SECTION ONE— Home Demonstration Pageant Will Climax Farm And Home Week “Green A’ Growin’ ” Will Be Presented Thurs day Night, June 10 Forty years a’growing has been the story of home demonstration in North Carolina, and that’s what you’ll have a chance to see at Farm and Home Week this year. June 10 is the night of the per formance of "Green A’ Growin’ ”, the big home demonstration pageant writ ten by Mrs. Emily Selden and Mike Healey of Chapel Hill. At the pageant, you will have a chance to relive the early years of pioneering, and you’ll see a parade of extension trail-blazers. You’ll see | how the early tomato clubs envolved into one of our nation’s biggest adult education programs. Into one even ing’s program will be woven the high lights of 40 years of progress on the Tar Heel farm, in the rural communi ty. There will be the amusing inci dents as well as the more serious ones. You will have a part in the pageant; you’ll see how you and the other thou sands of farm men and women, boys and girls, have helped to build home demonstration. Perhaps you’ll see a relative, a neighbor, or a close friend on stage acting out a part of the story. More than 100 persons will be taking part in the production of "Green A’ Growin’.” The state home demonstration chor us under the direction of Dr. Arnold Hoffman, music supervisor for the State Department of Public Instruc tion, will furnish background music for the evening’s program.
