AGENT URGES PARTICIPATION IN RURAL COMMUNITY CONTEST . By S. W. MENDENHALL (County Agent) Considerable publicity has been given, and justly so, to the accomplishments of the Holly Springs and Carson communi ties in the W. N. C. Community Development contest. There are many reasons for this publicity and some should be called to the attention, of other like minded Macon County com munities. Farm families living in these communities, realizing that the home is the center of all that is worth while and that the happy comfortable and conven ient home makes a stronger, progressive citizenship, decided to participate in the commun ity development program. When it is said that a man, woman, or youth is a good citizen, he or she is known to be substan tial, to believe in and work for progress in these things that SO IO LAY YOUR OWN KENTILE.

Phone 310 Palmer Street are good for the Individual and for the community as a whole ? things like better agriculture, churches, schools, recreations, and other community organiza tions. This substantial citizen, knowing that the home is the basis of all good things, realizes at the same time the close re lationship an<J utter dependence of one family on all other fam ilies. With this in mind the families in each of these two communities have joined to gether in a working organiza tion for the purpose of ex changing ideas as to what each individual can do to improve his own conditions and the community as a whole. Ques- ' tions are discussed as to just j what our community needs j most, church and grounds im provement, better church and Sunday School attendance, a community center far " educa tional and recreational facilities, home improvements, road side beautification, and other com munity activities. Projects were undertaken in order of impor tance as decided on by the group. Committees were desig nated to ,be in charge of each project. Regular monthly meet ings were held to report prog ress, to discuss new projects and methods of financing the im provements. It was inspiring to listen to the open and frank discussions, the agreements reached and then, every one cooperating to get the job done. The community development program has four main sub divisions: (1) community organizations and Development: This Includes churches', schools, health, recre ation, beautlfication, and the encouragement of other exist ing organizations, such as 4-H, P. F. A., P. T. A., and home demonstration. (2) Improved Farming Prac tices: This covers increased farm income, pasture improve ment, crop improvement, land improvement, and labor saving. (3) Farm and Home Improve ments: This entails improve ment of buildings, home con veniences, and outside improve ments. . (4) Family Living: This focuses on food supply, health, savings, and recreation. How to enter? First contact the county or home agent's of fices for more detailed informa tion. After organization has been perfected, make entry In writing to Asheville Develop ment Council for your com munity. The contest period .runs from November 15, 1952, to Novem ber 15, 1953. Your community will be a better place to live after it has actively participated in the community development pro gram. It is not what is spent, built, or remodeled that counts, but the joy in finding that your neighbor is a good fellow and wants to cooperate with you to make your community the best possible place in which to live, rear your children, and worship your Creator. Face the future together ? as a family anfl as a community. STRICTLY PERSONAL By WEIMAR JONES Continued From Editorial Pag# a new, clean pot. We look at the label, know it is put out by a reliable firm, and we take it, because we need it, and put it to use to prove itself. "And time will be the only proof that we have done the right thine." ? SP ? During this election campaign we've heard a lot about such great Issues as foreign aid, do mestic spending, Communists, etc., but there's one issue no candidate touched on. And, to our way of thinking, it's an im portant one. Not one word has been said about postage stamps. Personally, I'm sick to death of all these Issues of special stamps. The first two or three were Interesting, but the time has long since passed that any body but a philatelist ($64 name fox stamp collector) pays any attention to the special stamps that seem to come out two or three times every day. They pay no attention, that is, except they have to look twice to see if they have the thing upside down, or sideways, when they're ready to put it on a letter. It's time, too, for a Declara tion of Independence from hav ing to lick a piece of paper a yard long and two feet wide, every time you want to mail a letter. Please, Mr. President-elect, get a pledge from your new postmaster general before you appoint him: "Not one single special stamp Issue for the whole (our years!" That may create complica tion*, because we wonder if anybody, even in the post of fice department, remembers what does go on a REGULAR three-cent stamp. News Making Continued From Editorial race However, while maintaining the trusteeship it should not allow its members to block improve ments in these programs when and if they are advocated by the Republicans because of party lines.
