Show Page 6 UTAH WOMEN THE America by Barbara Whitbeck v.v. spark Plimgs as Farm Bureau v.v, m MX :m When our forefathers came to this country, they laid the cornerstone for a monument of wisdom, of peace, and of liberty. History has furnished them with many guide posts for laying these cornerstones. From that day to this, each generation has built its section of this great monument. Today we are adding our portion to the vast structure. Have you ever thought what our contribution means? This will depend upon you, upon me, upon each individual living during these challenging times. There is an open road ahead, but we know that it is going to be rough going. The womens role in Farm Bureau is important. The strength of Farm Bureau is in accepting the challenge to do better. We dont have to start by asking Farm Bureau members, men or women, to be concerned they are concerned. On August 26, 1920, women were given the right to vote. They called it Womens Suffrage. - The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Elda Hillyard, Chairman, Ann Mathews, Vice Chairman, Louise Hoffman, Secretary and Ruth C. Hansen, director review the book being presented Food from Farm to Home." Women Active in Cache Last year the Cache County Farm Bureau Women with Elda Hillyard, Chairman Ann Mathews, Louise Hoffman, Ruth Hansen and Vada Nielsen were in charge of the Home Arts Department. There were 1289 articles entered. Three hundred forty nine exhibitors took 425 first prizes, 362 second and 195 third. Farm Bureau Women took complete charge of this division with 40 ladies from Farm Bureau working. They also provided 25 judges. There was a total of 728 hours spent by the women. It was our largest fair held. The officers took 158 articles to the State Fair where they received a Grand Sweepstakes Trophy, 5 Special awards and a host of first prizes, second prizes and third prizes. Fifty two hours were spent receiving these articles and taking them down and bringing them back home. The committee surely appreciates the work of the ladies who help and also those who bring the exhibits. We encourage all women to support your county and state fairs because it is a showcase where your arts, crafts and hobbys can compete. And can certainly contribute to a better . farm-cit- y relationship. The Cache County Womens Committee presented the books Food From Farm to Home to elementry schools in Wellsville, Hyrum, Providence, Smithfield, Richmond, Lewiston and Cache Training Center in Logan and the Logan Cache Library.

Most State Farm Bureaus now hold talent contests. Change, to Mrs. East, meant change that would improve the atmosphere for living. She called it a Pledge to American Way of Life. With the season now at hand for mem- community. She is a genius at managing so that she has time for reading and thinking on important issues; for she knows that armed with the facts, women working together can move mountains. She is typically American; an individual like nobody but herself; and an individual, thank God, to think things through and make her own decisions and she does. She is the American Woman of this year; and every year and I do mean you, dear farm wives and mothers! As we resolve on accomplishments for 1951, above everything else, let us pledge our defense of the American way of the dairy princess contest.
