Home Club
The March meeting of the
Home Demonstration Clulb of the
Purlear community was held with
Mrs. Nora Eller. After the roil
call and secretary’s report an
nouncement was made of the
County Council Meeting on A.pril
20. The president, Mrs. Nora Ell
er. appointed a committee to at-
si.st with the decoration tor the
Thir(f Federation District meet
ing of the Home Demonstration
Clubk from Caldwell, .alexander.
Avery and Watauga counties, to
be held May 23 at North M’ilkes-
boro. The committee appointed
was: Mrs. T. J. Cockerham, Mrs.
H. H. Rhodes, .Mrs. E. E. Hayes.
Mrs. Eller al.so appointed some
of the project leaders: Food and
Nutrition, .Mrs. J. T. Nichols;

tion. Mrs. H. H. Rhodes; Home
Gardens, Miss Nettie Y. McGlam-
ery; Parent Education, Mrs. W.
S. Fletcher.
The president then asked for a
report from Miss Nettie Y. Mc-
Glamery, Home Garden Project
Leader. Miss McGlamery reported
on a„ meeting which she had at
tended at W'ilkesboro on March
5, conducted by Miss Mary E.
Thomas. Nutrition Specialist of
North Carolina State College. Miss
McGlamery reports: “The garden
is an absolute necessity to a farm
er and his family; no other plot
of ground on the farm of similar
size contribute.^ more to the
health of the family. It is difficult
to evaluate in dollars and cents,
e.specialty when one considers the
value cf the fresh, juicy vege-
table.s, that one gathers from the
garden, and the actual cash sav
ings in the food budget for a
whole year; vegetaldes furnish
material for building and regulat
ing the body; green vegetables
ar.- especially important, as a
source of vitamins and minerals;
they contain vitamin A that
builds up resistance to disease
and prevention of colds, they fur
nish calcium for building bones
and teeth; tomatoes and yellow
vegetables rank high as a source
of vitamin A; tomatoes and Irish
potatoes are good sources of vita
min C.
Miss McGlamery finished her
report with a very conclusive
statement: “Our Health Comes
from the Garden.”
.After Miss ‘McGIamery’s report.
Miss Harriet McCrOogan. home
agent, gave an Interesting demon-
‘tration on Furniture Arrange
ment. Later the hostess served
refreshments and the club ad
journed to meet again in April.
