As I come in the office this
morning, Vina said to me,
you bring us up to date and
tell us where you have been this
past week." I guess that tells
how much we see each other.
Well, we're up to date here now,
so I'll bring you folks up to date
now.
Last week, we held meetings
on the lesson Grooming for
Health" at Dexter City and
Harriettsville. Each group had an
attendance of IL persons. Mrs.
c e. Weber was our hostess for
the afternoon meeting at Dexter
and Mrs. Bert Johanning was
hostess at Harriettsville. 1t seems
the Mothers Club at Dexter is
busy planning an open house for
the school on March 28th. I be-
lieve the folks at Harriettsville
are about ready to give up on
teaching me how to quilt!
Perhaps the highlight of the
week was the Home Demonstra-
ton Council meeting held at the
home of Mrs. Dallas Law at Mt.
Ephraim on Thursday. Twenty
six women from IA communities
answered the roll call. The morn
ing session was quite informal as
we opened with group singing.
Mrs. Ross Watson then showed
the councillors how to make
flowers from nylon hose. Very
interesting indeed! Thanks so
much for coming, Mrs. Watson.
A covered dish dinner was en-
joyed. 1t resulted in quite a lot

Stradley, vice-president of Ohio
State University and Mr.. A. B.

One of the highlights of this
program was that of the pageant
pages of Progress" The end
of a perfect day on my part was

friends of mine in Springfield,
which was really my home for
4 years.
