ing road and bypass.

Home Interest In America

who is it that has spread
throughout Europe the idea that
the American woman neglects her
home?" asked Madame Jeanne
Blanc, field liaison officer in
charge of rural exhibits at the
American Embassy in Paris, now
on a visit to this country. Mad
anne Blanc had just completed a
tour of upper Montgomery Coun-
ty homes with Miss Edythe M.
Turner, Home Demonstration Ag-
ent.
The French woman came to the
country to talk over projects of
rural women, to visit their homes
and see how homemakers put into
practice skills and knowledge ac-
quired from their home demonsra-
ton agents.
After spending some time in the
Rockville office looking over. rec
ords and illustrative material,
three visits were made. The first
was to Mrs. Clarence Day of
Clarksburg, who had redecorated
her home recently. Her dining
room which has one wall done in
an eighteenth century design wall
paper and three walls in soft yel-
low paint was pronounced a per-
feet setting for the old walnut
furniture. Rugs and slip covers
contribute to the harmony of col
or.

abroad was amazed by the va
riety of wedding gifts of a daugh-
ter of the house married the week
before. Mrs. Beall described the
longtime planning that went into
her beautiful home. A visit to the
dairy barn was even more amaz-
ing, with its high standards of
cleanliness. A stop for lunch at
a drugstore counter in Damascus
again demonstrated the high
standards of sanitation observed
in the country.
The kitchen at the home of Mrs.
William Stup, Laytonsville, was
next visited. Mrs. Stup displayed
cupboards and drawers that were
the picture of order and organi-
cation, to the delight Of Madame
Blanc, with everything to make
work easy in these days of little
domestic help.
Miss Turner, who has spent al
most twenty years working with
the rural women of this county
could but smile at the idea that
American women did not care for
their homes. "Just propaganda, ="
she said. 1--WE know that our
Homemakers put their homes first
and with it all community and
county INTERESTS that affect the
home" They are also fast be-
coming concerned with national
and international affairs Miss
Turner pointed out.
