“Attendance Good at Farm & Home School
Sessions,” from the Statesville Landmark, March 1, 1951.
Attendance was very
good at the Farm and Home school sessions for women held in Iredell County
Wednesday. Miss Pauline Gordon, Home Management and Home Furnishings
specialist, spoke to the group Wednesday morning on “More Livable Homes,”
bringing out in her discussion points to consider in managing the home and home
decorating ideas.
Following this, a
session was held on “Everyday Cooking,” with an emphasis on biscuitmaking. This
was conducted by Miss Virginia Wilson, Extension Specialist in Foods and
Nutrition, and was held at the Gem Gas Company using their equipment and floor
space. In connection with this demonstration, those attending were asked to
bring biscuits which they had made to be judged. The Statesville Flour Mill
contributed flour to be used as prizes, which were distributed as follows: Mrs.
Henry Conrad, first place receiving 25 pounds of flour; Mrs. Marvin Cash,
second place receiving 10 pounds of flour and Miss Maggie James, third place
receiving five pounds of flour. Also door prizes were given with 25 pound bags
going to Mrs. R.C. Millsaps and 10 pounds going to Miss Lilly Bell Ramsey.
Again in the
afternoon Miss Gordon appeared on the program for a joint session of men and
women on “Good Home Planning” using colored slides to depict scenes for farm
homes that were well planned, convenient, comfortable living. One of the things
stressed in this discussion was that the planning of the farm home should be
done jointly considering every member of the family and home activities.
