Block leaders ware in turn to go back into their town or community and assist families for whom they were responsible under the direct-! ion of Civilian Defense. Likewise plans were made to give a sesles of demonstrations throughout the county for the purpose of training any of the farm families in rood conservation.Plans have been made for several of these demonstrat ions. Any person or persons In the co unty requesting a demonstration -should request the services of the Home Agents or the Home Supervise.- of Farm Security in Wasaw. To date Chinquapin Faison and Rose Hill are the only towns in the county which have carried out their plans. The Home Economists aye ready to serve the people at any time they are called on and v we aie especially interested in ' reaching those people who do not know how to conserve food proper ly. : - To those of you who know how to conserve your food what can you . do to help those families who are - less fortunate to conserve their food in an effort for better health T Food conservation is being stud- led at the 20 home demonstration clubs throughout the county during the month of June and since It Is impossible to i-each. all of those people who need assistance at those meetings, we are anxious to schedule meetings in localities where there sre no clubs.
