Mrs. w. H. Roach. president OF
Holmes County Home Demon
stration council, announced Fri
day that the County Home De-

ton club members. More than
| 10000 negro farm homemakers

stration agents.
The work originated in 1911
with $50 girls who were members
of Tomato clubs directed by three
women, including Miss Susie v.

stration agent in Mississippi. The
first real home demonstration
clubs were organized by Miss
Powell in 1915.
Mrs. Mary Barrow Geisen sue
ceeded Miss Powell as State Home
Demonstration agent in 1924 but
resigned in 1929 to be replaced by
Miss May Cresswell. The work
started by Miss Powell has grown
so that 70 counties now employ
white Home Demonstration
agents. Tifty-one counties have
Negro Home Demonstration
agents.
During the national observance
OF Home Demonstration Club
week, the members viii make ra-
dio talks and will speak before
civic groups on what Home De-
monstration Councils and Clubs
are doing. Next week the Rotary
club will hear a similar program.
The clubs will sponsor educa-
tional exhibits as food preserva-
ton exhibits, garden exhibits, rug
exhibits, poultry exhibits and
others in store windows and other
public places in both Durant and
Lexington, according to Miss
Joyce Williams, home demon
stration agent.

" closed the Rev. VIM. Asger's
work as rector of Saint Mary's
Episcopal church.
The children gave an Easter
program at the Sunday School
hour which was followed by the
traditional Easter egg hunt held
in the church yard. The atten-
dance was unusually large with
many out-of-town families as
we'll as a good representation
from the city.
At 5 o. m. Easter day, the sac
rament of Baptism was admins
tered by the rector to the follow
ing children: Daniel Gilbert and

of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan G. Pepper;
John Sharpe. son of MIR. and Mrs
John Sharpe Williams, Nv; Helen
Michel, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. B. Holder, Jr., and DAVID
Thomas, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
mic Slack.
The Baptismal vows were maze
by the godparents in the pre-
sence of many friends and rela-
tives. The evening service with
sermon by the rector was held
at 1880 at which time Mrs. Claude

On Easter Monday at 9 a. m,
members of Saint Mary's again
gathered to make their Easter
communion which climaxed the
services of the highest season OF
the Christian Church calendar,
that of Easter.
Saint Mary's has lost a splendid
leader in the Rev. Mr.. Asger, and
Oxford is fortunate in securing
him as rector at Saint Peters
church there.
Until another rector is appoint
