Publicity Chairman
HOllymOunt III. ID. Club:
We would like to take the oppor-
tunity during National Home Dem
onstratiOn Week which will be OBJ
served from April 2Sth to May 4th
to tell about some of our Club ac-
tivities.
We have contributed to the fol-
lowing: Polio, Cancer, Red Cross,
Heart, Muscular DystrOphy, Pen
nies for Friendship, and the Camp
Barnes Building Fund. Also twelve
CARE packages have been sent and
two Friendship packages of cloth
ing, usually 25-3O pounds each, to
our adopted family in Germany.
Several members share the let
ters received from their Pen Pals"
from different countries They are
quite interesting to all of us.
A family with several children
had the misfortune to lose all
clothing and furniture as the re-
suit of a fire. Our members were
quick to respond with aid for the
needy family, thus helping them to
make a new start in homemaking.
1t has also been our privilege to
sponsor kindergarten pupil.
When illness comes to our fam
lilies, our Sunshine Chairman is
ready to spread cheer by sending
cards, plants, fruits and other re-
membranes.
We have Family Dinners" and
they mean much to the club mem
bers. We find our families enjoy
these "get-to-gethers" socially. We
often show slides pertaining to
family life.
We learn how to make many ar
ticles for our homes. We also learn
how to do things better and more
quickly thus saving our energy and
having more time to enjoy our fam
lily. This seems to be the aim of
the Home Demonstration Club.
By Mrs. Joseph McI1vain
Publicity Chairman
Indian River III. ID. Club:
Our group was organized on
March %. 1854, under the guidance
Of Mrs. Nancy Shelton, who was
the Sussex County Home Demon
stration Agent at that time
Though the members are few, the
club has been quite active, and for
this trait, we received the 1856
Outstanding Award in the county.
We value the information that is
provided us on foods, clothing,
home management, child care, fam
lily relationships, and on building
better community Many of our
routine tasks, such as washing
and ironing, are made easier when
we learn more efficient methods.
1t is then that we realize how much
time and energy can be saved. In
sewing, simple tricks were explain
ed so that the finished article
would be neat and well-made We
were cautioned on features to look
for in buying furniture. Family
menus are apt to become more in
teresting when we see new mex
pensive dishes prepared.
The projects on basketry, alumni
mum trays, lampshades, etc, have
provided an excellent opportunity
for working together, and the re-
suits are gratifying. The writer re-
