Remarking about the various pro-
iects that have been taught, one
that has given great satisfaction
to a goodly number of people is
that of hooking, the art of making
hooked rugs, Miss Turner said.
In two different communities the
women interested in rugging meet
once week and have produced
some very valuable rugs.
Other Activities
The University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service and the Home De-
monstration Agents have met with
the Farm Women's Cooperative
Market Directors to help in the
transition from the retirement of
their very fine manager, Mrs. Roger
Shaw, to that of their new man.
ager, Mrs. Lillian Matson.
AS in the past, the county has
been visited by members of the
English Woman's Institute and
several of the clubs are correspond
ing with various institutions in that
country.
There was great interest in the
Family Relatives Project which
was conducted under the leadership
of Mrs. Jeanne Nice Family Re-
lations Specialist of the University
of Maryland, and the Council APP
preciated the help and cooperation
Of the County Library in securing
books that members could obtain
that were on the reading list sug-
qested by the project.
The Foods and Nutrition Project
brought forth many interesting re-
ports. 331 women said that they
had improved their family's diet
and 1876 women found that the basic
master Mix" was of great value,
There was a remarkable increase
in the freezing of fruit, vegetables,
meats and cooked foods. Approx
mately 1886 packages were frozen
at value of $39 100000, proves that
the families are filling freezer
lockers. This report reflects only
about onethird of the total men,
bership. 1t is always a disappoint-
ment to the Agent that there is
not better response in filling out
the yearly reports.
Home Projects
One of the outstanding reports
was that. twelve women now have
"U-Shape Kitchens" in their homes.
The Home Furnishing Project
had an exceptional carry-over from
demonstrations given several years
ago. IT'S slip covers were. made,
12l pieces Of furniture upholstered
81 chairs reseated, 68 hooked rugs
we're completed and 274 pieces OF
furniture were refinished at saw
ings of over $11 100000. Again this
represents only about one-third of
the total membership.
This fall, the clubs have been
carrying a project on the purpose
and design in Landscape Planting,
q study of plant material for found
alton planting and how to care for
shrubbery.
The Agent summarized her re-
port by saying that she felt her
first purpose was to help people
realize and recognize problem.
The second purpose was to make
more use of the latent abilities Of
cub members so that each might
gain some personal feeling of
achievement. This was done by
(a) asking more women to go to
new groups to give demonstrations;
(b) asking women who have not
acted as project leaders to give
demonstrations in the store window
of The Hecht Company or at the
County Fair; (c) in writing a note
to all who take part in carrying
on a demonstration (d) in writing

Masonry and concrete require
protection from the weather-and
especially from water. Stucco
houses can absorb as much as one
ton of water during a rain. Cement
block easements can hold more than
two tons of water in the walls. AS
II penetrates to the inside of the
walls above ground, it can cause
the blistering of paint and the de-
struction Of plaster. 1t is, conse'
ouently, the greatest wisdom tc
