INTEREST RATE LOWERED
TO MEMBERS LOAN ASSOCIATION
The interest rate to members of the
Rome Production Credit association was
reduced one-half of one per cent on all
money advanced beginning Feb. 24, B. T.
Adams, secretary-treasurer, announced
for the board of directors of the Rome
Production Credit association,
“This is made possible,” said Mr.
Adams, “by the continued ready sale of
federal intermediate credit bank deben
tures to the investing public bearing low
rates of interest and the favorable op
erating results of the federal interme
diate credit banks and the production
credit associations during 1938.” Mr.
Adams explained that the association
discounts the farmers notes with the
Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of
Columbia.
"The new rate will be four and one
half per cent, per year and as usual will
be charged only for the period which
the members actually have the money,”
continued Mr. Adams. “The reduction
also is effective in all the other produc
tion credit associations throughout the
country.
“This is the lowest rate at which pro
duction credit has been made available
and the lowest discount rate made by
the Federal Intermediate Credit Banks.
Based upon the present volume of busi
ness this interest reduction will result
in annual savings of approximately SBOO.-
000 to the 256,000 members of the 535
production credit associations in the
United States.”
The Rome Production Credit associa
tion, according to Mr. Adams, last year
did a business totaling $66,000.00.
“These loans,” he said, “are made for
agricultural purposes and repayments
are made at the time when the member
is best able to pay for the sale of crops
or livestock or other operations financed.
Some loans are made on the budget plan,
in which members get a commitment
from the association to advance to them
sums covering certain periods, thus
enabling them to be sure of sufficient
funds to carry them through their agri
cultural operations and yet not have to
pay interest on the entire amount for
the whole season. The budget plan pro
vides for advancing part of the entire
amount as needed.”

What Is Home Economics
Home Ec. is a field which has been
and probably always will be one of
discussion in educational circles. Home
Ec. is a science, a subject which is fun
damentally a response .to social and
economic needs. It is far more than a
subject, it is a field. Some people look
on it as cooking and sewing. They are
far wrong, that is only one small phase
of it. It eenters around the problem of
the home, people, community, etc. It in
cludes the study of food, shelter, cloth
ing, home, etc., from the standpoint of
buying, hygiene, economics, etc.; art;
study of relation of members of family to
each other, to society; how to buy ready
made clothes and dozens of things; whe
ther one ever intends to do some of these
things they should know how it is done
so will be able to have it done, if we
expect to be successful.
Relation of Home Economics to School
and Community.
From Study of condition of homes, di
vorces and other disturbances, factors in
the home. Home economics curriculum
has been changed and will continue to
fit the needs of the people. Realizing that
each department head in school are able
to teach their subjects better and more
effectively than any one. They can co
operate with each other to solve prob
lems that would be unsolved if there is
no co-operation between departments. Os
course, we all know that (1) health, (2)
fundamental processes, (3) worthy home
membership. (4) vocation, (5) civic ed
ucation, (6) worthy use of leisure. (7)
ethical character, are the objectives of
secondary education. The field of home
economics contributes to these objectives.
HOW? Realizing needs of education in
aspects of family living, home economics
has turned their attention toward “wor
thy home membership” (as specific aim
or first place in objectives) ; this, of
course, covers a great number of sub
jects and every phase of the home. etc.
The remaining six objectives are listed
as the field of home economics contrib
utes to them. (2) vocation, (3) proper
foods, clothing, home, posture), responsi
bility for health, (4) civic, moral, social
objectives should be shared with rest of
faculty and departments, (5) use of
leisure time should be made use all to
gether by home economies.
To Community?
Home economics is a failure if—it is
not taught to meet the community needs.
Therefore, home economics subject mat
ter is not standardized, because no two
towns are the same in living standards
and home ideals. Therefore, for home
economics to be worthwhile, we readily
see we have to determine needs of chil
dren, home, community before we plan
the content of curriculum. Therefore,
“we regard the function of home econom
ics to be the developments and promo
tion of standards of home living that
will be satisfying and developing to the
individual and profitable io society.”

