The County Federation Of commu
Unity clubs met with the Victoria
i club in an all day session at til,
Rubertel school building on Jan
In 1922.
| This Nas the first regular bust
mess meeting Of the Federation and
! the following officers were elected
1 Mrs. John Sandy coyington. Presi-
1 dent.
Mrs. w. B. covington, First Vice
] president.
Mrs. James L. Mcdonald, Second
IVice.President.
Mrs. 7. j. Fletcher, Third Vice.
President
Mrs. Allie Davis, Secretary.
At the morning session the Dis,
trict Agent, Mrs. Morris, gave very
interesting lecture on jelly making,
jelly stock and paste A great many
new things have been learned about
! this subject a few Of which she told
us were: How to keep crystals from
| forming; how to make clear jelly,
that will retain its ciearness; how
to make brilliant jelly OF the prop
en- texture. She made her talk more
impressive by showing that print
could be clearly seen through a
glass Of Jelly made by these new
recipes. All who contemplate max
ing jellies would do we'll to get a
copy Of the new bulletin on this
subject from Mrs. Covington.
Immediately after Mrs. Morris
Mrs. Redeem from Arson county,
made a short talk, giving the ladies
two ideas for making some money
at home. The first was to grow
broom corn and make brooms&the
corn is easily grown and directions
for making brooms are very sim
ple--the brooms, SO she says, sell
readily for one dollar each, and are
really a bargain to the purchaser as
two brooms last year.
The second way to make PIN
Money was by making and selling
homemade rugs she had one very
pretty rug to demonstrate her sub
ject this, rug being made by lady
in Arson county.
Delicious lunch was served to the
visiting clubs by the ladies OF the.
Victorian club. The lunch consisted
of baked chicken, sandwiches,
boiled ham, cake, pickles, hot coffee,
etc.
In the afternoon MIS-. heulefn
gave a demonstration, showing how
to mix and cook an Angels Food
cake. Besides being delicious, this
cake has much TO recommend it,
IIt & economical and IS especially
suitable for children or those who
cannot eat the richer cakes. AS the
whites only OF the eggs are ased.
She also demonstrated the making
of mayonaise dressing in order to
use the yolks. This demonstration
completed the business part OF the
meeting
The Federation is to meet quarter
Fly the next meeting to be with the
Jane McKinnon club at the Har-
rengton school house on Nov. rs,
1922. S
With Mrs. Aohn Sandy Covington
as our president we may expect
each meeting to be full OF good
things because She never does
things By halvesMrs. Covington
| is doing a splendid work in this
this, country and each club member
can truthfully say that she or nc
thas learned many new things from
her work. At this next meeting,
each club in the county is especial
ly urged to come or at least send
delegates.
These meetings are not to be con
fined entirely to business--the real
purpose is to bring the women Of
| the county together so that they
may become better acquainted.
The country women as a rule are
too much inclined to shut them
selves within the four wallis Of their
homes 1.-THE longer they do this the
more behind times they feel--
soon they find themselves too timid
lbeeause of this feeling to care for
