An invitation to join is not necessary, if a woman is interested in extension homemakers, a club is located for her. The 65 clubs are located in all townships in the county. Women of all ages are members. Some dubs meet in the afternoon and many in the evening due to working members. The, organization of the dub is more or less tailor made to fit the group. Education is the basic purpose of the extension homemaker organization. Every meeting includes an educational feature presented by one of the members. To get the information for the lesson the leader attends a county leader training lesson. These lessons are taught by area home economists. Topics of up coming lessons indude: Growing Toward Retirement, Cooking Bags and Wraps, How to Manage Your Time, and The Total Outfit — Using Accessories. Each lesson is presented in the afternoon and repeated in the evening for working women. A typical extension homemaker meeting would indude a business session, health and safety remarks, citizenship remarks, garden tips, song of the month, and a lesson. Most of the dubs are active in community affairs and should be ap-
