Community Committee Chosen a
Extension School

Extensiou School
The Abingdon Extension School,
| tarting Tuesday of last week and end
| ing Friday night, was more success
full than last year, inspite Of the tray
cling conditions. An average attend
| anee Of men and women of 10 day,
making a total attendance of over
$50. made the school highly successful
not only from the standpoint of num-
bers, but from the standpoint Of en-
thusiasm.
The school showed itself TO be an
agricultural business proposition by
the organization that took place on
the last day. With the feeling that
there was need Of even more COM
plete direction of the agricultural
projects ii the town, TO be carried on
comparatively with the Windham
County Farmers Association the fol-
lowing Community Committee was ap-
pointed TO work with John X. Stron-
berg. Abingdon, Town Director Of the
Windham County Farmers Assoeia-
ton: F. X. Hsines, Fruit Project
Leader; Walter f. Brown, Poultry
Project Leader; Frank Chism, Dairy
Project Leader; Howard White, Soils
and Crops Project Leader
The women were no less business
like than the men in regard to organ
ization, and appointed Women's
Committee composed Of Mrs. Elliott,
Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Amidon, to
work comparatively with Mrs. Willis
Coven. womens' Town Director for
the Windham County Farmers Asso-
eiatien. The thing that will take
most of their attention at the present
time is the promotion of hot lunches
for the town schools.
Both the mems and women's COM
mittees. are to meet within a short
time for the consideration of their
projects more in detail.
Everett +. Brown, chairman OF the
school, who so successfully and ABLY
directed the program, gave a short
talk at the close of the school on his
observations. Mr.. Brown felt that he
Rad ..cted complete response by
those that attended, which was mani
tested in the many questions that
were asked the speakers. He said he
believed the Extension Schools held
the nast two years had been very
fine thing for the town of AbiAvton;
and his views were completely upheid
by John r. Stromberg, and two who
spoke for the women's section.
When Mr.. Brown called for vote
as to whether the college should De
asked for an Extension School next
wear. il was with enthusiasm that
those present expressed themselves IA
vorably.
The women's section of the Abing-
ton Extension School was very well at
tended. considering the poor condi-
ton of the roads. Many walked sew
eral miles, as they could get there
neither in a sleigh nor an auto. There
were at least eight, and maybe more,
who had a perfect attendance during
the whole school session.
Miss HAYES showed some interest
ing things in short cuts in sewing, ana
all had practice in making some OF
them. Button holes proved the most
fascinating and the most difficult TO
master. But the women wernt to De
phased. and came back the next morn
ing to report that they could make
them they had practised the night be-
fore at home.

LONDON. Nov. 3O.--Yet another
epoch in the history OF woman's
achievement was marked recently al
the Fishmonger's Hall when a ga

For the first time on record a num-
ber OF women leaders in the realms
of art, science. medicine. business and
the professions "stood the racket"
for long luncheon menu, thus as
serting their claim to equal recogni-
tion with leading men.
The Lady Mayoress of London was
one OF the hostesses and her husband
accompanied her as her guest. Dame
Margaret Lloyd George, present by
right OF her own public work and not
from the reflected glory OF her hus-
bands premiership. brought with her
as guest DR.. Addison. the minister OF
health. Viscountess Burnham. repre-
senting women in journalism.
brought as guest her husband. Lord
Burnham. Lady Northcliffe was pres
ent in her capacity as president OF
the Society of Women Journalists.
Women doctors, surgeons, scien-
lists, artists, singers. authors, ac-
tresses. were all represented and
there is hardly a field of endeavor
which was not present and represent
ed by its feminine leader.
