Fifty young ladies Of York county,
members of various home demonstra-
tion clubs throughout the county, ar
rived in Yorkville, Tuesday afternoon
and Wednesday morning to attend the
three day short course for Home
Demonstration Club Girls, held at the
Yorkville Graded school. The school
comes to close this afternoon when
the final session will be held and the
young ladies will return to their
rcspectvc homes. 1t was the idea to
house t students in tents and three
army pyramidal tents and large tent
borrowed from the York County: Fair
Association were pitched on the school
grounds Tuesday afternoon by a local
committee. Because of the fact how
ever. that the weather was very
threatening Tuesday night and the
floods came Wednesday morning, 1t
was decided to move the students into
the Graded School building for
quarters and Wednesday afternoon the
halls in the building had the appear
ance Of regular army barracks, while
one of the rooms in the basement had
been converted into a cook room where
the experts in charge Of the short
course gave the girls instructions IN
cooking.
The short course. held for home
demonstration workers this week was
the. first ever held in Yorkville, ana
because Of the large attendance and
the hearty cooperation given by local
townspeoplc it was stated wednesday
afternoon by Miss Juanita Nicely, York
County Woman's Home Demonstration
agent in charge that 1t might hereafter
be an annual affair.
Praise for YorkviIIe.
az have never had finer cooperation
in my work anywhere than that given
me here" said Miss Nicely in speaking
of the work. People have been prompt
to give us any assistance that wo
might need. Local merchants have
been very very generous and the peo-
pic Of the town generally have mani
tested much interest and given US such
a hearty welcome that it has proved
an inspiration to us. My assistants in
this work, myself and all Of the girls
in attendance appreciate very highly
the reception accorded us here"
1t was suggested by the county home
demonstration agent that it, was posi-
bic that another year arrangements
would be made with the county farm
demonstration agent whereby members
of the Boys clubs Of the county might
co-operate with the girls in the insti-
tutc and a programme providing for
work of both boys and girls in a three
day short course be made. That how
ever, is a matter for the future.
The girls attending the three day
institute began to arrive shortly after
diner Tuesday and the directors were
busy registering them and collecting
supplies and getting every thinG
settled for their. entertainment and
comfort. A. picnic lunch was served at
