"Preparing an annual narrative re
port is not a most pleasant task and
yet it does bring to mind many accom
plishments that are satisfying and
some that are inspirational,” says
County Agent C. W. Overman. “This
has been the expedience of the county
agent and assistant agent in preparing
ithe 1952 annual narrative report.
While it brought to light the many
things we were able to help rural peo
ple accomplish it also brought to light
many things that should have been
accomplished.
"Our work in community organiza
tion and development did not progress
as well as we had hoped yet progress
was made. The people in Advance
community have started the erection
of a community building; Gliden com
munity made some progress toward a
community building. Center Hill com
munity has been very active in church
ground improvement, maintaining an “
active Boy Scout Troop, maintaining
active 4-H club work, roadside im- jy
provement and m arty other accomplish-
merits. 2
“4-H Club work throughout the ( j,
•county made very good progress dur
ing the year. The contests in com,
peanuts and poultry added stimulus
and the boys did a good job generally.
Lacking in our 4-H Club program is M
the system of community leaders and
this we plan to accomplish in 1953.” VI
Many other features of our 1952 w
county extension work is covered in
the 1952 report. This report is avail- so
able in the County Agent’s office to he
anyone who wishes to read it. Bi
"We wish ito express our apprecia
tion for the fine cooperation the many Fi
leaders and others gave us in helping G;
us to help farm people help them
selves. says Mr. Overman. so

ONE-TRIP BEDMAKING METHOD SAVES HOMEMAKER MANY STEPS
•Bhle. f

' v Too many homemakers waste motion in their daily bedmaking job. This photograph illustrates the
steps that can be saved if the bedmaking job is done properly with a one-trip technique. A light was. at
tached to the homemaker’s wrist to trace the actual motions she made in a complete job of bedmaking.
The photograph at left shows wasted motion in retracing steps several times around the bed when the J
homemaker uses a haphazard method of bedmaking. The photograph at right contrasts a systematic bed- i
making technique, with the light pattern showing only one complete trip around the bed and back, j
, (Story accompanies this photo.).
