On_the ocal Better Homes Committees there | should be represented the public schools, | through teachers of home economics or | their principals or superintendents, women's clubs, chambers of commerce, | civic improvement associations, parent- | teacher associations, the various organ- | jzations which work for the improve- ment of child life, and in rural com- | munities the extension service, farm bu- | reaus, the Grange and similar agencies. Better Homes Committees representing each of these are able to co-ordinate | their activities in a well-rounded pro- | gram of lectures, contests, exhibits and demonstrations which aim to reach every household in the communi | There were 9,772 such local commit- | tees last year representing each State, | many hundreds of counties and thou- | sands of communities. constitute one of the greatest achieve- | ments of American civic idealism. | Will Carry on Programs. “In spite of the difficult economic | conditions of the past three vears, the Better Homes Committees will carry on with programs of unemployment relief through home care and repair and beau- tification or improvement of home grounds and public highways. They will, however, at the same time prepare for the inevitable economic recovery by studying standards for new housing so that the mistakes of the past may not be repeated. The findings of the Presi- dent’s Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership will be utilized by study groups in anticipation of their immediate application or their use in the near future. The Nation's leading specialists for each detail of home im- provement yere represented on the sommittees of the conference and their findings are now available for universal loca) application. “It is the privilege not only of every parent but of every citizen to co-operate with their local Better Homes Commit- tee in the study of local problems of housing and home life and in the prepa- ration of programs for 1933 which will meet the most urgent problems that the community now faces. Emphasis may be shifted from year to year as new problems arise or old problems are met. In a democracy the very essence of cess lies in the assumption of individual responsibility and wi: directed co- operative activity, which in the field of housing are represented by the unselfish volunteer programs of local committees for Better Homes in America.” | The headquarters office of Better Homes in America is located at 1653 Pennsylvania avenue. Dr. James Ford is the executive director. FARMERS TO BE AIDED Ohio Governor Appoints Committee in Debt Situation. | Gov. George White of Ohio on No- ‘vember 1 announced appointment of a State-wide Farm and Home Protective Committee to set up organizations in every county to counsel and assist farmers and home owners in regard to mortgages on their property maturing | or past due. | “The purpose of these organiza-| tions,” the Governor said, “is to bring together the mortgagor and mortgagee and attempt to work out some plan of | refinancing whereby the property owner | may continue in possession for sufficient time to work out his problem.” | The State-wide committee, serving without pay, will designate local com- mittees in each county X REAL ESTATE.
