JACKSON COUNTY WOMEN FIND HOME DEMONSTRATION CLUBS HAVE MANY VALUES "We^'have a million things to do, but we wouldn't miss the club meeting this afternoon for any thing." This statement could have been made by any woman belong ing to a Home Demonstration Club, it is an easy h^bit to form, for once they attend, they will not want to miss a single meeting. Jackson County has 15 active Home Demonstration Clubs with a total membership of 415 women. The Home Demonstration Clubs meet monthly to discuss subjects which promote higher standards of living for the farm women and their families. It is a democratic organization which opens its 'doors to any woman regardless of her status in life. There are no initia tion or specific rules to be follow ed. The programs at these meetings are invaluable when it comes to time saving and conserving energy. They may be the work of a local leader, a county program or a meeting in which the Home Dem onstration Agent assumes the leadership. The programs vary to meet the needs of the women of the com munity. Some of the basic topics for the year are: focds, food preservation, heme furnishings, home management, home beauti .ication, community service, fam ily life, health, education, citizen ship and recreation. These topics should appeal to all homemakers. The women have their North Carolina Federation of Home Demonstration Club Yearbook which contains many democratic principles. On the cover ot tne Yearbook is the Hv me Demonstra tion Club Emblem. The hearth vre iii the center "symbolizes the ^ome and expresses the spirit of ;ne finest attributes of the home, such as fellowsnip, hospitality jomfort, peace and protection. The cak leaf symbolizes strength; the sheaf of wheat, productivity; the Roman lamp, knowledge and oth er attributes of a successful home. Around tnese symbols are the words, "Home.

Tnese are r/?cessarv tools in building a democratic Stunt Flying, Parachute Jump Feature Labor Day Air Show A crowd of approximately 500 persons witnessed a spectacular exhibition of stunt flying and a parachute iump at the local air field as part of the Labor Day L-eJefcration Monday. Johnny Watson, head of the Svlva Flying Service, cooperated with the Sylva Lions Club in pre renting the show with the pro ceeds going to benefit the blind. Red Nicnois cf Nichols Flying Ser vice in BU.ck Mountain, maneu vered the double-winged Stear r.an belonging to the Sylva Serv ce through several daring minutes >f acrobatics in which he pulled community or nation. The Home Demonstration work n Jackson began with Mrs. Mamie 3;e Evans as Home Agent, who served this County for approxi mately nineteen years. She was followed by Miss Margaret Martin por two years who resigned and loined the WAC during World War II. We were without an agent for ? ometirne belore Miss Josephine Johnston came to the County. She served for mere than a year. Dur ing this period Miss Helen Sossa mon became Assistant Home Agent, finally becoming Home Agent after Miss Johnston resign ' ed to be married.

After three months we succeeded in getting our present Home'Agent i M.ss Mary Johnston. every stunt in the books for the benefit of the onlookers. It "was said that only a professional could pull the stunts he pulled, and everyone heartily agreed. Loops, spins, slow rolls, snaps, Red did everything. The most thrilling stunt was probably an outside loop maneuvered directly over the lield which held the crowd on its toes until it was accomplish ed. Following the stunt show came the parachute jump by Johnny Plemmons of Marion. Plemmons jumped from the Stearman from approximately 1.000 feet and land ed a hundred yards from the field. It seems that Plemmons had al lowed that distance for a cross wind that had been blowing when WCTC Expects Peak Enrollment This Year With the beginning of the fall quarter of the 60th 7ear of West ern Carolina Teachers college an enrollment of over 550 students Is expected. Last year the enroll ment, the largest in the history of the school, was 563. A peak enrollment of 492 was he left the field, but the wind direction changed after the Stear man left the strip. Nichols was at the controls of the plane from which Plemmons jumped. Mr. Wat9on ar.d members of the Lions club were pleased with the turnout and the proceeds which may help some blind person to see 1 again. recorded for the summer school, which closed last week. Reservations indicate the en rollment for this year to equal or to be greater than tha^t of last year. All dormitories have reached their capacity of reservations with a waiting list. Numbers of students are securing rooms and apart ments in the. community. A large number will be commuting from Sylva as day students. How farmers now get the news of the markets to guide them in selling their products under fav orable terms is being studied in Iowa with a view to finding ways in which this kind of service can be improved by Federal or State agencies. j TASTE-PLEASING TREATS - AT BUDGET-PLEASING PRICES!
