Farm Council’s Deeds And Objectives The Newberry County Coun cil of Farm Women has had a very successful year and we are proud of the things that have been accomplished. I am sure that you know that our organization is made up of thirteen clubs with a member ship of 325. We \frork togeth er to make our homes happier, more convenient, and more beautiful places in which to live. In doing this, we are preparing our children to meet the everyday problems which may arise. Last year, we helped with many worthwhile projects here in our own county: The clubs bought T.B. bonds. Helped with Cancer Drive. Gave pennies for Friendship. Helped with Community Hall. Put on a county wide pro gram for the enrichment of meal and grits. Had a booth at County Fair. Showered the County Hospi tal each month with articles needed. Visited the County Home each month and carried gifts to the people there. Now let us turn to the light er side of our work: We organized a county Coun cil chorus and that group ren dered special music at our own Gounty meetings and at our District meeting in Spartan burg. „ Each club had a picnic—all members of the family invited to these. Planned tours—places of in terest in our County and State visited. We were happy to have one of our members selected as one of the Master Home Makers this year—Mrs. T. L. Crooks of Pomaria. For the coming year we have for our goals: Help equip one of the opera ting rooms at the County Hos pital. „ . Help with Cancer Drive. Continue to help all worth while causes. Our interest centers in the Home. We work to make liv ing there easier, happier, and more wholesome. Our work together builds up our com munities and this makes our county a better place in which to live. The Counties in turn make our State and the States make the Nation. From the Farm the Nation arises and we want our nation to be built up on a foundation of peace and good will. By: Mrs. J. W. Abrams, Pres., County Coun cil of Farm Women.
