WHEATFIELD HOME ECONOMICS

The Wheatfield Home Economics club met on November 8 with Mrs. Joseph O’Conner with 13 members and 2 visitors present. The meeting was conducted by Hazel Dunn, acting as Pres. Pro-fem in the absence of both the president and vice president. The son of the month “How Can I Leave Thee’ was sung, following

by the pledge to the flag. Roll ' call was then answered by naming the article most desired for the home as a Christmas gift. Due to the fact that wq had no leaders appointed for the last lesson “Window Treatment.” Mrs. O’Conner obtained the lesson sheets and Lillian Grube and Doris Myers will give the lesson in January and February. We then discussed our annual Christmas Family dinner which we abandoned for the duration of the war. A committee consisting of five members, Ethel O’Conner, Chairman; Anna Heston, Marion Postma, Doris Myers, and Nina Geraci, was appointed to make thb necessary arrangements and provide the menu. Our County President, Mrs. Ern- ’ est Rockwell, was then introduced, and an interesting discussion of ! various club activities proved very interesting. Mrs. Neal -Rockwell was also a guest. Hazel Dunn were the “Birthday Gals” this month and we celebrated with ice cream, cake, plus potluck lunch. Next month will be a regular meeting instead of the planned allday meeting. We will have our Christmas exchange and Secret Pal exchange, draw our new pals i for 1947 and reveal those of 1946. Club adjourned to meet December 13 *with Marion Postma.
