Mr. Arthur Boehm. of the State
Food Administrators office, and Mrs
c. G. Rector. Acting Home Economics
Director for Maryland, motored down
from Baltimore yesterday afternoon to
meet the members of the Home Eco
nomics Committee of the Woman s
Club
AS the Club is not yet occupying
their new rooms in the Annapolis
Bank, the meeting was held informal
ly in the Office of the Maryland Coun-
Gil of Defense.
Mrs. Rector has recently been ap-
pointed 10 the post which she holds on
the staff of the Food Administration
for the express purpose of more close
ly uniting that organization with the
Woman's Section of the Maryland
Council of Defense and the Extension
Bureau of the Maryland State College
With many plans for more and bet
ter work along home economic lines
Mrs Rector has secured funds for as
sisting in the establishment of model
or community kitchens throughout the
State, the idea being that in this way
sufficiently large amount of canning
and drying would be done to really
count.
Persons who lacked either the
means or the knowledge could bring
their materials to the community kit
chen and have them canned in the
pressure cooker or dried in the de-
hydrating machinery easily and quick
ly. Some cooperative plan can be
worked out whereby the club could be
reimbursed for the use of its room
and for the assistance of it's commit
tee. In any event both canning and
drying will be greatly stimulated and
a much larger amount of food will be
conserved.
When told that the Woman's Clut
had already started just such an un-
dertaking and that the chairman OF
the committee in charge was none
other than the County Demonstration
herself. Mrs. Rector expressed her
self as delighted, and said that she
would present the committee with 8
steam pressure cooker and dehydra
tor. Mr.. Boehms gift to the kitchen
will be a three-burner oil stove. The
committee feels that it owes him 9
vote of thanks.
