The Extension workers are busy
making out Annual Reports The
Home Agent is checking on the homes
that have electricity for the first time
this year, also on the number of cleo
trical appliances installed. Our aim
is to have running water at least in
every homo wheTe there is electricity
and in as many other homes as pos
sible. Miss Pauline Gordon, House
furnishing specialist of State college
Extension Service recently said that
many a man who would be willing to
spend $4,000 or more on his Wlfe's
funeral wouldn't think of spending
that much on a home water system
to prolong her life. She is wondering
if some men do not think more OF
their wives dead than alive. She says
further that you won't have to carry
water after you are dead. We do not
believe this applies to Vance county
from the number of people who are
putting run ming water into their
homes but we do want every one to
know that you can install simple
water system for as little as $4,000.
Directions for installing inexpensive,
hand-pump water systems in farm
homes of North Carolina have been
published recently ty the State Col
lege Extension Service.
The circular, prepared by David 5.
Weaver agricultural engineer, in
cludes illustrations designed to make
the directions as clear and as simple
as possible. This is extension folder
SO. entitled "a Complete Hand-Pow-
err Water System for the Farm Home. .
Anyone in the state can secure it free.
Now you see you can have running
water in your home whether you have
electricity or not. No home is too re-
mote to have this system installed.

ADVICE TO PARENTS. "BUY IT,

The Citizen feels sure that it is rem
dering distinct service to all parents of
this county when it urges them, if they
have not already done so, to send ten cents
to the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department
of Labor, Washington, D. c. for copy of
the bureaus 1O0-page book, entitled
Child Management"
We have called attention to this book
before and understand that more than a
million copies of the first edition has been
distributed. This indicates that American
parents are interested in their children
and that many of them realize the need
of correct information on habits, feeding,
sex instruction, independence, obedience,
punishment. and score of other prob
lens.
Scientists may argue about the relative
value of heredity and environment all
they please but it is certain that intelli-
gent parents, equipped with the latest in
formation on child welfare, can do some
thing to help their children develop. &c.
if you have children running around the
home, buy yourself copy of this book
and read it carefully.
