Twelve HD dobs In Chowan County mmrnmmmmmm 0 Theme Is ‘Today's Home Builds Tomorrow's World' •Home demonstration work began jn North Carolina in 1911 when Dr. jane S. McKiimrbn was appointed to organize canning chibs for farm girls. Since that time these groups have grown into Home Demonstration Clubs. The County Home Agent works through these organized com mundty clubs that meet once a month.! In Chowan County theme are 12 Home, Demonstration Clubs. To help carry this tremendous work load, the agent) ' and specialist trains individual dub •leaders in such projects as 'Family Life, recreation, nutrition, clothing, and food conservation. These leaders then return to their individual clubs to give demonstrations in their special subjects. North Carolina has '67,518 home demonstration club members —more than any other state. Os these, nearly one-third are Negro women. The to tal number of clubs is 2,483. They are located in every county in the state. At present there are 178 white •home agents and assistants, making up a total field staff of 232. Home agents and specialists co operate closely with other agencies in carrying out their program. For example, health activities are con ducted in cooperation with .the State Public Health Department, County Health Departments and the State Tuberculosis Association. 'Recreation is conducted in cooperation with the State Recreation Commission, Reading, in cooperation with the State Library Commission. In recent years the training of home demonstration members has been broadened to include such subjects as citizenship, reading, health, recreation and music, the most recent of which is music. This program is designed to teach the appreciation of good music; to form the habit of listening to good music; to became interested in music history and interpretation of songs. Family Life has been a subject of special interest to home demonstration members in past years. Family Life leaders in Chowan County led 'the dis 9 cussion “Character and How It Crows” at one of the club meetings during the past year. The N. C..

A large part of the progress toward improved rural living has been due to a far-reaching educational program known as Home Demonstration Work. Mrs. P. P. Gregory, president of N. C. Federation of Home Demonstra tion Clubs, reminds the members that the theme, “Today’s Home IBuilds To morrow’s World” is more fitting this year than ever, since our country is engaged in a struggle for the preser vation of democracy. The home is a training ground for democracy, and the homemaker has a unique oppor tunity to further the appreciation and ' understanding of the freedoms won by jour forefathers. i VFW AND YOU BY JIMMIE CHURCH (Note: The views and informa tion given in this column are those of the writer and not VFW.
