AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
The Annual Meeting


Homemakers is the Fall Annual
Meeting to be held at the Sherwood
High School on Friday, October
oath, from 10 A. M. to $3.50 P. M.
This is election year for the
President, Vice President and
Treasurer. The candidates are
Mrs. Howard Smith of the Four
Corners Club, County Council
President; Mrs. Wilton O,Calla-
CHAN of the Wheaton Club for
Vice-President, and Mrs. Leslie
Mullican of the Gaithersburg Club
for Treasurer.
The retiring officers are Mrs. C.
M. Upton of the Poolesville-
GAINESVILLE Dickerson Club; Miss
Rebecca Leaman of the German
town Club, LIST Vice-President, and
Miss Frances Wolfe of the Whea-
ton Club, Treasurer.
This group of retiring officers
has done a very fine piece of
work. One of the most effective
things accomplished was the CO.
operation of all the 26 club presi-
dents in the Council in having the
Council meet monthly instead of
four times year. This has stimu-
lated the accomplishments in all
the clubs to reach a new peak of
carry-over of the project work in
the program. Another accomplish
ment that has been of great value
are the talks Mrs. Upton has had
each Social Agency in the County
give before the Council on the pur-
pose and service given by that
Agency. This has acquainted all
our rural people with the whole
program of social agencies.
The T. B. Chest X-Ray Program
was sponsored by the Homemakers
under Mrs. Tipton's guidance and
the Health Program on Cancer was
instigated in the clubs by her.
Another accomplishment was the
cooperation with the Red Cross
when all the clubs responded to
Mrs. Tipton's request that the
clubs make 800 dozen cookies for
the Christmas activities at the Ma
val Hospital. The clubs sent $4,000
dozen.
Projects such as these have en-
Outraged every Homemaker Club
member to do something for her
club and to feel that she is a part
of the group.
The summary Of the project
work will be given next week after
the Annual Meeting. III
