A Prayer For A Country Home by Mark Rich Lord, we thank Thee for our home set in the midst of fields and flocks. For the blessings of this haven we praise Thee; for the rhythm and glory of the seasons, for shelter from wind and weather, and for our friends . , . We bless Thee for giv ing us the ideal of a home in which Thou are the unseen guest . . . Yet, Lord, we bow in humility for our failures. Forgive when annoyances, selfishness, and Strife threaten the unity of our circle. Let no moment el anger rob us of the jobs of family fellowship. Save us from treating love as ordinary, and from taking for granted the daily ministrations of our loved ones. May we not give ! our worst to those we love most As we pray for Thy blessing upon us,' we bring before Thee all fam ilies. May this become such a home that it will be a room in the univer sal family of God. This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen. It does us all good: to take a deep look at our place in the world.

Johnson The week of May 2-8 is ' being - -celebrated throughout the nation asr National Home Demonstration Week . w - a week in which we like to tell ' the world of our activities. In Dup lin County we have over 600 women. who are members of 27 Home Demonstration-Clubs. These clubs are to be found in most of our. rural areas. It is through our club work that we are kept informed about . better ways of doing things. "Times have been when ''a farm woman, was picked out in a crowd by her tired, haggard look, her red calloused hands, her poorly fitting , clothes, and her timid manner. But that is not true today. Our farm women are as well dressed and groomed, can preside over f meet-, ing with as much poise and partial mentary precision as any. We still make our clothes, out we have learned how. -. ' "Our farm homes are as modern . as you will find in the city. Our children are better fed because of the food lessons, in our club. We know how to balance a meal with the right foods for muscles, teeth,, and bones." Sometimes we are asked what do we do? I would like to tell you of some of the things Duplin Home Demonstration women did last year as well as -some of the lessons we were taught. - .- - v. Education leaders worked with the Duplin School Improvement in giving educational reports concern ing the Bond Issue for Schools and Mental Hospitals. We have an educational loan fund of approximately 8400.00 from which girls may borrow to further their college training. Music leaders compiled and used a . handbook on Music Activities. Two music leaders schools were held and ' 28 leaders attended a Church music school in Wallace. A Talent Show was presented by leaders, 475. people attending. Each club participated. Recreational lead ers planned family nights and pic nics. V One club was responsible for a community house that is under con struction. ..' c Citizenship leaders attended a Ci tizenship School on which several -county leaders appeared in(a Panel Discussion. Leaders in clubs have assisted in providing dinners at homes in com munities where death has occured. They have had showers for thoes whose homes, were burned. One club sponsored a community Health Clinic. Various things have been done to raise money for community act ivities Several leaders have taught aluminum tray making in their co muni ties. Magonlia people have ab out 150 trays. County Clothing leaders solicited clothing for the Welfare Departm ent Leaders assisted in Hospilization Insurance Campaign and solicitation for Farm Bureau members. Last year our agent taught us how to serve buffet meals and a special ist taught us how to make good pies and meringues. The common cold was discussed one month. A demonstration on "Look Ahead, Cook Ahead, Freeze It" was offered one month. This demonstration help ed us in planning for the busy toba cco months. "How To Select Coats and Suits" was offered In Septem ber. . A special interest meeting on Keeping Home Records, How to Do Business At The-Bank and Easier Ironing were given several months. The demonstration on Easier Iron ing was of special interest to me. The Agent showed us equipment to use' in sitting down to iron. She taught us how to iron a man's dress shirt in four minutes instead of 15. This demonstration alone would have been worth any woman's 'time to belonging to a Home Demonstra tlon Club. . Then the demonstration on Floor Maintenance and Handmade articles for the Home wer equally as good. The floor cleaning demonstration was especially appealing to women. A flower Arrangement Demonstra tion taught us how to bring beauty indoon. Rooting and caring , for . shrubbery was given .one month. . - Leading -uk ht r work are our ! home Agents who bring to us the latest scientific Information on suV ects of vital interest and need. . . Being Home ' Demonstration member is an enriching experience. I would never miss my c'ub meet- ing. It affords me the opportunity to participate in an organization tint stands for all that Is good. Jt teacr me to put my best forward. It is helping me to become a better e ti-. ten and thereby helping me to con tribute to a better world of toinoiv row. i-i 'jrVli f4"' t T? -rf-':"! ".
