The Home Demonstration Club met with Mrs. Franzen on April 9 at 2:00 p. m. Mrs. Gerald Wells, president, in the chair. Mrs. M. M. Wells gave the opening exercise and her subject was “Cultivate your vision to see.” After the regular business routine, the meeting was turned over to Miss Alma Stewart who gave a demonstration on the kitchen. “Since all women spend so much time in their kitchens, it should be as convenient and as pretty a room as there is in the house,” Miss Stewart said. This room should be light; dust, dirt and roaches won’t accumulate in Iight corners as they will in a dark, drab place. It should be airy, the windows should be so they may be opened at the top. The screen should be of the best as they will last longer. Some members reported that copper screens last as long as 20 years. Miss Stewart had with her so many pretty curtains that we could pick the pattern that was most suited to our kitchens. Kitchen curtains should be practical as they need repeated launderings. Miss Stewart also brought a curtain rod that fastened on the window frame without so many nails and pieces which we all decided was also a time saver. The hostess served a delicious refreshment plate to a large number of ladies. Miss Rosalie Nelson of Richards visited home folks this weekend. Mr. Aaron Penland and his girl friend visited Aaron’s people this week-end. Milford and Roberta Liggett of Kingsville visited their parents this week-end.
