he was grateful to Extension per-
sonnel for the excellent way that
summed up by saying that the
Negro, in this crisis. stands ready
to do his full share.
Walter H. Conway, chief of
business administration of Exten-
sion Service, served as chairman
of the program. In opening the
ceremonial, he gave summary
of the accomplishments of Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Pierce. The for
mer began work for the Depart
ment November II, 1906 and the
latter December l. 1906. They
Were the first Negro farm dem
onstration agents employed by
the government. Mr.. Campbell
was assigned to Macon and ad-
joining counties in Alabama and
Mr.. Pierce was placed in Nosfolk
and adjoining counties in Vir-
ginia.
DR.. Booker 7. Washington,
founder of Tuskegee and the late
DR.. H. B. Frizzel, former presi-
dent of Hampton Institute, had
much to do with the beginning
of Negro extension work. They
arranged with the late DR.. Sea-
man A. Knapp of the Depart
ment for the appointment of Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Pierce. They
also opened their institutions as
headquarters for the work.
During the early years Mr..
Campbell travelled in wagon
called the movable school. In his
wagon he carried a plow, garden
tools, saws, hammers, and other
equipment which enabled him to
teach the farmers i'll the com
munities where he went how to
! improve their farm and home
life. Mr.. Pierce, travelling or
horseback and sometimes in 8
buggy, did similar work. The first
year of the service these pioneers
Travelled more than 5000 miles
laying the groundwork for Elk
tension Service among Negro
farmers.
Several years ago Mr.. Campbell
and Mr.. Pierce were promoted t
regional field supervisors an(
were placed in charge of super
vising extension work among Ne
groes in several states.
Mr.. Pierce, with headquarter
at Hampton Institute, Virginia
supervises West Virginia, Mary

If you have portiers, overdrapes,
or curtains, arrange a double

Should you get an air-raid

be explosive later.
Prepare one room, the one with
the least window-glass in the
strongest part of your house, for
a refuge room. Put food and
drinking water in it. Put. mat
tresses and chairs in it. Take a
magazine or two, and a deck of
cards, into it. Take toilet facili-

too. Above all, keep calm. Stay
at home. Put out lights.

lie down. You will feel that blast

The enemy may use explosive
bombs or incendiary bombs, or
both. If incendiaries are used, it's
more important to deal with them
