the work was organized so that To-
cal leaders were trained to conduct
five of the ten regular monthly
meetings throughout the year thus
releasing the agents time for vari-
Gus miscellaneous activities. This
plan was boon TO the substitute
agent. During the year she contact
ed several new communities which
organized the following year She
gave some time to the C. w. A.
housing survey made in Sussex
County this year.
Mrs. Marion Severance, former
agent in an adjoining county for
seven previous years was appoint
ed to succeed Miss Rutherford in
1885. Better organization was per-
fected within the county by the
writing of constitutions for both the
| individual club and the county,
through printed program booklets
and thru better business methods
at meetings.
Several changes were made in
the clubs during the year. The
names of Shawnee, Broadcreek and
Loves Cross Roads appear while
those of Lincoln, Cokesbury and
Ocean View were dropped, thus
keeping the total number the same.
Owens Station changed it's name
to the Greenwood Club.
A weekly Homemakers' Market
was tried at'our main summer re-
rt-Rehoboth-but with little sue
cess. The agent was out of the
county for six weeks sick leave
Miss Ruth Minturn, home manage
ment specialist. conducted the
meetings during this period.
In 1887, the Atlanta Club took
the place of the Ocean View SO
there were again Is white groups
and one colored group with a total
membership of 437 women. The
women insisted upon a doing"
program this year so the projects
reverted to the demonstration type.
Outstanding changes or additions
to the program were the number of
account keepers and the work done
in cooperation with the Rural Elec-
IRRIGATION Administrator. This was
also the first year that a reading
course mapped out by the State Lii
brarian was adopted by the women.
In February, 1888, Miss Alice
Melendy succeeded Mrs. Severance
in Sussex County. Two new groups
One white Omar and one color
ed were organized. Membership in
creased to SOC women in the 10
clubs. She also worked in several
new communities with unorganized
short-time project groups thus
making new contacts.
In 1889, there was again change
of agents. Miss Melendy resigned
on August LIST to be married and
was succeeded on September LIST by
Miss M. Gertrude Holloway. Miss
Holloway inherited Is home dem
onstratiOn clubs-16 white and 2

1951-The County Seat and st.
Johns Home Demonstration Clubs
were organized during this year. On
June Is, 1851, Mrs. Eiaybelle Lyon
Long resigned and Miss Nancy Rat
lift, a native of North Carolina,
came to Sussex, November Is, 1851.
During the time elapse without an
agent, st. Johns Club disbanded.
1952-The Merry Homemakers
group of Greenwood was organized.
1953-No new organizations.
1954-The Indian River and Re-
hoboth Beach Home Denonstra-
ton Clubs were organized, thus
making Sussex County's total num-
Der of home demonstration clubs
twenty-five with 903 members.
So far, 1866 shows no new clubs,
but there have been some inquiries.
With the healthy Sussex Home
Demonstration past, there must be
an even better future.

owNERlsss BRIDGE

LYONS, Mich. -(P)-- This viii
lage wants to repair 74-year-old
bridge, but can't find out who owns
ii. To determine ownership, Village
President James Kistler started
friendly lawsuits against the viii
lage, county and state.
School buses have been ordered
to stop on one side of the weakened
structure, let the children walk
across the bridge and pick them up
on the other side
The bridge was built in 1881, re-
paired in 1901 and again in 1880.
But search of records has failed
TO show who built the bridge and
who's going to pay for repairs.

STANTON, Mo. (P) Now
they're irrfgating caves.
A $4,000 irrigation system was
installed in the Meramec -Caverns
here by Lester B. Dill, owner.
From lack OF rain, some OF the
picturesque limestone formations
and statues were becoming dry.
Moisture supplied by an electric
pump is keeping them fresh and
full of luster and color. 1t serves
the three miles of cave open to the
public. Dill says he thinks it's the
first irrigation system for a cave.
