Rural women of Carteret county, along with their sister home demonstration club members throughout the United States this week are observing National Home Demonstration week. During these chaotic days when the maintenance of those ~ fundamental principles on which our country was founded are constantly in question, we can find reassurance and hope in the ?* work being carried on by the womenfolk of our farms. In every part of this country, home demonstration clubwomen carry on the service which they have dedicated to the promotion of all those elements which enter into the creation and development of better conditions foi the people living on our farms and in our rural districts. Here we find American democracy at its best. Here the farm ? er, justly known as the backbone of our nation, is ably reinforced by the womenfolk who carry on their community service in ways _ and in areas of activity which the busy farmer could not approach. It is accepted without question that the farmer is essential to our national well-being because of the vital contribution which he makes to our national economy. The farmer and his family play .even a larger role than that represented by their production ^ of essentials. It is the people of our farms and rural areas who typify those sound principles on which the future of our country rests. It is the home life of our farmers that we see at its best the sound balance between the struggle for the more material elements in living and the realization that life's greatest content ments and satisfations are to be found in simpler pursuits and the expression of religious faith in our v.iy of life. In promoting all those elements which enter into the fulfill 'I roent of their creed and the "Creation of Better Homes Today ? so as to make Better Citizens Tomorrow"? the' women of the Home Demonstration clubs are making an inspiring contribution ? to our national welfare. hkke "there ? - Building: permits issued in More head City for the month of April show but a slight increase over the corresponding month of last year.

When asked why, he replied, "Him spit in spring!" The youngsters are happy in England. There's no end to the amount of candy pennies will buy. Sweets are off the ration list.
