During World War I Miss Helen Gaither carried on the work on a small scale.- Canning and preserving of foods were1 the main projects'in those day. Then for a period of time there was no Home Demonstration work in Perquimans. In the early thirties a group' of wo men went before the Board pf County Commissioners ' to ask for a Home Demonstration Agent for Perquimans County. At this time, the request was not granted. However, a year later, it was approved. V ):":- The first Home Agent was Miss Gladyce Hamrick who came from Kings Mountain. Mrs. M. T. Griffin was first County President; she is now a member of Hopewell Club." At that time there were two clubs, Belvidere and Bethel, with approximately 25 to 30 members. New; Hope Club was the third club organized. 4-H Clubs were soon organized for girls and boys and the work went forward under Miss Hamrick's leadership. ' In the .early forties, Miss Hamrick resigned because of ill health of her father and went, to work near her home to be with her father. , j; v Miss Frances Maness of Buies Creek came to Perquimans following Miss Hamrick. For a number of years, Miss Maness worked with the 4-H Club members to develop, strengthen, and cultivate the work of the Home Demonstration Club in their effort in conservation of life and in promoting higher standards of living in the home and community in such fields as health, safety, citizenship, internation al relations, and education. During World War II a curb market was sponsored where women took their products. The service men's wives as well as other women were glad to buy these products and the club members were glad to have a little extra money to spend.'.' In the fall, we had a county fair with each club having a project. Re finished furniture and live at home were two projects that won blue rib bons at the fair, while the County , Council members took turns serving at ! the hot dog stand. v ; In 1948, Miss Maness resigned to ac cept a position as Home Economist with an electrical appliance company. Miss Nina Braswell, from Jackson.' came to Perquimans as Home Agent in June' of 1948. Miss Braswell was married to! Emory White in May of the next year. Under Mrs. White's i leadership, the clubs progressed rap-1 idly. A county chorus was organized ; and received many honors. A county! exhibit, in the State Fair at Raleigh i was very good. 4-H leader work and 4-H club programs were carried for ward under the leadership of Miss Lil lian Swinson, Assistant Home Agent at that time. In May of 1951 Mrs. White resigned to become a housewife and Miss Kimsey Perry, who was the Assistant at the time, : took over as USED CARS 1952 Chrysler, 4-door 1951 Ford, 4-door 1951 Plymouth, 4-door 1950 Ford, 2-door 1950 Chrysler, Sedan 1950 Plymouth, 4-door 1949 Ford, Sedan 1949 Plymouth, 4-door 1949 Mercury, 2-door 1948 Chrysler Coupe (WINDSOR CONVERTIBLE) 1948 Chrysler, 4-door 1948 Plymouth, 4-door 1947 Chevrolet, 2-door 1947 Ford, 2-door '47 Oldsmobile, 4-door 1946 Dodge, Pickup SEEJ yS FOR" BETTER ,BUYSVIN, USED ' CARS ! Home Asaat - - ' , Miss Perry, who was already , fa-, miliar with the county, carried the work on with no trouble whatsoever. I Under her leadership, club work pro J greased rapidly.. The women worked hard on.' all phases of homemaking ana hardly ever .were, they asked to do something that they refused The ehorus was going along very well, and they were being asked to sing at a number of different occasions. Among these were the Jaycee Minstrels and the District Meeting at Bdenton. At this time club work is still being carried on 'rapidly and progressively under the leadership of Miss Perry. 4-H Club work is being directed by Miss Clara Mason, who came to Per quimans County , as Assistant Home Agent In March, from; East Carolina College. Miss Mason is doing a very good -job and has gotten to know quite a few people in the short time she has been here. The development of club work throughout Perquimans County, over the past year, is one in which those having a part can well be proud of the continuous growth and expansion as I National Home Demonstration Week is being observed.
