Last year homemakers of Iron county carried on many worth while projects with the assistance assist-ance of Mrs. Carmen Lipphardt, home agent, until she resigned to accept a position at the BAC. A sewing school was conducted in Kanarra and approximately 45 garments were made or remodeled remode-led by women who took the class. Demonstrations of remodeling clothing, use of sewing machine attachments, sewing short-cuts, pressing and tailoring, were given gi-ven to groups throughout the county. A film on fitting was shown to 151 women in the county. Four chairs were covered at an upholstery school in Beryl. Demonstrations Dem-onstrations were given on rug making, making lined draperies, and covering lamp shades. The USDA film "A functional U Kit- chen" was shown 9 times in three communities to a total of 286 people. At least 19 families have used ideas shown in the film in their new homes. Twenty blueprints blue-prints were ordered and sold and 93 bulletins were distributed. Pressure cooker testing was done in four communities before canning season began. Miss Elna Miller, extension nutritionist, and Hattie Kilgore, demonstrator for Kerr Glass, gave a combined freezing and canning demonstration. demonstra-tion. The extension educational program pro-gram varies from year to year because of the changes in national, na-tional, state, and local situations. Homemaking knowledge, skills, and changes in attitudes, are the core of the extension educational program. Without this sound core of homemaking education, home demonstration work would not exist. |
