HALL 'In our homes we are shaping the lives and training the thoughts Of th people who will compose tomorrow's world. Aside from our akills of homemaking, let as so grow in our concepts of world affairs that we may give to our children the essence of living to gether in a changing world This -- quotation from Mrs; Malcolm Byrnes, president. National Home Demonstration Council, Ethel, ' La., ,is motivating the local observance of National Home Demonstration Week, May .1--7 and clarifies the chosen theme, 'Today's Home Builds Tomorrow's World." Jenniey J; Poulsen, home 'dem onstration agent for Utah County and Josie S. Vincent, assistant look back over progress made during the year over the. county in the. various branches of the work of their office and are outlining a vigorous continuing pro gram of aid to area residents in the coming months. In quoting M. L. Wilson, former , director of extension work, Mrs. Poulson said, 'The home holds a unique responsibility for transferring our pattern of culture to me citizens of tomorrow. It is in the home that children gain their first concept of democracy, and it Is there that they are inspired to greater knowledge and accomplishments. By strengthen- , ing the program of education for homemakers, the Extension Service can contribute significantly to a more responsible citizenry in the future." In explaining the work of the home demonstration agent, Mrs. Vincent stated that they represent the Utah State Agricultural College, the U. S.I Department of Ag riculture, and the Board of County Commissioners in their cooperative programs of education for better living. Information is given to homemakers in the county by' leaders' training schools, meetings and demonstrations, ra- idio, news articles,! letters, home visits, bulletins, exhibits, tours, and telephone calls. They cooper-- , ate with Civic, religious, professional, social, educational land farm groups in promoting programs and projects for better family living resulting in improved community life. During the last year, the home demonstration agents visited 501 homes, some 769 people called at the office for information and 1,958 recived help in homemaking problems through? telephone calls, and 12,589 bulletins on different uomemajung suujecus wcie; uis- tributed to homemakers and :1 club members.
