essay titled “The Value
Owning a Home” is reproduc-
«g herewith:
^“Home is where the heart is,
or ao. we hare been told count-
Ihb numbers of times, but it
asems to me that ‘the heart is
wrhTo the home is’. You know
gaoaelf that your home means
to you than any other place
^ s^h; yon do your beat to
apsike it comfortable, attractive
livable because it la your
■ome and it does belong to you
.tfoae. Do you not feel a glow of
fslde sweeping over you when-
.avar yon think of ‘home’? Do you
■at feel a surge of loyalty and
toezpreaaible love every time
‘!huie’ is mentioned? You are
appy in the assurance that you
a home in which it is your
VivileKe to live your life with
■a shadow of a landlord hanging
ymer you. You rest secure in the
Isewtedge that what you put
toto that home is put there to
may forever if it pleases you.
*JBut the man who lives iu a
aented house—does he ever want
to beautify the place or preserve
M in any way? Does he want to
'■tout flowers and shrubbery or
lave the rooms redecorated? Of
aourse not! If anything like that
lAould be done, he leaves it up
fib his landlord and more than
Bkely he never gets his desired
improvements. If he does, rest
assured that he will pay again
and bgain for his acquired
lons^ ^leauty when he pays his
jAqaUtly.'Teo.ijl- .Moreover, in rent-1
tog a house, a tenant is never
■hto'to secure his ideal home; he
mat take what he can get aqd
B^Ahankful for it. The home-
'builds his ideal home, fur-
■jbh^'It according to his own
gepires, and lives happily in
larmonlous surroundings.
“To the juvenile court in New
York City many children are
Iroogbt each week for slight and
misdemeanors. An in-
uvatigation into the lives of the
ilfrerent children showed that
aver three-fourths of them came
fii>to tenement districts or lived
to,spnted houses where little or
■tojUtok iB make
Vbme and the life there pleasant
attractive. When asked as
fSjjfhy they did so very little to
•aawtify their abodes, the par-
toia ’of the children responled,
-Wlb should we? Wle don’t own
Obm places; why, we may not
he living here a month
toon now.” So it is that the
jn of today, the children of
^ture, remember, suiTer be-
they do not have what
gtog can call a real home. Care-
fmt aorveys of training schools
■■d prison camps show that few
«g the Inmates ever knew any
home life. Now they, too,
■ aaffer because they received
of the advanUges of the
towe! Do you want your child
to become as one of these I have
jtot mentioned? He will if he
doesn’t receive the proper train-
to* »Bd- correct environment in
■to youth. It is not difficult to
.^jjy tenement sections of a
- ,dy have a much lower morale
:*^ tign that of a section of home-
: for dwellers In rented
Baiiaee are usually the class of
. ■eeiple who haven’t enough pride,
amoogh ambition to secure for
toanaelves and their families a
yjai' home. As a consequence,
tlieJr cloven are handicapped.
Oo-the Other hand a community
af’iiome-owners develope pride,
aiJhttton, culture, stahlilty, and
toiibliahas a habit of thrift. The
jgljgren of ouch people are
ttoma /whom America Is proud to
^^alifin aa her own. Do you not
aee. ,tb«refow, the value of real-
to Bvlng ia a home Instead of
i*aly oxietlng in a rented honto
apt for, yourselves, at least
Children?
. *ti{iaw, In conclusion, det me
ing'llbalil that home owao,
bringa about the worthy prae
^ thrift, and as a result, is
the 1T%m1iii f-^Tir blessing to our country; that
touiaally to borne ownership Instills demo*
•tudtats by static principle* and prepareA
^ tot commendable cttlMnship.
Considering these facts and also
the fact that the haUding and
loan associations of today offev
such excellent opportnnltles lor
acquiring a systematic method
of saving' and make it possible
for every man who so desires to
become a home owner, do you
not think that every American
oitisen, whether he be great or
small, rich or poor, should eoo-
slder it not only a privilege, hut
a duty as well to own his own
home? And then surely his heart
coqld be where his home la!”;.
New Acceaaoriea, Sale*
Record For Chevrolet
The Chevrolet Motor Company
set a new all-time record during
May for total volume of parts
and accessories sales. The prev
ious record dated back to the
boom year of 1929, when Augus
sales reached a peak that et
as a record for nearly six y
Announcement of the ne-^toc-
ord was made at White SiBdiur
Springs by M. D. Douglas,
ager of the Chevfolet Parts^^and
Acoeesorles division, before
therlng of the leading field m
of the division, guests of the
company during a three days’
stay awarded them In recognition
of their success In rolling up
regional and zone records con
tributing to the high May total.
According to Mr. Douglas, the
May peak of sales can be at
tributed largely to a general re
sumption of touring for pleas
ure, a natural sequence to the
increase 1 n spending power
throughout the country.
“The curve of new car sales
shows heavy gains over last
year,” he declared, “and new
cars themselves create a demand
for accessories—everything from
insect screens to radios. How
ever, our May record was far a-
bove what could be attributed to
the sale of accessories for new
cars, and It can be definitely con
cluded that much of the buying
was for old cars.
“That means that motorists
are taking to the road in larger
numbers than during the recent
touring seasons, and are equip
ping their cars with accessories
that will contribute to their con
venience, comfort and safety.
They are making their old cars
look new with seat covers, mod
ernizing them with radios, equip
ping them with spot lights, vi
sors, dual windshield wipers,
and other articles that add to
the convenience and pleasure of
both the driver and the passeng
ers.”

