Home Demonstration Work Helped Me
By MRS. VALOLAjROITN’i’REE, President of Center Hill
Negro Home Demonstration Club
“ Home Demonstration W ojf'k
Serves The People”—North Caro
lina’s theme for National Home
Demonstration Club Week does
just that. ,■/;
This week makes me think baek
through the years and realize jtfjft
how home demonstration work hap
helped me. It was back in' 1946
that we first had a home demon
stration agent to work with our
women and girls. I joined the
Center Hill Club that year and re
member clearly my first meeting.
Our home agent explained that if
we come to our meetings eftch
month we would learn many thHgs
to help us improve our meals, can
ning, sewing, gardens, health, sani
tation, houses, furniture, how to
save time and energy, how to be
better citizens and many other
things to improve ourselves and
families.
In the eleven years of club work
I have missed only a few meet
ings. I know that I must attend
regularly if I am to learn and keep
up. I have learned many things.

: some of them are: How to plan
apd cook meals to give the foods
we need every day; how to grow a
i variety of vegetables; how to can
fruits, meat, vegetables, fish and
fish roe; to keep my home and
surroundings clean; how to have a
convenient, attractive kitchen; how
to do simple sewing and to care
for clothes; how to do different
housekeeping jobs; how the fami
ly should work i together, play to
gether and work together in the
community to make it a better
place in which to live. I know
there is much more for me to learn
and I will continue meeting my
club and county meetings to this
end.
I would like for each woman to
join the neighborhood home dem
onstration club. You have one
near you. You will be glad you
did.

Mrs. Rountree is very active in

THE CHOWAN HERALD, StDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA; THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1957. ~
nishings and vice presidnt of the
County Council of Home Demon
stration Clubs. She and her hus
band, Caley, work closely with the
Extension Service. In the last
year, with the help of the farm
and home agents and Extension
specialists, they planned and built
a convenient, attractive home, do
ing much of the inside them
selves. They made wall and base
cabinets for the kitchen, built stor
age for clothing, painted all rooms,
finished floors, made some of their
furniture and landscaped their sur
roundings. Mrs. Rountree made
curtains and other articles for the
home.
All families will not build homes
but there is much all can learn to
improve what we already have
and other things to improve family
and community living.
Rocky Hofk Club Can
Boast 100% Meeting
Rocky Hock Home Demonstra
tion Club can boast of 100 per cent
attendance at its April meeting,
held last week. Although one mem
ber was not present when the club
met at the home of Mrs. Kermit
Perry, she made up her meeting at
another club—a practice encourag
ed by the home agent for all such
circumstances.
An inspirational devotion by
Mrs. Henry Bunch opened the
meeting. The business session was
then conducted with announce
ments made about the observance
of National Home Demonstration
Week April 28-May 4. Loretta
Bunch, Becky Harrell, Esther Lay
ton and Mary Alice Perry, 4-H
club members, were to represept
the club in the Music Festival,
singing “Lord, Lay Some Soul
Upon My Heart.” Two members
planned to attend the District Fed
eration meeting in Elizabeth City.
In her demonstration, Miss Mai
dred Morris, home agent, told the
group that every home can be
lovely with the careful selection of
colors and fabrics to add charm,
eye appeal, and warmth. The club
members were given rug, uphols
tery and drapery samples with
painted wall boards and were ask
ed to assemble “a room”. These
were criticized and improved to
emphasize her demonstration “Se
lection of Fabrics and Colors.”
After adjourning the women
present “re-decorated their homes”
while they enjoyed refreshing
goodies yprved by-thaipatess.,^
