Announces Changes in Home Agents

The following changes in the Demonstration Department were announced Saturday:

Miss Bernice Allen, who was demonstration agent for Halifax County, has resigned to continue her studies at Columbia University. Miss Hazel Ervin of Tennessee will be her successor. She will be in Roanoke Rapids to confer with the farm demonstration agent for a few days before assuming her duties. Miss Ervin holds a degree from Peabody College at Nashville, Tennessee.

Miss Bertha Lee Ferguson, also of Tennessee, will take charge of the home demonstration work in Pitt County, making her headquarters in Greenville. This county has recently instituted home demonstration work. Miss Lee has been a home demonstration agent in Alabama for the past four years, and has had extensive training and experience in this work. Miss Mattie Lee Cooley, formerly of North Hampton, has been transferred to Cabarrus County.

Miss Annie Baldwin Horn will take up the post of home demonstration agent in New Hanover County September 1, and will succeed Miss Florence Jeffry, who was married in June. Since that time Miss Lucile Clark has been substituting in this county. Miss Horn is just returning from a pleasure and study trip abroad.

Miss Catherine Millsaps of Statesville, formerly a teacher of home economics, recently accepted work as home demonstration agent in Scotland County.

Miss Emma Gray Morehead of Georgia has taken up work in Washington County as home demonstration agent with headquarters in Plymouth. Miss Gray also holds a degree from Peabody College and was a home demonstration agent in Georgia prior to her work here.

Miss Delano Wilson has returned form an extensive trip to the western coast made on leave of absence this summer, and will take up her work in Stanly Count as home demonstration agent with headquarters in Albemarle.
