ed a meeting of the H ome Econ-
omists in the county Wednesday
afternoon, April 7.
In proclaiming this week, Gov-
ernor Allan Shivens said "Home
Economics is recognized as an
important department in the edu-
cational institutions in Texas. The I
scope of Home Economics activi- ,
ties include homemaking, busi- ;
ness education, research, housing. .
foods and nutrition, textiles and
clothing, family relations and.
child development, family eco- i
nomics and home management and
the preparation of Home Eco-
nomics Teachers. Home Econ-
omists represent a field of serv-
ice, offering splendid opportuni-
ties to the youth of Texas.”
In emphasizing the opportunity
in this field of service, Miss Peach
pointed out the need for home
economists in Home Demonstration
work and other fields.
Miss Mary Evans, president of
the Home Economics Association,
in expressing appreciation to the
Governor for his interest in this
proclamation said, "His action
will serve to increase interest in
Home Economics as the most prac-
tical and worthwhile of all pro-
fessions open to women. Home
economics training prepares a
woman for the greatest of all ca-
reers, homemaking, as well as
providing job opportunities, per-
haps unequaled in any other
field."

The demonstration will be given
by A. H. Walker, range special-
ist of the extension service, Col-
lege Station. Mr. Walker will
demonstrate the uses of 2-4-5-T
and animate and other chemicals
for timber and brush control.
Timber and brush take a lot of
the moisture that should be used
by good legumes and grasses and
by chemical control of timber
and brush we can divert some of
the much needed moisture to
grasses and legumes, says Todd
Berry', county agent. Chemical
control of brush and timber is
also one of the cheapest. It works
in nicely with the farmers plan
where he does not need his land
immediately. By applying control
methods now a farmer can expect
to have timber off within a period
of three years. Much interest
has been shown in the control of
timber and brush with chemicals
and farmers should make an at-
tempt to attend this demonstra-
tion which will be given by a
well qualified man.

rangements for the meeting, says

Electric bulbs, however, should
not be submerged in water but
should be cleaned when cool with
a damp soapy cloth and then wip-
ed dry. Make certain, she adds,
that the fixture and your hands
are dry before placing the clean
bulb or bowl back into its outlet.
If bulbs appear darkened even
after cleaning replace them with
new ones. Otherwise, the family
may still not be getting full bene-
fit from electric power consumed.
Dispose of old bulbs and tubes
so there’s no broken glass to be-
come a hazard, particularly to
