PHONE 87 MANTEO, N. C NATIONAL HD WEEK OBSERVED THIS WEEK National Home Demonstration Week will be observed in North Carolina and through the Nation May 2-8. This is an event of great importance to Home Dem onstration Club women in our State and especially to our rural people. The theme for 1954, “To day’s Home Builds Tomorrow’s World”, focuses attention on the fundamental nature of our Home Demonstration Club work. The broad program of Home Demonstration work relating directly to home and community life has made a great contribu tion to our State. It deals with suen important subjects as child training, more efficient homt making, proper family nutrition, wise use of the family income, sewing instruction, the best se lection and use of fabrics, and better housing. Through Home Demonstration work the Extension Service en courages families to understand and face the broad problems of agriculture and their relation to world economy. It acquaints young families with the educa tional opportunities provided by the Extention Service and en courages families to use their in fluence to strengthen and enrich the communities in which they live. Home Demonstration work has emphasized that families, through organized study, plan ning and action can make a last ing contribution to home and community improvement. I commend the Home Demon stration Club women and heart ily endorse their program. I am pleased to have this opportunity to call attention to the impor tance of the Ninth National Home Demonstration Week, which I hope will be observed widely and successfully through out North Carolina.
