Pireway HD Club Is Organized By Thirty-Five Women In July, 1941 The Pireway Home Demonstra tion Club was organized in July, 1941 at a meeting at Pireway Ferry. Approximately 35 women were present along with some visitors. Hattie Pearl Mallard was Home Demonstration Agent then. Mrs. W. E. Jacobs was named president and Mrs. Bruce Gore I was elected secretary. Plans were made for an all-day outing at a near-by beach. Mrs. W. E. Jacobs attended the Short Course held in Raleigh that year. The club disbanded after Miss Mallard left and was reorganized by Genevieve Eakes in September. Officers named then were: Mrs. J. M. Gore, Sr., president; Mrs. J. L. Gore, vice president; Mrs. jW. E. Jacobs, secretary, i Meetings were held in the homes of various members until j 1945 when Miss* Eakes left the Extension service. Nan Ratliff ! then became Home Agent and the first meeting under her guidance was hetd in the home of Mrs. j J. L. Gore. I Officers named were: Mrs. J. M. ! Gore, Jr., president; Mrs. J. "L. LEADERS AIM AT (Continued From Page Onel leading us toward goals we must! reach. What are we doing ? At the i start of Extension Work there were no Home Demonstration! Clubs. Today there are nineteen: clubs; all are very active with! i the exception of two months in! t the summer when several dis- j [band during the busy harvesting; I season. Each club meets monthly, eith-1 I er in a community building, or in ! a club member's home. The de- j monstrations are planned by the i Home Demonstration Club mem-1 bers themselves a year in advance) and they include clothing con-! struction, tailoring garments, the utlization of feed bags, many phases of nutrition, food conser vation and preservation, care of household equipment, phases of hygiene, community service, his tory of our government, family Gore, vice president; Miss Gladys Canady, secretary. Miss Canady has since become Mrs. J. T. Ben ton and Mrs. W. E. Jacobs has taken her place. Much progress in poultry rais ing, canning, sewing and general home improvement has been made. Leaders of the club have said that they are glad to help non members of the community with any problem which may confront them. Gayle Wells, assistant Home Demonstration agent, came to Col umbus County last year and the program has been enlarged through her help. Members of the organization are Mrs. M. A. Long, Mrs. C. M. Larrimore, Mrs. Ogilva Elderdice, Mrs. D. M. Canady, Mrs. W. L. Puckett, Mrs. J. A. Jacobs, Mrs. T. L. Sing, Mrs. Melvin Long, Mrs. Lula Long, Mrs. Beulah Grice, Mrs. Herman Smith, Mrs. J. Lester Gore, Miss Esther Gore, Mrs. Major Gore, Sr., Mrs. Major Gore, Jr., Mrs. J. R. Gore, Mrs. W. E. Jacobs and Mrs. V. L. Canady. life, and social for the entire family are very much a part of I the program. A Home Demonstration Club i member does not stay home and, wrojk, all of the time by any j mean^. Though her clubwork she! has access to the very lastest | data on canning time tables, { nutrition, etc. which usually ap pears in the monthly magazines anywhere from several months to a year ? later for "Mrs. Average Citizen". With this leisure time, she has time for Home Demon stration Tours such as the trip to Manteo to see the play, "The Lost Colony", in 1947, a tour of the Charleston Gardens in 1948, and a trip to Southport and the Wilmington Gardens in 1949. Again, after several years, members of the Homemakers Home Demonstration Club of Ta bor City, Rt. 2, will see that Columbus County is represented [ at the Farm and Home Week I What do we want to do in the > future ? We, the Home Demon-! stration Club members and the; Home Demonstration Agents of j Columbus County, want to be good citizens, neighbors, and leaders, i We dream of the day when I there will be a Home Demon-! stration Building equipped with a kitchen, clothing laboratory which i can double as a banquet hall or ' assembly hall, market space, and I office room. If this building were available and equipped it would solve the many questions and problems of: where can we have the District Federation of Home Demonstra tion Clubs meeting ? Where can we have our 4-H and H. D.'j County Council meetings ? Where can we have our H. D. and 4-H Achievement Banquet? where can the 4-H recreational programs be (held? where can the H. D. Lead ers Training School be held ? | ! where can the 4-H Neighborhood | classes in clothing, food prepara tion, arts and crafts, etc. which j require much supervision be held? There are many, many other pro blems this building would solve. Other counties have such a build ing; why can't the Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs in Col umbus County work and strive to reach this goal? In the future, it's our goal to, have a Home Demonstration Club in everw section of the county, to have meetings twice a month, more special interest meetings, more result demonstrations, more community buildings, and to use the 4-H motto, "TO MAKE THE BEST BETTER". LONG LAPSE IN Continued From Page One when work was again discontinued due to the resignation of the Home agent. Organization plans had been made for Pireway, Old Dock, Nakina, Cerro Gordo, Ever green, Cherry Grove, Bolton, New Hope, Clarendon, Oakdale, Crusoe Island, Whiteville rural section, Boardman, Freeman and Acme Delco. During her stay here Miss Mal lard cooperated directly with the following organizations: Federat ed Woman's Club, Girl Scout, I which meets at State College in Paleigh, N. C. This is a week in which both rural men and women see demonstrations given by ex-j perts on improved farm and heme practices .Entertainment such as Bob Hawk's nationally known quiz program in only one of the manyl forms of entertainment planned: for those who attend. ? The Home Demonstration Club member does not sit back and wait for someone to ask her to contribute to the Red Cross Drive, Cancer Drive, the March of Dimes, j or any of the other worthy cam- j paigns; the leader in the club who i has been assigned to "Community Life" will remind her fellow club members that it is time to con-1 tribute to "that" Drive and she I either takes the contribution and! sees that it goes to the' proper j center or keeps a record of the amount which has been given' through another channel. Reading good literature is j rapidly coming into the spotlight, i The Columbus County Librarian, i Miss Edna Creech, has done much to help in this field and already | reading certificates have been awarded to a number of Home Demonstration Club members. Farm Security Administration, Works Projects Administration, National Youth Administration, Rotary Club, County Welfare De partment, County Health Depart ment and the Parent-Teacher As sociation. DRIVE FOR AGENT ? Continued 'row f farmer's rally held in June, 1917 in the interest of the Conservat ion Program being sponsored by the state. The text of her speech is as follows: "I know the women are eager to do their part in the State Con servation Program, but if they are to work effectively they too must organize just as the far mers are organized through their county agent. I believe that the best means whereby the women may effectively cooperate with this program would be through Home Demonstration Clubs under the leadership of the home agent, who is the co-worker of the coun ty agent." Mrs. Powell further pointed out what other coimties were do ing in Home Demonstration Clubs and she expressed the hope that the Columbus County farmer's rally group would endorse the suggestion. Tables Turned It was lunch hour at the pla and Pat's two buddies decided play a little joke on him duriq his absence. They drew the fed tures of a donkey upon the bad of his coat. In due time Pat turned and presently came sight bearing the lime-decorat coat. "What's the trouble, Pat It asked one casually. "Nothing much." replied equally indifferent, "only I'd Ulj to know which one of yea wtp your face on me coat." ?Cash Ye MR.
