Luter was first home agent (Editor's Note: The following article is reprinted from the Mississippi State College for Women Alumnae News and concerns Mrs. J. C. Luter, who served as Montgomery home demonstration agent for 14 years. Mrs.

J. C. Luter, Della Blanche Smith, (1900-01), formerly of Tylertown, Miss. was not only the first District Home Demonstration Agent in the USA, but also winner of the title "Best District Agent" in the first contest held for district agents in this state. Mrs.

Luter became a county home demonstration agent in 1912, a year after the work was organized in Mississippi by Miss Susie V. Powell. Mrs. Luter was first married to J. W.

Alley, a merchant at Magee who died when their son Harmon was only two months old. After his death, she accepted a position teaching in Montgomery County in the Scotland community. Here she bought a farm. It was because of the wonderful work she did here with rural children that she was recognized as being "just the one" to serve as Montgomery county's first home demonstration agent. She became the first District Agent in the United States, which position she held from 1917 to 1931.

It is often said that home demonstration work started in Mississippi with a tin can and a tomato. Mrs. Luter has written her reminiscences of the horse and buggy days of 4-H Clubs, and presented them to Marcie Sanders '38, MSCW Museum Curator, for preservation with the archives of MSCW. In those days, Mrs. Alley left home on Monday with a coal oil stove wrapped to the buggy, fireless cookers, pots, pans, and other equipment, along with her small son on the seat beside her.

Living with her club girls and women during the week, she returned on Friday night to her home. In 1917 she was able to purchase an automobile for $460. This made it possible for her to return home most nights, for her young son to have a more normal family life. In 1925 she became the wife of J. C.

Luter, long-time Chancery Clerk of Walthall County, Miss. laughing about his wife's good business judgment, he says, "She was business woman enough to swap me one son for five sons and two daughters." The small son, Harmon, was his mother's constant companion in agricultural circles. Some of the photographs of 4-H Club winners show the small son with his back to the camera, oblivious of the She tells of carrying her son to MSU to 4-H Congress when he wasn't big enough to sleep on a bunk bed without rolling off. Her son is currently associated with the Farmers Home Administration in Hinds County, and has directed some highly successful horticultural and poultry enterprises in Mississippi. Another picture of the collection shows the first county fair exhibit in Montgomery County in 1912.

She accompanied a Kilmichael girl's club to this first exhibit, with the yell, "Cock-ADoodle-Do-, Cock-A-Doodle-Do. Kilmichael Poultry Club, Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!" State Treasurer can be achieved only with your help. I want and need your active support and vote for which I will be forever grateful. Mrs. Luter received her 30- year service pin for government service in agriculture in 1949.

Until last year Mrs. Luter was active in the Tylertown Baptist Church, Tylertown Garden Club, and Salem Home Demonstration Club. Failing health has forced the couple now ages 83 and 93. to accept retirement from community activities. They are currently at Englewood Nursing Home in Jackson, Miss.

For forty years Mrs. Luter attended the Mississippi Home Economics Association without missing an annual meeting. She still holds active membership in this organization, too. What does this pioneer in home science skills consider her greatest contribution to the education of Mississippi women? Teaching the public that homemaking is not an inborn female talent, but rather many skills and attitudes which can be learned. How nobly she expressed a great truth many of our generation now take for granted.

It is upon this foundation, laid by pioneers such as Mrs. Luter, that modern equipment for stepsaving kitchens have been engineered, convenience foods developed, and the education of women progressed. Indeed, she has pointed the key to successful family life applicable anytime. Winonan retires after 21 years as UT's head chef (Editor's Note: The following article tells of the retirement of Jim Thompson, a native Winonan, as chief with the University of Tennessee athletic department. Mr.

Thompson is a brother of John, Bud, and Henry Thompson of Winona, and of Mrs. Ruth Lloyd of Panama City, Florida, and "Snooks" Thompson of Petal. His wife is the former Grace Bond of Winona. Mr. Thompson is the son of the late J.

M. and "Miss Pet" Thompson of Winona.) Jim M. Thompson, who came from Mississippi to run the U-T training table in 1946, is retiring, effective in September. The highly respected "Mr. Jim" known to hundreds of U-T athletes and alumni rounds out 21 years with the Volunteers at the end of this school year.

Bob Woodruff, U-T athletic director, said today Mr. Thompson will remain with the athletic department in an advisory "Mr. Jim is the best man I've ever seen on buying meats." said Woodruff. "We want him to stay right here and help us." Mr. Thompson will be 70 on May 13.

