Canning was the first 4-H
project for girls about 50 years
ago came under the heading of
“home economics.” Cooking and
sewing were soon added. Today
about 1V4 million girls between
10 and 21 years old are engaged
in a broad program of home
economics projects.
They not only learn many
skills for building happy homes,
but also acquire important
knowledge and experience to
guide them into future careers
and successful marriages.
In 1933, with the approval of
the Cooperative Extension Serv
ice, a specific awards program
that encompassed all 4-H home
economics projects was set up.
The sponsor was Montgomery
Ward, which already had been
an active supporter of 4-H
youths for a decade.

was a college scholarship pro
vided by the mail order firm.
Soon another batch of home
economics scholarship winners
will be named by the Extension
Service. In November, six girls
will be chosen from among 1962
state award winners who will
meet at the National 4-H Club
Congress opening in Chicago
Nov. 25. The trips will be paid
for by Montgomery Ward and
all 50 girls will be guests at a
banquet in their honor.
And what lies ahead for these
talented young women?
The answer may be found in
the results of a recent survey of
former home economics scholar
ship recipients spanning a 25
year period. Of the 110 respond
ents, 78 per cent had attended
college. About 86 per cent of
this group pursued home eco

areas: teaching, dietetics, nurs

social work and business.
A review of additional jobs

TO THE
EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Forest fire losses in Alaska
during the 1962 fire season
were, as in 1961, quite moder
ate. We attribute this in part
to favorable weather condi
tions. However, since man
caused fires were so few, we
believe a great deal of credit
for this is due the newspapers
of Alaska for carrying excel
lent and timely forest fire pre
vention messages. The Bureau
of Land Management is indeed
grateful for the fire prevention
cooperation we received in The
Frontiersman. I wish to take
this opportunity to thank you
and your staff for your assis
tance to our fire prevention
program.
Very truly yours,
Roger R. Robinson
State Director
