Western Prong Young Farmer
Wins Columbus Juyeee Award

- SouhS "SSlClH l'IO1S 1aTIn-
or who started out in 1914 on
4 commission basis with his
father has been named "Colum-
bus County'S Outstanding Young
Farmer of 1858" by the Tabor
City JayceeS.
Billy Hooks. 81. will represent
Columbus County in the state
wide contest next month to Sc
lect North Cardinals top young
farmer.
His father, the late eBill'
Hooks, was regarded by farm
officials as one of the best
farmers in Eastern North Caro-
lima.
Billy'S story is one of n young
man who approached the farm
ing operation with the eye of a
businessman. He experimental
with livestock and kept abreast
of new developments i'm farming
which made it possible for him
TO utilize every acre to the best
advantage.
In 1914 he started to work on
the farm with commission basis
setup. IN 1945 he purchased a
small farm, 20 cleared acres. 4.3
acres tobacco allotment. two
acres of peanuts, and 1877 acres
corn. Today this farm has 70.3
acres cleared and in addition to
the above crops he has diverSi-
fled the operation to include
grain and sweet potatoes. In the
beginning the farm had only a
tenant house. pack house and
tobacco barn. Today it has two
tenant houses. three tobacco
barns, two pack houses. a 10000
modern 5000 square feet brick
home and a new office with $40
square feet of space.
The secret. to a great extent.
of this young farmers accom-
plishmentS might easily be his
initiative. ingenuity and indus
triousness. Very little of the
normal repair work on the farm
is done by outside interests. a
machine shop takes care of most
mechanical difficulties and Billy
has studied enough about vctcr-
marian work that he manages
to care for all livestock.
Proof of his all around ability
lies in the recently completed
office. Less than five dollars
was paid for labor on the $40
square feet building. IT wasn't.
uncommon for his friends to-
find him doing electrical work
laying bricks. or welding al
hammer while the building con-
struction was underway.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov
14.-You really aren't quite
prepared for the wonderful
thing that happens when you
see an Irene collection.
The salon of all rosy beige
with Greek columns. a run
way that has white carpet
ing finished off in long fringe,
and parakeets tweet-tweeting
in gilded cages, comes as a
bit of a shock. The buildings
that house the fabulous Irene
couture operation look like
giant-sized concrete cartons
from the outside. Of in the
Culver City distance are oil
derricks. Some wells still gush
forth now and then, we were
told.
Once you walk up the red
carpet. however, leading into
Irene's establishment, you're
in another world. The serene
quality she herself possesses
is apparent in the decor as
we'll as in her clothes, which
have earned her a very spe-
cial niche in the world Of
fashion.
She greeted the fashion
press wearing a suit which
she told me was Is years old.
81 bring it out every five
years and wear it," she owned
up. The jacket is made Of a
paisley shawl that belonged
to her grandmother and is
appliqued on black wool. The
greatest exponent of the
longer jacket in the tailored
suit category, Irene continues
to show the impeccably cut
line. in black and white
checked suits, gray stripes
and in solid black fabrics.
Gail Patrick was in the
audience jotting down the
styles that appealed to her
at the showing.
The fabulous fabrics en-
ployed by Irene often come
about through some of her
own efforts. A recent trip to
Paris found her there at a
time when the peonies were
at their most beautiful. Buy
ing a huge bunch at a flower
stall, she then went to Bian-
chini. the famous silk firm,
and threw the peonies on
the floor.
"Call your artist" she re-
quested. Draw what you
see," she told him.

to 60 back to the 30s for III
spiration. He helped create
the look Of the soft crepe

and the slim, figure-flattering
clothes that are returning to
favor once again.
Supple fabrics again loom
on the scene. Ruled out are
eccentricities in design and
the natural curves that are a
woman's greatest fashion as
set, he believes, are back
once again. He endorses the
rounded hip line and the
tapered-a -the-bottom look in
a dress. Famous for his

The result is one of the
most beautiful waltz length

answer to the desire Of
women for an evening length

between a f1oor-length gown
