Dishwashing Project
Proves Time Saver

The household management project
of the Kennebec Farm Bureau women
has made larger progress in this past
year then ever before in the history
of the organization in this county,
according to Miss Helen L. Clark,
Home Demonstrations agent of the
Extension Service and the Farm
Bureau.
Practically every community where
a women's division of the Farm Blu
reau exists, has taken up some
phase of the work. The sum totals
show that &c meetings to make fire.
less cookers have been held and
have been attended by POS persons.
They have made. SO fireless cookers.
In addition to the rreless cookers,
testing circles have been formed in
five places. The work includes the
testing of various articles such as
stainless pairing knives, mop wiring
ers, potato ricerS and bread mixers.
The women have, as the result of
these testing circles, purchased q
different articles.
Dish washing demonstrations with
the object of eliminating unnecessary
motions, have been held with sue
cess. The process followed was that
the women taking the project washed
dishes by their own method keeping
account of the time. The secona
week they washed dishes by the
project method, suggested by the EX-
tension Service. The records show
that in every instance, time was
saved although the records Of the
exact amount have not yet been COM
piled.
Household management meetings
were held with IS people attending
and the subjects included table set
ting. pressure cooking, household
suggestions, housekeeping hints and
household furnishing.

COny Informed of
Subject for Debate
in BOwdOin League

Word has been received from the
officials of the Bowdoin Interschola3-
tic Debating League in which the
Cony high debating team has been
entered, stating the question which
will be debated this year in that
league.
This question is, Resolved, that
the United States should grant rec
ognition to the government Of Rus
sia". Each school will as in former
years have both an affirmative and
negative team on this subject.
Cony high school has in the past
few years developed wonderfully in
debating and this year it is the hope
of the students to continue the fine
work. The Cony High Debating So
ciety, which meets once a week, was
formed primarily to further debating
among the students and to help in
the preparation of those students
who make up the Cony team in both
the Bates and the Bowdoin Inter-
scholastic Debating Leagues. Differ
ent members Of the society take part
in debate at each meeting, Nhus
giving the teachers in charge Of this
work chance to get line on the
available material for this years
team.
Many or the best debaters in the
school have been lost through gradu-
alton. Merritt Hewitt, woh won the
distinction Of being termed the best
DICTATOR in the schools of the state,
graduated. Sanford Fogg. one Of his
team mates. Elizabeth Shorey, who
was one of the best debators last year
and others, have left the school
| through graduation. Ernest Church,
the president of the society this year,
and Charles Nelson, represented the
school last year. but they are the only
ones Of the last years team who re-
main. Several of the members Of the
society this year were on the squad
last year and with this material and
the new raw material which has en-
tered the school this year, Cony High
viii no doubt have very creditable
debating teams.
