PAGE SIX Does Sumter's Home By MRS. R. D. McNEILL Demonstration Agent Pay The Sumter County Fair of 1924 has gone down in history as a past event. This was one of the mo.?: successful fairs the county has ever held, only one thing -auscd it to fall short of, all ev!>ectation— the different communis sas a whole, had not prepared for an ex hibit through the year. In other words, the fair association and the several county districts must cooper ate from year to year if we get an exhibit that is worthy. We wonder if the town appreci ates the fair. We wonder if the fair is really worth while. W? won der if the fair this year has brought any new inspiration er new ideas to our farmers to help them with next years crops. Some of the workers would love to hear expressions on these phases. I believe firmly that the mos'. at tractive feature of the fair was the Home Demonstration Work under the supervision of Miss Bonnie Parkman. I visited the Southeast ern fair in Atlanta, and others ’round about, this year; but I saw nothing that surpassed Miss Park man’s showing in our Sumter coun ty fair. The number of her pr>- ducts higher than some other fairs, and the exhibitiors represented every school district in the county, except two . As I gazed in admixing wonder on the many products represented in this department of canning, all so beautifully and scientifically pre served for winter, or famine 1 , or drought, I feel so grateful to our government for instituting the funds and office of the Home Dem onstrator. This worker means as much to our county and nation as did the rural free delivery. A person’s stomach is his chief asset. Many of our rural women who had never known before the value of a balnced ration for her family can now prepare much more wholesome food and further more she knows how to plant, ferti- LET US TELL YOU ABOUT RADIO You’ll Be Interested.

Mr. merchant, don’t get frightened, we wont quit buying “city groceries” but we will have money and knowledge tv, buy more. However, there should be more co operation between the city grocer and country housewife, wiich per haps will come about when the home demonstration agent has had time and opportunity to teach us how to prepare our surplus products for market. No doubt this w : 1 be a few years distant, or when the girls of today, become the heads of the household tomorrow. The girls canning display does credit both to their instruct r and themselves. We wish to see this wok go forward hv leaps and bounds; but our means ar a sc limi ted that we are greatly handi-cnp ped. Many rural girls who"should be in this work have no means to provide the necessary tars, cloth or other articles for the cause. We have often wished that some gener ous citizens of our town would catch a vision of this work and give a monthly donation to help pro mote it. A North Gec-gia county, less prominent than Sumter pays several dollars per month to this work. One citizen of the county site of that county offered $5 per month as a starter. Wil -re are our men of vision for Sumt- r county? One woman who is a member of our Home Demonstration Club in a local community has canned near ly 3000 containers of peaches and tomatoes, 4 H brand stuff. She has only five in her family, 3 small children, her husband and herself. What will she do with her surplus? Will her work be re munerated.? Is there a home mark et or must we buy tomatoes canned from Northern gardens. How many of our Times Record er readers know what this “4—lt” M'llMl IWtaXV... s- »» .

Face the music! It shows two very frightened boys, Arthur Meigan and Adam Ro tundo (left to right.) They were two of four boys who went “explor ing” with Ernest Schwer in the swamps of Long Island, N- Y. Young Schwer was missing for days. Later it developed he had been acci dentally shot and the frightened boys had hidden the body. Think of the suspense to loved ones caused by their attempted deception! In the end the truth came out. And, now look at their faces. Then ask yourself if it wouldn’t have been better to face the truth in the first place. brand product is? And the work that is behind it? It is just as substantial as a Heinz cr Libby pro duct, or even more so. In the girls, as well as the wo mens canning club work, the home garden is the foundation. We must study the plant, its culture, and just how to select the proper fruit and vegetable for a perfect pack to turn out a 4 H brand pro duct. No person is entitled to a 4 H brand label who has not had instructions on the work under a Home Demonstration Agent. This agent has her work mapped out un der government specifications and she must make a detailed report each year of the work accomplish ed by each woman or girl. No girl can take cooking or sewing or handi craft without the garden and can ning work. Many of our Womans Home Dem onstration Club have followed the girls work throughout this year and will have it to do next year. Every school board of trustees should make this work a part of their school curriculum. It is just as necessary as any branch of the literary work.

In the late Wrld War so many marvelou sfeats of surgery were performed that the layman has reached the stage where he has ceased to be surprsed at anything the surgeons do. In the base hos pitals of France noses—yes, even entire faces were rebuilt to order ---rotting bones were replaced by healthy ones from animals—even important organs were either re paired or replaced. The public will therefore accept without question the amazing op-> eration performed in Marshall Nei lan’s astounding new picture of newspaper life—“Go Ard Get It” —which the First National will re lease at Dudley’s Opera House Sat urday, matinee 2 p. m. Upon the outcome of this wonderful surgical exploit hinges one of tne most fas cinating and sensational plots that the motion picture world has pro duced in recent years. And while this is incidental to the main thread of the plot, which hinges on the romance and excitement of newspaper life, collectively it goes to make one of the most powerful storie s ever written around a great daily.
