North Carolina has been organ
ized in Home Demonstration work
since 1911. It was one of the
first five states in the Union to
take up the work. The tirst home
agents were employed for only two
months per year in the summer,
to help with canning clubs for girls.
Fourteen agents were appointed
and working by 1912. Today there
are 100 white home demonstration
agents in the slate and 41 Negro
agents. There are 54 while as
sistants and two Negro assistant
home agents. There are 2,175 home
demonstration clubs with 55, 195
members.
Hay wood county had an emerg
ency home demonstration agent
during the summers of 19H:i and
1934, to work with F.K.K. Admin
istration clients.
In September, 1935, a full time
agent was employed by the stale
and sent to work in Haywood and
Swain counties. This arrangement
continued for ten full months. In
July, 1946, both Haywood and
Swain counties included funds in
their budgets for a full time agent.
Beaverdani, Cecil, Jonathan, Al
len's Creek, Dell wood and Fiues
Creek Home Demonstration clubs
and four 4-H clubs were organized
in the fall of 1935. In 1936 Bethel,
Rock Spring, Iron Duff and Maggie
clubs were organized. In 1937
.lunaluska, Clyde and Crablree
clubs and four more 4-H clubs-
were organized. In 1938 West Can
ton, Morning Star, Maple Grove
and Francis Cove clubs were or
ganized. Jrtaicnne cove club w s
organized in 1942 and Hyder ivlt.
club in 1943. Jones Cove group
meets every other month for dem
onstrations but has not been for
mally organized into a club.
1946 found the 18 clubs in the
county with a membership of 500,
with 70 members acting as project
leaders. There are 12 4-H clubs
with an enrollment of about 686
members, with 40 local and neigh
borhood leaders to assist them Willi
4-H club projects.
In 1936-1937 nine club members
received awards of merit in Foods
and Nutrition. Home Improvement
was the major project for 193H-
1939. 67 members received awards
of merit in the Kitchen Improve
ment contest. Merchants and bus
iness firms of Canton and Waynes-
ville and Equipment Companies
donated prizes for each member
who completed her kitchen im
provement project. A tour was
conducted on Achievement Day to
the kitchens winning top places in
the contest. llomemakers were
pleased with their improved kitch
ens and the improvement contest
was considered one of the best in
the state.
Clothing was studied during
1940-1941 and members learned
how to plan and budget their
clothing for themselves and fami
lies. They also learned to make,
mend and remodel and make-do
with what they had especially
during the war years.
1942 to 1946 the county joined
with the other 99 counties in the
state in a state-wide program.
Food production and conserva
tion has been stressed throughout
(he years and during 1943 the
women of the county helped the
county win the "A" pennant for
Food, Feed, Feed Production and
Conservation program. The club
members also had a big part in
the Victory Garden campaigns.
They held garden meetings for the
people of their neighborhoods. 208
women neighborhood leaders have
assisted their neighbors with their
gardening programs. The nutrition
side has not been neglected plan
ning balanced and more nutritious
meals, the newer methods of pre
paring foods in order to save the
greatest amount of vitamins and

The mayor also went into details
about the difficulties of getting
Canton's much-talked-of recrea

planning committee, he said, had
been working for some time on
this project, which all (Jivic groups
had endorsed. It is lo include a
swimming pool wilb dressing room
