Many homemakers realize what improved educa tion can do for our homes of tomorrow. So here in Ma con County a part of annual club dues, which are 50c a year, help support these loan funds.

Help Themselves "Help Youth Help Itself" is what the Jane S. McKimmon Loan Fund has endeavored to do for 25 years. This loan fund has been one of the outstanding achievements of the North Car olina Federation of Home Dem onstration Clubs. As a tribute of love and af fection for their state home Demonstration agent, the Home Agents' Association of North Carolina in December, 1927, established this loan fund, to be called the Jane S. McKim mon Loan Fund, and to be used to aid rural girls in attending college to pursue their studies in home economics. Later, this policy was broadened to include loans to rural girls desiring a college education in any' field. This fund is in charge of a committee known as the Jane S.

Home Management As we observe "National Home Demonstration Week", let us stop and take inventory on the project of home man agement and family economics. We have found more resources available to farm famines than we had ever dreamed of. We have made great progress to conserve woman power by the wise use of planning to con serve this power. Every member in the family has been enrolled in a cam paign to make farm homes a safer place to live.

(Staff Photo) Health-Safety' Are Musts Of Better World At a program planning com mittee meeting, a home demon ' stration club woman suggested that club members study saftey. ] The suggestion included home accident prevention, as well as highway safety. It's sad, but true; statistics tell us that last year 28,000 persons were killed due to accidents in the home, and injuries for the same year totaled over four million! When Olive Hill and Oak Dale club women were asked to choose their title, they felt that every one's attention should be brought to an ageless problem. Mrs. Vera Rogers, vice-president of the club, agreed to be spokesman for the group. ? Mrs. Florence Sherrill. Health And Safety Long before a person is born, until the day he dies, health and safety must be practiced if a bet ter world of tomorrow is to be built. Many cases where children are born with a physical handi cap might have been prevented had their mothers had the proper ; nutrition and medical care they needed. On the other hand, each in dividual, whether he is aware of it or not, makes a choice as to his health, to guard it as the greatest physical asset he can ever have, or to endanger it by indifferent living and trust there will always be doctors, medicines, or operations to restore it after it wastes too far away. Sensible Course The sensible course from any viewpoint is tb conserve and maintain health to the best of one's knowledge. Thus, periodic check-ups and adequate diets can do much to correct the small leak in the dam that holds your resevoir of health, in preference to trying to rebuild the dam after your strength and energy have washed away. It is becoming more apparent that a prolonged inadequate diet lacking in the proteins, minerals, and vitamins the body needs for growth and repair produces a variety of borderline ailments. Safety Practices Safety practices in the every day living greatly contribute to the health of all. The body that each person lives in is one of God's greatest creations, but the most perfect body in the world can be sadly maimed many times for life by an accident, not the least being traffic accidents. Ac cidents involving children are high on the list. Statistics show they are their own worst traffic hazards. So many times it is not a speeding or drunken driver in volved, but a careful one that small child darted in front of, without the driver's notice until it was too late. What can we do about this? In part, small children should be well supervised and more re sponsible ones Instructed in traf fic rules, about traffic lights, etc., and taught to look before WHY PAY DOCTOR? ? Its Never Economical To Pinch Food Dollar Last year Paiton commun ity development organisation was awarded the prize for the best home food supply. Little wonder when there are lead ers like Mrs. Lawrence Pat ton serving as county foods leader. Mrs. Patton believes that the nutrition program of the home demonstration clubs is one of the most vital. Read her convincing story. ? Mrs. Florence Sherrill. Proper Foods "Today's Home Builds Tomor row's World." Yes, indeed our homemakers of today, as al ways, play an outstanding part in the health of our citizens of walking regardless of the traffic signal. Mrs. Vera Rogers i Olive Hill? Oak Dale Club) tomorrow. In food and nutri tion especially, for without proper food a family or nation cannot be physically strong. It is never economical to pinch the food bill. Usually we have to make up for what we save in doctor bills if our family is not fed properly. Time In Kitchen Doubtless to say the biggest percentage of a homemaker's time is spent in the kitchen, and well it may be for it is there she plans, prepares, and serves her family three meals a day. The job of feeding the family may well be one of the most important things that the mother has to do, for the strength and fitness of our citizens of tomorrow depend on NO. 1, PAGE 16 I I I \ We are proud of the Home Demonstration ladies of Macon County, and for the fine inspira tion they have given us all.
