“There has been a striking in

improved their homes in 1949,
“Figures obtained from the
home demenstration agents show
that 198,500 pieces of furniture
were refinished or repaired dur
ing the year,” Miss Dowdy con
tinued. “Around 6,800 families
painted their homes on the inside
and 8,000 new pieces of furniture
were made at home. Some of the
families carried on two or more
of these projects.”
Calling attention to the labor
saving equipment added to farm
homes, Miss Dowdy stated that
3,000 families in Georgia installed
electric water systems, sinks,
ywashing machines and electric
stoves. More than 2,000 families
made improvements in methods of
doing home laundry.

“A living room improvement
contest attracted 875 entries,”
Miss Dowdy said, “and resulted in
the installation of better lighting
in 8,000 homes, screening 6,800
homes and many other improve
ments.” More than 80 tours were
conducted in the various counties
to visit winning rooms in the con
test.
This phase of the home improve
ment program was sponsored by
Rich’s, Incorporated, of Atlanta.
This contest was requested again
by the State Home Demonstration
Council so it will be offered by
Rich’s again in 1950.
Farm women who are members
of home demonstration clubs and
4-H c¢lub girls were leaders in the
home improvement program in
hundreds of the communities
throughout Georgia. According to
Miss Dcwdy, “More than 11,000
Four-H club girls enrolled in pro
jects to help them become better
housewives. ”
“Better methods of work, im
proved equipment and short cuts
in time-saving are making their
contributions to improving farm
and home life in Georgia,” Miss
Dowdy concludes,
