Mrs. Emmet Long; - member of
h Bethel Home Demonstration Club
' has been announced m winner of an
essay contest conducted among HOC
members in this county. Judges of
the contest were Miss Thelitis El
liott, Visa Louisa Hinea and Tommy
Haston. '
(Mrs. ' Long's essay entitled "The,
1 Rural Home" follows:
Probably no other word thrills our
hearts more than the word, "Home."
Surely John Payne's immortal song,
IHome, Sweet Home" has touched
many of our hearts and we too, have
the same feeling toward our home
as he expressed in this song. .
My rural home is located in a very
nice community. Only five miles from
the town of Hertford, which is the
county seat of Perquimans County,
Although this section of the county is
not largely populated, I assure one,
our wonderful neighbors can not be
excelled.
Last summer we put asbestos siding
on our home. This not only adds to
one's home, but makes it much warm
er, and is a permanent paint job, and
never requires painting again. On
the lawn, we have planted several
kinds of annual flowers, and plan to
plant more, as well as put out some
shrubbery.
This year we are planting a much
larger garden and of a greater va
riety than the one we had last year.
We have just finished a new brood
er house with a capacity of one-hundred
fifty chickens. We are planning
to save the pullets for early fall lay
ers, and keeping (the remainder of the
flock for food. This means dressing
them while they are still fryers, and
putting them in the locker. 1
Speaking of our locker, we rent one
over at the Hertford Locker and Pack
ing Co. When we need additional
space during a special time of the year
we rent another locker for the months
which we actually need more space.
Not only do we store fruits and
vegetables in the locker, hut all of
our meat, too, with the exception of

'We have had- electricity, in our J
nomes lor approximately lour years.
Now we. too, can enjoy the many co ri
ven iea made posblety having
elecJcity. I do my laundry with an
electric- washing machine and iron.
The walls of my home are mostly
pastel colors, with the exception of
two rooms which ' are white. Our
home consists of six rooms.'1 althou- h
We only use the downstairs which has
four rooms, as there are. only two ox,

The ' living room colore are greet
and . yellow, with matching plastic
furniture, draperies and rugs. Our
bedroom is Pink and blue with a at.
hogany bedroom suite and matching
pieces.
I have attached two pictures of the
kitchen, to this essay, which to me is
my prize room. Surely, more of us
as, homemakers spend more of our
time in this room. You will note in
these pictures the sink ' and double
drainboard, and the cabinets which
extend across one side of the room,
with the electric range and refrigera
tor built in. Also the yellow chrome
dinette suite.
Although we do not have a tele
vision set as yet, we do have a radio
and phonograph which, we enjoy lis
tening to very much.
Our home is heated with an oil
burner, which is located in the center
of the four rooms. It will easily
heat three of those at the time.
As to the water supply, I (eel I am
truly blessed. IWe have faucets in
the kitchen, porch and in the yard,
too. Not only do we use the water
for livestock, but I use it for all my
washing, as it never causes anything
to become yellow.: It also is very
good for drinking and cooking pur-

poses.
In conclusion, I feel I too, can say
with John Payne, "Mid Pleasures and
Palaces. Though we may roam, he
it ever so humble, there's no i place
like Home.". Certainly, we as club
women, are striving to accomplish
more and make our home the "ideal
rural home." , No truer words were
ever spoken than the title of the out-

Proper Farm Buildings
May Have Many Uses
When farm buildings' are well con
structed they may be used for pur
poses other than that for which they
were built , This is the experience of
Titus lis. Uwppell of the Center Hill
community. Several years ago Mr.
OhappeU constructed a laying house
for several hundred hens. This house
was single story and well construct
ed with a concrete foundation and
floor. After a few years Mr. Chap
pell decided to quit the poultry busi
ness. He raises .hogs and has been
having considerable difficulty in losing
pigs by foxes, buzzards and other
causes. He decided that a way to
eliminate this would be to place' his
brood sows in a farrowing house at
farrowing time and keep his young
pigs on pasture until they have de
veloped beyond hose hazards causing
the trouble.
AH Mr. Chappell had to do was re
move his roosting racks and other
poultry equipment from his poultry

' Americans d.-ank 10 per cent more

Cheese consumption during 1961 was

while butter consumption dropped v 42
per cent below the 1935-39 average.

special report, "How Americans Use
Their Dairy Foods," issued, recently
by the National Dairy Council, Chica
go, a non-profit, research, and educa

Translated into quarts, this means
U. 3. citizens nrank an average of 24
more quarts of milk and cream in 19161
than they did about 10 years ago.
The increase brought average con
