HAYSEED By UNCLE SAM HOME OWNERSHIP The real pillar of our national exist' ance -is a stable society. One of the greatest factors for creating a stable society is home ownership. The more home owners possessed by a city or community the more permanent will be its business. Home ownership ere. ates an interest in schools and church' es. Floaters rarely take much dnter- , est in the upbuilding of their sur roundings. : No man cares to fight for , a dilapidated, snacic lor wnicn ne u paying an exorbitant rent. He would gladly retreat and leave it in : the hands of an enemy. But the 'most humble home owner feels that he has a part in the nation. The greatest 1 inciters to destruction are those who have no' stake in a home and stable community. There is need for insistence that every person .possible own their own v home. Too many sacrifice for things of much less value. . The first line of defense for Ameri ca and democracy is the people who , nave eBcuouBiiea tnemseives in a per . : manent abode. They have a home . to defend. ' ' " Youth May Apply For Scholarships . Four scholarships valued at $200 each wo in agriculture and two in home economics are available this year to .

' "National Home Demonstration Week," said the Governor, "affords an opportunity for me to express my appreciation of the fine job of adult education which is being done through home demonstration clubs. "I congratulate the 69,481 women in the 2,539 clubs in the State for the fine contribution home demonstration work is making toward strengthening American home and community life. "In studying the background of the great men and women of America, i one finds that in most cases there I was a good home a home in which were developed and maintained those qualities we value in. a democracy. The wife and mother sets a pattern for the home, and her training develops the citizens of tomorrow. It is here that we learn understanding, toler ance, and cooperation which are so es sential to the welfare of the home, the community, the nation, and the world. . FABRIC FINISHES Some fabric finishes improve ma terial in more ways than one. A per manent crisp finish, may also give a fabric soil resistance. Remember though, a good textile finish can not turn an inferior fabric into a good one. . . ; - : ..- t .. . Special finishes add to the price of fabrics or garments due to the ex tra processes needed and further ex penses for labor, equipment, and ma terials. However, this added cost may be well wnrt.h it-a nnVo An vnll fnr a good finish can mean that a fabric or garment will serve its purpose bet ter and decrease the time, energy, and BRIDGE CLUB MEETS Mrs, , Clyde McCallum entertainad her bridge club Thursday night at her home on Front Street.
