A. and Mesdames Hall, Warren Write Timely Suggestions On Home Beautification - By VELMA BEAM Many of the Home Beautifica tion Project Leaders have 1 al ready done some splendid work in their field of endeavor, and this week’s page, which brings us suggestions from our Exten sion Specialist might also carry timely suggestions from our lo cal club members. The following article is a paper prepared and given by Mrs. L. H. Hall of the Cunningham Home Demonstration Club at one of their regular meetings. “Home Beautification” Though we should strive at all times for cleanliness and beauty in and around our home, we should put forth our greatest ef forts in the Spring, for it is at this season of the year that moth er nature so ably assists us with her beauty and color. Beautification, cleanliness and sanitation are the greatest con tributing factors to contented healthful home life but, in my opinion, the most important of these factors are cleanliness and sanitation. When we make these “two” our watch-words, beauty is but a natural attainment, for Miss Anne Watkins left Friday to spend her vacation in the wes tern part of the state. Charles Ball, Jr. has returned from Valdosta, Ga. where he was on the tobacco market during (he past few weeks. ■ .1 PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. Ph. D. degrees from the same in stitution. He is an asistant profes sor of Botany at Smith College. The couple will make their home in Northampton, Massachusetts. Mrs. Cooper is a member of Delta Gamma Sorority. Mr. Coop er is a member of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity and of the fol lowing scientific societies: Phi Sigma, Gamma Alpha, Sigma Xi. The following announcement of the event has been issued; Mr. Charles Edwin Payne announces the marriage of his sister, Isabella Elizabeth, to Mr. George Olds Cooper on Friday, the eighteenth of August, 1939, at Chapel Hill, North Carolina beauty inevitably follows cleanli ness. When things are clean in and around our homes they naturally look better and each time a thing is made to look better it gradual, ly approaches a stage of beauty. Some of us might say that clean ing and beautifying our sur roundings would involve a good deal of cost, but this is far from true. There are literally thous ands of things we can do to bet ter and beautify our surround ings which do not involve any monetary outlay. A little time and energy plus a lot of honest effort are the major require ments. When we think of beautifica tion or improvements, we all think in terms of dollars and cents, but let us not do this. If you’ll pardon the expression we are all more or less richly endow ed with what is commonly called “elbow grease.” This so called el. bow grease doesn’t cost us a dime, . but goes further than any dollar i in attaining the greatest and most important of all goals, cleanli ness and sanitation, which ultim ately adds beauty in and around our homes. In the country, as a rule, yards are so spacious that keeping them clean is quite a problem. Again nature plays an important part in the scheme of things and places at the disposal of all the greatest single instrument for dirt chasing in existence. I speak of the old-fashion dog wood brush broom. This little inexpen- Phone 450! Pre-Nuptial Parties Continue For Miss Stephens i Complimenting Miss Rachel Stephens, popular bride-elect of early September, Mrs. Norman Ross entertained last night at Ross entertained Frir’ny night at an attractive bridge party at the Ross residence on Dacian avenue in Durham. Guests also showered Miss Stephens with pieces of lin en. Blue and white tallies indicated the places of the players. Summer blossoms decorated the living room, where the three tables were set up for contract. After several progressions, scores were added and prizes aw arded high scorer and second high. Then the hostess served her guests a delicious refreshment course consisting of frozen salad, cheese sticks, nut bread sandwich es, and fruit punch. Almonds and coffee were placed on the tables. Friends invited for the party were; Miss Stephens, guest of honor; Misses Sarah Fisher, Bun ny Thompson of Creedmoor, Mar garet Gibbons, Mary Yarborough, Cornelia Yarborough, Janet Or mond, Maude McCracken, Mar jorie Winston; Mesdames David . Martin, Jamse Tullis, and William H. Kaufman, all of Durham. sive implement, wielded with the proper authority, quickly and efficiently works miracles on the most unsightly yards and as I’ve said before the only expenditure necessary is that old proverbial elbow grease. In closing let us all remember to use the facilities at hand, for in so doing the results will be most gratifying and the fruits of sur labor can be easily seen. ’Tis raid cleanliness is next m Godli ness, and a thing of beauty is a joy forever, so let’s bear in mind that cleanliness spells sanitation, sanitation means health and health means happiness, the right ful heritage of us all and again the biggest asset in gaining this goal is elbow grease, for this is the commodity that tends to make any home a better place at which to live. Many casual observers, when thinking of home demonstration work in general, think only of the practical phase of it, but there is a very definite effort on the part of the members to develop the cultural aspects of the home. The emblem itself carries the health fire in the center to sym bolize the center of the home; it expresses the spirit of the finest attributes of the home; such as fellowship, hospitality, comfort, peace and protection. Mrs. E. P. Warren had this idea in mind when she prepared and gave as part of the devotion al to one of her local club meet ings. “What I Want My Home To Be” Many centuries ago God estab lished the home. At that time it was the chief institution of the world, and God willed that it should continue so. In these early days it was spoken of as “a place of refuge and rest, the abiding place of the affections”; and these are the qualities that I want to characterize my home. A place of peace which can be brought about only by careful planning and unselfish coopera tion by each member of the fam ily. I want each member to know that it is her home and that she has a definite part in its program, and to willingly share her part of the responsibility. I want each member of the family to know that his home is a place of refuge where he. can get away from the rush of life and by reading, study, or what ever activity appeals to him ex press himself and develop the talents given him. A place of rest, not only phy ' .... ' i * COLLEGE j x BAZAAR PREV!?W * il I m iifijjj§!& 4:;:| |p Wsmi W Inip mm Hi IP wIF f ,:ssßgs!pS : .

The abiding place of the affec tions where love rules. A place where the members love to be, where they love to bring their friends and where there is a spirit of contentment, sincerity and consistency. “This is true nature of home, it is a place of peace, free from doubts and divisions; a sacred place, a vestal temple, where none may come but those who can be received with love.” John Ruskin.

Harris, Extension Specialist from State College stressed particularly the necessity for underpining houses, having an unbroken lawn except for shade trees, and the planting of cut-houses as well as the resi dences. These seem to be very simple rules to follow and of course it merely further proves that in “quiet simplicity elegance is obtained” whether it be home beautification, interior decorat ing or clothing! Mr. Harris further urged the use of Italian rye and blue grass ior year around lawns—these to be sown in September. “The lawn is a canvas on which the picture is painted,” quoted Mr. Harris, “no matter how attrac tive the home or the shrubbery may be, it will never have the proper setting without the lawn.” “Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the preparation of the lend for the lawn,” continued Mr. Harris, “As the lawn is to be per manent, great care should be taken to have the land properly graded and thoroughly prepared before seeding. The seedbed should be fine, mellow and fair ly well stocked with decomposed organic matter, but should not be loosened too deeply.” Reasons for this were given and discuss ed. Space does not permit going into further details on the sub ject of the lawn, but those who are interested may easily obtain the bulletin “Better Lawns in North Carolina” No. 189. “When locating drives and walks it should be remembered that they are being constructed for use and not as an ornament I | And so I say I wont my home to be a family abede. a place of test and at temple sf wors'::p. ! ■ i SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 1939 for the grounds,” said Mr. Harris, “Very often they detract from the beauty of the landscape by being improperly designed or appearing neglected in upkeep.
