Home Demonstration Head Reviews
1950—a Busy Year for Clubwomen
By MRS. E. R. CARPENTER
of Chambers, Chairman
Hoff Home Demon. Council
I '' As 1950 fades into memory,
thoughts of the accomplishments
in home demonstration work
come to the minds of those who
have been active in club work in
the county.
Though not all of our plans
have matured, still we can have
a feeling of pride in those that
have been carried out.
National home demonstration
week was observed from April
30-May 6. As a national project,
extension club women decided
to send money to the United Na
tions international children s’
emergency fund to furnish vita
»nin foods, medical supplies, vac
cinations, etc., for the children of
Europe who are suffering from
malnutrition and diseases. Mon
ey for this fund was raised by
ieach club in various ways. Some
clubs held teas, some bake sales,
others served at farm sales, and
some took collections but the re
sult was the same: money for a
worthy cause.
The Holt county home ex
tension council desired to ac
quaint high school girls with
the fields open to them in home
eoonomics. A club woman in
eVlch community volunteered to
go into the high school and ex
plain this work.
The council purchased three
United States history pamphlets,
which were present under the
I direction of Laura Lane, of the
Country Gentleman magazine.
| These were sent with the dele
’ gates who attended the interna
‘ tional meeting at Copenhagen,
f Denmark. One of these delighful
little history books, which were
intended to show the people of
the world more of wha*. this
' country is like, was placed in
each of the three training cen
ters—Stuart, Atkinson and O’
Neill. The two Chambers clubs
also purchased one.
A kitchen tour with a state
spyialist, Miss Gersilda Guthree,
was conducted during the sum
mer. Several new and remodeled
kitchens were visited.
Last fall (Mrs. Clara Leopold,
a specialist from the college of
Agriculture, spent a day in the
county. At this meeting, women
were taught business (matters
concerning deeds, wills, and joint
ownership of property.
The council had at its f i r s f
meeting in January, 1950, a spec
ial recognition program for the
new state president, Mrs. Vein
Sageser, of Amelia.
Three delegates attended the
state home demonstration coun
cil meeting held at North Platte
in September.
A few of the clubs were able
to get exhibits to the county fair.
The Stuart Center was respon
sible for the making of a United
Nations flag which was display
ed at the achievement day pro
gram in October.
Three Holt County women at
tended the national meeting of
home demonstration clubs held
at Biloxi, Miss., in October.
The penny-for-friendship fund
for this county to help with the
expenses of the international
council was about $31.
The achievement day program
held October 26 in the O’Neill
high school gym was one of the
best. An international theme was
carried out in decorations, cos
tumes, and in the tea (or coffee
hour). The booths prepared by
the different clubs were out
standing. One booth drew trrtuch
attention and comment by their
original idea of dressing dolls in
costumes of other countries.
Individually the clubs erf the
county, which number around
25, have done many interesting
things, such as contribute to the
march of dimes, county polio
fund, Red Cross, overseas relief,
donations to needy at home, gifts
to local hospitals, Childrens hos
pital in Omaha and the Nebras
ka Children’s home.
Cheer in the way of cards, gifts
and visits was given to sick and
shut-in people.
Club women have given wed
ding and baby showers, made
scrapbooks, given parties, and
picnics for their communities,
held teas and food sales.
Some clubs adopted a boy or
■ girl or both who were victims of
I polio, rheumatic fever or other
wise handicapped these children
1 received a regular gift from the
club.
Many club meumtbers enjoy let
ters from pen pals in other coun
| tries.
The new year promises to be
] a full and interesting year. Many
i of the women will be giving a
i great deal of their time for
i worthwhile cause. They will al
so be learning many new and
more efficient ways of conduct
ing housework. Some of the in
formation to be given along this
line will be on “One Dish Meals,"
“Children’s Clothes,” “Sewing
Machine Attachments,” “Gyp
Artists,” “Kitchen Business Cen
ters,” and many others.
Just like the past year, 1951
promises to enrich the lives of
gll those who are active in home
demonstration work.
