agement” is most important must
not be forgotten. The citizens of
our State and nation are influenced
mainly by the homes in which
they are reared.
Some problems in “Home Man
agement” are as follows:
1. Raising food at home.
2. Using fuql from the farm.
3. Using home service.
4. Spending money for: - .
a. Food. ,
b. Clothing. (
c. Transportation.
d. Schdol supplies.
e. Doctor’s and dentist’s bill.
f. Insurance.

Another incident claims atten
tion—Bethany community, on Sep
tember 23, enjoyed a “Recreation
Party” at the school house. The
spirit of each one was good as he
played the numerous games that
were conducted by Mrs. Stallworth.
The moon was not shining, but a
bonfire and lanterns gave suffi
cient light for the party to be an
“out-of-door one.” Time slipped
upon us so at 11:30 we bid our
friends and guests farewell by sing
ing “Good night Ladies.”

In September, 1932, the Woman’s
Missionary Society of Plum Branch
Methodist Church met at the home
of Mrs. Lillie C. Langley.
Mrs. E. C. Rice, president, pre-'
sided over the meeting and busi
ness was dispatched with rapidity.
After a song and the devotional,
led by Mrs. E. L. Langley, the roll
was called and minutes read and
approved.
Quarterly reports of the various
officers and" committees were very
encouraging. Probably the most
outstanding thing accomplished
during the quarter was the organ
ization of the Children’s Division.
This work has been the cause of
much interest and prayer among
the members of the adult society
for some time
Plans were made to send a box of
supplies to Wesley House the fol
lowing week.
Interesting talks on “China’s
Forward Movement” were followed
by a lovely vocal solo presented by
Mrs. C. E. Langley.
