All Club Girls
Luncheon Guests
OF Club Agent

Saturday, April IL, five of the
older All Girls and Miss Dorothy
Emerson, State Girls Club Agent,
were guests at Get Acquainted
Luncheon in the Extension Office.
The plan to have this luncheon was
planned by the Assistant Agent,
Mrs. Irma Bell. Due to illness, Mrs.
Bell was not able to carry on, so
with Mrs. Gladys Hinenburg's help,
the Home Agent took charge.
The girls came at eleven O'Clock
and prepared the luncheon. Work
,Sheets had been made up and each
ES5rl took over some definite part
of food preparation and table serv-
ice. At one o'clock everything was
III readiness as Miss Emerson ar
rived.
The table was most effective with
the new dishes the All Clubs have
received and the lovely silver that
the Potomac Glen Homemakers'
Club has recently given the Ex-
tension Office. Mrs. Bell had made
lovely favors - crisp sheer HAND
kerchiefs she had decorated with
textile paints, little bouquets or
double narcissus were tucked in the
kerchief and all tied up with gay
ribbon to look like an Old fashioned
nosegay.
The menu was simple and the
girls proved successful cooks. Fruit
punch with sherDert was the first
course, creamed chicken on rice and
fresh asparagus, tossed vegetable
salad and hot corn mullins, the
second course, and lastly cream
puffs filled with ice cream was the
dessert.
- After the luncheon Miss Emerson
I'D the girls talked over their
projevt work, records and the OPP
portunities in club work.
The All girls were Augusta Mae
King, Lillian Arnold, Betty Hale,
Genevieve Mumford and Mary Ann
Ward. All All girls over fifteen
years of age were invited to at
tend.

ACCORDING to combustion experts,
"A there's as much energy locked in
drop of gasoline as there is in drop
of nitroglycerine.
But the problem is to put that energy
to work.
So Buick engineers aren't content just
to mix that drop with air and touch it off.
They've designed an engine that brings
it catapulting into cylinder head
where it strikes a turbo-top piston-gets
whipped into churning, swirling ball
of tight-pacl1ed energy.
