versity training III home econom-
les, but by a background of prac-
tical work in this field as well as
by home-making of her own, Mrs
| Laughton has come to be looked
upon by her contemporaries as one
Of the outstanding home econom-
lists of the west.
In the words OF Mrs. Wright,
Mrs. Cathrine Carter Laughton
combines the viewpoint of youth
ful enthusiasm with the mellowinG
influence of experience. Since at
tending the University of Washing
ton. where she specialized in home
economics, she has not only en-
loved the responsibilities of main
tanning her own home. but she has
added to her training and her OVID
domestic life the Invaluable knoWl-
edge that come with public con-
facts in home economics work. We
are very proud indeed to have such
capable person as a member OF
our staff and We believe that the
housewives of El Centro will be
able to profit greatly from the in
spring course she is bringing ana
will. in addition. enjoy her fascin-
ating method of presentation TO the
utmost"
Mrs. Laughton's experience, fol-
lowing her university work, began
with the professional planning CT
parties. teas, receptions and other
affairs for social leaders in tho
Pacific northwest and broadened to
include children's menus and par
ties. Achieving wide fame for her
abilities along these lines, her eX-
tensive domestic science training
asserted itself in further extend
ing the scope of her work until she
became known as one OF the out
standing home economists on the
Pacific coast. She is now in her
third year as member of the Safe
way Stores Homemakers' bureau,
was an associate editor of the bu-
reau's famous cookbook Recipes
You'll Enjoy" has given two courses
in "Kitcheneering" in California
and Nevada territories, and has ac-
quired an enviable reputation gen.
orally in home economics circles.
