from the rest of the world by the first
storm of the winter, but this latest
achievement has suddenly emphasized
the possibility of regular winter noun
tain trips in the future. Accepting the
challenge of William Cline. a we'll
known sportsman of that region. who
offered a loving cup TO the first mo-
tor vehicle to make the dash after a
violent snow storm, a. party of six men
attempted the trip in a Moreland
truck. Although the snow was so deep
on some of the grades as to cause the
truck TO slide backwards with the
wheels revolving forwards the fight
was finally won. When the truck was
placed on exhibition at the Orange
Show at San Bernardino, many per
sons were skeptical as to the territory
it had covered owing to the splendid
condition of the Goodyear tires With
which it was equipped.

At no other time in the history of
clubdom has the home economics de-
partment been of as great importance
as at the present time. The national
situation has forced women to realize
the part work of this type plays in
national affairs and a closer study will
be outlined for the department in eV

cot, chairman of the department of the
state federation has sent notices TO all
clubs calling attention to the growing
importance of the work Her notice
in part reads:
IN these days of economic pressure
when the country looks to women, as
never before, for cooperation in Sc
curing domestic efficiency and indus
trial preparedness, the club women
can render no more patriotic service
than to earnestly promote home eco

work embraces some phase of home
economies. for home economies, in its
larger significance embraces infinite
" more than cooking, sewing or any
household activity, important as these
may be, especially at this time. 1t in

make up right living-the only means
of insuring human efficiency and hap
piness Surely subject broad and
deep enough to claim the attention of
all women.
This department therefore recon-
mends, that where not already exist
ing and if possible, home economics
department be organized and that at
least four or five home economics pro-
grams be given before the general club
during the year.
A few suggested activities:
Cooperate with other departments
and organizations in celebrating Baby
Week, May l to 8, and promoting Red
Cross work Cooperate with exten-
promoting boys and girls clubs home
and school gardens and home canning
Other important subjects are: Food
sanitation. food conservation home
budget. child welfare, better dress
standards and measures to combat the
high cost of living.
II shall be the aim of this depart

workers of the federation closer to-
gether to secure cooperation between
