Member^, of a Homemaker’;
Club know that a club is no long
er “that group of women wh<
get together and sew feed sacks.’
but a group where homemakin;
skills and activities are discussed
Certainly a woman in the home
needs information, training ane
encouragement in making dollar,
go a long way by wise buying
and health habits, in keeping hei
family well through proper nutri
tion and health habits, in saving
her own time and energy by
management and efficient work
methods, in making the home
comfortable and attractive with
the least expenditure of money
and in caring for the children in
telligently and raising them to
become honorable and useful
citizens. Home is where the whole
family assembles at nightfall,
and it remains largely the respon
sibility of the mother to keep the
lome a happy place where chil
dren like to be and where young
people are proud to bring theii
friends. All this takes knowledge
and constant thought and work
on the part of the whole family
but especially on the part of the
mother.
Beginning in 1904 with a few
farm demonstrations in three
states, Home Demonstration work
expanded by 1949 to assisting oi
influencing nearly seven million
nilies in 48 states, Alaska, Ha
waii and Puerto Rico. Not only
in our own country, but from 6?
countries, hundreds of educator
have come to the United States
to study educational method
u asl by extension workers an
hundreds of young people hav<
c-onie to work and live on farm
end ranches for a time to learn
especially about 4-II club work
