Abstract:
In the 1930s, when electricity was introduced to the North Carolina countryside, people went around explaining all the new appliances that were coming into the lives of rural families. Pansy Dillard, a member of the Sylva 4-H Club in 1939, embarked on a learning project that involved giving demonstrations on the wonders and benefits of electricity. She kept a record of her project and created a book called, “My 4-H Records in Rural Electrification.”
