Asked To Aid

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Nation-
wide celebration of Better Homes

t74fions and of the public and press in
. moxement to strengthen and improve
tie home
Meetings and demonstrations will be
8eld during the week in more than a
thousand cities, towns and rural COM
munities to educate the American peo-
pie as to the type of homes which
should be built and the manner in
Which they should be equipped.
Source OF Well-Being
The American home is the source
81 our national well-being," the presi-
dent said. '1n it our high traditions of
service and integrity are fostered From
The true home there energies respect
Tor the rights of others, and the habit
OF co-operating for worthy ends.
Through sharing its common enterprises
and common sacrifices, the child de-
xelops that sturdiness of character
whcih distinguishes the manhood and
womanhood of our land.
In recent years, the remarkable de-
<lopment of our material. resources. of
human invention and of human oppor-
tHnity. have turned the attention of
many from the home to other fields of
Nngrpssing interest. 1t has been neces-
s&ry. to recall public attention to the
home lest. its influence and its finer
values be impaired.
Movement Is Pleasing
Il have therefore been well pleased
I'd note the founding of the movement,
for better homes in America under the
inspiring leadership of Mrs. William
Brown Meloney and have been happy
70 serve as chairman of les advisory
council. The reorganization and program
of the movement have followed with
deep interest, realizing the significance
10 the nation of widespread movement
to strengthen and improve the home.
Thus, at the opening of better homes
week. am glad to call attention to
the demonstration planned with such
loyalty and disenterested zeal by the
better homes committees of hundreds
Of American cities and villages, and
30 commend as national service the
desperation of the women's clubs, civic
and commercial associations and of the
pulpit and the press in this significant
undertaking. Such initiative, enterprise
and devotion should profoundly influ-
ence the home lifeof America, and
SHOULD make firm the high ideals which
characterize our nation
