Interest In
Clothing Up
COLLEGE STATION, Feb. 16.
—Of the 190 Texas counties with
county home demonstration
agents, 156 carried active cloth-
ing programs in 1948. Thirty-
two additional counties did some
clothing work as a carry-over
from active programs in past
years
Continued high prices of cloth-
ing was no doubt one of the rea-
sons why home demonstration
club women and 4-H Club girls
showed so much interest in
clothing construction, planning
and care, say the extension cloth-
ing specialists of Texas A. & M-
College. Articles made at home
netted a savings up to '/a the
price of like garments ready-to-
wear.
They report that more than
571,000 garments were made by
home demonstration women, and
18,350 families improved their
clothing by better planning. Ad-
ditional thousands improved the
family clothing by changing
their sewing methods and by us-
ing better sewing equipment.
Accessories came in for their
I share of the attention. More
i than 9.000 bags and 4.100 pairs
! of gloves were made.
The outstanding event in girls'
4-H Club clothing work was the
dress revues held in 126 coun-
ties. Representatives from 96
counties participated in the State
4-H Dress Revue which was held
during the State Fair of Texas.
Some 5,200 girls participated in
these dress revues.
•1-H girls, conclude the special-
ists, made almost 101,000 gar-
ments during the year.
