Hickory Grove
Home Club Was
Formed In 1889
BY MRS. THERON l.. WRIGHT
Vice President

The Hickory Grove Home De-
monstration club was one of the
first organized in 1889 with Mrs
A. L. Blanton as the first presi-
dent. Miss Anne Priest was Home
Agent at this time.
In the beginning, canning and
new methods of preserving food
were the main projects, but like
all things our club programs
have improved. Now we have a
wide variety to choose from, with
subjects pertaining to the home
and personal needs of the men,
bers and their families.
The demonstrations and dis
cussions are selected by our club
members each year. This year
three of our demonstrations will
be given by our own club project
leaders. Professional Methods OF
Clothing Construction" was CIV
en- by Mrs. Clarence Ballard at
our February Meeting. Let's have
Good Frozen Fruits and Veget-
ableS will be given by Mrs. Jack
Ramseur and Variety with Vege-
tables will be given by Mrs
Theron Wright.
We have so much variety in
our programs, Take a Look at
Yourself" is a Family Life dis
cusSion. Others are Safety in
the Home" and how to Make
Housekeeping Easier"
These are just a part of our
programs. In addition we have a
"Handicraft and Meal Planning
Workshop Two Family Night
meetings with a Family Picnic
and our Annual Christmas Pro-
gram.
Ever mindful of our Homemak-
er's creed believing that "Today's
Home Builds Tomorrows World
here is a small part of our beliefs
and I Quote:
Believe the home is the
foundation of all that is good in
life, therefore I shall endeavol
to make my home a place where
love and joy; order and harmony
abide.
l believe rural women can play
definite part in building a.
mong the nations of the world
understanding, right attitudes
and a spirit of cooperation in
which peace on earth, good will
to men can become reality
instead of a dream, and I believe
that with Gods help. I can be
worthy of the honor of being
a homemaker.

the desired results.
Mrs. Baucom then introduced
DR.. Dorothea Mankin, who talk
ed on What to Expect of a
Physical Examination" She said,
THE doctor uses two means in
determining ones ailment: First,
one must give the doctor a COM
plete history. Second, give the
doctor complete account of all
Your diseases and ailments. Do
rot fear the doctor. after all he
is human and does have an in
terest in you" Then the exami-
nation should be from head to
foot.
She explained how each organ
of the body, when examined may
indicate the nature of the illness.
Eyes, for instance, will give in
dication of heart disease. She al
so gave symptoms of cancer and
T. B. THE value of an eXamina-
tion," said Dr.. Mankin" is to re-
lieve your mind about yourself,
can show beginning of many di-
SeaSeS (Which are durable if
found early) as cancer, and can
indicate if further examinations
and tests are needed.
She added that, 1t is important
to have yearly check up and to

The following report has
been received from Betty Moore
IFYE to Chile dated 3-I7-55.)

Fall is just around the corner
in Chile. Schools are opening this
week, the stores have begun to
sell winter clothes, and it even
looks as if it is going to rain
later today. Farmers are getting
ready to harvest their vineyard
crops which is the main farm pro-
duct in this area.
Patricia and I spent four days
last week on a large farm which
had AZ acres of grapes. Our hos
tess. Sonora Enulie Zuniga, is
president of the Colliquay Home
Demonstration Club. We also
visited several other homes of
club members in the small town
of Colliquay. These homes were
average or below average and
most of their farms consisted only
of few acres. Most of the homes,
including the one of our hosts,
were made of adobe and had few
convenienceS. The people were
wonderful to us and seemed so
glad to have us in their homes;

FORMER HOME AGENT
Betty Moore Writes OF
Experiences In Chile

they were interested in our North
American way of life-What we
eat, how our customs differ from
those in Chile, our family life,
etc. Our hostess even served us
eggs for breakfast when she
learned of this North American
breakfast. They were surprised
to learn that we do not have five
o'clock tea and pleased that I
liked it SO we'll that l wanted
to take the custom home with me.
We saw much of the country
surrounding Colliquay on horse
back and in the family Buick,
1880 model. Our escort was one

mily. Ramon took US to several
ut-of-the-way poor homes to
buy pottery. Chillan is quite IA
nous for this cheap but attrac-
tive and typical art. We also saw
olive trees, membrilla "a Chilean
pear-like fruiD and fields of SUM-
flowers from which oil for cook
ing is made.
AS we visited in these homes.
we could see results of the one
year old home demonstration and
(4-H) Club work being done here.
The Home Agent, Senorita Ana
Dias, has done much work, es-
pecially in food conservation, and
the women are very proud of
their pretty jars of canned fruits
and vegetables. Sanitation, pro-
per diet and cooperation are
strong points on her program.

radio, press and photographers.
Our Spanish alone should make

Another interesting trip we
made this week was to a school
on the fundo of Senor Pedro
Gosman. The schools here are so
crowded that the government
welcomes any private help for
establishing new schools. Since
the children of the workers on
this fundo would have to walk
about five miles to the nearest
school, Sonora Gosman built a
school, hired a teacher, and per-
sonally SuperviseS the school and
and the serving of powdered milk
sent from the States for distribu-
ton in the schools. She herself
bears much of the expense of this
school when government funds
are not available; she even kept
the teacher in her home last
winter. She also provides shoes
and clothes for some of the chill
dren of the poorer families. She
knows the problems of her peo-
pie and is always working to i'm
prove their overall standard of
living as well as help them with
their immediate and personal
PROBLEMS which are many and
varied. She has three children OF
her own but Sonora Gosman still
finds time to be a real Samari-
visit the United States and nc
one deserves the trip more, moi
even those given scholarships tc
study in the Estates. Next week
shall write you about Talca
and the interesting program
which has been planned for us
there.
