Homemakers
Corner
Upholstery Conscious


School was held January 23rd.
All of the helpers and the women
whose chairs were worked upon,
seemed to feel that they gained
much from this school. Several of
the helpers went home and at once
tore down a chair and followed
step by step what they had been
taught at the training school.
Mrs. Mildred Stromberg had her
chair complete with muslin when
the Agent attended the Homewood
III meeting on Thursday night, the
Goth, and was ready to put on the
upholstery fabric. All of the men,
bers of her club had a chance to
see what she was doing, and she
undoubtedly will be able to give
them guidance and help when they
are ready to have this lesson.
Children's Clothing Kit
On the 25th of January Miss
Virginia McLuckie and Mrs. Ken
meth King met with the Project
Leaders of the Childrens Clothing
Kit. Each club whose chairman
had attended Miss Shelby's Train
ing School last year brought the
garment that they had made under
her supervision. Miss McLuckie
went over the fine features of these
garments showing how some of
them were planned to grow with
the child or made so that a child
can get into them unaided.
The Childrens Clothing Kit will
be loaned to any group of young
mothers interested in the trends
of childrens garments. Patterns,
as well as garments, are included
in the kit.
Full House" at Meeting
If anyone should have dropped
in at the home of Mrs. Thomas
Austin, on Fayette Road in Ken
sington the night of January Goth,
it would have been impossible to
have welcomed them in for the
living room was filled to over
flowing with members of Home

Mrs. Mildred Stromberg.
This recently organized club is
functioning full force and has de-
cided that it can only accommodate
35 members.
Floor ReInishing Project
On the 9th of January Mr..
Shackelford and the Home Agent
visited the homes that have been
offered for the Refinishing of Floors
Project.
Two homemakers were not home
where calls were made but in all
10 homes were visited. For the
upper end of the County, the home
that best fit the requirements of
the demonstration was that of Mrs.
Ted Noffsinger. None of the homes
visited in the lower end of the
County were large enough to ac-
commodate the group and the
demonstration, so it will be neces-
sary to make another series of
home visits on February LIST.
Today, Thursday the monthly
meeting of the County Council of
Homemakers will be held in the
Extension Office. The County In
ternational Chairman, Mrs. Ralph
