[ A Demonstration. !• In our community, as ip oth ers, there are the newly married and other families who wish ‘to «et up housekeeping. This Better Homes campaign should provide them with the help they need. 2. There are premises unkempt or poorly planned. / This campaign will encourage the cleaning up of such premises, the improvement of the grounds, the planting of window box es, shrubs, flower gardens, etc» 3. Often new homes ore planned with the view to looking well only. Through the Better Homes demonstra tions can be shown the best types of house plans from which it is possi ble to build under present conditions for families in moderate clrcumstanc : es. A 4. There may be families in the communities who think good taste : and comfort in furnishings are possi ; ble only for the well to do. Through i the demonstration it is thought to be - shown that beauty and comfort are . consistent with economy in house fur nishing. 5. In the surrounding communities > there are probably many home mak * ers who are suffering from needless drudgery due to lack of knowledge of labor saving devices. oY of the best . ways of arranging furniture and uten ' sils to facilitate house work. This Better Homes Demonstration should be able to demonstrate ways of re ducing such burdens to a minimum. 6. There may be families suffer ing from insanitary housing condi tions or unwholesome living condi tions that, also will be benefitted by studying sanitary conditions at the Better Home demonstrated. 7. There may be inadequate knowl edge of household management, bud-*' geting and household operations on the part of the adult population. By studying the budgeting of The Better Homes Demonstration, as done in the house furnisbyig, etc., much help may be gained. 8. In communities there are fami lies in which the finer joys of family life are unknpwn—where good music is never shared by parents and chil dren together—where there . are no good books—where there is nothing in the family life which will induce the children to spend their evenings at home—where there are no common enterprises of interest to all members of the family. In the Better Home demonstrated will be found such close fellowship of the family per sonnel as to lend help to those seek ing how to maintain these finer asso ciations. 'ln all communities there are those who need attention called to charac ter building in the home. Many of the fundamental lessons in character development can be taught more ef fectively in the home than they ran in either of the other two chief institu tions of character building—the church and the school. , 1 The son has 1 quite! generally- to be apprenticed to his father in in dustry ; the daughter likewise, spends less time in household operations with her mother, thus attention to much needed instruction in the home has declined. Particular attention to suel; needed instruction is found in the program of Better Homes Demon stration work. It is the ambition of the Better Homes committee of Cabarrus that the campaign in our county will result in an awakened determination to closer comradeship in family life, that the i*esult may be as the slogan chosen: A Better Home For Every Child in Cabarrus, and the Px-oducts S-ueh that There May Be a Better Cabarrus County.
