From Extension-Farm News, published by the North Carolina Agricultural
Extension Service at N.C. State University, January, 1950.
Another
cabin was recently added to the 4-H Club camp in Western North Carolina when 62
interested persons, 37 men and 35 home demonstration club women, from
Transylvania County drove from Brevard over to the camp site and completed the
entire building in one day.
The three
pictures above show how rapidly the cabin took shape. The top picture was
snapped by J.A. Glazener at 11 a.m., the middle one at 12:45 p.m., and the
bottom one at 3 p.m. Before the sun went down, the last nail was driven, the
last stroke of the paint brush was made, and the cabin was complete.
All of the
materials for the building were donated by interested people in Transylvania,
and the labor was entirely donated, including the painting and wiring.
Although
the men did the construction work, the home demonstration women did their share
by preparing and serving the hungry workers a meal that was fit for a king. The
menu included chicken, fried, baked and with dumplings, fried ham, sausage,
beans, kraut, and pies and cakes.