Julysuggestiohe for the

by Prof, M. B. fltodner, !
the hortfcnltaral' department
N. C. State C^lisge, are:
Make additional plantings of
snap-beans. Spray beans where
they*are affected by the Mexi
can bean beetle. Magnesium ar-
, senate is good. Rotenone or pyre-
'thmm dusts and sprays are also
effective, but somewhat more ex
pensive.
Spray the tomatoes with Bor
deaux mixture to control leaf
spot and blight. Plants for a fall
crop of tomatoes should be set
in July. Late Irish potatoes
should be planted during the lat
ter .part of the month.
Keep egg plants covered with
Bordeaux mixture to control flea
beetles and potato beetles. Cul
tivate all crops often enough to
keep down weeds and prevent
baking of the soil. A side dress
ing of some form of quickly
available nitrogen will help vege
tables whose growth has been
slow.
After raspberries have been
harvested, the old fruiting canes
should be removed and burned,
lo 111 iica.cu *«• ,cii.ovv. Frequent shallow cultivations

CLUBS DECLARE WAR
ON ROADSIDE SIGNS
A boycott of products adver
tised on unsightly roadside signs
in North Carolina was recom
mended the other day at a meet
ing of home demonstration club
mentbers in Pinehurst.
In a resolution adopted, the
members appealed to farmers,
■aerchants, chambers of com
merce, woman’s clubs, and other
organizations., to enlist in the
war against signboards.
M«ay of the signboards not
only mar the landscape, but they
are also a source of danger in
asmuch as they divert the driv
ers’ attention from the road, the
resolution stated.
The women also commended
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration for its benefits to
agrlcaiture, which are being felt
by the club women and business
houses of the nation as well as
the farmers themselves
After throwing thei. support
behind tie world peace move
ment, they turned to the moving
picture industry to endorse the
improvements made in the moral
tone of pictures.
The use of motion picture
theatres as “nurseries” for chil
dren while the parents go about
other activities was deplored as
being bad for the mental and
physical development of chil
dren.
A resolution adopted by the
Cumberland county farm women
prior to the meeting at Pinehurst
requested that rural electrifica
tion be given a prominent place
In the public works program.
Copies of the resolutions have
been sent over the SUte for
study by club womon so that
delegates to Farm and Home
-week at State College this sum
mer may be prepared to act up
on them at that time.
