She emphasized that the DEM

should be simple, those which
they could do well, practical and
timely. The more girls can read
and use the information cleaned
in relation to the subject, the
more possibility there is Of
good work. Demonstrations
should be outlined step by step,
with a card stating what to do in
the proper order and what to say
opposite each step. This should
be on the work table for easy
reference. The equipment should
be thought out carefully and a

AMONG THE
H0MEMAKERS

Col. ]. M. Chambers, (Ret.)
USMC, and holder of the Con.
greSSional Medal of Honor, as.
sistant administrator of Federal
Civil Defense, stated that civil
defense begins at home and that
community action as well as the
individual citizens is needed if
there is to be any defense against
enemy attack in his discussion
of the problems with the civil de-
tense chairmen of Homemakers
Clubs recently in the Extension
Office.
1t is necessary, he thought,
that the citizenry understand
that Russia has the capability
of attacking any city in the
United States, having moved into
the hydrogen bomb field, possess
ing certainly the atomic bomb.
He believes that many problems
are almost insoluble but gave the
group reasonable possibilities of
what could happen if Washing
ton, D. c., ground zero, were at
tackled, and what he believed
should be done as a measure in
minimizing the damage of a
bomb when it hits. He believes
strongly that the American peo-
pie should be informed of the
danger which could occur, for
only then can they do what is
possible to protect themselves.
Col. Chambers viewed the test
of the hydrogen bomb in the
Pacific in 1858 and he hopes that
the motion picture of this test
Operation Ivy" will be avail
able for public showing soon.
He explained that it had been
estimated that in the event of
attack thousands of people from
Washington would be moving
out into Montgomery County and
neighboring areas. 1t is only rea-
sonable, he thought, for us to
realize how people under stress
act and that we make plans to
receive these people, to provide
for them, and to reunite them
with their families. He believes
that HomemakerS can help their
communities to obtain inven-
tories of human resources and
material. Local units can work
with the civil defense offices to
devise plans of taking care of the
people from the cities; plans, for
instance of possible housing;
plans for emergency feeding,
water and power supplies. 1t was
pointed out that whatever the
individual does forward civil de-
fense, he does for his personal
protection. Home Protection Ex-
ercises" available from the Mary
land Civil Defense Agency, State
Armory, Pikesville, Md. was re-
commended as an excellent guide
for families. Homemakers will
consider his recommendations
with their clubs and communities
and meet again at the call of
their chairman, Mrs. D. C.
Adams.
Because of informality in our
modern living, along with COM
paratiVe ease of management,
buffet service is a popular type
in our homes today. Food chair
men gave consideration to the
planning, preparation and serv-
ing of 'Low-cost Buffet Suppers"
Thursday and Friday in the Ex-
tension Service office. Mrs. Irma
Bell, assistant home demonstra-
ton agent, prepared and served
a menu to illustrate the import
ant points. The group made plans
of their own under the direction
of Mrs. Catherine Rhoads, home

lated costs.
