COUNTY AGENT HAS BALANCED PROGRAM 1 (Continued From Page One) jt proposed is not enough. 1 Whatever other means are adapted, it is essential to ex-1 j pand public health work in urban 1 areas. The services called for 1 must include maternity and child ^ I hygiene, disease control and sani- j tation. ! f i j All children must have good1 s diets if the coming generation is j I to enjoy that degree of vigor and j j , health which science has shown v how to attain. Since most school t II children eat one meal away from j home, the school lunch program j is vety important. The dif- j ference between good living con- j dittons and average conditions here in North Carolina is shown c by the record of one of our N. C.'0 Orphanages. While the state re- s jection from military services 0 show that 58.6 per cent of all ^ 1 men called have been rejected, j only one man out of 104 called f from Thomasville Orphanage has s been rejected?why?(11 regular i; habits.

BETTER HOUSING IS o ULMKAHLt: t( Many rural farr\ilies live in si dwellings that cannot be consider- a ed# acceptable by any standard, tl A large number of our farm h homes are beyond repair, while r< an extremely high percentage of jt others are in need of major re- p pair, and are seriously lacking in n comforts. Few of our fanners p have running water and fewer have bathtubs and for too few families have electric lights. p I don't mean that farm people fi should spend their hard-earned o money on luxurious homes in v preference to items which will 1c increase the productive efficiency t< of the farm, but he must acquire le better homes in order to hold his children on farms and to attain a f< modest plant of modern living. v. Landlords, in order to keep de- is ! sirable tenants, must conform to b 1 minimum housing standards at d 'obacco Season i Mr. F L. . s\r All ^ t ur ah iv hes and Supplies and Wf er Systems, Poultry id General Hardwari ens - Whi Opposite Depot. east. The most feasible means i if improving farm homes lie in leveloping and making known11 :he kind of houses and methods 1 if construction and repair which' vill afford maximum satisfaction 'rom the money spent. We have iractically all the raw material j lere in our county for a program I >f better and more efficient' lousing, such as lumber, sand md labor. The need is for efficient plans for new houses and he cooperation of the farm peo-; Jle, business, and state and na- ^ ional agencies. SLECTRIFICATIOX NEEDED^ In the county, electricity is not nerely a convenience, but actualy a necessity for efficient farmng and living. Electricity on the 'arm will do more than furnish! ight, pump water, and operate iousehold equipment. It will lave many hours time of hard abor if properly harnessed. Twohirds of the county's farms are vithout electricity, some, it is rue, are not feasible to reach >ut most of them can be reached! n our post-war program. tURAL PEOPLE WANT lECREATION: Recently the Bureau of Agri-; ultural Economics made a study if Columbus County. This study howed the urgent need and want f better recreational facilities 10th with adults and the youth, J i"ew communities have any place' oi' any type of recreation, since chools have been consolidated. It 3 true that the consolidated chool gives the child a better! ducation, but it left a gap back | round the old one-teacher school ouse that needs to be filled. Farm communities need to recgnize that what they do, or fail o do, in making the locality ocially satisfying to both youth nd adults, will influence greatly lie kind of kgriculture they will ave in years to come. Adequate ecreational facilities are a deflite requirement of real imortance, and cannot be safely eglected or indefinitely post uneu. OTHER NEEDS A few other needs are telehone services, all-weather roads, irm people in on policy-making onferences, forest resources deeloped, improvement of tenantindlord relationship, credit syssm to protect borrower and nder, and farm produce markets. After due consideration of these sw points, I am sure that you 'ill agree with me that farming i a basic industry.
