“Timely Suggestions”
by Jane S. McKimmon in the July, 1936, issue of Carolina Co-operator
I can’t go to the club meeting because I have no one with
whom to leave my children,” is often heard by the home agent in Cherokee and
Graham counties, but this situation does not prevail in the Valleytown Club.
A daughter of one of the club members is a home economics
student and as part of her Child Care Project goes to the club and entertains
the children during the meetings with games and stories. Another 4-H Club
member, 10 years old, takes care of the small children who come with their
mothers to the club in her community. After one meeting she told her mother,
“While you ladies are in session the youngsters and I are organizing a club of
our own.”
Farm Women’s Short Course
“Everybody hopes to come to the farm women’s short course,
July 28-August 1, and I believe if you begin now to make your plans and save
for those five days that you can make the trip possible. It is the country
woman’s one vacation in the year, and we are planning here at State College to
make it a joyous one.”
“As your girls and boys to help with your work while you are
gone, and I believe they can arrange those few days for you; and the whole
household will be better for your vacation. Women, if we are to be interesting
to our husbands and children, we need a little inspiration and new experiences,
and it is worth every effort we can make to get them.”
