VARIED PROGRAM

The farm Women's programs
throughout the nation vary, said
Mrs. Sims, since different COM
munities have different problems
but their general goal is to de-
velop the things that rural people
Rave, their SKIS and knowledge. to
make the most of what they have
and to give them courage for their
daily life.
She paid great tribute to the help
given farm home department Wo-
men in California by the Univer-
Sity of California agricultural ex-
! tension service.
! Some of the goals of the ma
tional organization arc the develop
ment of leadership, particularly a
wider leadership with more women
taking part; providing adequate
social and educational opportuni-
ties for fam Jouvn, and the
strengthening of farm organiza-
tions so that they may carry
their program into effect and also
educate other 6.oupo as to the
aims and purposes of agricultural
organizations.
In the state program, three main
objectives have been stressed for
the year: cooperation with other
organizations in the community,
continuation of home demonStra-
| ton projects, and continuation of
farm home department propccts.
THREE OBJt CTlVES
Farm women, Said Mrs. Sims,
should cooperate with ether Sroups
in the community SO that each may
understand the other, and the5
should also cooperate with their
allied organizations the All club
and the farm bureau.
Under furthance Of the cXtcn-
sion service program, the farm
| eafcty program should be cmphaS-
lied and also the study Of eco
nomics in the house as outlined
with the vital study of food con-
servation and preservation.
State farm home department
projects which are being continu-
ed are: the school hot lunch pro-
gram, the good neighbor plan,

Increasing Labor Shortage
Predicted For Trucking

Washington, ID. c. ULNS).- The

Transportation. will become steadily
more serious in the next II MONTHS"
because the armed services and war

Proper maintenance requires train

They will be harder and harder to
find as time goes on. Proper operation
of trucks both big and small, requires
trained drivers. They, too, will be
harder and harder to find.
This means that everything pos
