Uns in formation which was taken in part from the 1934 Chib Year Book, will be of especial 'Interest to all rural people. Everyone whose privilege it has been to meet Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon whether privately or publicly, knows that there is not a finer person any where for the position which she fills as State president.

This fund was to be used to help rural girlsget college training in their studies in Home Economics, In 1928 the North Carolina Federa tion of.
