COUNTY H.D. COUNCIL MEETS
HERE MONDAY
Mrs. J. S.
Williams, Jr., chairman of the Falls County Demonstration Council presided at
the regular monthly council meeting held in the county court room Monday, March
14.
The Chilton club was in (charge) of the short recreation period, with an "Easter
Bonnet" theme prevailing.
The Rosebud club gave the flowers, a low green bowl filled with varied spring
flowers arranged by Mrs. L. D. Houpt.
The secretary, Mrs. Joe Falsone, Jr., called the roll, gave minutes, and read
communications.
A letter from Miss Viola Rabroker, president of the Wesphalia club, was read in
which she offered her resignation, as council member and yearbook chairman, she
having recently moved to Dallas. Mrs. Frank Mueller, of Wesphalia, was
elected council delegate to fill Miss Rabroker's place and Mrs. Otto Huber was
elected to head the yearbook vacancy.
Standing committees gave reports. Twelve Civil Defense members of county
clubs were present and after being introduced by Mrs. Williams, were given
points and instruction of getting work set up in their respective clubs.
Mrs. Williams announced an eight hour Civil Defense course to be held in the
McClanahan church annex this week when Red Cross and economics teachers will
teach first aid and canteen procedure.
Mrs. Bill Adams, Civil Defense chairman of H. D. Clubs, also spoke on having the
same eight hour course in a West Falls county area so as to be more convenient.
The THDA meeting March 30-31 in Temple was discussed and Mrs. Milton Mears,
Cedar Springs club who is present chairman, was re-elected for a new term.
A tea will mark the celebration of National H.D. Week, May 1-7.
Chilton was selected as a most central place to hold the afternoon event, and
committees were named to begin plans to honor this day.
This was a 100 per cent meeting and was attended by council delegates from all
13 clubs of the county. Mrs. Ray Dodwell, a former member was a visitor.
Mrs. T. C. Newman, county H.D. agent, who is leaving this week to reside at
College Station, presented an instructive view of program continuance until
another agent can be assigned. She also praised Falls county club women
and said her work here had been pleasant.
The council presented Mrs. Newman with a piece of her chosen silver as a token
of appreciation of her work.
