Apprentice Home Agent Enjoys Work

“I enjoy it” was the way Delores Spence summed up her training experience as apprentice agent in Adams county thus far. year-old Purdue senior will work closely with home demonstration agent Lois Folk during the summer months in learning the organization and setup of demonstration work. As mainly an observer, her tasks will include attending as many meetings as possible, planning activities at the 4-H fair, counselling at 4-HT camp, and in Miss Spence’s own words, “gaining an insight of what home demonstration really is.” Already on Thursday of this week, she will serve as counsellor of the Adams county delegation at the junior leaders' camp at Camp Limberlost on Oliver Lake. Beginning Sunday, she will assist Miss Folk as counsellor of the combined Adams-Wells county 4-H camp, also at Camp Limberlost. With her wide background in home economics, it is little wonder that Miss Spence feels right at home in her new capacity. In her home township of Jefferson, Huntington county, she was a member of the N-2-Win club for 11 years and also served as leader for one year. ; - At Purdue her interests have carried over to where she has assumed an active role in home economics work. Living at Twin Pines cooperative house, which is sponsored by the home demonstration clubs of Indiana, has given Miss Spence an opportunity unequaled in leadership ability. At the house, each girl shares in cooking, cleaning, making work schedules, and learning the general routine of a normal household. Miss Spence has held many of the offices of Twin Pines, including secretary, work manager, and treasurer. Next semester she will step into the presidential position. Also at Purdue, the apprentice agent is a member of the women’s athletic and recreational association and collegiate 4-H.

A. - ■ Il Delores Spence international farm youth exchange and also to make contacts with businessmen who help to sponsor the exchange students. For several years Miss ( Spence has served as county chairman of Huntington county, and last year, was chairman of the Fort Wayne district which Comprises the counties of Steuben, Kosciusko, LaGrange, DeKalb, Wells Whitley, Wabash, Adams, -Allen, Huntington, Elkhart, and Noble.

Asked about the people of Adams county, Miss Spence found them to be “very friendly.” She stated it was a privilege to be able to work with them. Girls who wish summer apprentice jobs should contact county agents, who place them throughout the state. Because not all counties have home demonstration agents and because funds are sometimes inadequate, the number of girls in training is limited. While in training, Miss Spence is living with the Noah Habegger famly in Berne. A girl of diverslfied interests, she enjoys sewing and needlework especially. But music, reading, and sports also fill the life of a busy apprentice agent.
