Home Demonstration
Work Is Defended by
Montgomery Women

Montgomery County farm wom-
en- struck back yesterday at accu-
sations of the County Farm Bureau
that the county home demonstra-
ton program was being conducted
for suburban and town women in
stead of farm women.
A resolution, adopted by the
board of directors of the Farm Bu-
reau Tuesday asked for an inves-
tibation to decide whether the
Office of Miss Edythe M. Turner,
county home demonstration agent,
was planning its program for the
farm women, as required under the
Smith-Lever Act, or was directing
it's efforts primarily for suburban
and town women.
Mrs. C. M. Upton, Dickerson,
president of the Council of Home
makers Clubs, with a membership
of80o in the county, said she had
personally checked charges of
Farm Bureau President James D.
King that the program was di-
rected toward suburban women.
Mrs. Upton said there was only
one of the Homemakers Clubs in a
suburban area and that was in Silver
Spring. She said Miss Turner had
nothing to do with its foundation.
The Homemaker president stated
that families are being divided on
the issue as many homemakers are
wives of Farm Bureau members. She
said, If necessary. she would call a
meeting of the homemakers to con-
slider action in respect to the Farm
Bureau issue.
Miss Turner had never refused tc
work with any All leader as alleged
Mrs Upton said, but added that
some of the All leaders had refused
to work with Miss Turner.
John S. Wood, counsel for the
Homemakers. said in reply to an &C
cusation that a petition was sent tc
DR.. T. B. Symons, Extension Service
director, requesting the retention OF
Miss Turner as county home agent
that mo petition was sent to DR.
Symons." The petition has been
out of my possession" he added
Mr.. Wood asked, who ever heard
of farmer husbands publicly investi-
eating their own homemaker wives?'

riers travelling through the State,
during war years. was Cancelled by
the Governor several months ago.

Paris pediatrician declared yester.

The pediatrician, DR.. Raymond
Mande, is currently studying at thu
Johns Hopkins Medical School here
In spite of the complete lack o1
cod liver oil and orange juice, anc
the almost complete lack of milk
small French children remained
free of these diseases, he said. The
shortage forced French housewives
to cook peelings. rinds and scrap

Mande explained.
He denied suggestion by an
American physician that French
doctors were not familiar enough
with scurvy and rickets to be able
to diagnose them.
Mortality Rate High.
"We knew how, all right he
said, but there just wasn't any
I've seen plenty here, but there was
none in France"
Lack of proteins and fats was re-
sponsible for tremendous increase
in many nutritional disorders, DR..
Mande continued, but vitamin de-
ficiency diseases almost disappeared.
Furthermore, premature births and
maternity ailments did not increase.
During the winter of 1910 there
was. OF course, an enormous infant
mortality rate. This was due to the
mass migrations following on the
heels of the German occupation,
the dislocation of populations and
the disorder of life in general. This
stopped when things settled down
and then, during the past two years
the birth rate climbed in a remark
able fashion,
The French birth rate, the pedia-
trician declared, is now equal tc
the death rate in spite of economic
chaos and extremely poor fooo
prospects. Special Government
bonuses may have played a part
in this, DR.. Mande said, adding
that the increase in public clinics
and a new French birthrate con.
sciousness are mainly responsible

Strangely enough infants anc
small babies escaped the genera

serted.
But as the children grew Older
they began to show the effects O.
malnutrition. After the age of {
or 7 they were ION their own" anc
getting only their share of the
family food supply, and their bod
les showed it, the doctor asserted
Another year of poor nutrition ma,
result in a national catastrophe, hi
said.
The severest suffering among
adults, aside from constant hunger
DR.. Mande said, was "a terrible
