Another Slogan Add ed To Governor's "Live - At - Home" (I Raleigh. May 26. ? Backed by Gov ernor Gardner an<l his Council on Unemployment and Relief, anothe slogan has been added to the "Live at-Homc" program in North Caro lina ? "Preserve Vour Food and J,i\*e at Home This W inter'*. The carry ing out of this slogan through a cam paign of education is made necessary at this time, due to the fact that farm crop prices are almost certain to he much lower this coming season than last year, the laek of money in the hands of the farmers of the entire state, and the further fact that, in some counties in the **ate. the entire populace i- being supported by the relief work <>f the American Red Cross, the Federal Farm Hoard, the t?overnor's Council on Unemploy ment and Relief, and othei such or ganizations. Every state organization is cooper ating* in this movement, to "sell'* North Carolina on the necessity of saving through canning, preserving, drying and pickling, of all vegetables fruits and other food crop? grown on the farms and gardens of the state from now on until cold weather i comes^ The idea of the "Live-at ! Ionic" program is to product more ! food and feed, so that whatever mon ies tli?* farmer oi>tain>. will "over | and above" his food and feed costs, j The slogan of this past spring, "Farm 'to make a living in ISKM" carried ! with it the food preservation ideal, j l?ut that ideal or plan was !>"t pushed jso vehemently last fall or during the winter months. Now Coventor Gard ] ner feels that conserving and preser j ving of foods through many methods is the issue before the state. The Governor's Council is heading this work, with the hearty backing of other agencies, in particular: The : State College Extension Service, un I der the direction of Dean I. (). 'Schaub, director, and Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, assistant director in charged of Home Demonstration j Work; the State Board of Health, un I der the direction of Dr. II. \. Taylor j actiflg secretary; the American Red Cross chapters and officials and local representatives of the Federal Farm j Board. The coordination of this cam j paign, to educate the people of the ; state to the necessity of saving their j vegetables and fruits by several or dinarily practical methods, is being handled by R. W. Henniger, execu tives secretary of the Governor's i Council. ! Canning demonstrations, which were begun on April 1st, in Martin county, are now being conducted in a campaign which is moving gradual , ly westward from its beginning in the I east of the state. Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, district Home agent and act ing specialist in food conservation, assisted by Mrs. W. G. Stancil, assist ant specialist in food conservation, ;;re doing the work, under the direct ion of Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, as sistant director of State College Ex tension, and Dean I. O. Schaub, di rector. Home and Farm Agents and all district agents are cooperating in this program, in seeing to it that each township in a given county has rop i esentatives present to learn the can ; ning methods and that these persons go back and teach the people in their communities the necessary methods of vegetable and fruit preservation. The itinerary of canning demon strations for the coming two weeks i follows: May 25. Southport; 26. I Whiteville, 27, Elizahsthtown ; 28, Fayettville and 29, Clinton. June 2 Hillsboro; 3, Albemarle; 4 Salisbury, and 5-6, Statcsville. The campaign will run until the | last day of July and dates fcr such demonstrations will be given wide , spread publicity well in advonce. Lit erature about canning and other sucb I topic is available and can be obtain ed by writing Mr. Henniger's offices or Editor, State 'College Extension Service, Raleigh. Mr. Henniger hopes for the real cooperation of every citizen in the RED CROSS REPRESENTATIVE VISITS HERE Miss Pearl Weaver, representative of the American Red Cross, Washing ton, I). has been here for seve ral days, working on records with K. W. Gray. Chariman of the Cherokee county chapter. While here, M is. -4 Weaver went to Hayesville and re organized the Clay county chapter. The work of the Cherokee county I chapter goes steadily forward, solv ! ing the problems ? ? f the drought cuf j ferers, some unemployed and many i sick. Splendid cooperation of phy ! sicians, county officials, reprcseta tive church workers, and chapter leaders makes this true. Whatever the cause of pellagra, here are two things necessary in its cure. First, the visit of the family physician lor his examination and ad vice. and second, the right kind and amount of food. From the Nutrition , Service of the state College comes special instructions about what to eat and how much you need. From the Hume demonstration department is promised a visiting canning expert ; one dav in .Tune to give the very best Methods of putting up a supply of fruit and vegetables for the winter. The National Red Cross sent pack ages of garden seed to all who lost their gardens last year ?nd needed this help in beginning their health program this year. These gardens, visited occasionally by farm agent and school superintendent, promise a good supply of food for summer and for canning. National Red Cross is also supply ing. through the chapter, sufficient powdered yeast for even* pellagrin or suspected case of pellagra in the county whoso family physician ad vises its use in their diet. Since the beginning of the service in March. 77 families have been aid ed through this chapter with either food, clothing, garden seed, or yeast and many of them have received all four necessities. With this has come to them a feeling that some one cares. In April, 1 'J families, a total of 107 people, received their entire support through the organization. Careful buying, planning one week at a time, regular visits in the homt j from the chapter workers has help i ed these people live comfortably on Jan amazingly low cost r:?tion. pet i new ideas of economy and thrift in I home management. Thirtyneven cases of pellagra have , received yeast, and 'eleven more ap plications are in lor yeast. Mrs. C. W. Savage, Publicity chair man. | POSTELl. After a two weeks visit with their parents.
