CLAUDE, ARMSTRONG COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, NOV. «, 1958.

News from H.D.
Agent's office
by Virginia Hill
Agents conference
Well, I attended the first State
Extension Workers Conference I
have ever attended. I must ad-
mit I hadn't looked forward to
it much, but I did enjoy it to the
fullest. Some of you may think
it was meant, to just give us de-
monstrations. This wasn't the pur-
pose at all.
We had several interesting spe-
akers and like some many times
happens, there were a few that
weren't too interesting. All in all,
though, the meeting was awfully
good and I enjoyed it fully.
County Program Building
sub-committees
On Monday. Nov. 3, there were
seven women from the county
who met in the agent's office to
start a Program Building Com-
mittee for the women.
Miss Edith L. Wilson, district
agent, was present to explain a
little tit about the work of the
sub-committees.
Those members attending the
meeting were Mrs. Lee Goodin,
Mrs. Glen Butler, Mrs. Henry
Ford, Mrs. Aline Adams, Mrs.
Bertha Mahler, Mrs. H. C. Yar-
brough, Mrs. Harry Benson.
Family business centers
are helpful .. .
Could you locate valuable pa-
pers, deeds, wills, insurance poli-
cies in a hurry in your home?
Most of us do not anticipate em-
ergencies, such as fire, accidents
or other disasters, but we do lose
time, when we can't find impor-
tant receipts or cancelled checks
simply because we do not have
a well-planned place to put them.
Planned business centers are
appearing in more homes these
days. They provide a comfortable
place to work for a few minutes
each day; a place to keep a
ready file on bills, cancelled
checks, important papers.
All you need is an ample, com-
fortable, well lighted writing cen-
ter, a comfortable chair, handy
file for current materials, another
file or storage place for back re-
cords, waste basket and desk
supplies.
You don't have to have an
expensive desk or anything new
to fix a business center. One per-
son I know converted an old
chest of drawers into a business
center. She spent a total of $4.38
for the whole project.
Guide for balanced meals
Are you sure that all family
members are getting a balanced
daily diet? What about those
members who eat out or carry
their lunches. What do you use
for a guide to plan your meals.
The Texas Food Standard is a
little pamplet that gives the daily
recommended allowance of the
different foods you need each day.
They are small enough for you
to keep near your cooking center
to use as a guide. Come by and
pick up a copy at the agent's of-
fice. You can save time, money
and energy by planning meals
ahead of time.

THIS fS PART OF
THE PROCESS
OF
* <arROW!N& UP"
Dear Miss D.: It is difficult in-
deed to draw the line at a certain
age and say that a girl is "old
enough" to go out with boys.
I think that you realize thin fact be-
cause in your letter you say that it is
"only fair . . . that you know how to
act." The importance of "how you act"
cannot be underertimatcd b-cause it
is your actions that tell people the
kind of person that you are
A girl does not "ruin her name"
simply because she goes with boys
or has dates. Dating boys and
going with them to movies, parties
and high school events is a nat-
ural part of the process of "grow-
ing up." It becomes "wrong"
when a girl in her early teens has
too many dates, with too many
boys (usually boys older than hef«
self) and neglects the obligations
that she has to be a part of her
family group, to make the best of
her education, and to be a good
citizen in the community.
In direct answer to your question, I
would say that any girl of 14 who goes
out with boys "about every night" i
most certainly flirting with seriout
trouble. If she has a home life, she is
gradually separating herself from it;
contributing little to the family and
getting nothing in return. She is de-
voting little, if any time to her school
work and is therefore not getting the
type nf education she needs to become
a useful and satisfied citizen of tht
community.
To repeat, there is nothing
"wrong" with going with boys.
But, dating has its place—and that
place is somewhere behind fami-
ly life and family responsibilty;
school work and education; and
most certain!}', behind church and
religious activities.

Test your knowledge—or your guessing ability: See how far you mui
read before you can identify the location of the statue shown above.
The statue shown above is the world's largest iron man and America's
second largest statue.
The 55-foot tall statue of Vulcan, mythical god of the forge, weighs
120,000 pounds and is the symbol of the natural resources of the city
where it may be found. , .
Surpassed only in size by the Statue of Liberty. Vulcan stands atop a
pedestal on Red Mountain, overlooking one of the South's great cities.
In the valley below Vulcan, an industrial city produces millions of
tons of steel ingots and finished steel products, as well as enormous
pig iron tonnage and 60 per ccnt of the nation s supply of cast iron
pressure pipe.
The city: Birmingham, Alabama.

"As this is my second electric range, I know from experience
that electric cooking gives me double satisfaction. I get the
satisfaction of seeing my family eat good, properly-cooked
foods. And then, for a mother, perhaps an even greater
satisfaction in seeing my daughter, Linda, baking cakes and
learning the fine art of cooking in the easiest and safest way, electrically.'
