'sTATE LEADER coMpL1MENTED
By Mrs. ViOlette S. Campbell

l ~ n "a IIIlhD DEib 1oNuI
Miss Harriet G. Eddy Of the univer
sity extension division of the agricul
tural department, has been invited to
| address the General Federation at its
| biennial convention to be held in Chau
tauqua, New York, in June. Miss Eddy
! will accept the invitation if possible
| and will tell the delegates of this great
| assembly something of the aims and ac.
complishments of the farm home depart
| ments throughout California. She is
| especially gratified by the invitation
because she says, it shows the woman.
hood of the nation as represented by
the women IS clubs and the farm home
department, have mutual interests and
are cooperating together. in world work
of women.
Miss Eddy things one of the biggest
ideas in results, was born out of the
district convention held in FL Centre
in 1921. There the women of the home
department gave demonstrations and
exhibits which so excited the interest
of club women that they began to
clamOr for the instruction given cOun-
try women by the home agent and spe-
cialists at state and county expense.
For q time the situation was bit
tense when it was suggested by the
county president of Imperial Federation,
that trained project leaders in the var
ious centers might give instruction to
women of the towns, as the regularly
employed agent had her hands full in
home centers. That idea has borne
fruit, Miss Eddy says, and has developed
a wider interest in the educational work
of the department, bringing town and
country women together in mutual un-
derstanding and helpfulness.
Miss Eddy addressed the club leaders
in country life and home economics at
the state convention in Los Angeles be-
fore coming to Ell Centre for the Satur-
day meeting. She is enthusiastic over
the work being done by Center project
leaders throughout the state.
