MAY 2 through MAY 8
Is Home Demonstration Week
Through Homemaker’s clubs nearly 1,200,
000 women have learned to build better
homes.
In Alaska, 16 Homemaker’s clubs hold
monthly meetings devoted to homemaking
activities. In addition, they aid and spon
sor community projects, assist with fairs,
libraries, hospitals and welfare.
Homemaker’s clubs are concerned with
the building of a good kind of home life
and are striving toward a better under
standing of homemaking.
Homemaker’s clubs are interested in
youth. They sponsor local 4-H clubs and
other youth organizations.
In Alaska, Homemaker’s clubs and the Ex
tension Service try to be neighbors with all
homemakers in Alaska They try to share
experiences with newcomers and to help
them profit by the experiences of the first
settlers and pioneers.
Home Demonstration work is conducted
through the Extension Service, cooperat- ,
ing with the United States Department of
Agriculture, the territory of Alaska, and
the University of Alaska.
