In. an address at New York,
Aiken criticized the makeup of
the recently created republican
program committee. He asid that,
in a total membership of 217, or
ganized and unorganized workers
were represented by "just four
labor men" and agriculture by
only 21.
The governor counseled:
"Forget your Tiatred for the
president. Stop crying 'fascist
every time he makes a move,
stop worrying about reds in the
White House. Because of your
reckness hatred the minds of
many American men and women
are shut against your honest
criticisms.
Like Vandenrberg, John D. M.
Hamilton, chairman of the re
publican national committee, di
rected .some of his remarks to
"Jeffersonian democrats."
"The republican party Is more
Jeffersonian today than those
who pay mere lip service to his
name," Hamilton said, and then
proffered this toast:
"To Thomas Jefferson and Ab

CORVALLIS. Feb. 12.-0P)-The
betterment of the rural home Is
the ultimate objective of all ex
tension work, whether with men.
women or 4H club boys and girls,
F. L. Ballard, vice-director in
charge of the state college exten
sion service, told Oregon women
assembled for the eighth annual
conference oh home interests.
"I Believe that In 25 years there
has come about a remarkable
change to a more definite under
standing of the place the home
itself holds in the commercial op
eration of the farm unit, if we
care to use that cold term," he
said.
Work Bringing Results
"It seems to me that when our
home economics staff members
and local leaders sit around the
conference table in 36 counties,
as they are doing this winter at
the farm economicc conference
meetings, they will bring definite
ly into the consciousness of the
people the subject of the needs
of the home.
"In one county the conference
brought to light the fact that 32
per cent of the homemakers still
carry water an average distance
of 190 feet, that only 54 per cent
of the homes have piped cold
water, and only 35 per cent have
adequate sanitation. Tou can't
keep emphasizing such facts with
out making some progress towards
Improvement."
