Up String Beans And Car
rots. What Club Aims At

while the rooms OF the Woman's
Club of Anne Arundel County in the
Annapolis Bank Building were filled
yesterday afternoon with interested
and attentive women, yet those women
were mostly adopts i'm the knowledge
of food conservation and preservation
1t is largely women who do not
know how to can aud dry vegetables
and fruits who are wanted TO come to
these canning demonstrations. which.
from time to time. will be conducted
in the club room.
Yesterday Mrs. Joshua Linthicum,
County Demonstration of Home Eco
nomics. gave a demonstration in can
ming and drying string beans and car
rots. She talked freely as she worked
in sight of all present.
After the luncheon there was card
party, and bridge, 500 and other games
will be played.
What the Club stands for is outlined
by working member. who said:
Ladies of the county, have you
sometimes wished for place to rest
and refresh when visiting Annapolis?
Why not visit the Womens Club over
the new hank and so become acquaint-
ed with other ladies of the county.
"The question arises, what Is the
Club? Who can join it? What are
its objects?
THE principal reason for the or
ganization of the Club was to furnish
rest room for out-of-town ladies
shopping in Annapolis. The rooms
were given by Mr.. Holiday and the
canning and drying outfit for the COM
munity kitchen by the Food Admins
tration and the Council of Defense
For this reason there are held at the
Club weekly demonstrations of can
ming and drying conducted by experts
These demonstrations are on Mondays
at 3 o'clock, and are free to anyone in
terested. Anybody, whether member
or not, can bring their jars, rubbers
and vegetables and fruit and use the
facilities the community kitchen Of
fers. A new steam pressure canner
is to be installed and as the Home
Economics Committee is responsible
to the Food Administration for its
proper use, it is requested that those
desiring to take advantage of this won
derful opportunity communicate with
Mrs. Richard Wainwright, Naval Acad-
emy, phone 20, any morning. AS IL
will be necessary to use gas or oil for
these purposes it has been suggested
that each person using the community
kitchen outfit leave one jar of their
products in payment.
In order to fully outfit the kitchen
of the Club, luncheons are served
every Tuesday at 1890. The price OF
these luncheons is thirty-five cents,
very moderate one in these times for
really good lunch. Besides that, it
affords pleasant opportunity to be-
come better acquainted with ladies of
other parts of the county. In order to
make these luncheons as great a
| financial success as possible the mem
bers of the Home Economics Commit
tee will be very glad to receive dona-
tions of produce from members of the
| Club. Such supplies as are not used
at the luncheons will be sold for the

is once on it's feet it has been thought
possible to organize a Ladies' Ex-
change, but until then it will be neces-
sary to make the Club self-supporting.
1t may be interesting to say here that
the members of the Home Economics
Committee gladly give their services
to making these iuncheons a success
and IL they can get the cooperation of
the county women the Club is bound
to go over the top in a short time.
After the luncheons there are to be
weekly card parties, beginning at 2:30
o'clock. The charge for the same is
twenty-five cents for playing per per-
son and ten cents for refreshments.
Each table to furnish it's own cards
and score cards until the Club is able
to provide these.
I'm order not to waste any food
/ everybody is asked to notify Mrs. T.
j. Linthicum, phone 610. if they desire
reservations for either lunch or cards.
and those who will be generous enough
to give the committee some of their
produce please also notify Mrs. Lin
thicum. The committee. of course,
understands that it is not always pos
sible for county members to know
ahead Of time IL they will be in town
on Tuesdays, weather and other cir
cumstances prevent that, and those are
asked to call up the Club, phone
| 923-J, or Mrs Linthicum, as soon as
they reach town so that proper pro-
vision can be made for their comfort
We are all working for splendid
cause and team work always tells"
