HOMEMAKING DEPT.
HIGHLIGHTS
By Summerville School Staff
Each girl in the department
plans activities of various home
experiences to meet their needs
and to carry over what they
learn in class into home living.
This improves family relation
ship and strengthens over fam
ily control program of teaching.
This is known as the home-proj

1953 Look for My Living Room
By Cathryne Phillips
I chose as my home project re
decorating the living room. The
reason I chose this project was
because of the need for a change
in appearance and I thought it
a worth-while experience for my
family and I.
I began by taking an inventory
of the furniture and furnishings
in our rooms. My mother and I
then decided on the price we
would use. We decided to use the
rug, which had a huge back
ground with designs of blending
rose, yellow and green, from this
we chose our color scheme. For
our wall, we chose the rose from
the rug. We then painted the
walls. The couch and chair
needed a new “dress” too so we
covered them. For this we chose
a tweedy-green fabric (dark
tenses). The plat form rocker
was covered in a chartreuse fab
ric. For our drapes we chose a
material with an off white back
ground picking the colors from
the rug and small golden seeks.
We bought a green lamp shade
for our floor lamp, a new table
lamp with white glade soft green
base, a new coffee table, book
cases and bulbs. The room has
a new inviting, restful look.
It was very interesting and
educational experience for me
and the results most satisfac
tory.

I a resident of Rome, Ga.

best musical organization in the
world. Before he became asso
ciated with the big name bands
I he did theatrical music.
WE FOCUS THE
SPOTLIGHT ON:
By Summerville School Staff
A tenth grade home-making
student and her home projects:
Betty Ann Copeland has com
pleted several very worth while
and interesting home projects
this year. For her first home
project she chose it in the field
of home improvement. She de
cided to begin this project that
she would refinish the woodwork
on a sofa in their den. Also re
finish a small table and cabinet
style radio. Since this turned out
very successful, she upholstered
two chairs that were also in their
den. These chairs certainly add
ed color and delight to the
room. This was not only a
worth while experience for
Betty Ann. but it was very in
expensive. It cost her only about
a third as much as it would have
cost if she had had it done. This
certainly satisfied Betty Ann as
well as her family. Since they
have recently moved into a new
home this was a very practical
home project.
Betty Ann also completed proj
ects in cooking, sew’ing, and
baby-sitting. She enjoys these
projects very much.
Her home Economics teacher
is Miss Yvonne McCullough. She
is doing a wonderful job with her
Ist and 2nd year students.

FARM BUREAU
NEWS COLUMN
’ Seven Georgia farmers, all of I
whom are local County Farm
Bureau leaders, will be in Wash
ington, D. C. on March 23, 24,
and 25. The farmers will visit the
Nation’s Capitol, see the Depart
ment of Agriculture in action,
meet with U.S.D.A. Secretary
■ Ezra Taft Benson, and visit the
Washington AFBF office, and
hold conference with Georgia’s
. Congressional delegation.
The following counties will
send delegates: Seminole, Col
quitt, Jenkins, Bulloch, Carroll.
Evans, and Peach. All expenses
will be paid jointly by the Geor- j
gia and American Farm Bureau
Federations.
A Georgia delegation, headed
by H. L. Wingate, will be in Chi-;
cago April 1,2, and 3 to argue "
before the American Farm Bu- ,
reau Federation Board for a'
' place on the agenda at the Na
tional Convention in December
to debate continued 90% sup-1
■ ports. Other southern state dele- j
gates will join the Georgia dele-1
gation in this fight.
1 Farmers will find it interesting ,
■ to note that Senator Aiken. Re-
I publican, Vermont, last week |
made headlines when he said
that Congress probably will re
duce the amount of money paid i
1 to farmers for soil conservation..
Georgia farmers, through Farm I
Bureau, have voted to maintain I
the present ACP Program.
The Georgia Farm Bureau I
Board, at the last Board meet-!
ing, voted to continue the fight
for ACP but if the fight develops
into a losing battle that position j
helpers, members of the Senior
Scouts.
We would be very happy to
have other troop members and
leaders to visit with us at any
time.
The purpose of the Girl Scout
‘ movement is “to help girls re
[ alize the ideals of womanhood as
i preparation for their responsi
bilities in the home and as ac
. tlve citizens in the community
and the world." To accomplish
' this purpose the Girl Scout or
। ganizatlon provides a lelsure
‘ time program for girls from
; seven through seventeen. We are
sure Girl Scouting will help her
j to develop attitudes which will
, guide her as she grows into a
wholesome helpful adult.

In Memory
■ In memory of our loving daddy
, and husband, Mr. Cliff Shiver,
) who passed away three years ago,
I March 13, 1950,
■ We live and love, die and part
I and our hearts are lonely and
s blue.
1 Many tears have been shed since
you left us.
1 But It was God’s will to take you,
f in our memory you will live
t forever.
t And we all hope and pray that
• we will meet again along the
; golden way.
r Mrs. Cliff Shiver and
t children
will be “to fight for total elimi
nation.” A cut to $100,000,000 —as
some quarters propose—would be
sufficient for administration but
would leave practically no funds
for the farmer.
An Advisory Committee, apv
pointed by the Secretary of Ag
riculture to consider a cotton
seed program for 1952, has rec
ommended a farm loan and pur
chase program at 90% of parity.
The Secretary has not an
nounced acceptance or rejection
of this recommendation. A sup
port price for cottonseed is op
tional with the Secretary of Ag
riculture and he may set the
support level at any point from
1 to 90% of parity.

Civilian hospitals in this coun

year the Red Cross collected
1,681,500 pints of blood for com

blood for half the hospitals in
the United States. In addition to
this program, wholly financed by
the Red Cross, the organization
serves as the agency for procur

forces and to build up a plasma
