' another story—the rebirth of j mmmr.nrm, imwnmnim t ■mim— ^
social, spiritual iand civic cons-
! ciousness at Stag, Creek.
I Pfhg—waJeBaj1 "T
| About a year ago some twenty
1 families decided to set up a com-
1 munity organization to build a
better neighborhood Of course ^
j we have two churches, but we
j had no community center where
7 we could meet on social" 5Ccas-'
ions and serve refreslunents or,
( have dinners. Since were still j
jin the grip of a prolonged1
drouth, we were not financially i
j able to erect a building There- <
fore, when one, of our—former-
tTamllies. Mr. and Mrs., J. H.j
J Janes offered for our use a small)
; building used op their farm for 1
storing hay and feed, we grate-
fully accepted.
Everyone eagerly pitched in
and we immediately began work
cleaning out, repairing, and
equipping the building. We wir-
ed the building for electricity,
installed sheetrock wallboard in-
side, palpted and papered, and
put In new windows and doors:
The kitchen was equipped with
furniutre. cabinets, tables a sink,
and dishes and utensils donated
by member families. Small do-
nations of money enabled us to
install butane gas and other
facilities. ^
In order to pay for major im-
provements in and around the:
.community center, we rented to-■
gether a small trgft of land and ;
and planted it to peanuts. Thirty:
five dollars and fifty cents was
cleared from plums sold from
the rented l§nd, and $308.36 was
cleared from 10 acres of peanuts
after seed, fertilizer, and other j
cropping expenses were deducted. I
Each family had a share in the j
labor of preparing the land, |
planting, fertilizing, cultivating,
and harvesting.
After paying Higginbotham's
for sheetrock, paint and other
materials, $9800 was spent for
a piano and piano tuning. The
community wound up with
,$127*33 for further lmpuivemCTUS,
which will be done this next )-
contest year.
Our County Agricultural Agent
Wayde Frey and our County
Home Demonstration Agent, Dor-
othy Arthur helped us to set up
goals • based on Our community
need,% and we have found that
by working together and putting
forth just s IBHe effort; we are
able to accomplish many things
that we likely would never have
all got done as individuals work-
ing alone In our unorganized
way.
