Monday, May 3, 1948 Worth Caroline »Jk Assocuno T. Home Demonstration Week Is Observed '^Today's Home Builds Tomorrow's World" is the theme for National Home Demonstration week when rural women study the special needs of their own com munities. According to Mrs. Annie H. Greene, Home . Demonstration Agent, Wilkes County's 550 Home Demonstration Club members are busily engaged making plans for programs calling attention to the progress made in family living. The progress these women have made during the past several years is highly commendable. They are becoming more conscious of better health and nutrition of their families. They have answered the calls for more food conservation and preservation. They have equipped their homes with more modern conveniences and helped to beautify the surroundings S>f their homes for a more happy way of life. The officers and project leaders of all the Home Demonstration Clubs have been very cooperative and willing to work, have been willing to follow as well as lead. The presidents of the clubs are: Pleasant Ridge, Mrs. T. G. Walsh; Cling man, Mrs. Woodroe Mathis; Ronda, Mrs. Grady Dimmette; Millers Creek, Mrs. M. F. Bumgarner; Boomer, Mrs. Ralph Swan son; Moravian Falls, Mrs. C. F. Bretholl; Lewis Fork, Mrs. Cyrus Whittington; Mountain View, Mrs. Claude Johnson; Mulberry, Mrs. Trealy Harrold; Pores Knob, Mrs. J. M. Bentley; Fairplains, Mrs. Wiley Brooks; Cricket, Mrs. D. E. Turner; Roaring River, Mrs. Ted Carpenter; Fer guson, Mrs. Amelia Shepherd; Gilreath, Mrs. Gussie Scott. Possibly there are folks who wonder why we have Home Demonstration Week at all. If that's as far as we go, then it's high time we had more Home Demonstra tion Weeks because the Home in Home Demonstration Week belongs to you. In other words, the whole purpose of setting aside a definite week, May 2-8 is to tell more people about home demon stration work. The best way to do that is to describe what homemakers are do ing right here in this State. And there are 100 counties in North Carolina and 3,000 • other counties in the United States that have the same idea. At the same time, it applies whether you live in own or on the farm. And don't let anybody tell you it doesn't concern the men for it does—good homes are for everybody who lives in them, not just good food on the table but safety, health, convenience, and pleasant recreation. It's all in the home demonstration pic ture. In North Carolina there are 2,221 such clubs with an enrollment of 56,021 women. Together they work voluntarily on projects chosen by the women them selves such as foods and fami'y nutrition, better buying practices, making new clothes from old, ironing the easiest way, tailoring, upholstering, and interior deco ration. They're constantly making inroads on household drudgery by modernizing rooms and placing heavy loads on wheels —simplifying work. They stave off that rainy day by developing home budgets, aiding with the financial planning for the family, while setting aside a nest egg for the children's education and for security in old age. pMrs. Edison Davenport, past president of the State Federation of Home Demon stration Clubs, expresses it this way: "A happier, more efficient and more beauti ful home is the goal of every home dem onstration clubwoman, but in striving to reach that goal, let ua remember in this National Home Demonstration Week that the most important room in any home is the room for self-improvement." Btrrtwed C»mmentl TIMELY WARNING (Charlotte Observer, April 26, 1948) While considering the appeals of the various candidates running for State and national offices in the pre-primary cam paign, the tax-burdened citizen would dp well to give heed to the warning sounded by J. Paul Leonard, executive' secretary of the North Carolina' Fair Tax Associ ation. In a recent address he declared: "The tragedy of the present political campaign in North Carolina is the lack of well-de fined economy and tax-relief planks in the platforms of the numerous candidates seeking offices which will qualify them as tax-spenders if elected." Mr. Leonard, speaking -as the cham pion of economy in government, for which he has been working for years past, com plained that "practically every candidate is profuse in his assertions -of the liberal ity he intends to practice in the spending of our tax money, but too few are telling us anything whatever about what they intend to do toward saving tax money through adoption of economy measures in the operation of our ever-expanding State government, which, like our Feder al government, calls for ever-increasing appropriations that cannot be met with out perpetuation of the present inflated tax income which every thinking citizen knows is due to abnormal conditions which are artificial in nature." Doing some vigorous campaigning him self for the Fair Tax association, Mr. Leonard has called upon North Carolina economy advocates to use their influence now, before the ballots are cast in the pri mary. "Now, before they are nominated," he says, "is the time for economy-minded taxpayers to let candidates—particularly candidates for our State and national leg islative bodies—know their views on the fiscal policies of both State and Nation. Now is the time for you to use your best efforts-to create public sentiment to force caftfildates to take a stand in i favor