The value of our homes to us personally and the power they are in our national life have been much ji mind lately, for the government has asked us to piay an active part in publicizing its home adjustment program ru our clubs—I opened the coast to coast broadcast on Nov. , | for I believe firmly that the failure to maintain well kept, normal homes in this country could easily end our democratic life." “At the present there is very ap parent a drift back to the home We may say it is caused by necessity if we please, that having no money we have no place to go, but whatever the cause, if we are wise, we will see the habit of staying home Becomes stronger and stronger as our pocket- boolts become heavier and heavier. And I m glad also that not only are we staying more a: d more at home, but we are working more and mure ir. the home. I wish we might strike a happy medium on this work prob lem. 1 know we overdid it in the past, but we are certainly underdoing it—if there is such a word—now. And in planning our leisure pro grams, let s teach people to work as well as play, for take work out of the world ar.d it would be a sorry J place in which to live.” In closing her message in the De- 1 cember issue of the Clubwoman, of- j ficial orgat. of the General Federa tion of Women’s Clubs, Mrs. Poole ’ cays: “I shall be thinking of you on De- ’ cember 25.
