allowed as everyone enjoyed the
exquisite collection.
The program was of high standard
throughout 1T started on Wednes-

P. Gorsuch gave the address of well
come in his usual happy style. We
were sorry Mr.. Patterson could not
be present to respond. DR.. Woods,
President of the Maryland State Col

the reconstruction work for the far

the women was held in an adjoining
room Miss Madge Reese, specialist
from the U. :. Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. c., was pres

facts were brought out in regard to

believe that one quart of milk equals
in food value eggs, 3% lbs. cab

l 40 TBS. bananas, and Il ID. Of beef
steak; Or"<that a quart of skim

lbs bananas, 2A TBS. chicken, 3 3-5

port. We were all sorry that the

crowded Mr.. Wolcott gave a short
talk on the Tubercular Tested Herd
The Junior Home-Maker's Club o

entitled the Milk Fairies. Miss Clet

= Friday was also4a big day. ALI af
ternoon and evening the people were
viewing the exhibits. 1t was known
as Rural Life Day. In the Afternoon
Dr. Bomberger gave one of the finest
- fIon hn
of how a Rural Community car
Better the Social Life. He was followed
i by Rev. Scofeld, who explained the
work of the Inter-Church World
Movement of which he is State Su
pervisor. The idea of unity among
churches of all denominations is moi
new, but L believe the first definite
step has been taken by this organiza-
tion and that Carroll county should
show that they can lay aside their
creeds and work together with any
Christian Denomination in this
cause. AT the same time the women
had meeting, the subject Of which
was "a Social Center or Community
Room. Mrs. Chas. Peltz, president
of the women's section of the Advi-
sorry Council, presided. The subject
was discussed informally by Miss
Day, Mrs. Yoder, Mrs. J. T.. Myers
Mrs. Mather, and Mrs. F. Fenby. The
consensus of opinion was that we
should have community center in
Westminster and many had in view
a community building in which
should center the civic, social and
educational affairs with city and
country. 1t was decided to call Il
meeting of the women of Westmins-
ter and every section OF the county,
and have an all days meeting to
discuss this proposition. At this
time we will try to secure speakers
who are familiar with this type OF
work. We hope to have representa-
tives from communities i'm which it
has been tried This meeting will be
called by the Home Demonstration
Agent as soon after the holidays as
possible.
At night a crowded house greeted
MIR. Scofield and Miss Day and the
entertainers Tha Blue Ridge qaurtet
gave two fine selections and Miss
Margaret Snader of New Windsor
entertained with one OF her delight
full readings, and Mr.. Scofeld's ad-
dress on the Interlation of Home,
School, and the Church, was much
appreciated. Miss Days subject was
the Business Of Living, and she
presented her subject i'm her own
original way from many different
view points. Few Of us stop to think
