The Officers of the Homemakers'
Clubs in Cecil County met at the
Office in Elkton, on Monday, Feb
ruary 7th. Miss Venia M. Kellar,
State Home Demonstration Agent
from the University OF Maryland
gave an exceedingly interesting talk.
She would like all Homemakers'
Clubs in Maryland to be standard or
to work for that end.
She says, I'VE must work from
the bottom up. The only thing that
mas been made successfully from the
top down is grave
Therefore each member should
take on certain individual RESPONSE
Dll1t1es such as regular attendance
at club meetings, be prompt, answer
20 roll call, carry on home demon
strations, keep and make reports of
work to club secretary. Miss Kellar
stressed the club goals for the year.
she said we should have good
ofhcers and all club members stand
back OF them. Miss Kellar saws.
We always have good officers but
The difficulty lies in the club
members not backing them. Have
active committees. Each club
should have a chairman on each of
the following: 1st Nutrition, End
Clothing, Srd Miscellaneous. These
chalrmen should report to the coun-
~ chairman on their project. For
instance, the nutrition chairman of
Zach club stress the need of a club
1udget. At the beginning Of the
Jear make out budget. Two
1ollars for county federation dues
and SO on, the things you know you
1re going to have to pay during
NE year. Also pay your club dues
1t the first meeting of the year.
Ahen use the score card to help
make all clubs standard.
Miss Kellar also discussed the
county goals, some of which we have.
others we are working for. A very
interesting discussion into which
everyone entered followed Miss
-Aellar's talk. During the social
line which ensued, tea and small
axes were served. Eighteen ladies

clubs at this meeting as follows.

SNOW, HAIL, RAIN AND
SLEET
Roads Blocked-Wire Service
Badly Crippled y

Driven by a furious gale the
storm that was general throughout
the Eastern section OF the country.
swept over this section Saturday
night, and ragged for hours. There
was heavy precipitation of snow,
hail, rain and sleet.
Roads throughout the county
were badly blocked but are being
opened to travel as rapidly as
possible.
Telephone, telegraph and electric
lines were hard hit, wires and poles
being down in all directions, and
the service badly crippled.
Electric service was entirely cut
off for several hours Monday morn
ing. Large forces of linemen are
at work and things are gradually
assuming normal again.
In point of damage done wire
service and the blocking of our
roads, it was the worst storm of the
winter. Fortunately it was not
bitterly cold, and there was some
degree of comfort derived from this
aspect of the storm.

FIRE COMPANY CELEBRATES
WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
Very Enjoyable Concert and Social
Held

The Community Fire Company
observed Washington Birthday by
very delightful concert and social
held in the public hall of this town
Tuesday evening, that was enjoyed
by members and friends to the
number of about one hundred and
fifty.
President R. c. Dodson welcomed
the assemblage and gave a brief
report of the fires responded to
during the past year by the
Company.
Chester County, Pa, Fire Chief
Soule was present, and in his talk
gave some practical suggestions for
fire prevention in the home, stressing
the Importance of care in the use of
irons, curriers', heating, cooking and
other electric appliance. He also told
a very simple manner of cleaning
ehimneys and putting out chimney
lire. This can be done by firing a
revolver up the. chimney, or even
exploding fire-crackers in the chin
ney. The concussion will loosen the
SCOT and cause it to fall to bottom
of the chimney, the fine SCOT being
driven out. Be sure to close all
pipe holes in chimney first, or the
housewife will have job cleaning
up, as the SCOT will fly under force
of the explosion.
Rev. ]. c. Mccoy was called on
and responded with few remarks
in happy vein.
The program was interspersed
with several selections by the band.
Prof. Schlosser, director of the
band, also favored the company with
two violin solos.
Ice cream and cake were served,
each guest receiving little souvenir
n the form of a miniature hatchet
IN the national colors.
The hall was prettily decorat-
ed, the usual dingy room being
transformed to one of beauty by
artistic arrangement of shields on

men," draped with the red, white
md blue on the wall in the rear of
the hall.
The decorating scheme was evol-
yed by Anthony Manguette and the
lssemblage was so pleased with it's
beauty and effectiveness that Mr.
Manguette was given a rising vote
of thanks.
The occasion proved very en-
loyable social one, everyone voting
IL success, even those from a
distance, who had to brave the
miserable conditions of the roads,
ieeming themselves well repaid.
