WILL CONTINUE CLOTHING WORK Home Economics Clubs In County To Continue With Purdue. There tire al present four home economics dubs organized in us many townships of Adams county which are receiving assistance from the extension department ut Purdue university along the various lines that enter into the work of the farm women. During the present year the major project which has interested the members is the making of dress forms. A representative of the university conducted a one-day training school for the ladies during the spring as the result of which many forms have been made at small cost. Arrangements have been completed whereby all the organizations will continue the clothing work next year, taking up the selection of textiles in ready-made or in piece material, the alteration of patterns. finishing seams,. pockets, bindings, mending, pressing and laundering clothing, as well as many other interesting things which will come up during the study of the subject. Instructor Coming. A member, of the home economics department at Purdue will visit the county six times during the year, at two-month intervals, to instruct two representatives from each organized township club in the work. These representatives will then take the information back to the club at the regular meeting. These •'training meetings" will probably be held in Decatur or at the residence of one of the representatives. The county agent has stated assistance will be given the ladies of any township in organizing a club if they so desire, since members of the clubs now functioning are ready to help in dctfng so. Union, Root, Kirkland and Sb. Marys townships noty have clubs. 0 - —— HIGH SCHOOL GYMS Many New Structures Dot State Os Indiana And More Planned (By Vedder Gard I (Written For United Press! Indianapolis. Dec. 3. —Offly a few years »ago Indiana had no spacious high school gymnasium to care for the physical welfare of the students. Now new structures dot the state and more gyms are being planned in a score of towns and cities. Gyms at Columbus and Noblesville are the last two to be opened Martinsville will have a new gym ready for use in a few weeks. It has all come about because of the tremendous hold basketball has I taken upon Indiana. The little halls and small, crowded gyms could not begin to hold the throngs that wished i to see the contests. The players and coaches after pari ticipatiug on the larger college floors lin the tourneys came back home with i the idea firmly implanted in their ' minds that the hardwood net game i was really a better test of skill on a . larger playing space. The result of the need of space for i players and spectators alike, was a | wide spread agitation for better gyms. ' in some places, of course, new build--1 ings wer(“ out of the question. But ' many schools have been so fortunate as to obtain adequate playing and seating arrangements in new structures. And the best part of the whole program is the fact that basketba'l is not the only athletic use of the gym. Thi whole school can get exercise in properly conducted physical culture classes. There is irn atmosphere of athletic activity around such a school that makes for a sane and healthy out look for the yeuth of the community. The far reaching effects of proper athletics in the high sblfool can not be estimated too highly. The whole school and the entire community are , welded closer together by the spirit of loyalty to a team. The weekly net contests is a means for many to .get away from the humdrum and thousands of citizens throughout Indiana have made basketball their "relaxation from every day affairs., o L BOY SCOUT NOTICE Boy Scout, Troon No. 1. will meet in the Industrial rooms, at 7 o'clockf this evening.