"Mr. Jim's" fine hand with the feeding and handling of athletes became obvious in his decade or more at Mississippi State University. It was there that Bowden Wyatt and Murray Warmath, assistant coaches there, came to know him and to enjoy the food he prepared. They recommended him to the late Gen. Robert R.

Neyland, who in 1946 was resuming his coaching career at Tennessee after five years in World War II duty. General Neyland hired "Mr. Jim" and he's been on the job about 16 hours a day ever since. THE SOUTHWEST HOTELS, W. LEN' HOTEL Memphis' newest and most conveniently located hotel.

ROSIE ABEL IS PHI KAPPA PHI PICK Rosie Pittman Abel, of Duck Hill has been initiated into Phi Kappa Phi, national honor society, at the University of sippi. Membership in the society is one of the highest academic honors it is possible for an Ole Miss student to attain. WASHINGTON REPORT JOHN STENNIS, U.

S. Senator There is undoubtedly a sense of frustration prevalent among many college students today. The violent demonstrations they have recently staged at some institutions, the rude treatment they have accorded government spokesmen that have been invited to their campuses, the insolence they have shown to the faculty and administration of their schools, their resort to drugs, crude conduct, and offensive behavior, are all symptons of their feeling of frustration which plagues students of today. The fact that only a small minority is involved does not lessen the seriousness of this problem. More importantly, they probably reflect in part the sentiments of many of the more restrained majority.

Their behavior is unpardonable but their feelings of frustration are under standable. We are becoming a mass society in which the individual is submerged in the multitude. His significance as a person is obscured by numbers. His influence over events vitally affecting his life is steadily declining. He is buffeted about by titanic social forces.

and ordered around by vast and mote organizations. His education has made him more perceptive. more sensitive to the wrongs that need righting, but at the same time he feels powerless to do anything about them. It is enough to drive the fainthearted to despair. The solution.

however, does not lie in frenzied protests a- gainst the system or desperate acts of defiance. This is a cowardly and futile gesture of no lasting consequence. One may rebel against society but he cannot escape it. Rebellion merely strengthens the forces of pression and prolongs the agony of unbearable conditions. only sure and sensible way is through patient and painstaking solution of the problems which disturb us.

Time and ergy spent on denouncing is totally wasted if it is not companied by some thought effort toward its correction. This latter course requires more courage, more determination. and more intelligence but also requires preparation. There is a great controversy raging over what "role" student should play in modern society. I think that the dent's proper role is that of ing an earnest and responsible student.

He should devote self whole-heartedly to the of preparing himself, with much knowledge as possible, attack rationally the problems of society. If he is to shake the sense of frustration which troubles him. he must increase his understanding of his environment and the forces which it. Only in this way can he to influence it. In this hard he must rely on the advice guidance of those who have ceded him, but he must assume a deep personal responsibility for making the most his opportunities.

Faith in the leadership of country and the development a strong sense of individual sponsibility will see this generation through i its crises as it those who have gone before.

Treasury put on sale May 1 a new 4.74% savnote to be known as "Freedom Shares." and intensified its efforts to substantially increase the sale of United States Savings Bonds in 1967. Forrest Heath, county ings bond chairman, called it the most important campaign since World War I1 days to increase the purchase of Series Savings Bonds and the new companion Freedom Shares, which can be bought only along with Savings Bonds on a regular purchase plan. "Top officials of government. from the president on down. have labeled the need more gent than at any time since Mr.

Heath said. "With increasing costs of the minds. It must be sought tirelessly through hard work and self-discipline. It cannot be tained by irresponsible or through a negative attitude. In short, education is as dependent on individual responsibility and initiative as on professors.

I urge all citizens of Montgomery County to step up bond purchases, and to follow a regular purchase plan that will make them eligible to buy the new Freedom The basic plans are available for the regular purchase of Savings Bonds, thus creating eligibility to buy Freedom Shares. One is the Payroll Savings Plan offered by many business firms to its employees. The other is the Bond-A-Month Plan through which local banks deduct set a- mounts monthly from custompers' checking accounts.

Under either plan, the regular bond buyer may purchase Freedom Shares of the same face a- mount as the Bonds he is buying. However, note purchases are limited to $1,350 (face a- mount) in any one calendar uryear. Bond holdings. of course. remain at the $20.000 annual limit.
