Resolutions On Death
Of Miss Annie
Lou Morgan
We. the members of the Re
hoboth H. D. Club, are deeply
grieved because of the passing of
a beloved member—Miss Annie Lou
Morgan. She had been in bad
health for many months, and wc
love to think of her now as being
free from pain and suffering. She
was always ready to take part in the
work of her church and com
munity. This was a labor of love
and now she has gone to be witii
her Savior whom it was her de
light to serve.
Whereas, it has pleased our
Heavenly Father to remove from
us our beloved member;
Resolved, 1st. That we bow in
humble submission to the will of
our Heavenly Father who doeth all
things well.
2nd. That we have lost a good,
faithful and devoted member of
our H. D. Club.
3rd. That her presence, gentle

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

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.
