Wed. Oct. 13, as I was driving to leadership school the radio announced that it, was American Heritage Day. I started thinking. When you get out of bed do you turn a knob and your electric blankets go off. Turn a button and your furnace is up nice and toasty. If you drink coffee your automatic dial is on and coffee is ready. A push' of the button and you have your breakfast. Turn a hand and you have hot water for a bath. Your newspaper is delivered to your door. You leave for work in a car, heated and music playing. Cooled if needed. After registration Monday morning, the women leaders met in the UC auditorium with a warm welcome from Mrs. Phyllis Taggart. A very timely and informative talk by Mrs. Pettit on the theme World of Women set the stage for the rest of the four-da- y meet. Each woman was given a number along with her registration card which entitled her to enjoy die wide variety of section meetings which were held throughout the week. A general session in the auditorium started each day with something especially geared for Leaders. A short music session Women In School enthusiastically conducted for the group was enjoyed by all par- ticipants. Dr. Margaret C. Browne, former Director of the Federal Extension Service of Washington D. C. gave an interesting talk on the subject Who Needs Women? Chairman Barbara Whitbeck very ably introduced the Nutrition Story through the Utah State Fair Queen Robin Ti money who presented a skit The Wizard of so beautifully. Each evening a special Oz Women And Self Improvement by Pamela Turner A farmers wife recently com- mented that between doing farm chores, taxiing her children about, and chasing around for her husband, she had no time to do anything else. She wasnt complaining. Certainly she was performing an essential service for those whom she loved. But her life is important also. One thing she shares with all others. Each has twenty-fou- r hours a day - no more and no less. One can choose how to spend those hours, and those decisions mold ones character and disposition. The woman who allows her twenty-fou- r hours to be completely dispensed by others is cheating herself of the opportunity for personal growth and development. Each day she should plan a minimum of one half hour to devote to herself for This must follow her own needs, interests and desires, and perhaps a combination of some things could be done together. How well could a half hour be spent giving yourself that manicure you miss, at the same time listening to a record, tape recorder, or radio. How well informed you could become by spending the time self-improveme- nt. reading constructive material relating to your personal interests. Perhaps a half hour of quiet contemplation or mental planning could organize the other twenty-thre- e and a half hours into more productive, efficient and ultimately enjoyable hours. . A man stated he had gained his extreme wealth because with all money he earned, he paid himself before any others, and then invested that money wisely. If a woman will give herself one half hour daily, and invest that time wisely, she will be a much better asset to her family and her associates tomorrow. tertainment was en- enjoyed.

We eagerly look forward to Leadership school, not only as a learning experience, but for the social good times as well.

Getting up early each morning, Dressing Up to greet a new day full of exciting events, makes it great to be a part of this wonderful group A Big THANK YOU to all who had a part in making this the Best Leadership yet! ! - Lucille Smith An experience in school with the Leadership School for Women can be very disconcerting. In the first place, many of our preconceptions suffer an upheaval. We are immediately faced with many of our pet theories being questioned. Hare are some: Are we safe drivers? Have we spent a few hours taking a Defensive Drivers Course, and are we aware of our responsibilities as a commuter on the highways? Are our homes reasonably safe from hazzards of fire and theft? The emphasis on medical alertness, as we take care of and supply our medical cabinets, and safeguard children from contact with caustics and cleaning fluids were well stressed. The wit and humor of our instructor was much appreciated. In another vein, do our clothes fit, or are they full of bulges and sags? How one longs to be a specialist! Are we wasting our grocery dollars buying too many costly foods, and jeopardizing the ' family budget? Probably we are more conscious of taste appeal than the challenge of nuitrition when feeding the family. One of the most appreciated section meetings was C.

Technological & eye-appeali- two-crust- ed Tips On Egg Size Do you puzzle over what size eggs to buy or how many eggs of different sizes to use in a recipe? The size classification tells you. the weight per dozen : extra large -27 ounces, large - 24 ounces, medium - 21 ounces, and small 18 ounces. It says nothing about quality. To decide which size to buy with eggs of the same quality, Mrs. industrial advancements are far better than the old hand shovel and hand harvesting. While we enjoy our priceless heritage of freedom and the wonder about us we should all remember the labor expended for -- Flora Bardwell, Utah State University extension foods and nutrition specialist, suggests using the rule of seven. That means if the price spread between any two sizes is more than seven cents, the smaller size of the two will give you us that every generation must pay. Our gratitude is expressed by our action that will preserve and pass on our American heritage. the most protein and other USU Weekly News Packet Why Use Eggs? Contrary to the cholesterol scares of recent years, eggs eaten in balance with other needed foods, remain one of natures healthier sources of important food nutrients, that alone is reason enough for using eggs, especially as they become more plentiful in the spring, observed Flora Bard-wel- l, Utah State University Extension food and nutrition specialist. She pointed out that eggs add flavor and color along with nutritive value. They may help certain products form an emulsion to keep the totter from curdling. They add protein and thus strengthen the framework of the baked product. They often are used as a means of incorporating air, as nutrition for your money. However, since most recipes are designed to use medium-size- d eggs, you may experience some failures in cooking and baking with other sized eggs unless you adjust the amount. For example, to supply the equivalent of approximately one cup requires: 4 extra large eggs, 5 large eggs, 6 medium eggs or 7 small eggs. Bardwell Mrs. suggests the month of May for preparing when eggs are expected to be most plentiful and especially suited to the family food budget.

Eggs often are used in yeast breads to form more richness. Some specialty bread recipes call for yolks or slightly beaten whites since yolks give tender, flaky crusts and whites help to give thick, crisp crusts.
