State OeBege Home life on the farm bat what It used to be. It has been elevated. It isn't now considered to be the drab, humdrum, uninteresting life that it once was. Of course there is still lots of hard work to do for one never catches up, working from daylight til dark, with all the many farm and home jobs to be done. There ale thousands and thousands of our farm families who are living in more convenient, mote attractive and livable homes. And who, I ask you, more than farm people, deserve the comforts and conveniences. My prediction is that in the future the hands of the clock will not turn back for still greater progress is in store for farm people everywhere. We know for a fact that the farm families in North have a better understanding of ail farm and home work than they have had to past years. This relationship has led to a better appreciation of die home, of the wife and mother, with her multitude of everyday duties; and of the father with the management of the farm, and the children with their 4-H club projects and their home and farm responsibilities. More family councils are being held-in which the young people are listened to; they help solve problems. Money matters are discussed in relation to the farm and home, these young people feel that they belong. This practice is keeping some of our fine young people on the farm and they are satisfied there: they appreciate their homes and parents and the many, privileges country Hfe gives them To be sure it has taken years of everlasting prodding, study, and hard wcrk for this to come to pass, but "The heights of great men reached and kept were not attained "by sudden flight" When" homemakers and their daughters can work in well planned and well arranged kitchens with color, light, adequate storage space and efficient tools, no wonder they can see sunshine on the soap suds in the dish pan. When the fattier and hia sons come In from their long day of honest work, they toe- can enjoy this farm kitchen because it came about by close cooperation. And seek into the kitchen I*ntry, you will see bulging shelves with row after row of beautifully canned fruits and vegetables, pickles, Jams and marmalades, some for emergency and some far anytime. livable living Seem And we go along through these farm homes into the living rooms; then we find furniture wall grouped and well arranged, comfortable chairs with gay slip covers—which have been made at heme. One might see, too. an old piece of furniture the whole family has helped reflnlsh, and there is co'or on the walls, well chosen pictures, reading matter, a magazine, a paper or a book or two/maybe from the boclxno'f-fe, and perhaps framed on this living room wail k the Family Food Production Certificate and also a framed reading certificate that the mothef has jfotten because she read and reported on three good books to her club or to a group of her friend*. The beefrooms have not been neglected. Mayoe one could see homemade cot i underfed ^ and hunj? ob secure clothes lines correctly to order to sCvrtlme, ironing and energy. . Then It would be natural to expect a garden with a variety of vegetable* growing, a poultry flock, hogs, and enws, to meet the bade seven requirement! for health and happiness. Step outside and bear the nan of the house tell how many loads of dirt he ond his son hauled to cover up the life roots that grass might be sown, the row of white ftafls to screen the out buildings, dogwoods, rod buds, and other native plants for beauty and color have been brought In from the farm and planted. Again the whole family has bad a part 13 this heme beautifies tton work that is covering the State. More looking around and we can see the smokshnwae full of well-cured ine.it, the farm tools under Shelter, painted and oiled from rust, the nails, sarews, plow points and baling wire not under foot but neatlff rolled and nanglng en nails, all where they bolong. And on'we go from farm to farm, iH>i seeing this progress at every one, ao, but just give the farm people another 23 years and you can take them as they eetne down the road to the ray last one for they all will be living a more abundant life. And on we go from farm to farm, not seeing this progress everywhere, but there cloee by one can see the country church, new Sunday School rcotns or a recreation building is being built, the lawn clipped and grounds planted. This is » thriving, growing church which stands for better farming, better homes and working farjp organisations. Farm people knew that a revived interest In what the church stands for is our only,hope for continuing Democracy.
