being held to recognize the 32,264
leaders for their contribution to
the development of better homes
and community life. Other activi

Small Beginning
From a small beginning in
1911, the home demonstration pro
gram in North Carolina has grown
to an organization covering all of
the 100 counties. This broad pro
gram features good home manage
ment, nutrition, food production
and preservation, home furnish

good reading, community activities,
and many other interests of rural

happier rural people are important
assets to our democracy,” says
Miss Stanton. “Rural people will
continue to work toward these vit
al objectives as they improve their
homes and community life, which
form the basis of a better world.”
