Story Of Modern
Kitchen Is Topic
For 10Th Century

Mrs. r. w. Dillingham; present
ed Miss Betty Newton, home econ
omist, as the speaker for the pro-
gram that followed Fridays lunch
con for members of the Twentieth
Century Club, at Coover Memorial
Club House.
The speaker started her inter-
esting, informative talk, by point
ing out that the trend toward the
modern kitchen started in the
early 1920's. She followed this with
plans for five basic kitchen ar
rangements that can be used as a
guide for setting up today's mod
ern kitchen. Suggestions for cor
recting small storage problems and
other ideas for a more convenient
kitchen were advanced.
She then produced swatches of
materials for walls, floors, counter
tops and draperies, and assembled
them in combinations to show how
various shades can be used to make
the kitchen a more colorful and
attractive spot for the lady of the
house to do her work in. She fur
ther pointed out that the idea that
kitchen should be predominantly
white, with only a touch of color,
has been completely out-moded.
Hostesses for the meeting were
Mrs. Jack Siegel, Mrs. Steven Ed
wards, Mrs. Leo Daley, Mrs. Frank
L. Baldwin, Miss Mabel Leonard
Mrs. E. A. Wall and Mrs. Clark

In Hardin County

Madison County is this week
missing two good folks who have

their new home in Hardin County.
For forty years Mr. Rogers was
engaged in doing experimental
farm work and with his family had
resided on the County Farm near
here. He had operated most sue
cessfully under the direction of the
State Experiment Farm at Woos-
ter and had brought to Madison
County even national recognition
for some of the outstanding work
he had done.
Some months ago the Rogers
were recognized when he retired
and now he and Mrs. Rogers are at
least partially settled in their new
home on the same farm where
their son Boyd and his family re-
side. There are two other sons in
the family, Dean of New Jersey,
and DR.. Neil of Piqua.
The best wishes of the legion of
friends whom the Rogers family
