There were miles and miles of

Huffman, Home Economics extension
food specialist, supervised the meet
ings. Odors of good things cooking
filled the air besides the happy laugh
ter and murmur of voices. Cabbage
was king at these meetings. 1t was
prepared into II delicious dishes in
tewenty minutes. Every woman pres
ent prepared one dish. These were
served with some other foods at the
midday meal, where the preparation
Of these dishes was discussed furth-
er. After everything was cleaned up
spick and span, all were ready for
