7 AMONG THE
HONEMAKERS
Big Excitement Afoot

All week the most amazing
things have been happening-frst
there was an editorial in the Wash
ington Post, complimenting the
Homemakers on inviting a repre-
sentative of the 72 Embassies and
Legations to attend the Annual
Fall Meeting at Silver Spring to-
day Thursday. The phone rang
and rang-dirst it was the Latin
Section of the State Department,
asking to have a copy of the letter
sent to the various Chanceries, and
something about the program.
The various organizations, women's
clubs, schools and individuals, ask
ing where to get the kit of ma
terials to make a U.N. Flag. Then
the State Departments press, ask
ing for a history of the organiza-
tion for background, the letter
asked by the Latin Section and the
program. A representative of a
National magazine asked if he
could come to the meeting.
What will come about from this
friendly invitation to our Inter-
national neighbors, will be interest
ing news next week.
Potomac Valley Club
Members of the Potomac Valley
Club enjoyed the luncheon served
around an outdoor fireplace at the
club meeting held October 8 at
the home of Mrs. w. d. Ravens
in Cabin John. A good attendance
was on hand. Mrs. Schumacher and
Mrs. Stevens, project leaders for
the lamp shade school, displayed
their shades. Club members were
greatly interested and voted to
hold a lampshade making school in
their area. Mrs. Camphor, one of
the clubs charter members, is
again active in the, club.
Laytonsv'ille Group
Mrs. Basil Waters, Mrs. Russell
Pope, Mrs. Alfred Fraley and Mrs.
Wiley Griffith were hostesses to
the Laytonsville Homemakers Club
with an attendance of 35 on Oc-
tober a. Mrs. Frederick Stelzer
and Mrs. Anna Bowie were guests
of the club. Everyone was de.
lighted with the room Mrs. Waters
had redecorated. The floor had
been refinished by several members
of the club under direction of Mrs.
Waters, and Mrs. Carl Eager who
had attended the floor finishing
school.
=, Mrs, Allie Messer gave a most
interesting bread demonstration.
having samples of each kind of
bread made. 1t was quite amusing
to see her mixing bread with
spoon when all knew she could
make "fast work of it" with her
hands. Also, all club members were
shouting, "Why don't you put your
hands in it?
HOmemakers Council Meets
Thursday was the important day
when the Homemakers Council en-
joyed a delicious luncheon served
to them by members of the Rock
vile Christian Church. The presi-
dents who make up the Executive
Board were delighted to find that
the Potomac-Glen members had
made an exquisite corsage of fall
flowers for each one present. 1t
made the luncheon a "real occas-
ion." The mint cups were another
surprise and were the work of the
son of the Councils President, Mrs.
George Ray.
Thirty-three reports are a great
many to have given in an after
noon yet interest ran high as the
picture of the vital help that
Homemakers give in home, COM
munity, county and international
affairs were listed. Summaries of
the annual meeting will be mailed
out to the various club members,
giving everyone chance to read
of the accomplishments.
