Of Home Life
Department
The Homelife Dept. of the
Worthwhile Women* Club met
Sept. 14th in the assembly room
of the Methodist Church.
Meotiug w?? called to order by
the chairman, Mrs. Dempiey Wil
cox. Mrs Lona Quails gave the
club collect, after which business
was taken up, gardens were dis
cussed briefly and two or three
members offered to go and prune
dead flowers from plants and per
haps pull out some of the large
weeds. There was no new business
so the need for help with guests
in the various rest homes so far
as some form of recreation, hob
bies, etc. for them was brought
up from last weeting. Mrs. Har
mon asked that we postpone dis
cussing that until another meet
ing was held with operators of
these homes and a more definite
program could be outlined for
them, after which we would know
more about the need of the peo
ple and what we as a club can do
to be of service.
The meeting was turned over 10
Mrs. R. H. Harmon form the Wel
fare Dept. for Watauga county,
who gave much needed informa
tion and brought the members up
to date on what is being done for
various groups of children and
older people who are in need of
assistance. She also told of institu
tions now in service over the state
as well as some that are now un
der construction to be used for
this service to the handicapped
people. The information mention
ed routine required to place such
people with the State agencies af
ter getting the parents or guard
ians consent. Much can be ac
complished with many of these
children in an institution with
trained personnel that can never
be accomplished in the home.
Mrs. Harmon was proud of
North Carolina's program to as
sist these unfortunate people such
as the mentally retarded, cerebral
palsy, visual handicapped, crippled
children and the emotionally dis
turbed child. Better facilities are
now being provided for the first
four classes of handicapped child
ren than is done for the emotion
ally disturbed child which at the
present time are being neglected.
We should all be proud of our ser
vice clubs for the financial aid
they provide for helping all of
these indigent children. With the
institutional care given these child
ren by trained people many of
them can be made into useful citi
zens while others can be raised to
a self-sustaining level which Is a
great help to the family. Such
work cannot be accomplished In
the homes.
After Mrs. Harmon's informa
tive discussion, Roy Isley from
the Agricultural Stabilization
County office showed a film. The
Caswell Story, which showed in
pictures the work being done at
that institution for various groups
of handicapped people, both child