RAYMUND DANIEL WILL SPEAK
SOUTH BROAD BAPTIST MARCH 12
BY W. B. J. FLOYD.
Raymund Daniel, one of the south’s
outstanding Baptist laymen, will make
his second annual visit to the South
Broad Baptist church, of Rome, Sunday,
March 12, at which time he will preach
at the regular morning worship service,
it is announced by the Rev. Gordon
Ezzell. Mr. Daniel, who is one of At
lanta’s and Decatur’s most active church
workers, filled the pulpit at the Rome
church little more than a year ago and
spoke to a large audience. Due to many
requests from church people over the
city he has been invited to speak here
again this year.
Mr. Daniel studied for the ministry
when in college, but later gave up the
work to enter the journalistic field and
was for twenty years a member of the
editorial staff of the Atlanta Journal
and several other newspapers and maga
ines. For the past several years he has
been editor of the Insurance Field, a
publication for southern insurance com
panies, and is executive secretary of the
Industrial Insurers’ conference, a na
tional organization of insurance com
panies. In addition to his journalistic
work, Mr. Daniel devotes much time to
his church and is teacher of one of the
largest men’s Bible classes in Atlanta.
Miss Atkinson to Sing.
An attractive musical program is be
ing arranged for the service when Mr.
Daniel is to speak. Jim Williams, Sr.,
and T. B. House, choir directors, hope
to have the largest choir possible pres
ent and several old-time hymns will be
sung. Miss Irene Atkinson, one of the
most popular vocal soloists in Rome,
will render a special number. Miss At
kinson will sing “Give of Your Best to
the Master.”
The pastor announces that Mr. Daniel
will speak on “With What God Gives,”
and invites visitors and members of his
church to hear the visiting speaker. |

puts it in a class by itself.
If the public could only comprehend
how these products are manufactured by
this well-known company, could see how
pure and health-giving they are, there
would not be a family in the vicinity
which would not be a patron of this con

The men in charge, of whom we know
of no more public-spirited citizens in this

workers in the interest of the territory

Georgia Takes Lead
In Pine Production
ATLANTA, March 1 (GPS).— During
1938 Georgia produced and sold 15,000,-
000 tree seedlings and took the lead
among southern states in seedling pro
duction, according to H. D. Story, Jr.,
assistant director of the state forestry
department in charge of nurseries and
forestation.
Os the 15,000,000 seedlings produced,
13,000.00 were grown at the Herty nur
sery near Albany, where only 8.00,000
had been grown previously, and 2,000
were grown at the new nursery near
Flowery Branch.
Additional lands have been acquired
in Dougherty county for an extension of
the Herty nursery, since the increased
supply does not yet meet the demand.

—The South’s Standard Newspaper—
NOW PRESENTS THE BEST PAPER
IN ITS HISTORY
If you are not now subscribing to The Atlanta Con
stitution, or have not seen a copy recently, you will be
surprised at the improvement that has been made,
both in the makeup of the paper and its contents.
The Constitption is presenting to its readers unsur
passed news service, both local and world-wide. Local
reports and correspondents gather the news in Atlan
ta and the state of Georgia, while national and world
affairs are reported by the Associated Press, the
United Press and the North American Newspaper As
sociation.
In The Constitution you will find an unsurpassed
sports page and numerous features for every member
of the family. On Sunday there are 16 pages of com
ics in color, a four-page roto section and dozens of fea
tures for all members of the family.
There is alsp Dr. Geo. Gallup’s Forum of Public
Opinion. These polls conducted by Dr. Gallup have
been astonishingly accurate, and it was one of the very
few that correctly predicted the outcome of the last
presidential election.
If you want to keep abreast of the times, you can
not be without The Constitution. See our dealer in
your town, and he will be glad to begin delivery to
you. If there is no dealer, or if you liive outside car*
rier district, write for mail rates,
It won’t be long now before the opti
mists of Summerville will be seen in their
gardens, anxiously looking for something
to come out of the ground.
