Miss Martha Creighton, Piedmont Home Demonstration Agent, Moves to Charlotte, June 27, 1921

Miss Creighton Has Offices Here Now

The headquarters of the Piedmont district in home demonstration work for North Carolina was formally transferred from Greensboro to Charlotte Monday when Miss Martha Creighton, agent for the Piedmont district, came to Charlotte to open the office here.

For the present Miss Creighton’s headquarters will be in the office of the farm demonstration office. Later an office will be equipped for her in the courthouse, according to current expectation.

Miss Creighton will have jurisdiction over 13 counties. They are Mecklenburg, Rockingham, Forsyth, Guilford, Rowan, Cabarrus, Iredell, Catawba, Lincoln, Cleveland, Gaston and Davidson.

Miss Creighton says North Carolina’s record in home demonstration work is widely known and that the state is credited with setting the pace in many phases of this work. This is borne out by the fact that numbers of publications have recently sent special writers here to look into the work.

During the summer many home demonstrations in the counties over which Miss Creighton has jurisdiction will hold encampments where members of boys’ and girls’ demonstration clubs will be taught useful ideas in economics and in household work. Miss Creighton will attend many of these encampments.
