TELLS OF COMMUNITY
WORK IN ISOLATED
MOUNTAIN SECTION

An interesting address dealing with
the welfare work carried on by the
Caney Creek Community Center in the
mountains of eastern Kentucky was
given Sunday night at the monthly
rally Of the Epworth League of the
Green Street Methodist Episcopal
church by Mrs. Jessie c. Thompson OF
Portland. assistant secretary to Gov
ernor Ralph o. Brewster. Mrs Thomp-
son first became executive secretary
of the Caney Creek Community Center
in 1922 and remained there for nine
months. In 1928 she returned and re-
NAMED six months and in 1924 was
engaged in the work until November
when she resigned to accept the po-
sition of assistnt secretary to the gov
ernor. coming here in January, 1925.
The Caney Creek Community Center
Is located at Pippapass in the noun
tains Of eastern Kentucky. The near
est railroad station is IL miles away
and in making the trip by Jolt wag-
on" which is indeed we'll named, it
takes five hours and it is necessary to
ford the creek 50 times. These jolt
wagons are usually drawn by two
mules. and the only communication
with the outside world Is by horse or
nor telephone at Caney Creek.
The valley is so narrow in most
places that there is only room for the
creek to flow through The mountain
people live in rude little log cabins
and shacks. many Of them with only
one room and some without windows,
Isolated from the rest Of the world.
The little public schools make pitt
full attempts at giving an education
and have generally had for a teacher
mountain man or woman, who often
did not have much more schooling
than the pupils they attempted to.
teach. Blackboards and text books
were almost unknown.
In. the midst of such conditions 10
years ago came Mrs. Alice LLOYD, a
New England woman, and started the
Caney Creek Community Center. In
these 10 years the work has grown I'M
til now there are fully rs buildings
including dormitories, cottages for
teachers and workers, saw mill, etc.
One hundred boys and girls from
that section of the mountain live there
receiving the help and training and ed
ucationa which the Center affords. The
teachers and workers are for the most
part college trained women and high
grade school IN maintained, including
all the grades and high school.
Caney Creek works all through the
mountains of that section through the
little public schools, sending out
proper teachers, establishing libra
ries, sending text books and other
MISUNDERSTANDING as friend ready
to help at any time.
Affiliated centers are also being es-
tablished in the different localities
there are now abous 20 of these.
This work is carried on entirely by
voluntary subscriptions from all over
the country, people from every state in
the Union sending their contributions
to help carry on this work.

Saxons--some of the best blood in the
country-but they haven't had
