23rd by 30 club members.
Mrs. Edith r. Chappalear, Pres
Of the Charles County Federation,
the State report Of Home Demonstrs
accomplishments Tor the year 1923
We wish to thank Mr. Laurie Mitch,
for the Tide Water Bus, and excellen
driver, who was most considerable on thu
trip, leaving La Plata at Z A. NJ, with a
short stop in Waldorf and Washington
The scenery through Charles, Prince
George, Montgomery and Frederick was
most beautiful and varied. The spring
blossoms OF cherry, peach, apple and pear
dotted the landscape of rolling hills, val
leys and plains with cloudy, misty clumps
OF color which added new beauty and de
light to the trip.
Our first view of Sugar Loaf Mountain
was over a brilliant green meadow, and
our considerable driver did not mind slow
ing up, so we might enjoy the view for a
longer time.
Upon our arrival in the quaint old city
Of Frederick we we're directed to the
Francis Scott-Key Hotel, where the Fed
Grafton was in session
At the lunch hour DR.. Louis Stanley,
head of the Bureau of Economics, was
presented to US US; also Mrs Mckin-
ney, several Home Demonstration agents
and numerous club women from other
counties.
In the early afternoon we adjourned
to Winchester Hall, where DR.. Stanley
addressed the club.
Miss Dorothy Emerson, Club Agent
from the University, spoke for a Jew
minutes on Girls Club Work, Its Stand
ards" ETC., telling us that Of course there
is really only one standard and that is
perfection in the work undertaken. Miss
Emerson asked the women OF the State
to take a greater interest in girls club
work by taking charge OF organized
clubs so as to give the Home Demonstra-
ton agent time to organize new clubs
and to perfect county organizations. Miss
Emerson said the girls are the house
keepers and mothers of tomorrow and II
we would reach better standard it will
require the assistance of the mothers OF
today.
Frances Hancock, former club girl
presented Julia Williams and Ann Mat
thews OF Kent County. They gave an
excellent cake team demonstration, and
while making the cake told us in their
own words OF how they had gotten to-
gether last summer, made cakes and sold
them to the amount Of SIS. This was
divided between them | thought, while
the girls were talking, what splendid
opportunity some OF our Charles County
girls are losing during the summer. There
would be a great demand along the State
roadside for any two or more progressive
girls to make money by selling cake and
lemonade to the city weekend tourist
and | want to say here, if any OF you
know OF any such two or more girls
wish you would communicate with me
and | will be glad to help them get then
start These two girls also won the TRIP
to Eastern States Exposition in Spring
field. Mass, last fall. Contests are now
on and the winning girls will be chose
some time during the late sum
less to say, Home DEM
is proud OF her girls if
ners of the State Fa
Team.
After this sess'
