Thursday, May 4, 1950 Home Demonstration Club Week Observed All over the nation spedal emphasis is being: given April 30 through May 6 to Home Demonstration clubs. It is to the home demonstration clubs of Wilkes county that this issue of The Journal-Patriot is dedicated. There are 18 clubs in Wilkes county with a total membership of 550 women. The clubs contain the home makers — the very best citizenship in the county. This newspaper tells in very brief and illustrated form some of the numerous accomplishments of the 18 clubs, to whom we extend congratulations during this Home Demonstration Week. To give some facts on a state level, we reproduce here the following comment by Verna Stanton, assistant state home demonstration agent: "The Home — Basis Of A Better World" is the theme for National Home Demonstration Week in North Carolina, April 30th - May 6th. During this special week attention will be focused on what' 63,242 Home Demonstration Club women kre doing in improving their .own homes and keeping their families well. At the same time, Home Demonstration club members are broadening their horizons and developing a better understanding of national and international affairs in every state, Hawaii, Alaska ad Puerto Rico. In the 2050 communities in North Carolina where Home Demonstration clubs are orgaized, women will celebrate the week with county-wide meetings, tours to improved homes, demonstrations, exhibits, radio broadcasts and newspaper articles. There will be community "Home Demonstration Days" t6 recognize the 32,264 leaders for their contribution to the de-i velopment of better homes and community life. Other activities will point up achievements as rural women hold open house across the State. x From a small beginning in 1911 the Home Demonstration Program in North Carolina has grown to an organization in -all of the 100 counties, with a membership of 63,242. This broad program features good home management, nutrition, food production and preservation, home furnishings, and color arrangements, family -relations, clothing for the family, citizenship, music appreciation, good reading, community activities, and many other interests of rural families. Better informed, healthier and happier rural people are important assets to our democracy. Rural people will continue to work toward these vital objectives as they improve homes and community life, which from the basis of a better world. % ■ , f\ - Concerts And The Community k In 1930 both artists and concert managers were foretelling: the twilight of the concert era. Not even the big-name artists were able to compete with the local movie house and the radio in the average American town. Only the large cities were able to support a concert season, and even there it took a national celebrity to fill a concert hall. Younger artists, just as competent to entertain but without a nationally known name, did not stapd a chance. But out of this gloomy picture there was born a new idea, one that not only has helped to keep the concert stage alive, but one which has brought a Carnegie Hall to towns which had never before considered the possibility of a concert season. This was the Organized Audience movement as set forth in the Community Concert Series plan. The success of the organized audience movement rests upon the unselfish efforts of volunteer committees and campaign workers who make possible permanent concert series in their home cities by perpetuating non-profit membership audiences. As a result of the-interest and efforts of these local volunteer workers, great music through great concerts is being enjoyed in almost everytown and city in thd United States and Canadk ranging in i&pulatio from a few thousands to the millions. The first Community Concert Association here was organized in 1948, and, since then, has been able to enjoy first class artists in local performances. This week volunteer workers • will invited you, the citizens of Wilkes, to join their Community Concert Association. By becoming a mem, ber of the association you will be doing much not only to provide the town with local entertainment but also to advance the general appreciation of good music well performed. The possibilities offered through the Wilkes Community Concert Association are limited only by the response of the local public. ai a result or a .special interest meeting given by Mitt Rote Elwood Bryan, Extension Specialist from Raleigh, Mrs. Wiley Brooks (center) president of the Fairplanet Club, is showing to Mrs. Bern Colvtvd (left) and Mrs. Claude Deal (right), a hooked rug which she has made. Many women in the county hate made and are continuing to make hooked rugs. (Photo By Lane's Studio)^ - ... i • ' " v ■ community house.
