tion agent, so arranging her itinerary
as to be able to givq to this commu-
nity all of. Thursday, the forenoon to
the girls, 4-H club and the afternoon
to thfj WHD club it can be said that
Farm Extension! activities received
an added impetus in the Noonday
community—*at least in so fjw^s
such activities relate to the rural woT
men and girls.
The Noonday Home demonstration
club had a record breaking attend-
ance* Thursday afternoon with 57 wo-
men present and six new members en-
rolled. According to Mrs. Dorris Spi-
vey, the club has been on the increase
since first of year in both member-
ship and interest. Twelve new mem-
bers have been enrolled since Janu-
ary and several visitors attend each
meeting.
During the business meeting the
club voted to assist the Rural Re-
habilitation families of their Commu-
nity with problems in gardens, food
preservation, sanitation and sewing,
Different club members agreed to
“adbpt” certain families who lived
nearest their homes. The finance com-
mittee reported that a play would be
sponsored by' the club to raise funds
for the club treasury.
A short program on '‘Being Thoug-
htful” was rendered by members of
the program committee. Several wo-
men read short poems or gave a
thought on helping others.
Miss Velma Heald, the home dem-
onstration agent, taught the women
how to use their plain foundation
pattern to design and cut pajama
patterns, skirt patterns* and different
tvpes of sleeve patterns, as the Bell
sleeve. Dolman, leg-o-mutton, Bishop
and Raglan sleeve. Several women
blocked and cut the sleeve and paja-
ma patterns using their individual
foundation pattern.
By the use of a miniature clothes
closet, shoe rack, hat rack and belt
rack. Miss Heald instructed the wom-
en how to build and arrange an ade-
quate storage space for each member
of the* family.
The women showed much interest
in storage space. Thev drew patterns
for the shoe rack, hat rack and belt
racks and plan to add these conven-
iences to their clothes closets. Women

Washington, D. C. May 22—That
the committee revision of the Wheeh
er Rayburn bill has not materially al-
tered it and that the purpose of the
revised bill is the same as of the or-
iginal measure-^-not to regulate but
to destroy—was charged by Philip H.
Gadsden, chairman of the Committee
of Public Utility executives, in a
statement just issued.
“Despite misleading assurances
that the ball would be modified,” he
said, “it retains all the destructive
features of the original draft and, if
enacted, will either dissolve or dis-
member practically all ptility holding
companies and will mean the socializa-
tion of all operating companies.”
Charging that the committee charg-
es are merely an attempt tb dress a
wolf in sheep’s clothing, he charac-
terized the present bill as “unsound
in substance, punitive in spirit and
destructive in its effects.” Its provis-
ions, he said, would make rubber
stamps of the management of operat-
ing companies and largely nullify the
powers of local and state authorities
over them. «
In the face of the opposition of prac-'
tically every major business organi-
zation in the United States, of the
Nation’s savings banks, of State util-
ity commissions and of more than a
million investors, sponsors of the bill,
llf*l said, have completely ignored all
protests. Utility Investors and em-
ployes and also local business men
dealing with operating companies
must face the fact that socialization
of the utility industry, which is the
real purnose behind the bill, will di-
rectly affect their own lives, he de-
clared, for the Rayburn-Wheeler bill
is only another important step in the
campaign that government ownership
advocates have been carrying on for
years.
“Not one of the destructive fea-
tures of this bill is necessary to pre-
vent the abuses charged against hold-
ing companies,” sgid Mr. Gadsden in
conclusion. “Our committee has sub-
mitted to the House and Senate com-
mittees specific proposals for regula-
tion that would completely prevent
recurrence of such abuses. No criti-
City Manager Graeser tells me
about a vertain fish or minnow that
will destroy more mosquito larvae
than apy other known agency. It is
found 'in all our creeks and lakes
and g6es under the name' ( think he
said) of gambosia. It’s a short, stubby
potbellied minnow and has peculiar
characteristic. It does not lay eggs
but bears its young ready to swim.
Mr. Graeser says a few of these put
in the fish ponds around town will el-
iminate all danger of mosquitoes from
this source. He did not tell me how
to ensnare these pot-bellied minnow's
but presume they can be seined out
of the creeks, ’m fir ’em.
And City Manager Graeser truly
says, the fight against the mosquito
must enlist our entire citizenship. The
city can attend to the public breeding
places but unless the people in the
homes exercise vigilance the city’s ef-
forts will come to naught. One tin can
in a back yard can generate mosquit-
oes by the thousands.—Homer Pi’ice

“When a group of women have real
interest in their work the weather
conditions do not interfere with their
activities,” says Joy B. Sinyard, col-
ored county home demonstration
agent. This was proven Saturday,
rainy though the day was, when rep-
resentatives from 10 colored home
demonstration clubs attended th.e
monthly meeting of the County Coun-
cil of Home Demonstration Clubs fob
colored women. New Hopel?L..r£presen-
tatives were unable to attend the
council meeting, but they sent their
club representation fees. The clubs
lie prevented at the meeting were:
Antioch, Mt. Olive Pine Springs,
Spring Oreek, Jackson, Jamestown,
Galilee. Swan, Waters Bluff and
Shadv Grove.
Matters to which tbe Council gave
attention were: Annual Short Course
plans; East Texas Fair plans, and the
Bell Canning contest. The colored wo-
men are anxious to learn all they can
not only in their home practices but
also at the coming summer short
courscTT-and that knowledge they de-
sire to give to their neighbors in a
practical way. Colored people have
usually had exhibits at tho East Tex-
as Fair—but this year they are plan-
ning t omake their best and most at-
tractive exhibit. They entertain this
ambition not only because of The in-
spiring values to themselves, which
a great exhibit will provide, but they
also desire to show to their white
friends and neighbors that Farm Ex-
tension work has its useful place in
the life of the colored people.
An enthusiastic member of Mt. Ol-
ive WHD club savs “I can’t begin to
tell you how much ourl County Home
Demonstration agent moans t.o thf5
women and (he 4-H club girls of Mt.
Olive. We -are learning to take old
discarded things and make them into
useful articles. As a result of one
demonstration making luncheon sets
given by our agent, the club girls
have completed 10 sets.
How she is making her garden sup-
ply her pantry and bring in some cash
is told by another club member, Mrs.
Hopper. “Mv garden and pantry dem-
onstration has cut, our food bill at
the store already.,” says this club
demonstrator. “My sales of peas,
beans, spinach and squaph this season
have brought me $18.0(1; and by pro-
(TurTng mor«| vegetables for borne use,
I have only flour, meal aiid sugar”to
buy.”__ _;
