Mrs. Annie H. Greene, our
home agent, gave us the best and
most helpful discussion on Citizenship
in the home, school
church community and county.
We must take time to be a good
citizen. The constitution of the
United States begins with, "We
the people", and that is you and
I. We have a duty to make our
6wn community the best community
to live in. The home is
the foundation and most important
institution in existence. It Is
In the home a child learns its
first lesson and citizenship should
be taught at the mother's knee.
Parents can set an example of
higher standards of integrity and
morality, havings respect for
each other; loyal and cooperative.
Then the general purpose of
public school Is to help children
to become useful citizens in life
and trained that they may do his
or her individual share of the
world's work. Intelligent thinking
and solving public problems
in based on strength and character
of good citizenship. Are we
parents coupoi ouug >>>tu <.Uc
schools as we should by helping
to improve social centers, playgrounds
and sanitary conditions?
Schools are finaced by oar taxes
for the benefit of children of the
community. Our children deserve
the best. More than forty schools
in this county and less than one
dozen lunch rooms; we should
encourage hot lunch programs,
good libraries, and a healthy
state of mind with adequate sanitary
facilities and school and
playgrounds well kept. Every
family has a responsibility toward
making the church the
center of spiritual life in their
community and she then gave the
timely quotation "what kind of
church would my church be if
all members were Just like me?''
Do we attend Sunday School and
church regularly and help improve
conditions? There's something
each one can do. Citizenship
starts in the home soon as
one is born and it is the responsibility
of each individual and
every family to make their
community the best place in
which to live. She urged us to
attend some of the services that
Dr. Paul Caudill was conducting
-—"—
at 1st Baptist Church in North
Wilkesboro. We are proud of him
as he was born and reared In
Wilkes County and he is chairman
of the Relief Committee of
Baptist Wttrld Alliance and Author
of "Broadman Comnents."
Are we cooperating with teachers,
ministers and other leaders?
A good citizen attends meetings
where community matters are
discussed and every citizen
should find time for at least one
community activity in addition
to the church and school. A good
citizen is more than listening to
Bome one else talk or lecture.
Bach individual must study and
search for information and reguardless
of how busy we are,
we must take time to make a vigorous
effort to know more of
the county in which we live. We
are a great group of farm women
facing new responsibilities
and we must have enlightened
leadership with local citizen interest
to build a democratic government
through community
county, state and national lines.
This county government and
iitizenship quiz she gave was so
timely I want to pass it on to
others for so few of us are familiar
with the names of our county
officers; How many? Whetherthey
are elected or appointed and
by whom? How long do they
serve? What are their important
