Philip D, Hartman, pastor.
Mr*. W. 3. Bickel, has received no­
tice from Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
president of Better Homes in America,
of appointment as chairman of the
Better Homes in America committee
tor Coquille.
Better Home« committees are being
established throughout the nation to
arouse intereat in the improvement of
aomee and to organises local civic
groups to help each family to informa­
tion concerning'th, best ways of tak­
ing the next steps in improving their
own homes.
The movement waa
founded with the help of President
Hoover in 1922, and he served ae
chairman of the Board -of Directors
until he entered the White House
when this chairmanehip was taken
over by Secretary Wilbur. It is an
educational movemerit, supported by
philanthropic gifts, having no com­
mercial connections, and operating
for the service of the public.
In the spring of last year, o 9,772
.•ommittees observed National Bette:
Homes Week. It is expected that even
a larger number will have programs
>f contests, lectures, tours, exhibits
and demonstration houses in prepara-
.ion for the next National Better
Homes Week, which ia from April 23
to 30, 1933.
There will be special emphasis thia
year on programs for the repair of old
houses and for the encouragement of
remodeling and modernising. Many
improvements of home premise« can
be made by the family in their own
free time. Unemployed labor can be
given employment in the making of
the more elaborate improvements. All
efforts of thia sort will help to render
homes more healthful and attractive;
will help to keep up values of property
and serve to enhance the community’«
reputation for high standards. Many
thousand« of homes were improved
during the recent campaign, and it is
expected that a much targe number
of homes will be rendered more con­
venient and livable by the campaign
of 1933.
