A GOOD NBFOBIUHCE
The Tabor City Civitan Club is to be commended foi
splendid performance of its third annual minstrel which
was staged last Friday night. The Civitans have workec
hard on this project for several months and deserve the
kind of attendance which they received.
Funds taken in from the minstrel will be used, as in the
past for a worthy civic cause. Some of the funds are ear
marked for the Tabor City Finer Carolina project in which
the Civitans have been entrusted with joint sponsorship
of a childrens playground and park.
It's good to see a civic group get out and raise money
for such causes without having to ask for outright contri
butions. Their efforts were most certainly deserving oi
reward.
POLITICS GETTING HOT
Politics in Columbus and Horry counties, as well as all
over the nation are getting on the hot side again. Seems to
be more interest shown in this election than a lot of those
that come around every two years. Personally, we are
happy to see this interest and hope more Christian, honest
people can see their way to vie for positions in our gov
ernment.
Politics have reached a point that not many men of
integrity care to get their names involved. There are of
course exceptions to this rule and it is our belief that the
voting public should study their candidates and make a
sincere effort to put honorable men in office.
We have every reason to believe that a lot of voters
cast their ballots on the basis that you can't beat such and
such a politician so why vote against him. This is poor
reasoning and should by no means influence the voter. It's
our belief that every effort should be made to elect honest
Christian men and men with common sense and business
ability. Every voter has to do his own individual share in
order to accomplish this feat. Professional politicians
spend a lot of time winning votes in shady ways in many
instances rather than through honest promises to the citi
zens which they intend to keep.
It seems to us that the time is at hand to break up the
political rings and put America back on a sound footing
with the "best" man winning rather than the man who
can talk the most fluently, tell the most jokes, and hood
wink the most people.
American government from Washington to the pre
cinct needs honorable men with sincere principles and
until the voters wake up and do something toward putting
good men in office, fraud, corruption and dishonesty is
going to continue to reign.

INCREASING INTEREST IN
MUSIC
("Music washes away from the
soul the dust of every-day life"—
Auerbach)
The Home Demonstration club
women of Columbus County are
becoming more music conscious.
Their interest has taken expres
sion in two ways—(1) an intensi
fied study of music in the month
ly meetings and (2) a county
choral group led by Mrs. Milton
Blake of Chadbourn.
Music is discussed six of the
] twelve meetings in the year. Of
all the vast subjects in the field
of music, folk music was chosen
for the theme, concentrating on
, southern mountain music. An ef
fort has been made to present
these programs in different ways,
including a folk dance for one
month.
The cnorai group is part cu α
state-wide program sponsored by
W. P. T. F. in Raleigh. There is
a first prize of $50 to be awarded
to the state winner. The purpose
of these choral groups is to furth
. er stimulate improvement of chor
al music among farm families in
North Carolina. The group is com
posed of home demonstration club
members and any men who would
like to join.
The Columbus County choral
group gave its first performance
at the 18th District Meeting of
the Home Demonstration Clubs in
Whiteville at the Baptist Church,
April 4th. Their selection was
America. They are meeting once
a month now, working toward
singing at Farm and Home Week
in Raleigh.
In addition to the choral group
and monthly programs, many
groups in the county are sponsor
ing community sings. Some are
also taking what they learn in the
choral group back to their club
members, teaching them the songs.
The county home demonstration
club women are most grateful to
Mrs. Milton Blake, who has done
so much to help plan the program
for the year and lead the choral
group. By —Mrs. Evander Arnette,
County Music Leader.
MESS A GEE FOR NATURAL
HOME DEMONSTRATION WEEK
April 27 to May 4 will be the
seventh National Home Demon
stration Week. In these seven
years of actively «dvertising our
good fortune, more and more rec
ognition has come to the National
Home Demonstration Council. Part
of this recognition is certainly due
to the plan, suggested bv nur own
editor of National Notes, of setting
aside a special time each year in
which we tell the rest of the
world about our activities as
homemakers.
From the beginning v/e have
had the blessing of our Govern
ment through the Extension Serv
ice of he United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. We have had
help and encouragement from all
hands in the Extension Service!
from Director Wilson on down to
the youngest Home Demonstration
Agent.
Other help and a growing
awareness of the importance of
our work has come to us. This
year a publication of national cir
culation has offered us some
splendid publicity — the Farm
Journal has printed and is dis
tributing some posters to help us
spread the word around. We are
no longer "that group of women
who get together and sew feed
sacks," but an organization that
is sufficiently known and respect
ed to be asked to send representa
tives to many of the conferences
where decisions are made that af
fect our lives directly. We have
recognition as a force that can be
useful in shaping policies.
It is not just a matter of being
on mailing lists (although we do
get a great spate of the straight
from-the-printing-press - to - the
waste-basket type of literature),
it is a matter of being asked for
advice. It is always very gratify
ing to have good standing among
R CITY TRIBUNE, TABU*
our friends and those who know
us best, but it is also gratifying
to have recognition from strang
ers. The real purpose of our Na
tional Home Demonstration Week
Uli, 11, u.
is to make gains in this particular
sort of recognition. Suppose we
dedicate this week from April 27
to May 4 as the time when we let
the rest know the best about us.
We can show that we deserve uie
I acclaim we have received. We can
acquaint more Americans with
the privilege we have of perfect
mg uuiswYcs in our
of homemaking. Μ
