food to the starving people in
war-torn countries. Wheat and
wheat products, fats, and oils are
the principal supplies being ship
ped overseas to avert famine. We
can all eat less bread and use
less fats. In their place substi
tute such foods as potatoes, corn,
bread, oatmeal, poultry, eggs,
fruits, and vegetables. Avoid
waste of bread and fats, it is
estimated that one slice out of
every loaf of bread baked every
day goes into the garbage. That
is enough bread to feed a million
people in devastated countries for
half a year. A teaspoon of fat
a day saved by every man. wom
an, and school child in the Unit
ed States will mean a total sav
ing of at least one million pounds
of fat a day. In addition to con
serving foods, we must continue
our home production and pre
servation program.
In 1945 home demonstration
club members in North Carolina
canned 19.521.366 quarts of fruits,
vegetables, and meats. They brin
ed 158,807 gallons of vegetables, !
and meat: cured 20,724.812 pounds
of meat; froze 1.064.413 pounds
of fruit, vegetables, and meat;
brought 4,?~8 pressure eanners
and checked 5,188 pressure ean
ners in clinics.
In clothing, home demonstra
tion club women received in
formation on construction, selec
tion and buying in 1945. Demon
strations were given on "Select
ing Patterns for Figure Types."
"You and Your Appearance" and
"Know Your Fabrics" to all club
members. Upon request special
interest subjects such as making
coats, hats, or gloves, sewing ma
chine clinics, repairing and re
modling clothing, etc. were given i
in certain counties.
Club women took an active
part in war work for Red Cross,
making 35,124 and knitting 5,570
articles. Generous was their re
sponse to the clothing drive; 350,
000 pounds of clothing were con
tributed and many of the women
assisted with collecting the gar
ments. In relief sewing too they
had a part, making 1,500 gar
ments for Yugoslavia.
One of the outstanding pieces j
of work has been the housing pro- 1
ject. White and Negro farm and
home agents have attended two !
housing training schools which j
included house planning, building '
materials, farmstead planning and
kitchen improvement.
The number of farr.lies assist
ed last year with: Installing wa
ter systems was 2,235; providing
needed storage space, 11,573; re
arranging kitchen, 9,162; improv
ing housekeeping methods, 20,112;
obtaining electricity, 6,173; the
selection or use of electric lights
or home electrical equipments, 3,
693;; with time management
problems, 19,566; with financial
planning, 12,123; screening or us
ing other recommended methods
of controlling flies or other in
sects, 13,791.
The Family Life Project is
new in our State and we realize
that it will take time to develop
the program, but are keeping be
fore us the following goals: The
need for strengthening the unity !
of family life; the family approach
to this progiam; the coordination!
of all local agencies ? churches, i
schools, civic groups, social and j
government organizations ? in j
working together on this pro- 1
gram; emphasis on citizenship
and on community, State, and .
ivorld problems; and making the
church the center of community j
life. When a group of people !
meet together and pool their I
ideas and experiences concerning'
everyday experiences they gain
courage, help, and inspiration for
meeting their problems.
Family Life leaders or home
demonstration clubs in 10 coun
ties have sponsored organizations
to help provide for the needs of
youth proglams centered around
discussions on "Boosting Family
Morale," "Who Is A Good Family ;
Member?," "How Family Life
Can Develop Fine Character and.
Attractive Personalties."
You see club work does mean
something to rural women. It is!
a desire of the home agent to j
organize a club in every com- 1
munity that desires and organiza
tion. At the present there are
ten clubs in the county with a
membership of 147. Those clubs
are located in the following com- j
munities: Antioch, Ash, Bolivia, I
Boones' Neck, Cape Fear, Leland.
Shallotte Village, Supply, Town
Creek and Winnabow. If you live
in one of these communities, and
do not belong to the club won't
you join now? Ask your neigh
bor and she will tell you about
the value she receives from these
meetings. If your community i
does not have a club and there
are as many as ten ladies who I
are interested in club work your'
Home Ajent will be delighted to;
com? to your community and
IJelp ' you to organize. See or
write Alene McLainb, Home
Agent, Supply. ]
Several Home Demonstration
Club members have been so gra
cious as to give their own testi
monies about club work and what
it has meant to them. If you
will let us help you it can mean
the same thing to you, we need
you in our organization. I
