The meeting opened with scrip ture reading by the president; the Lord’s Prayer prayed in unison; song, “Cornin’ Thro’ The Rye.” After the business of the club the meeting was turned over to Miss Harvey. First she gave the agricultural outlook for 1936. This talk was demonstrated by charts which made it more impressive. Then she gave the month’s les son, Meat for Food, pointing out the need for meat in the diet, the danger of eating too much meat, of eating too little, the selection of cuts of meat, the various ways of cooking and serving meats, also discussed meat substitutes—eggs, fowl, fish, cheese, etc. Miss Harvey gave the club “chairwomen” ques- tionaires which will make it easier for them to get the information necessary for their reports.

Her many South Carolina where so many as a supervised lending agency known as the resettlement admin istration. Supervision from farm and home experts is very necessary from a business as well as a humanitarian standpoint; for many rural families as sharecroppers and day laborers have yearly fallen over the cliff. An effort is made to secure better lard fer the rehabilitation farmer and to teach him better use of it. The resettlement administration aims at 'the rehabilitation of the home as well as the farm. It, there fore, has a division of home man agement. Women trained in home economics and known as home supervisors work out with the wife of the rehabilitation family a live- at-home plan. The home supervisor requires each family to plant a garden sufficient to furnish fresh vegetables for table use and a sup ply for canning and drying. She encourages the family to raise Chickens and pigs and to buy a milk cow as soon as the farm loan will permit the purchase. The home supervisor gives the wife simple lessons in nutrition, using the ma terial of the extension department and interpreting it for her. She not only tells the wife what kinds o: foods she needs to keep her family healthy but requires her to pro duce it. Co-operation on the part of the rehabilitation wife is not voluntary. When the loan is made to the family, the wife signs the paper along with her husband and agrees to cooperate in home man agement plans. This agreement is good business and is part of the security of the loan. In the presen condition of Southern agriculture a family which has to buy every thing it eats has no chance to re pay its loans. There is a humanitarian side as Modoc IN cws friends are glad to welcome her home. Mrs. D. W. Hailing is improving slowly from her recent illness, but is not able to get out yet. Mr. and Mrs. Pinson and Mrs. W. T. Mauldin and children of Laurens visited Mrs. Myrtle Maul din Sabbath afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Lawton and family were Mt. Carmel visitors Sabbath afternoon. X Nutrition Problems And Programs (Reprinted By Courtesy of The State—March 1.) This is one of several articles written by representatives of statewide organizations and groups which are dealing direct ly with nutritional problems. The nutrition section of the South Carolina Home Economics As sociation sponsors the series. There is an old story of a com munity which for a long time made donations to take travelers who fell over a steep cliff within its borders. Finally a far sighted citizen suggested that it would be a wiser use of funds to build a barrier around the cliff. The resettlement administration in its several branches is caring for those who have fallen over the cliff and aiding other agencies such as the extention, the soil con servation, vocational education, rural electrification and farm cred it administration to build the bar rier around the cliff. To farm families who have already fallen over the cliff, families who have no collateral with which to secure loans from other agencies, the rural resettlement makes character foods may be so abundantly raised a large number of persons suffer from malnutrition and diseases caused from unbalanced diet. Pel lagra is very prevalent among farm families. A home supervisor thus described the change wrought in one year in a farm family who accepted re habilitation. “When I made my first visit to this family after they had applied for a rehabilitation loan I found the family at dinner. The mea consisted of baked sweet potatoes and pale looking biscuits made of cheap flour, lard and water. On this fare the family, consisting of little children, had dined three times a day all winter. The childrer did not know what it meant to have a glass of milk or an egg—farm children. I dropped in at mealtime last week. The table was laden with food. They had pork, eggs vegetables, milk and brown bis cuits made from their own wheat The pantry shelves are stockec with canned tomatoes, beans, peas soup mixture and canned beef, a surplus calf having been canned for the family by the home agent. There are chickens on the yard, a good cow, and a brood sow in thi barnyard. A person who had not seen the children since last white' would not recognize their round glowing faces.” There is no danger of this family falling over the cliff again. • Tht resettlement has helped them bulk their own barrier in a live-at-home program, the value of which they now fully appreciate.
