Homemakers month
By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Extension Agent, Home Ec. The month of October has been declared ‘‘Homemakers Month by Governor Bowen. Without question homemaking is the largest single occupation in the world The services provided by a homemaker are often taken for granted Today’s homes are often miniature businesses for much of the services in its operation. In recognizing the women’s role in planning, controlling and evaluating the activites of her home, people are beginning to suggest the term “home manager" as an appropriate description of this responsibility Home management is a demanding job Traditionally this has been a female responsibility. Even today when "women’s liberation" is a household term we find the major responsibility for managing the home the woman's responsibility. With the increased use of many work-saving appliances, home managers still find themselves pressed for time. Perhaps much of this is due to the fact that 50 per cent of the homemakers in Indiana hold down 40 hour a week jobs outside the home Also today’s woman participates more in community service projects, on councils and boards In years gone by the familyworked as a unit on the familyfarm Every member of the family was needed to help out. Working side by side, the family as a unit was strengthened Perhaps today the job of managing the home is a family activity With the father, mother, sons and daughters working together as "homemakers.’’ Fall Luncheon The extension homemaker fall luncheon is planned for October 29 at noon at the Shrine building The key note speaker will be Dr Lee Ellen Ford, executive assistant to Governor Bowen Tickets are available at the extension office
