nBritish Woman Sees New
Emphasis on Rural Family
By Jessie Font Evans

enthusiastic about Americas rural
women than she is. Their sense OF
fundamental human values, their
genuineness, honesty, neighborliness,
lack of pretense and basic under
standing of life is magnificent, she
declares. They give one fresh cour-
age to face whatever problems may
lie ahead for the worlds welfare"
At the next meeting of the Asso-
Iciated Country Women of the
World, to be held in Amsterdam,
Holland, next September, she is
hopeful that there will be as full a
representation of American rural
women as possible.
Mrs. Russell's two daughters share
her zeal in associating themselves
with problems dealing with rural
welfare. Her married daughter,
Janet, who is now Mrs. William
Probert, was secretary for two and
a half years to Lord Woolton, Great
Britain's' first wartime Minister of
Food. Ann, who is in the United
States on research fellowship from
the Veterinary Educational Trust
Fund to study a horse parasite, has
made name for herself as a Brit
ish veterinary surgeon.
Born in New Zealand and brought
up in Australia, Mrs. Russell has
been a resident of England since her
marriage. She has been widowed
since World War I.

New emphasis on the rural famil.
is spreading throughout the world
according to Mrs. Charles Russell o1
London, who is staying with hel
daughter Ann during her Washing
| ton visit.
Here to visit rural groups as Eng
lands representative of the Associ-
ated Country Women of the World
she feels the nations generally are
waking up to the Importance of the
rural wife.
| Mrs. Russell. considers it signifl-
cant that the Associated Country
Women of the World, which links
up women's rural societies in 2:
countries, is taking hand in world
affairs with dynamic program fol
food, housing and education.
Such a power Of strength does she
consider the rural women in every
nation that she has originated anc
| is directing the exchange of per-
sonal letters by members of the
group as means of promoting bet
ter international understanding or
a personal basis.
Works for Peace.
This calm, poised Englishwoman
who has given more than 20 years
of her life in volunteer service tt
help the 100000 rural women oi
England, believes women must helr
to maintain peace.
"For centuries women have beer
experts in building human relation
Ships" she declares. "They have 6
distinct contribution of their owr
which should be brought to worlc
councils. If we are to have a better
world their viewpoints must <b'
fused with those of the men, II
order to achieve international peace
and concord"
A volunteer county organizer ir
the National Federation OF The
Women's Institute of England anc
Wales, she IS a member of its Exec.
utive Committee and of its group
which is studying the most effective
modern world.
Seriously to be considered 1.
whether their greatest usefulness
may not be destroyed by pushing
them almost exclusively down mems
roads to higher learning. thereby
making of them mere shadow men,
she emphasizes. T.
With pardonable pride Mrs. Rus.
sell refers to the voluntary service
in 10 government departments
which the farm women of England
managed to make as a. patriotic
contribution during the war, al
though they already were overbur.
dened with their share in the pro
duction and conservation of food.
With typical British reticence
she pushes her own leadership II
lectures on health, housing and theil
kindred problems into the back
ground.

VENTILATION SYSTEM
SOLVES BARN PROBLEM

Where proper ventilation still
remains as problem to be solved
whether the barn is old or recently
constructed, the answer in, the ma
jority of cases is the construction
of a ventilation system. This is
the advice of Jack F. Bell, extern
sion agricultural engineer.
Bell says that common roof ven
tilators are of little value unless
they are connected directly to the
stable by means of an insulated
duct Hay chutes should not be
used for ventilators because of the
excessive loss of warm air Win
dows make poor intakes because
mixing of the cold air with warm
air at the ceiling does not permit
uniform regulation of the temper
ature.N
A weH-built and planned ventil-
alton system has its individual air
intakes and outlets. The intakes
are located in the sidewalks with
the air entering near the floor OF
at the ceiling. Outlet ducts should
likewise be near the. floor or cell
| ing and should extend to the ROOT
ventilators. The outlet ducts have
! to be. well-constructed and tight
for efficient operation of the sys-
