REV. FORDHAM SPEAKS I
TO JUNIOR WOMEN j
""The Place of Religion in thft
Home" was the subject so ably dis
rnssfrt by Rev. B. B. Fordham at
tke meeting' of the Junior Woman's
Club on Thursday evening:.
He began his talk by defining the
word. Religion, as the "reverent feeling
by which men indicate their recognition
of the existence at a Supreme
Being, to whom they attribute
power over their destiny and render
obedience, service, and honor;" and
the Home as "a place or abode of
affection, peace and rest; a congenial
abiding place; the scene of domestic
love and happy cherished family
life."
Continuing, he stated that "Inasmuch
ss the Home is a God-given institution,
intended lor the happiness
and welfare of mankind, these two,
Religion and the Home, are undoubtedly
more closely inter-related than
any other. Remove these from the
American scene and there wouldn't
be much left worth fighting for
worth living for—or worth dying
for! As the home needs Religion,
so does religion need the home. Let
religion permeate Your Home.
In closing, Reverend Fordham read
the following poem by Grace Crowell:
"So long as there are homes where
fires burn and there is bread;
So long as there are homes where
children are, where women stay,
If love and loyalty and faith be
found across those sills,
A .-stricken ration can recover from
its gravest ills.
So long as there are homes where
fires burn and there is bread; .
So long as there are homes where
lamps are lit and prayers are said;
Although a people faulter through
the dark—and nations grope—
With God himself back of these little
homes—We still have hope."

Farm People Asked
To Grow 'Victory
Gardens' In 1942
Gardens for Victory!
That slogan for farm people is to
be tiw counterpart of the Army's
and Navy's "Remember Pearl Harbor!"
V ' V...
The State College Extension Service,
through its farm and home
agents, subject matter specialists,
and administrative leaders, is organizing
the "Victory. Garden" campaign.
An effort mil be made to
help every one of North Carolina's
278,276 farm families to grow a yearround
garden in 1942. Backyard
gardeners in small cities and suburbs
of large < centers of population also
will be encouraged to grow "vegetables
for Vitality and victory."
Lewis P. Watson, Extension horticulturist
of State College, has been
appointed chairman of the garden
campaign committee. He and his
coworkers are planning to place a
garden placard in every rural home
in the State. ' • , On
the placard, Watson said, will
be a garden calendar, showing the
best planting dates for various vegetables,
and the amount# of seed and
varieties recommended. Also oh
the placard will be a Daily Foods
Essential budget, listing the amounts
and kinds of food needed to keep a
person healthy and strong throughout
the year.
"This Second World War is different
from the First World War in
many ways," said Watson, "but
there's no changing the fact that
food, of the right kinds and ^mounts,
is needed for strength.
"However," he added, "we are goMK
to try to avoid some of the
gardening mistakes of the 1917-18
period. We are going to discourage
the planting of gardens in soil not
suited for vegetable growing. We
don't have the seed, fertiliser and
| other materials to waste ?n gardens
planted in backyards and other
places where cinders, brickbats and
rubbish constitute the 'fiSoil'. Plant

Dealers Need
Orders For Parts
Farm era are being advised to order
repair parte for their tractors, plows
and other machines at the earliest
possible moment. "There's an important
reason," says D. S. Weaver,
State College agricultural engineer,
"and it's not the usual 'Shop Early
and Avoid the Rush' sort of appeal."
Here's the way the Extension Service
specialist explained it: The
Office of Production Management is
prepared tS give farm machinery,
manufacturers priority on metal*,
BUT not until they receive orttera
from their dealers, BACKED UP BY

Therefore, say*v Weaver, farmers
must determine now what parts they
need to put their machine* in good
order for the 1042 season. Then,
they must place their orders immediately
for these , $
The usual practice of waiting until
just before a machine is needed in
the spring, and then going to town
for a repair part, will not work this
year. There wont be any repair
