DEMONSTRATION CLUBS
BEING ORGANIZED

A revival of domestic science IN
terest throughout the rural sections
of Newberry county has been initiated
by the newly appointed home demon
stration agent, Miss Marian S. Parish
of Virginia. During the first week of

ganized in four schools and arrange
ments made to organize similar clubs.

O'Neal taught by Mr.. Alden Pugh.
Club work will consist of demon
strations once a month. Following
this demonstration by the agent each
member of the club must accomplish
the lesson twice at home before tax
ing up the next subject. Because of
the lack of equipment at each school,
members of the club merely watch the
home demonstration agent give the
lesson.
Arrangements have been made with
prominent ladies in other sections of

ton of Womens' Home Demonstration
clubs. Meetings have been planned
when Miss Parish will outline the OBJ

ployed. The following meetings have

tie Cremer. The meeting at st. Phil
lips will also be held in the school
understhe leadership Of the principals
Miss Lottie Halfacre The ladies of
Tranwood will meet May in the
school house. Interest here in the
meeting is being developed by Mrs:
Clarence Matthews. II

embrace study of foods and food val
ues; development of home surround
ings and other problems relating to
the conduct of the home.
A community picnic will be held at
the Tabernacle school May 10 at
which. several clubs will be organized
among both the ladies and the school
girls. This meeting is being arranged
by Mrs. R. C. Miller who is taking a
keen interest in the work of the home
demonstration agent. .IG'
Miss. Parish outlined to- the pupils
of the. Jalapa, Monticello and Tran

club work, with the view to develop
ing interest in the work. Organiza-
tions have not as yet been perfected.
Visits were also made TO Midway
and to Little Mountain but as yet
clubs have not been organized. This
step it is expected will be taken with
in a short time.

is desirous of extending her work as
rapidly as possible and of helping in
