FRIDAY, MAY 12th, 1950 I
In 1940 the Penny Branch Club
decided they needed a club house.
A meeting was called and the hus
bands were invited. The men were
' interested in the Idea and came for
ward to give help and ideas. They
aid they would give timber and
, $5.00 to start with, that was only
'. four, which made $20.00, and our
Agent gave $5.00. So with timber
on the stump and $25.00 in cash a
start was made. Men were to cut
''the logs and a log cart was borrow
ed to haul them out of the woods.
The lumber company haulded the
logs to the saw mill, sawed them
and brought the dumber back to
the lot, which had been given by
one of the members.
1 The Club made a crocheted bed
spread and sold chanches on it
making $47.00. The County Agent
made arrangements for the club to
serve a supper to a county commit
teemen's meeting, which netted
$35.00. The members decided to put
on a cake sale eaeh Saturday in
Warsaw in which much needed cash
was raised. The weather got too
hot for the cake sale and It was dis
continued. The men were spending
ell their spare time working on the
club house. The saw mill and all
the merchants gave considerable
. dlsc6unts op the lumber sawed and
materials bought.
In September the house was com
pleted enough that the members
gave a chicken salad supper and
Made $25.00 for which doors and
windows were bought.
The club has an auditorium 20
.' by 30 feet, kitchen about 14 by 18
feet, and a storage room 8 by 12
feet. It wa swired during the sum
mer by a son of one of the club
members.
The public has been very nice
to the Penny Branch Club and have
donated much money which was a
big help, and not only money but
an inspiration to work harder.

History Of Tin Ciiy Club
Do you remember the years 19
41 - 45? We of the Tin City Home
Demonstration Club remember
them all to well. We remember
the tragedies, sorrows and heart
aches that were happening all
around us. But we also remember
some of the nice things that hap
pened In those years. One of them
we remember very well because in
May, 1945, our Club was organized.
We were especially happy to have
a club in our community. Now we
have what we had hoped for, an
organization where all of our nei-
ghborsand friends could learn a
better way of life and while learn
ing could get to knew each better.
MRS. ROBERT DAVIS
President of Penny Branch Club.
Cooperation is one of the charac
teristics of our club. All our mem'
bers put in their two cents worth
when a major issue comes up. They
all gladly contribute to the under
privileged and are always willing
to help the sick and sorrowing.
Our husbands also appreciate
what our club is doing and espec
ially enjoy being invited to our
parties' we have.
Helpful information and useful
suggestions have been given us by
our agent, Miss Clontz. We take off
our hats to her and her able as
sistant, Miss Lawson.
We sincerely wish for them the
very best things life has to offer.

"But it takes a heap o' living to
make a house a home." This fam
ous old line has taken on a prac
tical aspect for the National Home
Demonstration Week.
And perhaps that old favorite of
men, "the woman's place is in the
home" will not be so Irritating to
the feminine gender, if the home's
place in the world reaches a worthy
height.
That is one of the reasons why
(the Extension Service's home dem
onstration program covers such a
broad scope -- including even a
United Nations project, to promote
better understanding of other
countries, through a study of the
UN and other subjects pertinent.
Mother is still the one who takes
the lead in seeing that the home's
operation is smooth. Therefore, It
is very fitting that National Home
Demonstration Week should end
with her day. There are many tri
butes that are paid mothers for

Safety in the Rain When invest
ing in a new umbrella, consider
the safety advantages of those cov-
ered with transparent plastic. When
a transparent umbrella Is lowered
over the face to keep off driving
rain, you can still see where you
work, their forbearance, their un
derstanding, and many others -
but all of them are the tapestry of
a good home.
Mother is always the "chief cook"
and sock mender. But her Influ
ence on the children and her part
in training them right calls for edu
cation and intricate psychology.
The welfare of the family also re
quires her to knew something of
sanitation and health .Running of
the household to meet the budget
requires some knowledge of eco
nomy and the handling of money.
To help her children iron out their
jroblems she must know something
of the functions of schools, church
es, and all groups with which they
will come in contact. To make sure
that the best laws are set up for
her children's future she has to
know something about politics
governments, and international af
fairs. Of course, father has a re
sponsibility in these things, too.
Yes, the woman's place is in the
home, but the home's scope has
their loyalty, their sweetness, their 1 enlarged considerably from the old
unselfishness, their tenacity for conception.

