Farm Homes
Should Look Prosperous
Says Jane McKimmon
Jane S. ! McKimmon, assistant
director North Carolina extension
service, ', gives the following advice
to farm women on upholding the
standard of the home :
The woman on the farm today
is not only a part' of tre . farm
home, she is Dart of the iarm en
terprise as well,, and she has found
in her experience that the eoonom
ics of the farm and the economics
of the home are one and msepa
fable. As a ' rule, the farmer does
not make his olans without con
suiting his wife and frequently
they work-out farm and home plaas
together.
'. But if agriculture is to be called
successful, it should show, some
signs of prosperity around the
home. Every woman feels there
should be a good house with plenty
of room for all the occupants,
paint 'on the inside; and outside,
screen,s for. health and comfort
There should also be time- and
labor-savers, a water system and
electric current, if available. House
furnishings should be usable, com
fortable, and presentable, and home
grounds should be planted. The in
come derived from profitable agsi
culture should provide all the.se
things together : with food, cloth
ing, education, recreation,5 . insur
ance, benevolences, reading matter.
and other cultural things; This is
a big order, but it- represents only
a good living standard, not an ex;
travagant one : and profitable agri-
culture can accomplish these if the
family pulls together.

N. C. Colored Orphanage
Appeals For Support
The Colored Orphanage of North
Carolina wishes to express its ap
preciation to the many friends
who have shown their interest m
the institution by cooperating dur
ing the past' year. We thank this
newspaper for donating this space
so that we may tell more people
of the work of the.. Orphanage.
The Colored Orphanage of North
Carolina is a private corporation
located at Oxford, N. C. It was
founded in 1883 and incorporated
in 1887 for the care of dependent
Negro boys and girls in the state
of North . Carolina, regardless of
denominational or fraternal back
ground. At present the institution
is caring for 163 boys and girls
from 46 counties. .
Since the State of North Caro
lina owns no orphanage for Ne
gro children, it makes a grant in
aid to the Colored Orphanage.
This grant may only be used for
operating expenses, such as food,
clothing, salaries, medical supplies,
etc. Funds for permanent improve
ments. -as buildings; and equipment,
must be secured- from other
sources.
In each county an orphanage
committee has been organized.
Andrew Ray is chairman . for Ma
con county.
We are asking all persons inter
ested in the welfare of these de
pendent Negro boys and girls of
North Carolina to make a contri
bution toward their upkeep. You
may make donations either through
the local Orphanage Aid Commit
tee or mail them directly to the
Colored Orphanage of North Caro
lina. Oxford, N. C. If sending
checks or money orders, please
make them payable to the Colored
Orphanage of North Carolina.

CCC Enrollees
Get Useful Jobs
Vocational training in CCL
camps led to placement of '47,180
enrollees in jobs during the W0
fiscal year, Howard W. Qxley, CCC
camp education director, reports.
"Placing enrollees .in useful jobs
is the goal of our program," Mr.
Oxley says. "Intensive, practical
training is the method. Courses
vary from Quarter to quarter in
each camp,' depending on employ
ment needs of the community and
aptitudes of enrollees."
Academic courses given in CCC
camps stress raising the . education
al level of enrollees, with emphasis
placed not on working for school
credits but on eliminating 'short
comings:, in the enrollee's basic edu
cation to strengthen his self-confidence'
and increase his ability to
land and hold a job. .
CCC education has directly serv
ed one of every seven young men
in the United States within age
limits of CCC enrollees.. Of the 2,
420,000 youths who have been or
are -enrolled, 90 per cent have
participated .voluntarily in educa
tional activities carried : on in
camps or in community schools,
and somehave availed, themselves
of the opportunity to take corre
spondance or extension courses.

By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
ONCE MORE we come to" the
Christmas season that so long ago
ushered in peace and goodwill
, toward men. And still the wars
' go on and multiply and men's
; hearts, instead of being filled with
: joy and thanksgiving, hold hatred
and thoughts of revenge.
How long. Oh, Lord, how long.
Is our cry. How long before
men's stupidity and wickedness
give way to brotherhood and the
, Christlike life, and bring about
the end of wars. How long before
peace shall come to a suffering
world ?
We go back to the lovely story
of our Lord's birth and read and
try to comfort our hearts with
His message.

days, that there went out a de

I all the world should be taxed.

"And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the

saying,
"Glory to God in the highest.
and on earth peace, goodwill,

Wasn't it marvelous that of all
the people on the earth at that
time, that these simple, humble
shepherds were the ones to get
the message of the birth of a
Saviour? Possibly those who
would have thought themselves
more wise would not have be
lieved had they seen the angel and
heard the song. THey would have
tried to reason it away. But the
shepherds looked at one another
In wonder, and said: "Let us now
