of thinking about 1t.

Another popular course
that's been drawing them is
the one on Human Develop
ment in Family Life, taught ny
DR.. Glenn c. Dildine Of the
National All Club Foundation.
In yesterdays class, under a
barrage Of thought-provoking
questions thrown out by DR..
Dildine. they discussed COM
munity attitudes toward chill
dren and what is expected Of
them.
They found out that what
often is expected are behavior
patterns that conflict with
each other such as expecting a
child to be self reliant yet
obedient, aggressive yet pa
tient and conservative.
DR.. Dildine said 1t boiled
down to the perspective each
individual has of himself in
relation to his community.
with the emphasis too often on
how he differs from others.
Understanding these differ
ences could be the first step
toward more cohesive COM
munity living, he and the
homemakers finally agreed.
A similar approach to the
problems Of family and COM
munity living in an era Of fast
moving changes was presented
at yesterday mornings assem-
bly, session by Miss Frances
Scudder, director of the Di-
vision Of Home Economics Pro-
grams Of the Federal Exten-
sion Service.
Being a competent home
maker, managing the family
resources, and understanding
the needs of the various
family members still is not
enough" she told them. Each
home is inescapably bound to
its community, and each COM

Local food chains must have

items include rib and chuck
roasts.
Spring lamb, and this in

better act fast while they last.
In vegetables, local produce

arrivals. Other featured buys
this week are Black Valentine
beans from Carolina, new
green cabbage, sweet corn
from Florida, new white po-

thy Emerson, associate State
All Girls Clubs leader. They
were learning how to develop
seif-confidence.
Miss Emerson gave them a
recipe for stopping day-dream-
ing and giving more attention.
One homemaker said she found
1t hard to listen because my
mind just jiggles along on
dozens Of things" Miss Emer-
sons remedy was concentration
on the meanings of words.
Bible Reading
Tread a verse from the Bible
every day." she said. Read it
as II you were talking to some
one. Emphasize the words that
have meaning. and If necessary
have q thesaurus handy so
you'll get the most out of that
meaning. Then read it aloud.
thinking the thought behind
each word as you read IT,"
Miss Emerson guaranteed
that o little of this daily self
discipline would pay dividends
In club work, that committee
reports would no longer sound
20 dull and that the home
makers would get more done
In less time and have a good
time at that.
TITS never how you say IT,"
me told them. TITS what you
think when you say It,"
Miss Emerson has been
"packin' them in" this week.
The homemakers think the
course in self-confidence along
with parliamentary law, public
speaking and personality de-
velopment are the best aids
they can take back home for
more effective community liv-
ing.

is a colorful 16-page booklet
titled, Come to Our Barbe-
cue" that is chock-full Of ex-
citing new ways of roasting
and grilling meat indoors or
out.
James A. Beard, author Of
numerous cook books and
looked upon as Americas
leading authority on charcoal
cookery, tells how to barbecue
shrimp. Our colleague down
Texas-way. Julie Benell. has
contributed a sauce she says
is just as good used for an
oven barbecue as 1t is over the
open Goals.
All authorities come to agree
ment on this phase of outdoor
cookery: Your barbecue will
be only as good as the sauce
used to marinate the meat. It
needs to be subtle, to enhance
the flavor of the food, not
harse and overpowering to de-
tract. For centuries expert
cooks have depended on wine
as a basis for meat sauces and
in this we'll illustrated booklet
you'll find some outstanding
wine sauces that will boost
