Union County Drops Home Demonstration Agent Position, Used Money for Hospital, Dec. 14, 1920

The need for economy caused the Union county board of commissioners to drop the home demonstration work, to which it has been contributing $420 a year, the balance of the funds having been secured from state and federal sources. The board had promised a donation to the Ellen Fitzgerald hospital, and it preferred to expend the money usually set aside for the demonstration work to fulfill this obligation.
