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.
