the lowly attic has Been turned
into a delightful livable and
healthful playroom and nursery
by a lining Of celotex insulating
lumber, which not only prevents
the summer heat from beating in
through the roof, but conserves
fuel by keeping the furnace heat
from leaking out in winter. The
room has been further made en-
joyable for the kiddies by deco
rative treatment to which celotex
lends itself 50 readily. The
sound-deadening qualities of the
material give a touch of rest
fitness, because the noise Of the
children is confined within their
own room. In the cellar the Girl
Scouts have their vegetable stor-
age room, constructed of the
same material, which keeps this
room cool in summer for perish
able foods, and prevents their
freezing in winter.
But this is only one phase of
the demonstration work, accord

other fellow up The handspring
is sometimes rusty, and big key is
required for some of us. Having
been run down for some time, the
works are likely to be in poor shape.
A little oil is needed here and
there.
The campaign is the key and the
good things done during the year as
we'll as things in prospect are the oil
Now it's possible to ruin a watch
by putting on too much oil, especi-
ally that oil which relates to things
that are yet to be done. Some one
said that hell is paved with good in
tentions. A more dignified state
ment covering the same point is this,
by their works we shall know
them, Lets use our accomplish
ments as the chief argument. OF
course we have plans, many plans
for the future, but let's talk con-
servatively about them.
Real Need For Organization
Now the extension service has a
very keen interest in these cam
paigns. In all of our rural work
we are trying to leave forever be-
hind us the idea that we do not need
rural organizations. The great
tasks of the future, whatever or
whenever they may be, are to be ac-
complished through effective organ
ized effort and i'm no other way. No
extension project can be developed
except through definite groups of
people.
These groups, too, must be tied
together to make the work county
wide or statewide. Furthermore,
extension service wishes to work
through existing groups. 1t has no
desire to go out and organize new
groups if existing ones can and will
function. This is a principle which
all organizations should recognize.
New Problems Will Come
AS time goes on, rural communi-
ties will develop projects not now
thought of. Leaders will be asked
to take responsibility for them.
Some leaders will be in charge of
several lines of work. To be sue
cessful they must have adequately
organized communities back of
them Extension service hopes to be
represented in each and every COM
munity. 1t needs strong leaders for
the best development of it's program.
Where there are strong organiza-
tions, there are strong leaders. To
conserve is likewise true.
Our interest in these farm bureau
campaigns is, therefore, direct and
unmistakable. County extension
agents have always given freely of
their time in promoting similar
campaigns. They will continue to

4 BEAUTIFUL FAIR GROUND

The committee seems to be work.
ing with the idea that one of the
best investments fair can make is
in Frightening things up. In addition
to the improvements mentioned, in
this paper this week, the committee
has treated the outside track fence
with two coats of white paint; the
inside track fence together with the
wooden fence at the two main en-
frances have been polished and
made whiter than snow, with gov
ernment White-Wash as clear as
crystal or the water gurgling from
the rocks on the mountain side, a
symbol of purity.
Two new wells located by the
county health officer and passed by
the state board of health and pro-
vided with concrete tops, have been
driven. Don't be afraid to drink
plenty of water-none better on any
fair ground in Ohio. Nice clean,
green sward everywhere. Every foot
of the ground is covered with
thick, tough blue grass sod. With
such a ground as this, the public
will come even though it rains, for
they know they will not get stuck IN
the mud, and they can't do much at
home anyway. Don't miss seeing
this beautiful fair ground.

do so as long as farm bureau menu
bers give proper emphasis to educa-
tional work
i Leaders of no organization should
expect the agents to assume leading
responsibility in membership work,
but in so far as that organization
concerns itself with the educational
program which touches rural inter-
ests in the counties, the agents will
always stand ready to give appro-
pirate information and service in
keeping that organization strong.
1t is therefore, the sincere wish
and hope of the extension service
that campaigns planned this sum-
mer and fall will prove most sue
cessful. Ohio must maintain their
reputation for strong, forward-look-
ing organizations working harmon
iously together towards a we'll
rounded rural program.
