he said
"The fate of the nation rests upon
the outlook of the rural population in
keeping the loyalty and principles
upon which the nation was founded
and has grown"
He urged his hearers to "take cog
nizance of what is going on in the leg
islative halls" and pointed out to them
that it was their duty to inform their
representatives of their opinions in all
matters of legislation affecting them.
DR.. Byrd also spoke on human
values, in considering the lives of
those about us. He told the group they
must build their family upon solid
foundation so that they would con-
tribute something worthwhile and of
lasting value. "The highest object in
life" he said, "is to do for others and
give for Others"
DR.. Byrd arrived at the picnic
ground from Washington, D. c., after
hurried trip. He had spoken at Har-
risburg, Pa, the evening previous. He
was introduced to the audience by
Miss Mildred Barton, home demon
stration agent. Other speakers in

ty Council of Homemakers' Clubs, and

speech. They inspected the new din
ing hall, numerous cabins, the 26-acre
lake and numerous buildings erected
for use of the 44-H clubs, Boy and

other organized groups.

law Falls Park area with John H. Car
ter, county agent.
The farmers all had picnic dinner
at noon at community tables and en-
joyed games and recreation in the
morning and afternoon. About TWEEN
ty-fve local candidates for county po-
litical offices were present to brush
Up acquaintance and pass judgment
on the quality of the outlay of food,
which they tasted at length and pro-
nounced all of it good.
The gathering was held under the
direction of the Homemakers' clubs,

influence of any Intoxicating liquors
while transporting school children,

cation with the contract cancelled
forthwith for such transportation of
pupils; and any teacher or any other
employee of the Board having
knowledge of any such violation Of
this regulation and does not report
the same forthwith to the county
superintendent who shall in turn refer
the same to the County Board for
appropriate action, shall be guilty of
willful neglect of duty and charged
accordingly by the county superin-
tendent in writing before the county
board"
Mr.. Rathbun announced that official
notice of the grant of $4,000 in
Public Works Administration funds
had been received at the school board

Potato Blight Causing Heavy
Losses To Producers

1t was estimated by a number Of
farmers this week that the potato
blight had caused hundreds of dollars
worth of damage.
The blight was caused, according to
John H. Carter, county agent, from
extremely wet weather, especially at
night, with hot days. The blight
seemed to come so fast in many cases
spraying was ineffective. Many pro-
ducers are wondering if they will
have enough for their own use.
Those who were fortunate in get
ging their seed planted early will
have a fair crop, it was stated. In a
number of fields the blight struck be-
fore the plants had doomed.
