demonstrations to the clubs when
the agents are not there. 1t also
gives chance to do the organiza-
tion work that is needed when new
clubs, to prepare illustrative ma
terial when needed, keep up rec
ords and attend to the many mis-
cellaneous demands for help that
come to the office. Also to follow
up the work of the project leaders
in any way that is needed.
AT the organization meeting of
the new Lynbrook group it was
interesting to have the members
tell of their home state and things
they have done. The members in
this group are rich in backgrounds
of experience and travels. Many
have lived all over the world or
have been professional women, so
that they should have a most in
teresting group as members con-
tribute from their own experiences
to the organization.
Georgetown Village seems to
have come from practically every
state and for young people they
too have travelled far and wide.
There was so much enthusiasm in
these two clubs, there is no ques-
tion but that much will be ac-
complished.
Stephen Knolls elected officers at
their fourth meeting and will meet
in March as a Homemaker's Club.
Mrs. Harry Weiss is the new presi-
dent. The club met in the beauti-
full home of Mrs. Anna Soupouras.
On February 9, the Home Dem
onstration Agent was guest of the
Potomac Valley Club at the lunch
con honoring the retiring president,
Mrs. j. Rex Pimlott who is NOV
ing shortly to Frederick, Maryland.
The meeting was well attended.
The women came early and as the
meeting progressed they worked on
making pin-a-fores to be sold at
the Cabin John School festival.
Mrs. Louis Daniel, who has been
elected new president of this club,
checked over the years program
with the members who were most
cooperative, volunteering to act as
chairmen of the committees for
this year. 1t was good to have a
former member, Mrs. Dodson, back
with the group. The group voted
to come as a group to the demon
stration on Trends in Home Furn-
ishing" to be held on March 19 at
the Agricultural Center, at Gath
ersburg. They also voted to go as
a club to a radio program.
Following the meeting at Po-
tomac Valley, the agent attended
a special meeting of the Rural
Women's Short Course Club at the
home of Mrs. ]. T. O'Shaughnessy.
About twenty members enjoyed
having tea with Mrs. O'Shaugh-
messy and the club made plans to
work on tray favors to be placed
on the trays of the patients at
Childrens' Hospital on Easter
morning. They planned to work
on these favors in the Extension
Office the third Monday in March.
On February IL, Mrs. Dorothy
Crawford, who is Secretary for
disqualification Group 4331, Mont
gomery county Homemakers
Clubs, gave a talk to the Pooles-
vile, GAINESVILLE -Dickerson Home
makers Club. Judging from the
discussion there is much feeling
that people find this protection of
great value.
Mrs. Crawford presented the
subject very we'll for she handled
this insurance whie she was sec
retary in the Extension Office and
as work doubled and tripled, Mrs.
Crawford was asked to take it
over again.
The Kensington View Home
makers Club met at the home
of Mrs. Martin R. Berger on Feb
ruary II, at s pm.
This club carried on their bust
ness meeting and as soon as the
agent could leave the Stephen
Knolls Club she came to give the
demonstration. This is an enthusi-
astic group and had many ideas
and suggestions to make during
the discussion on "Trends in Table
Service"
The hostess for some ten years
has been using stainless steel for
hatware for everyday and her
fatware has taken on a very lovely
patina. Her enthusiasm as to the
practical value of such ware stim-

members for they liked her pat
tern and it's appearance. Many of
the Young women became quite
