A longtime Halifax County Fair participant, Mrs Dickens, now 64, helped organize the Farm Women club, attended the State College short course in Raleigh for two terms but did not graduate due to poor health. She aided in raising funds for the new club house and donated a chair for the building while supporting Home Demonstration work as a booster and home maker.
Halifax County Home Demonstration Clubs began a library project in 1937 with access to hundreds of books from Weldon Public Library. Each month, club members receive new titles via Mrs. Wheeler, with books circulated among members. Old selections are passed to other communities. The program offers materials for all ages including scrapbooks stories and serials bound into booklets.
During 1919 Mrs. E. W. Dickens Sr. helped form the Darlington Woman's Home Demonstration Club. A farmer's wife and mother of thirteen, she won numerous prizes for canning and sewing, contributed to county fairs, home improvements, and now serves as Dairy Leader guiding butter contests.
