\ Thursday, April 24, 1930 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, South Carotinu. Page Number Two April 27 To May 3 Clean-Up Week i 1 Miss Bessie Harper, State Chair man of Better Homes in South Carolina, urges every community and town in the state to co-oper ate in this movement by designat ing April 27th-May 3rd Clean-Up Week. She urges the pastors of all churches to preach sermons on April 27th on better home life. She suggests that all superintendents or principals in co-operation with this movement put on an essay contest among its high school students on such subjects as “The Ideal Aome,” or How to Improve It, or to conduct a contest on sug gestions for a home library (50 books); that the English depart ments place special emphasis dur ing the week on short stories, nov els, etc., that exemplify the best home life; that the Manuel Train- iing and Home Economics depart- i rnents give exhibits of their work as related to better homes. She asks that the stores in every town place in their show windows special exhibits illustrating their merchandise which will improve the home. There are 129 active county or community chairmen now work ing for Better Homes in South Carolina. Miss Harper asks that everyone co-operate with them, and where there is none, that the town itself observe the week in one of the above ways mentioned. The desire for good homes lies strongly and deeply within the people of America, and the Better Homes in America movement is a tangible expression of it. This is shown in its growth during the past seven years. For in 1929, lo cal committees in nearly 6.00C cities, towns, villages, and farm districts throughout the country presented demonstration week pro grams for the benefit of millions of families. We may count our nation for tunate when we see the well-di rected. efforts that so many of our families make in order to own and improve homes that are a just source of pride to tflfinn. As Presi dent Hoover has phrased it: “In the restless currents of our modern life we are sometimes at a loss for ideals to help us keep our bearings. A higher and finer type of home is one ideal to which we can well hold fast.” j The Better Homes movement has 1 been dedicated to the purpose of i practical demonstrations and edu- ! cation that will show individuals how they can accomplish some- ; thing worth while with their avail able resources. The entire em phasis is on homes and improve ments that are within reach of ! families of low and modest In comes, and the demonstrations and programs accompanying them | are such as to aid the great ma jority of families. The local campaign culminates >in national Better Homes Week, which will be from April 27th to May 3rd.
