Ity may have a better understanding
of the organization of the Woman IS
Council that is being formed by the
home demonstration agent, Miss Par
ker, this explanation of the work will
be given.
The council shall consist of a repre-
sentative from the various organiza-
tions in the county, such as parent
teachers associations, woman s clubs,
oranges or any organized group of wo-
men. These representatives will meet
and elect officers, formulate plans and
discuss certain definite projects of
work that may be carried on through
out the county.
Such q council would direct the ac-
Ftivities of the home demonstration
agent in so far as offering suggestions
relative to different phases of the
work, that would be most beneficial to
their respective communities. Subjects
of vital interest to the housewife will
be considered, for example, substitu-
tions, demonstrations in canning and
drying, keeping household accounts,
labor saving devices, the school lunch
con, feeding the family group or SINH
lar problems that will mutually bene-
fit the homemaker will be taken up
and discussed.
An organization of this sort should
be helpful to the women in this county
and since the office of the home demon
stration agent is supported entirely by
the federal government the communi-
ties represented will not be obhgating
themselves in q financial way. Their
cooperation is sought to help further
the work of the home demonstration
agent.
