Members of the Harbeson Home
Demonstration Club made a real
contribution to the defense pro-
gram in 1912, according to the
report given by the clubs defense
chairman, Mrs. Edith Barker. at the
January meeting.
Twenty-nine of the thirty-five
members of the club had gardens.

for home produced food. From
these gardens, 1412 quarts of vege-
I tables were canned for winter use.

the WINTER months so that the
members and other women in the
community might do Red Gross

buttons and small sewing equip
ment. bake was held and $19.30
raised for this purpose. Over 200
garments were made during these
meetings.

munity for the Georgetown Civilian
Defense drive. Several of the club
members are taking their turns at
the observation post in HarbesOn,
and all of the members made their
contribution to the 1859 pounds of
scrap rubber collected in the COM
munity.

zines and "a books TO the Victory
Book campaign last year.
