Food editors all over the United
States are back at their desks this
week assembling and organizing the
information passed on to us dur
ing the New York conference. Look
ing at convention week" in retro
spect, in my opinion, it was the
most successful conference We have
attended. From the opening day
when the New York girls bade us
welcome to the final session when
executives Of the New York papers
said good-by, we were hard at It
gathering material for future food
columns. We were given a wealth
of information on the research work
the food manufacturers are doing
throughout the country. the results
Of their findings, and how they are
striving constantly to improve their
products.
At one session early in the week
Allen B. Skies of the Bureau of Ad-
vertising told the editors that few
pages in the newspapers have great
er reader interest for women than
food pages. A special study showed
that 24,000,000 daily readers were
reached through our columns and
&c, 100000 Sunday readers. With
this large leadership the food
columns are an important factor
In influencing the food habits of
the Nation and helping to solve
housekeeping problems.
Harking back to the series on
home economic careers I did in the
spring, the home economics recruit
ment program as announced by
Miss Jessie Mcqueen, home service
counsellor Of the American Gas Co.,
was Of special interest to me. The
program is designed to appeal to
high school juniors who are plan
ming their careers and is particu-
larly directed to schools, parent
teacher associations, women's clubs
and members of girls organizations.
To emphasize the growing need for
nome economics graduates, records
are used which point out the diff
ferent types of careers open in this
field. For the girl who doesn't 60

high school training in home eco
