LIIuUL wCVjIliU gaining more understanding about sewing from the USU Extension Service's new bi-lingual project. ' USU Extension Service is now involved in a brand new bi-lingual sewing project. In- 1 structor for the classes is Mrs. Dorothy Hansen, Davis County Home Agent. And, ac- cording to her, "Project Cor- i poration is a part of the Weber-Davis Housing Cor- t poration Homemakers Group E who want to learn basic sew-ing sew-ing skills so they can make clothing for themselves and is. their families." j LATER ON they will learn . iii how to make home fur- a nishings as well. This is an on-going program designed to is last as long as there is a need. it The sewing sessions are held ii each Friday at 9:30 a.m. at i the Housing Center located at k 15 1274 E. 1450 S. in. Clearfield. Most of the homemakers are Spanish and speak only Spanish. "There are several ladies who speak both languages," lan-guages," Mrs. Hansen said, "but with good feelings you seem to overcome the difficulties dif-ficulties of understanding each other. I feel the interest is really picking up, especially on home projects." SO, WITH visual aids in Spanish and English, and a lot of patience on both sides, everyone is benefiting. Each session - brings fewer problems with the language barrier. With this kind of real motivation and need to communicate, com-municate, all learn new ver bal skills. Need creates, greater motivation and better : understanding of the other person's problems. Project Corporation, now doing so much good does have a few problems. There is a great need for used sewing machines. Other equipment, such as irons and ironing boards are needed also. "IF SUCH old items are hidden in your attic or basement, they would be much used and appreciated," said Dorothy Hansen. IF YOU can spare any of these items, please call the Extension Service in Far-mington. Extension Service is part of Utah State University's program to teach all who would like to learn, regardless of race, color or national origin. ' |
