Fludc ' -T' ' '" ' / ^ '1 There are 44 Negro families on the project at Orangeburg and 25 on the Tiverton ^project in Sum ter county. All of these families are taught better practices in home making by Miss Fludd. . The main object of the program is to raise the standards of living - among low income rural families We can truly say that this h being done on the above named projects. When the project started in 1938 a accurate check was made on each family. This was vv uvvviillilic tuc ilt'CUS U1 Ult families, in order that the work to be done could be centered around these particular needs. When the families of Orangeburg Farms Project moved on theii units in 1938 there were only G2 quarts of canned l'ood among tin entire 44 families. At -the--end oJ the canning season these samt families yielded an average of 301 quarts per family. The year 1939 found thee fam ilies advancing on the program mors and more. At the end ol that year 407 quarts were cannC/ per family. " I Each family occupies a new ] home with all modern outhouses They are "given instruction in the proper care of their homes and surroundings. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of having a good year-round garden.'' In fact, each family is required to grow and produce enough food to adequately take care of the members of the household. Exterior and Interior decoration are given proper consideration. The supervisor?has_done an excellent job in helping the families ?to" beautify" ~ their homes. This has been done by the use of native shrubbery for foundation planting and blooming perennials. Each and every home on the project has been beautified and all lawns grassed. Visitors come from far and near to see how these homes were transformed into places of beam ty. With the soundness of the Horn* Management program, under the efficient leadership of Miss Fludd, Orangeburg Farms project i s bound to be onel of the leading prbjects in the region. AT HOME Mr. Geo. H. Hampton, publisher of the Palmetto Leader, arrived home last Monday morning from New York City, where he uhderwent an operation.
