Better Homes Campaign April 30- May 6, 1939 Miss Matilda Bell, County Home Demonstration Agent, has been appointed to head a committee of local citizens for the purpose of planning a Better Homes Cam paign in McCormick County. This appointment was made from the National Office of Better Homes * n A J2 r ^' e ^i r ’• ^, - at Purdue University, whicll sponsors each year a nation-wide campaign to stimu late interest in • better housing conditions. The primary purpose of the Better Homes Campaign is educa tion and the program provides a medium of organized effort in non-commercial activities which are related to home and commu nity betterment. By means of several thousand Better Homes Committees the organization seeks to help communities and their families-to make their homes more fitted for the art of living apd through them disseminates infor mation on home ownership, home finance, house design, construc tion, equipment, remodeling and reconditioning, home furnishing, home management, family rela tionships and other allied subjects.. In the past, many civic and social organizations have volun tarily assisted the Better Homes Committees with their housing programs. * Parent-Teacher organ izations, Home Economics .Asso ciations, Home Demonstration Clubs, Chambers of Commerce^ Women’s Clubs, Men’s Clubs and other similar groups have con tributed to the public good out of their own experience and skill in the field of housing. Such organ ized effort, put forth in a collec tive wav. has produced construc tive results in Better Homes Cam paigns since 1922. In last year’s campaign 2,605,- 863 people in 7,539 communities, participated in projects of demon stration houses. Better Homes tours, Home Information Centers, lecture programs, radio broad casts, exhibits, home, yard and garden improvement projects, food, clothing, essay and poster contests and community clean-up camnatens. Such extensive partici pation has lifted the sense of pub lic and individual responsibility in the community and has done much to make communities hous ing conscious. Better Homes Week will occur this year from April 30th to May* 6th. The Better Homes Commit tee for McCormick County is plan ning a practical observance of the week and will sponsor educational programs in keeping with the pur poses of the organization.
