Washington. D. C. "The week of
April 26 to May 2 will be ohserved
as National Better Homes Week in
every state in the union and by more
than eight thousand communities."
according to Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
Secretary of the Interior, who suc
ceeded Herbert Hoover as President
of Better Homes in America, in a
communication to Mrs. F. G. Coryell,
local chairman.
"The welfare of all eiti-ens," Dr.
Wilbur continues, "is influenced pro
foundly by the conditions of their
daily bome life and of the residential
districts in which they dwell. Health,
safety and happiness are dependent
in large part upon wholesome condi
tions of living which involve such
details .as good const ruction, improv
ed sanitation ami convenience and
comfort in household arrangements.
Sound development of children is to
lie secured chiefly by conditions of
living which make possible proper
nutrition, adequate uninterrupted
sleep, abundance of fresh air and
sunshine, safe and wholesame play
and high ideals which are the out
growth of thoughtful, wholesome
and idealistic family life.
"To help parents to have access to
' the best contemporary knowledge of
:lo ways of building, acquiring, mod
ernizing and furnishing their homer.
: and to assist them also in working
, out their plans for the improvement
of home relations and activities. Bet
Jter Hemes in America has organized
more than S.OOo local committee
i each having barge of home improve
I ment programs for the city, county,
village or rural community which it
servos. To these committees made Bp
i of citizens experienced in civic and
educational work which have so un
selfishly assumed responsibility for
: the development of Better Homes
pn grams, falls the important task of
, helpirg all local families, irrespec
tive of income, to a knowledge of
the ways in which they can take the
: next steps in the improvement of
: their own homes and premises.
! "The popular educational move-
j ment for Better Homes in America
, was both inspired and developed un
; der the personal leadership of Presi
dent Hoover, who still serves as its
I Honorary Chairman. The campaign
! has developed to the point where
i there are now thousands of commun
itiea participating this year in the
observance of Better Homes Week.
"To this end they have prepared
lecture programs amj oonteS(S for jm.
Drovement of kitchens, living rooms
, and gardens as a significant part of
( their program. In addition, however. '
'many have seized their opportunity
;'o stimulate relief of unemployment
through urging local citizens to make
home repairs now and to employ la
bor where possible in the improve
jment of buildings, gardens and road-
sides. Other committees have ar- !
I ranged for public demonstrations of
; the better types of new houses with
in the reath of families with rela- ,
1 lively modest means or for recondi
tioned old houses to show how homes
can best be brought up to standard
at low cost. Tours to houses in which
I i ifi; improvements have been
: made will be arranged this year as
I in other years in many rural dis-
i tricts.
"Educational service of this type
exercises a deep and lasting Influ
ence upon the home and community.
;A11 citizens are urged to cooperate in
: hese programs so that rapid pro
gress may be made in removing con
ditions which may interfere in any
! way with the health and welfare of
jthe growing child."
