Featuring demonstrations of

announced this week by Director
I. O. Schi’ub, of the State College

this year’s event- will combine
two-hour lecture and discussion

lay the groundwork for what is

and Home Week held at the Col

The Far.mers’ delegation was
headed by Jacob M. Pickier of
New London, . Stanly County),
president of the Farmers’ Con
vention, and Mrs. Glenn Duncan
of Siler City, president of the
Federation of Home Demonstra
tion Clubs, represented the wo-
li\’ing in today’s world, but at
the same time, I aureed that it
might have been better to hear
what our city was doing about
the housing shortage.
“Take the small rural com
munity of our fathers’ time,”
M’allace says. “Every problem
was rhet as a community enter
prise, with a great, deal of loy
alty and spirit. Husking bees, log
rolling—why, in those days, when
a man was up against it and
needed a house, he just called
in his neighbors. Each, fermfer
was a stick in a bundle, just like
the old fable. They made a pretty
strong bundle, too.”
“That sort of thing isn’t done
anymore, huh?” I asked, looking
up the street for my bus that
was due any time now.
“Naw,” says Wallace, with a
despairing sigh. “Everybody’s too
busy these days.”
Then I told him the story of
Willie Duke.
It didn’t take place fifty years
ago, either. The last time I was
around to see E. L. Norton, Nor
thampton County Agent for the,
State College Extension Service, i State Agriculture Department

I told Wallace how Willie had
run the general community store

was destroyed by fire early on

But Willie didn’t run to his
neighbors for help. They came
to him, bright and early Monday
morning. Nothing was said about
the lumber shortage as saws went
to work on pine trees that were
part of the North Carolina land
