He was Chairman of the House Agriculture Com mittee during the administra tions of Governors Talmadge and Vandiver. Farm-City Week was origi nated by Kiwanis International to emphasize the interdepen dence between farm and city people, and to work for a better relationship between these groups. The Reynolds Kiwanis Club observes this week by holding the regular meeting in one of the communities in this area. Previous meetings have been held in the Crowell, Car- sonville, and Howard Commu nities. The Club feels that by meeting in these communities the members get to know the communities in the county and the meeting fosters a closer relationship between the mem bers of the club and the resi dents of the communities. Of The Nation’ he told of how homes are the backbone of any nation. Homemaking is the greatest business in the world and more men and women are engaged in it than in any other business in the world. The major business of home making is boy and girl making or man and woman making. The lives of the younger genera tion must be molded into men and women and this job is left for the wives and mothers of America. The six things that American homes must recapture in guid ing the young ones are 1) the strength of individualism, 2) the spirit of ’76, or patriotism, 3) hardness and discipline in our national life, 4) the courage of our fathers, 5) the Ameri can challenge and 6) our moral strength and faith in God.
