BY GENE KNIGHT

(ASSt. Extension Editor, N. L.

RALEIGH, May %. "A start
ling inadequacy of farm housing
was uncovered in a recent survey
conducted by DR.. M. Taylor Mat
theWs, rural sociologist of the ex-
pertinent station at N. c. State
College.
The survey, conducted in a typ
ical community in a Piedmont
North Carolina county, gave re-
suits fairly close to averages
found by careful study of more
than 100000 homes in five south
ern states.
The study showed in this par
tlcular community that only one
IN Is houses had good paint, and
that two houses out of every five
mad no paint at all. One-half OF
the homes had leaky roofs, and
approximately half had nc
screens. only one of every eight
had good screens.
About one house in three had
good interior walls. Three to four
out of every five were af wea.
Their tight construction. Half the
lawns had trees or shrubbery and
about one lawn in four boC
grass.
DIR. Matthews said painted
houses are. found about one-halt
as frequently with colored as
with white families. There were
also twice as many leaky roofs
among the negro dwellings, and
two to three times as many de-
tective sidewalks.

Marjorie stiffled a quick look
OF surprise. There had been no
asking Of blessings so far in the
meals she had eaten in her new
home, although she reflected
they had been most informal, and
her father had generally eaten
upstairs with her mother. But her
heart warmed to the words that
were spoken and she thrilled at
the sweet silence that had settled
over them all. This minister Ger
tainly was a rare one. How great
for Ted to have such a man for
a friend!
AS the heads were lifted the
doctor shot a quick keen glance
at the minister across from him.
But it was the minister who
spoke first.
"Do you mean to tell me, Doc
tor, that you can always tell
which of these twins is which,"
he asked looking from Betty to
Marjorie at his side.
''Welp', said the doctor, 81 can
always tell that this one is Bet
ty, but I'm not always so sure
which one the other one isl"
They all laughed heartily at
that.
1t was a delightful occasion,
and everyone enjoyed it to the
fullest.
Strange to say neither doctor
nor minister seemed to be in a
hurry to leave.
BY this time they were excel
lent friends, having discovered a
number Of testes in common. The
doctor had inquired where Gid
con preached, and Gideon had
suggested that he'd better come
over his way and open an office.
The doctor said he'd think about
it, and Betty told him they were
going to move back there and
needed to have their doctor ham
dy. He said he didn't know but
he would lock into it.
Suddenly Gideon turn e d
around to them all.
Now, why don't we have a lit