In the community east of Rose
Hill, reaching from Charity Cross
RoaTds to (the town limits of Rose
Hillt there is the thriving, growing
Rose Hill Home Demonstration
Club. On March 12, 1947, Miss Hil
da, Clontz, County Agent met with
a small group of women and orga
nized this club. There were 12 char
ter members, with Mrs. Frank
Blanchard as the first president.
Usually from the beginning, a new f
club slowly makes its way upward,
Increases its membership, shows
interest and leadership. But this
club has made progress by leaps
and bounds. Today there are 18
members on the roll, all of them
very active, energetic members and
leaders.'fThe homes and yards of
these members speak for themsel
ves. Some years ago the late Mrs.
Esteile Smith made the remark
here in Duplin County, that she
could ride along the roads and tell
the homes of Home Demonstration
Club members. So it is with these
Rose Hill Club members. Numbers
of homes have been decidedly im
proved, kitchens remodeled , and
made more convenient, sinks and
running water systems installed. At
least eight of the homes have mod
ern bath rooms, and others are
planning installation. There are 7
home freezers, 7 washing machines,
4 electric sewing machines, several
electric, and gas stoves, vacuum
cleaners, electric mixers, and other
labor saving devices in these homes.
All the homes have electric lights,
and telephones are now being made
available.
These time and labor saving con
veniences have made possible the
planning and enjoying of just such
social gatherings as this club enjoy
ed this month, when with husbands
and families, the members gathered
at the home of the president, Mrs.
G. W. Bradshaw, for the annual
Shad Supper. There were 48 pres
ent, and some of the husbands were
heard to remark they were hoping
It would not be long before another
such social was planned.
There are a good number of chil
dren in the homes of these club
members, and particular interest
is shown in the family life programs
the club work provided. The family
life leader attended the training
school conducted by Mrs. Swain in
Wallace and presented it to this
very interested group.

vements and fairly boasting of
them? We want the readers of this
paper to know inspiration to better
living and better community and
home life the Home Demonstration
Club work in this county affords,
and that our community, that had
never had a Home Demonstration
Club before, might inspire other
communities in the county to or
ganize one, and enjoy the fellow
ship, and learn the household helps
we get at our meetings. Then tin-
county meetings, which our liudci -.
attend, and the district nu-elinss.
at which this club has been repre
sented, furnish wonderful opportu
nities for fellowship and education.
To sum it all up, the members of
Rose Hill Club are proud o be a
part of the- group of 720 Duplin
County Farm Women, who under
(he expert guidance of our Agent,
Miss Hilda Clontz, are well on the

children, Mrs. A. K. Dunn. The
Dunn family have a year round
garden and can an average of 400
qts. fruits and vegetables. A 20 cu.
ft. home freezer has recently been
purchased and they are enjoying
frozen foods along with the fresh
and canned. Three cows are kept
to insure an adequate supply of
milk and butter at all times. Fifty
layers are kept all year and fryers
are raised at Intervals. A good sup
ply of pork Is cured and frozen.
The Dunn's spend around $400 a
year for food. This is mostly for
staples that cannot be grown on
the farm.
Most of the garments worn by
the family are made by Mrs. Dunn.
This family started out renting
land but have purchased a 53
acre farm near the one they rent
and now operate them Jointly,
growing 7 acres of tobacco. They
hope to build a new home on their
own farm In the not too distant
future, When not busy with his
farming Mr. Dunn does carpenter
work. The home life of this fam
ily is wholesome with all the chil-
Also last year the club boasted of
a County Council President, a
County Beautrfication Leader, a
winner in Better Farming for Bet
ter Living Contest, and a member
to attend Farm Home Week.
Why are we writing these achie-
dren helping with the work and
sharing in the family fun.
This buSy homemaker finds time
to attend church, womans society
of Christian Service meetings,
weekly choir practice, P. T. A., and
the Home Demonstration club
meetings, and has an interest in
everything that is for the good of
her family, school, church, and
community. She has served as re
creation leader, family life leader,
and health leader in her club.
While serving as health leader she
made a radio talk over a Kinston
station. At present she is making
an efficient secretary for her club.
The most noticable traits her
acquaintances find are her conta
gious smile, her good sense of hu
mor and pleasant and attractive
appearance.
After getting her husband's
breakfast, while waiting for the
rest of the family to arise she
often composes bits of poetry.
Following is one of her poems
and you will find others elsewhere
in this issue.
