Unauthorized Use
OF All Emblem Is
Banned bv the Law

College Station, Raleigh, June 20.
New recognition has been given
All Club work, sponsored by the Ex-
tension Service, with passage by Con-
gress and signing by the President
of a law prohibiting unauthorized
use of the All emblem, it was an
nounced today by L. r. Harrill, state
All Club leader.
The emblem is in the shape of a
green four-leaf clover with stem, and
white or gold H in each leaf The
4-H's represent Head, Heart, Hands
and Health, signifying the four-fold
development club members attain in
their farming and homemaking pro-
jects and club meetings.
''This legislation will be of assist
ance in discouraging those who wish
to commercialize on All Club ac-
tivity by using the name or emblem
on manufactured articles, or IN other
ways that have no connection with
club work." Harrill said.
"The language and intent of the
new law is clear 1t is unlawful for
any person falsely and with intent
to defraud' to pretend that he is a
representative of the All Clubs, or to
wear or display the All emblem to
induce the belief that he is a mem
Der of the All Clubs"
About 40 percent of the rural youth
OF America spend at least one or two
years in All Clubs, Harrill said. AT
present there are $4,000 clubs with
more than 100000 members in the
Nation. More than 7 OOO OOO ,r,ro1
boys and girls have worn the club
emblem and received the benefits of
club work. North Carolina has l.

leaders were trained and 1869 pro-

cases in which Negroes were defen-
dantS numbered 1892 as against s.

2. For purposes of local defense the
legislature of December 1864 pro-
vided that any number OF persons
of not less than ten, who are over SO

7O8 farm operators in the State that
work part time at other occupations.
4. In that year the Seventeenth

Capital Gossip

Raleigh, June 2O.-Department Of
Revenue officials have walked up tC
the fact that they are probably los
ing some perfectly good tax money
by not levying the building material
tax on construction work Of the
eighteen electrical cooperatives SCI
up under Federal REA sponsorship
in North Carolina.
They are now investigating the
possibilities; and if it is ultimately
decided that this tax can be collect
ed the coOpS will have received an
other unpleasant surprise as 1t never
seems to have occurred to them that
the levy might be due.

Raleigh, June 20.-Those good
Mecklenburgers who have been. plan
ming a new Revolution and March on
Raleigh should hesitate before start
ing anything rash.
DR.. c. C. Crittenden, secretary of
the State Historical Commission, to-
day said that the omission of MAY
20, IT'S" from the Great Seal OF
North Carolina as depicted on some
231 highway markers all over North
Carolina was purely for technical
reasons" The omission is not to be
taken, he said, as an indication that
the Commission is definitely of the
opinion that there was no Mecklen-
burg Declaration on that date
Considerable concern had been ex-
pressed in some quarters upon dis
cOvery recently that the much-con-
troverted' date does not appear on
the Great Seal on any of the mark
ers, although by legislative fiat it is
a component part of the official
Great Seal
DR.. Crittenden said that back in
1885 it was decided that it would
add to the legibility of the markers
if the smaller lettering which APP
pears on the Great Seal were omit
ted. In accord with that decision,
he said, not only have the words
MAY 20, ITS" been left off: but
there has also been omitted the word
"Constitution" which the official de-
scription of the Great Seal demands
Upon questioning Dr. Crittenden
would not admit that the Declaration
is proven historical event; nor
would he flatly deny that question
as to the Declarations authenticity
may have had something to do with
the omission. He said he'd "have
