Life-size tin cans that walked and talked and an imposing blue-costumed rhythm band, playing snappy tunes on tin cans, formed just a part of the Achievement Day program of the Ashwood Home Demonstration Club, held Thursday, October 18. Cans of beans, beets, beef and chicken vied each other for fame until a battered, but usable, reflanged can appeared and told a tale of multiplied service and of money saved. Thereafter, the competing cans of meats, fruits and vegetables were silenced. Destroying a tradition, that the horn of plenty is made of gold, the Ashwood pantry demonstrator, Mrs. Walter Brown, displayed her "plenty" consisting of 953 cans of food in tin. Her imposing shelf covered an entire wall of the dining room. The two bottom shelves were enclosed and contained her canning equipment and reflanged cans. Van Vleck rhythm band in their nifty blue and white band costumes, furnishes the rhythm appropriately with drumsticks and tin cans, under the direction of Miss Wilmuth McMinn. Refreshments of home-made cookies and wild grape juice were served. Club reports, given by Mrs. Anton Hanson, disclosed a total of 7,000 cans of food conserved. Following the reports at the home of the pantry demonstrator, the guests adjourned to the home of Mrs. George Clark and Mrs. W. C. Sansing, where landscaping with native shrubs, including cherry laurel, holly, yaupon, yellow jasmine and others were viewed.
