Macon County Home Demonstration Agent
COMMENDS WORK OF

Franklin, N. Cn
Dear Sir:
In behalf, of the farm women of
Macon county, I wish to say a
few words in regard to the great
work which has been done among
us for the past year and a half.
Through the efforts of our home
demonstration agent, Mrs. Katherine
O'Neil, who came to us over a
year ago, and through our cooper
ation with her in the work, I feel
that we 'have already accomplished
much. We have learned better
methods of - caring for the home
and family, both from a physical
and aesthetic standpoint. We can
feel now that nothing we do is in
vain, because we have found a way
to work purposefully, and with re
sults. We know that our surplus
food supply can be turned into
cash, through our home demonstra
tion curb market. The work of
the clubs in the different com
munities has aroused a competitive
spirit among ,us, which makes for
a higher standard of work, and a
greater enthusiasm. Last, but not
least, we have been made to real
ize that for the farm women, life
can be filled with beauty instead
of drudgery. '
All these things have a lasting
value. Ideals and methods which
Recreation Program

Supervisor of Recreation

Editor Press:
We wish to express through your
columns a word in regard to "The
Project of Recreation," and "The
N. Y. A.," being sponsored by Mr.
T. J. O'Neil and Mrs: J. A. Ord-
way. .Botn are very mucn auKc as
they deal with young people and
the average citizen should be very
much interested in the various
problems with which they deal
Training young folks to work with
their 'hands as well as their minds,
seeing things in the. light of artistic
beauty and arrangement and guard
ing their health so they will grow
to be strong and fit for thee battle
of life is a wonderful work.
Recreation means much if you
think of it in' the right way, and
is a large subject. Under it would
come health, amusements, life ex
tension, etc. It is not only the chil
dren who need play or other re
laxation to keep them physically
and mentally fit ; grown people,
those who give up most of their
time to work, are no less dependent
upon some form of recreation. The
man whose work is monotonous and
deadening needs' play to invigorate
his mind;' the student or the man
of large affairs needs it as a men
tal rest, as a let-down to a mind
too tensely, keyed.
There is thus a valid reason for
many of the amusements which
have been ' devised in almost in
finite numbers, because different
people demand different kinds of
recreation. They may relax with
all sorts of games, all kinds of
work.
Some would prefer games of skill
in which they might , take a part,
others would like to watch the skil
ful moves of others, therefore
spend the summer afternoons at
the ball game. Still others, when
they become skilled or even as a
fad, would find amusement in the
use of tools, seeing things grow
from rough wood and forming into
things that may De usetui. iiow
many rainy afternoons have . been
spent in the wood shed or little
shop by scores of boys ? It would
surprise you to even know, perhaps
you had never thought of it, but
it is even so. Then would it not be
a aiicuuc nui give vuc uujr cut
even break and let him saw and
cut to his heart's content?
There are many of these amuse
ments that are harmful, that the
mind invents. Now is the time to
train the boy for the future citizen.
Let some one who can, direct this
play habit into its natural course.
Uslncr the muscles as well as the
mind makes strong men and wo
have already been established will
last through generations o come
and will improve the standard of
living of our people;
It is our earnest desire that the
great work may continue.'
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ed. Byrd,
Past President, ' Macon County
Council, Home Demonstration Clubs
CANNING DEMONSTRATION
A canning demonstration will be
held in the county on April 6, to
Which 1 the public will be invited.
Let us bring up the standard of
our canned products and have it
equal that of the more advanced
counties in the state. Canning dem
onstrations have been given for
twenty years in some of our coun
ties. Macon county has come up
to others in home demonstration
work in other phases. Women, let
us bring this up . also. The place
and date of the demonstration will
be given in next week's Press.
District Meeting
The district . meeting of home
demonstration clubs will be held
at Sylva, sometime in May. Let us
begin, to plan to attend the meet
ing. There one will meet farm
women from the six neighboring
counties. Friends will be made,
problems will be discussed, arid
work planned for the coming year.
Some of our women will have part
on the program. Let us set our goal
at two hundred. We can do it.
men. They understand the rules of
hygienic living and by sheer will
power extend life many years. This
extension would not mean adding
a few years 'to feeble old age, but
adding to the years of youth and
strength and postponing the .years
of senility. A life thus lengthened
is broadened, both in usefulness
and in enjoyment.
The projects above referred to
are giving Macon county a chance
that she has never had before.
While the iron is hot is the time
to strike. Let's give it. a boost and
work hand in hand with our help
ers, and remember that much of
the loose thinking of our time is
due to poor " educational drill. In
fact, the failure of schools to teach
pupils how to apply minds and how
to think is one of their common
reproaches. The mentally trained
person who is also physically strong
has the combination that puts his
powers at easy command. He can
be joyously busy doing the impos
sible because the doing of it has
been made easy by training.
How much native power there is
in all of us that-for want of pow
er training or sympathetic encour
agement never comes to maturity!
How many of the finer qualities of
character, that for want of cheerful
companionship and wise direction
failed to mature and now lie dead
in us. Very many people are only
partly alive. A large part, and in
some, the best part, is dead. . The
capacity they show, is probably only
a small share of a fine inheritance
which, not knowing how to use,
they allowed to die. Should we
commit this great and sad mistake
to the rising boys and girls. No we
must not .We must give them a
square deal and help to uplift and
support (the cause that is giving
them the means whereby they can
surmount these giant obstacles.
The public schools cannot give
them this kind of training. They do
not have the . time, because they
must give , them the prescribed
course of study. Our government
has discovered the situation and
has given us the chance. Are we
going to throw this away too?
Think about this, fellow citizen.
If you do not understand the work
ings of the program, ask some one
who knows and they will gladly
give you the information. When
you know you will get the spirit
and get the benefits also. It
doesn't need- boosting; it's already
boosted and doing noble work, but
the workers would like for you to
really see the marvelous and wond
erful : thinfcs they have accomDlish-
ed and, plan for the future.
