Notes for Week Ending Dec. 20.

This week has been big one for the
Orange County Farm bureau Three
communities in different parts Of the
county held community and commu-
nifty committee meetings to formulate
programs of work to be done by the
farm bureau in the respective comnu-
mites and chose their own leaders for
each project in the program In spite
of the intense cold the meetings were
held and a good deal of interest was
aroused J. f. Carrigan of the state
extension service office was present at
all the meetings and explained the com
munity plan of local farm bureau or
ganization, using chart of the pro
gram of another community in the
state
The first community to get together
was West Topsham on Wednesday
night. This was meeting of the com
munity as a whole After talk by
Mr. Carrigan, a blackboard was hung
up and the program made by sugges-
tons by the people as to the commu
nity's need and desires Following is

The programs as made by each Of the
/ communities contain fundamental com
munity problems and show what the
communities themselves want rather
\ than what the county agents think
they ought to have The agents are
very much encouraged with the results
Of the week and feel that in these
communities at least there has been
created a detiniteness> of work which
never before existed The project lead
ers are interested and want to begin
| plans at once II is hoped that other
communities will catch the spirit and
express a desire for similar programs.