of, economy and tax relief." The Fair Tax association executive ad mits, as he says "right-thinking citizens know," that "our public schools merit ad ditional funds," but he urges that we "in sist that there be no general spending orgy by the next Legislature just because our inflated tax income is piling up a large surplus" and says "let's not permit revelry in our State's present financial paradise to lead us into fiscal disaster lat-1 er on." Finally, "we'd better start apply ing the brakes now before we get into a J dangerous skid." The Fair Tax association's warning is timely. n ______ • LIFE'S BETTER WAY t WALTER E. ISENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 . WHEN MY SONG BEGINS TO SING When my song.begins to sing There is joy within my soul, Then I praise my Lord and King For the way He takes control, As I worship Him and pray, * And the blessed things I see. As I travel on life's way. Chorus When my song begins to sing Sweetest praises fill my heart, And the joys of heaven bring Their rich graces to impart, Till my soul is filled with love For my Master and my King, And with goodness from above, ~ When my song begins to sing. When my song begins to sing Heaven seems so very near, And this is the grandest thing To uplift with peace anch cheer, Keeping one from sinking down Underneath life's heavy load, And from losing harp and crown Up in heaven's blest abode. When my song begins to sing, Hallelujah! Satan flees, Till it seems that heav'nly spring Softly floats upon the breeze, And that Jesus whispers low; "I will lead you through the strife To the home where Christians go, . In the Glory Land of Life." Lumbermen* Mutual IIIVII9 ITlWIimV Increases In Strength Jimmy Allen of tbe Sentinel Insurance Agency, reports hav ing just received from Lumber mens Mutual Casualty Company, of Chicago, which he represents locally, an advance copy of its printed financial statement cov ering 1947. "In 1947 the Company again increased assets and surplus, as it has every year since organiza tion in 1912—a record of unin terrupted progress unique in in surance history," aays Mr. Allen. "At the year's end, assets were 178,119,375.52, an increase of $10,700,889.01 over 1946, and surplus had been increased by $500,000.00 to $10,500,000.00. "Total sales for the first time exceeded $50,000,000.00. The to tal was $59,039,688.87, an in crease of $14,821,318.21, or 33.5 per cent over 1946. This amount of increase in itself exceeded the premiums of the Company for any year prior to 1932. "Dividends to policyholders were $6,819,842.99. The net bal ance of earnings after Federal taxee and after dividendg to pol icyholders was $1,768,126.69. After placing $500,000 of this amount in the surplus account, the balance was added to the reserve for undeclared dividends to policyholders." Mr. Allen saye that Lumber mens, from its experience as a large writer of automobile in surance, and in campaigns for public safety, ha» listed four fac tors currently contributing to the terrible toll of death and injury on the highways. They are: (1) Drivers under the age of 25 con stitute 32 per cent of all the drivers involved in fatal acci dents; (2) Drinking while driv ing is a major cause. Statistics from one state (California) in dicate that over two-thirds of license revocations are for drunk en driving; (3) Mechanically de ficient cars still contribute heav ily to accident frequency and se verity; (4) Lack of courtesy, care and conscience is lacking on the part of many drivers, par ticularly teen-agers. Production of milk per cow in North Carolina averaged 330 pounds during March compared with 286 pounds during Febru ary. Census Enumerator Canvassing Output Lumber shortages which have existed since \he latter part of the war make the results of the annual sawmill Burvey of the U. S. Bureau of the Census of prime importance, according to District Supervisor Clinton C. Oldham with offices at Ashevllle, N. C. Census enumerators under Supervisor Oldham's direction have started canvassing sawmills in this area to gather reports of the current sawmill survey which this year is being taken as part of the 1947 Census of Manufac turers. The major .part of the manufacturers census will - be carried out by mail but all saw mills will be visited by Census Bureau field people since it is almost impossible to build up ac curate mailing lists for this in dustry by reason of its mobility and the out-of-the-way locations of many sawmills. Figures developed from the sawmill survey will include data on luiqber production, value of NOTICE North Carolina, Wilkes County. In the Superior Court Before the Clerk W. P.

The lumber production information by species will be available by coun ties, making It especially useful for analyzing local condition®. Supervisor Oldham referred to a recent etatement by Census Di rector Capt which pointed out that reporting in the Census of Manufactures is mandatory. He emphasized that the same law which required reporting also requires that all individual re ports and figures submitted to the Census Bureau be held in strict confidence. Information re ported to It cannot be used for purposes of regulation, investiga tion, or taxation because the Cen sus Bureau, under the law, can not reveal individual figures or other information to any person other than sworn empk>yee8 of the Census Bureau.
