The Annual Program Planning
meeting of the Holmes County
Home Demonstration council met
Friday, October 8, at 200 p. m.
in the demonstration kitchen in
the Masonic Temple building in
Lexington. Mrs. w. H Roach.
president of the council, called
the meeting to order. The devo-
tional was given by Mrs. T. A.
Barrentine after which Miss Olive
Dowell, District Agent led in
prayer. America was led by Miss
Joyce Williams, Home Demon
stration agent
Miss Dowell introduced Mr..
Lewis Garrison, Assistant County
agent, and Mrs. Garrison discuss
ed the plan for the boys All
club work in Holmes county.
Goals for the new year TO the
home demonstration council were
decided upon and the demonstra-
tons for the coming year were
planned. The six home demon
stration clubs represented at the
meeting were Durant, Brozville,
Coxburg, Castalian, Lexington,
and Ebenezer.
Refreshments of Coca-Colas and
cookies were served.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1948-10-28

is not much good; it is open to
rat infestation and fly breeding
and is generally nuisance.
IAN area reclaimed by sani-
tary land fill is a community as
set. Proper handling and COM
pacting of the rubbish assures
that settling will be held to
minimum and that the land will
be useful when the operation is
completed. In this method, rub
bish is carried to the site where
it is deposited in a trench or ditch
previously made by bull
dozer or bullclam; then it is level
ed and compacted by bulldozers
or similar equipment into about
one-third its original volume.
Each trench is about 10 feet wide
and is filled to depth of about
four to 10 feet with compacted
rubbish. AT the end of each day
cover Of six inches of dirt is
placed over the compacted rub
bish; thus only minimum of re-
fuse is exposed at any time"
Mentioning Natchez, Jackson
and other towns where this
method is used to reclaim park
areas, Mr.. Kroeze stated that the
sanitary land fill has the addi-
tional advantage of requiring a
relatively small investment and
