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.
