FARM AND HOME WEEK CANCELED Farm and Home Week, annual State- wide gathering of farmers and farm women whlfch had been scheduled on the State College campus from August 30 to September 3, will not be held in 1948, it has been announced by Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the North Carolina extension service. Decision to postpone the event until the summer of 1949 was made in Raleigh recently after a conference of officers of the State Farmers Convention and the North Carolina Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs with Dr. A. C. Bulla, Wake county health officer, and other college and farm leaders. Director Schaub expressed re gret that the college could not have the farmers and their wives as guests this summer. "W? feel, however, that the decision to postpone Farm and Home Week is advisable under( the circumstances," he said. "We could not ask the people of the State to take and health risk by attending so large a gathering." It was also decided to cancel plans for the older youth gather ing which had been suggested as a substitute for the annual 4-H Club Week. The 4-H program, scheduled (or U)e week of August 23, had previously been cancel led because of the prevalence of polio in the State. The College had plans to en tertain 5,000 or more farm men |and women and had prepared Eof the best programs in the nt history of Farm and Home k. More than $6, OX) worth of farm machinery, equipment, and other gifts had been secured for use as prizes. Colonel J. W. Harrelaon, State College chancellor, said that plans would be started im mediately for a larger and better Farm and Home Week in 1949. TRIES THREE TWES Los Angeles ?
