Club Head Urges All
to Fight Home Work Cut

The following letter has been sent
to the president of every woman ;
club belonging 20 the California
Federation of Women S Clubs:
Dear Madam President:
II have reason to believe that
tie appropriation for home demon
stration work has been seriously cut
and possibly entirely eliminated
from the state budget by the state
board of control. The promition of
home demonstration is an important
part of the state and general fed
Grafton program. 1t is possilI" even
after the announcement of the state
budget to have the appropriation
inserted.
"Will you not use your influence

End to members of the state board
of control urging replacement of the
appropriation needed to maintain
home demonstration int othc prOvis-
ions for the extension division of
the College of Agriculture Please
ask others to do likewise.
Sincerely yours,

Fl Centro Chapter of p. f. o.,

the world in fact was opposed to
anything but the most rudimentary
education for girls. The young wo-
men saw and felt the injustice in
their hearts and minds.

Mrs. konoid Surprised On
EUe of LedUing by ShO,Uer

Mrs. A. l.. konod, who is leavin.
this week to live in Pasadena, was
delightfully."- surprised last night by
the junior Sunday school depart
ment of State Street church and
Mrs. Rayburn s class.
\ handkerchief shower was stag
ed, the beloved superintendent of
the department being literally snow
cd under by the dainty gifts that
were but a small token of the love
of the children and teachers who
have been with Mrs. Konold in the
department. The new supcrintcnd
cut, Mrs. Goodwin brought oodlcs
of cookies which were served with
other Refreshments.
Mrs. Konold has been Il wonderful
leader and her going away is regret
ted by everybody in church work.
The juniors have been led into real
and JOYOUS service under her direct
ing influence. She has given to
them as their motto, BE We doers
of the word and not hearers only. =
and they have done much under its
inspiration.
They are giving flowers and good
cheer TO the sick of FL Centre this
year rs special mission, besides
many other things. Mrs. Koncld
saws that she regrets more and more
to leave them as the time of going
approaches but that she feels that
they will be in good hands with Mrs.
Goodwin as superintendent, and
Mrs. Hodge, Mrs. Vaughn, Mrs.
sheppard, Mrs. Moore, Miss Martin
and Miss Rayburn as teachers.
The kono!dS go to Pasadena to
educate their sons, the eldest of
whom will enter the California
School of Technology. They have
lived in FL Centre for years and will
be greatly missed, especially in the
State street church where Mrs. Ko-
mold and the boys have been most
active and helpful throughout the
wears.
