First, we must keep the famiJj healthy by providing the rigbJ, foods daily, then keep the rules of health. Money problems are of tex. the bone of contention, still manj’ of these are solved if the entire* family knows and understands tbi- financial situation. Each memb£ir of the family has a right to kno* the iundamental facts. The entire- family should take part in recrea tion in the heme. Laughter is th»- best aid to digestion; have happy, events told at the table. There are- many popular games that can be made at home, such as bingo, jif. saw puzzles, checkers, anagrams,, heart and bug dice. These can be made without cost. Music an# singing is fine in the home. Read ing aloud is excellent also. Famil# pleasures, such as hikes and trip* by car causes us to know and love ihe beauties of nature more. Observe birthdays and annivers aries in the home. For rainy day* make games, scrap books and dt- hand-work. “The family that play* together stays together.” Have community recreation for all. Children should have a boi, drawer or shelves for their very owx to keep their toys and other coi- lections. Begin teaching theiv while young to keep their clothei and toys in their place. A happy family depends on the considera tion of each other. Know whai the family can afford and keep i* its limit. / The next meeting will be wiflfc Misses Eva and Alma Young. After playing games, Mrs. Lonr served ice cream and waffers. Vice-President. GREENWOOD, S. C.
