PAGE SIX THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTJUKLi, . rxvix, xuvW , Food Conservation Sponsored By Office Of Civilian Defense Under the sponsorship of the Of fice of Civilian Defense all Home Economists in North Carolina have volunteered their services to teach all families urban and rural how to conserve fhe foods produced under the Food for Freedom Program, so that no one in North Carolina will go hungry during the winter of 1943 L944. In organizing this program Mrs. Stella R. Cusick of the Farm Security Administration, Miss Catherine L. Dennis of Vocational Home Econom ics and Miss Ruth Current of Exten sion met with Dr. John Fox Kendrick of 0. C. D., who is State Chairman of the Nutrition Committee, and worked out plans for (1) a workshop on the State level at which Home Economists on the State and District levels met together to work out plans for reaching the last family on the last row in the whole State, (2) worked out plans for these Home Economists to give demonstrations in every county in the State, first to the paid Home Economists in the county and then to all of the Sector Leaders in the towns of the county. . 1 In this two-day meeting plans are to be worked out so that trained Home Economics workers, paid and volunteer, will give demonstrations in every zone in towns and every ru ral community, so that leaders thus trained can reach every family in every county. This is the first time in the his tory of the State that all organiza tions have worked together to put over a coordinated program of food conservation that will reach every family in the State with uniform in formation. So impressive was this program that Washington not only sent representatives to the State meeting, but also asked that a copy of the plans for the meeting be sent to them to be distributed to every State in America. On March 18 and 19, Miss Martha Smith, associate Home Management Supervisor, FSA., will be in Hertford for a two-day demonstration. On Friday, March 19, Miss Smith will give demonstrations in canning, brin ing and drying to paid Home Eco nomists of Farm Security Adminis tration, Home Economics, Extension and Commercial fields and Block Leaders. On this day they will also work out plans for reaching all rural families in the county with trained Home Economics people, paid and vol unteer, giving demonstrations to ru ral leaders throughout the county. Plans will be made so that all will be reached. On Thursday, March 18, County neighborhood leaders will be given this same demonstration. Plans will be worked out with them for reach ing every woman in towns and vil lages with demonstrations. They will enlist the services of all trained Home Economists, paid and volun teer, in giving these demonstrations. At the State meeting Governor J. M. ISroughton stated that this is not a matter of volunteering but of dedication. It should stir the pride of every North Carolinian that our State is taking the lead on a matter so vital in the present emergency. Dr. Webb Opens Veterinary Practice PERQUIMANS FARMERS KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SEED Dr. Lowell Webb, who was asso ciated with Dr. Victor Finck for a period last summer, and for the past few weeks, has recently decided to establish a private veterinary prac tice in Elizabeth City.

These seeds are tried and tested and you will have no worry about your crop when you plant our seed.
