes, three Second
Prizes and the Sweepstakes. This
was not local contest, not county
contest, but represented the whole
State. Over $50 contestants were
entered, ranging from IL to 1s years

took first in Outer Garment, first in
Under Garment and second in darn
ed, patched and household articles.
Then, not satisfied, she took the
Sweepstakes Prize which represents
the best all-round exhibit by any
second year girl In the State.
An interesting feature in the con-
test, the first in Household Article,
went to Doris Jarmon, the eleven
year old sister of the champion.
In the Clothing Judging contest
the Glover Leaf Club took the State
Gold Medal, competing with teams
from Dover, Milford and such big
towns. The club was represented ic
the judging team by Misses Rebecca
Hutchinson, Edith McCarns and Mar
garet Jarmon.
The judging for the exhibit was
headed by Wilmington professionals

going down to the little school out ir
the country, such as Welsh Tract.
To Miss Agnes Medill, County Clut
Leader, and Mrs. Clarke McCarns
comes the deserved praise and salts
faction of year of accomplishment
To win in the manner these children
did is no ordinary compliment. The
recorded fact is sufficient praise.
