AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS

WISH edcn OF you mad the
privilege of going to all the "a
homemaker clubs and hearing the
inspirational reports and things
done by our club members. Miss
Bertha Brown, President of the
Olney Sunshine Club opens her
club with reading of some piece
of fine poetry.
Let Me G7'Ow Lovely
Let me grow lovely, growing old
So many fine things do;
Laces, and ivory, and gold,
And silks need not be new.
There is healing in old trees,
Old streets glamour hold;
Why may not L, as well as these
Grow lovely, growing old?
Karle Wilson Baker
Another piece of praise is due
our club members for their cooper.
alton in expressing to their legis.
lators their opinion on the State
Aid to Schools Bill. When you
think through your community
needs and voice opinion, you are
making democracy work.

Mrs. Edwin Matthews, project
demonstration, gave delightful
lesson on pie making we've been
making them for years but we
found we still had new things to
learn. Mrs. Matthews brought
pies previously made, so all had a
generous piece. The finished
product was equally as inviting
and was ratified off to pay for
the expense. 1t was won by Mrs.
Joe Halter, much to the dis
appointment OF the other 20.
AS a direct result of this meet
ing, more pics will probably be
made this weekend than have been
made all month. 1t was a very
worthwhile afternoon.
