Seago, ‘'‘Mary’s there all alone.” “Let’s close the doors,” said someone, forgetting how hot it was. “No, let’s leave it open so we can get out quickly if we need to,” demurred another. Miss Flora tried valiantly to teU the women about the impor tance of milk in the diet but her mind wasn’t on it and the wom en’s minds weren’t on it. When she saw a little boy creep by the window outside with a stick clutched behind him. Miss Flora gave up and let the members learn about milk in the diet from the lesson sheets at home where they would feel safer. “Well, I never had such a club meeting as this,” she said as she made plans to lock her car doors securely and use every safety precaution on her homeward joxirney to Carthage. Soon the big man came back with Mrs. Kirk’s car, accompan ied by another guard wl;io’d been stationed as a look-out. No pris oners had been apprehended and the women CEime to the conclu sion that the “escapees” the guard was so sure he’d seen were two of the neighborhood boys who were standing by the road thumbing a ride. “I saw them as I came to the meeting,” said Mrs. Onnie Seago. It. was Charles Lee Shaver and Billy Lucas.”—By Mrs. W. R. Robeson, Jr., publicity chairman. National HDC Week Since we are observing Nation al Home Demonstration Week, I would like to point out a few of its many values to me and to all the other members in Moore County. First, I would point to its value in training us to be bet ter citizens, more understanding of others and its worth in train ing us to be more efficient home makers. A book could be written on this alone, but just a' few of the outstanding facts would be the lessons that we have learn ed on nutrition and preservation of foods such as canning, freez ing, drying and preserving. Since we are the ones who are respon sible for the meals served to our families, it is vital ^ that we know the seven basic foods needed to keep us healthy. We learn that in our club work most of us have these foods on our farms, we know how to preserve them. Home Demonstration work does just this. Also under homemakers come' management. We all know that a woman who knows how to man age can run an efficient home on a very small budget. I know of no other way to teach this to farm women except through the club work. Then too, when it comes to re modeling our homes, installing water systems, better lighting facilities, electric equipment for greater savings, it is from our home demonstration agent that we get advice that is free and that we can depend on. One month is set aside to teach us the value of family life. The great role we play as pa rents is stressed. We are taught how to be better parents and to guide our children through the “teens” with greater understand ing. Also the value of social life is stressed in home demonstration work. We believe to be a healthy and a happy family that we must enjoy social activities to gether as a family. All in aU, home demonstration work touches every phase of life of the rural woman. It is the only work that reaches out to the woman in the rural areas where they have no other con tact except the club work. We women in Moore County are proud to be a part of this great organization that is trainipg us to be more efficient homemak ers.—By Mrs. Walter McDonald, County publicity chairman. FULL PERFORMANCE! TWO-TONE STYLING! MANY EXTRA FEATURES! with PORTABLE TV. by National Home Demonstration Club Week is April 28 through May 4th. During this week we hope to reach aU rural people V7ith the value of home demon stration work. Home demonstration club work means more than just meeting once a month and hav ing a demonstration by the home agent. Being a club member helps you to know and love your neighbor better by working to gether for a better home life, a better community and a better nation. Being a club member helps to promote character, cour age, culture and citizenship. As club members we enjoy rural life because it is rich in abun dant living, rich in beauty, rich in opportunity and understand ing and in its Simplicity and wholesomeness. In our club (Eastwood) we feel the need of a community house where all families can meet for recreation. One of our members, Mrs. Art Zenns, donated land for a bxiilding. Some of the club's plans for raising money are to have rumihage sales, baked food sales and suppers. The above are just a few of the things home demonstration clubs do. The home demonstratidn club emblem has these words— “Home, Family and Community.” Today’s homes build tomorrow’s world. The home is the founda tion of all that is good in life so let us strive to make our homes a place where love and joy, order and harmony abide and by doing this, “Peace on earth, good will to men” can become a reality in stead of a dream.—^By Mrs. Sam Boggs, County publicity chair man.

Three of them can de cide who you can have as, Mayor. This Council refused to permit YOU to elect the School Board. Three of them can decide who you can have as your School Board. This Council asked you to vote it $100,000 for a new Town Hall. Now, with the bond issue passed, they admit it will cost from $143,000 to $196,000 and are look ing for ways to raise the difference. YOU can stop this inefficiency. YOU can stop this floundering. YOU can elect a Council which will stay within the Budget. YOU can elect a Council which will halt the UPWARD climb in spend ing. a Council interested in ALL the people, a Council interested in progress for permanent residents, a Council of vigor looking to the future rather than the'past.
