there was special mention of the

RURAL HOUSING SURVEY IN
MARYLAND

A Civil Works project employing
a number of women, in which Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt has expressed
a special interest, is rural housing
survey now under way in Maryland
The survey will be completed by

expected the enumerators will have
assembled data on between 1000
and 5000 farm houses of three
Maryland counties in which the
work is being conferred to keep with
in the funds allocated by the gov
eminent.
The project in this state is under
the direction of the Bureau of Home
economies, Department of Agricul-
lure, College Park.
The information gathered will
form the basis for estimating the
potential needs in rural homes in
he state for lumber, paint, roofing,
cement and household equipment.
Data gathered in Maryland will
De sent to Washington to be assem-
Dled with similar reports from 500
counties scattered throughout the
country. 1t was explained that this
ten per cent of the counties would

National leaders hope that such a
study will lay a foundation for
working out system whereby un-
employed people can be given real

The survey is also revealing ac-
tual living conditions of the rural
home and may form the basis for
the establishment of health and
nursery schools in rural sections, of
library projects or educational i'm
provements.
Because of her keen interest and
participation in all activities for the

and children, Mrs. Roosevelt is keep
