STATEMENT OF WORK
DONE BY THE LOCAL
HOME ECONOMIC CLUB

AS we have devoted all our time
to work this summer, the members Of
our club have heard scarcely anything
pertaining to the business end of it
in justice to them and to those VIII,
have contributed so literally to tn,
work, the committee has decided t.
have a complete statement of cas'
received and conservation work done
published in The Record.
To some, we expect, the report t'
be disappointment, as many exag
gerated statements have been made
regarding the work and some rather
amusing instances have accrued as ;
result of such statements. For in
stance, we received one order for tw,
thousand pounds of dried corn, lib
eral estimate of the amount drie,
throughout the entire county thi.
year. It has also been stated that W,
have conserved thousands of quarts d
fruit. When we consider that onl,
about fifteen class periods of abou
four hours each were held and som,
times with only ten members pres
ent, we are sure that those who hav,
done similar work will be both sur
prised and pleased with what we have
accomplished.
While the committee worked dill
gently from the time of their appoint
ment until the fruit was stored away
three things contributed largely IL
the success. In the first place, III,
City Council gave us great send-of
in the form Of hundred dollars
Second, Mr.. Homer turned over the
keys to the Domestic Science building
to us, also the surplus vegetables o.
the. B. A. C. garden. Third, the best
county demonstration in the state is
member of our committee and super
vised our work.
Many ladies of the town who haC
never been members contributed will
lingly to the cause by donations o!
labor.
Two hundred sixteen quarts of pea
ches and some juices were furnished
and put up by the ladies from Hur
ricane under the direction Of Sister
Alice Isom; the committee feeling that
by the cooperation of the two town.
the club furnishing the bottles ant
sugar and Hurricane the fruit ant
labor that it would be a means OF
lessening the cash expenditure ant
increasing the amount of fruit con
served.
At the State Fair we had twenty
five varieties of dried products anC
one hundred sixteen bottles of fruit.
and meats, with no two alike. Fol
the fist named the Utah Idaho Sug
ar Company gave special prize of {
twenty-five dollar oil painting which
may be seen at present hanging il
the Presidents office at the b. A. c
We were awarded thirteen ribbons ant
ten dollar prize for the exhibit a!
second place in third class counter
so we feel that the extra time in tn,
preparation of the exhibits for tn,
State and also for our County fair
was justified, not alone in the prizes
but in the service we rendered on
county and state in contributing GU
part as one of the twenty eight coun
ties and in advertising our own par
ticular locality.
