Advance News On
Farm and Home
Week Program
By Min Velma Beam, Person
Home Demonstration Agent.
A very inexpensive, instructive
and entertaining vacation for ru
ral men and women may be had
from July 29 to August 2 if Farm
and Home Week at State college
is attended.
One dollar is required for re
gistration and food may be ob
tained at a reasonable price at
the college cafeteria. Those in at
tendance are required to take bed
linens, towels and all personal
articles but the dormitories are
used without cost.
If only the home management
and house furnishings part of
the program were offered the
week would be full of plenty to
learn and to do, for that plan a
lone is worth anybody’s time,
money and effort.
Sparing no labor to make this
interesting to the rural family
Miss Pauline Gordon, Home Man
agement and 1 House Furnishings
Specialist and her assistant, Miss
Mamie Whisnant, have secured
Mrs. Esther Gordon Shepherd,
who has been doing graduate
work in house furnishings in Cor

duct two classes.
The first is Expressing Your
Personality in Your Home Thru
Color, in which she is going to
use illustrative material to show
the effect of colors and success
ful ways of using it in the farm
home.
And second is Equipping the
Home for the Small Child, in
which she will discuss storage and
furnishings.

Last year Colonel and Mrs. J

interested they are repeating it
this year —listed on the program
as “Beauty in the Home”. Miss

a discussion following it on mak

tive.
Then, too, there are the attrac
tive exhibits always put on by the
House Furnishings department;
This year they are to be displayed
in Primrose Hall and 1 will have
regular exhibit hours. Very much
worth while are they, exhibiting
the practical arts which may be
practiced by all home makers.

Orchid a Day Was
Rule On This Set
An orchid a day was the rule
on the set of “New Moon,” co
starring Jeanette MacDonlad and
Nelson Eddy and opening tomor
row at the Palace theatre. The or
chids were supplied by Mary Bo
land who, it was discovered, was
an orchid fancier with more than
fifty different varieties of the
blooms growing in the specially
constructed hothouse adjacent to
her home.
“New Moon,” a musical roman
ce of the 1780’s, transpires in the
romantic surroundings of New Or
leans during Mardi Gras. There
are thrillyig, scenes .on the high
seas and an exciting sequence on
a tropic island where Nelson Ed
dy sets up a republic following a
shipwreck. The film is the first
to bring th two singing favorites
I together in more than a year. It
was produced and directed by
Robert Z. Leonard.
Included in the Sigmund Rom
berg score are such hits as “Lo
ver Come Back to Me”, “Wanting
You”, “One Kiss,” “Marian
me”, “Parde , ’ > “Softly As in a
Morning Sunrise,” and “Stout
Hearted Men”.

“Stop Before
You Swat/’
Says Hocutt
Raleigh, July 14 “Resist the
natural impluse to swat at a bee,
hornet or other insect that flies
into your car while driving along
the highway,” Ronald Hocutt,
Director of the Highway Safety
Division, cautioned North Caro
lina motorists this week.
Hocutt’s warning arose from an
accident last week in which a
woman was seriously injured and
several members of the family
bruised and shaken up when her
husband, who was driving, tried
to swat at a bee which flew into
the car.
“I realize that the driver, under
such conditions, is siezed with an
almost irresistable impulse to
swing and swat at the pesky in
sect,” Hocutt said, “but this im
pulse must be checked and the
attack on the insect withheld un
til the car can be brought to a
complete stop. When you try to
watch an insect’s dizzy gyrations
and attempt to kill him while your
car is in motion, you stand a bet
ter chance of killing yourself than
of killing the insect.”
The safety drector cited another
case wherein a woman was driv
ing along when a bee flew in and
stung her on the cheek. She slap
ped at it and knocked it to the
floor, and then looked down to
see where she could finish the
job with her foot. As her glance
was on the floor, she steered un
ciously to the left, crashing head
long into another car.
The moral, Hocutt said, is:
“Stop before you swat.”
