where she had worked, from Muskoka to Kenora. The presentation was made by Mrs. J. McDonald, F.W.I.O. board member for Temis- kaming and Cochrane, who spoke of the home economist's hardships in covering her territory thirty years ago when “the North was not exactly a pathless wilderness but was. much mere primitive than it is today," yet_ If MISS Petty said she would be in a certain place at a certain time she was there." Said Mrs. McDonald: “The Club girls she worked wrth loved her and their mothers loved her for the help and encouragement she gave their daughters.” “The first time I saw Miss Petty with her girls was at a Junior Farmers’ Conference," said Mrs, McDonald. “And although every one of her districts was represented, she not only knew every girl by name, but she was enquiring about their families as well. So it is small wonder that they wished to express, on the eve of her retirement, just how much they have loved and appreciated her." Mrs. Chadbourne, president of the Nipissing Women’s Institute District, also spoke, thank- ing Miss Petty not only for her interest in the girls. but for her concern for the whole community. A MIXED CLASS IN HOME CRAFTS ORTH STAR Institute, near Shillington N in South Cochrane1 had a rather unâ€" usual class for its Home Crafts Work- shop. a rten day course given by Miss Isabel Leslie of the Home Economics Extension Serv- ice. The course included leathercraft, moccaâ€" sins, glove making and weaving. The following notes are taken from Miss Leslie's report: “The attendance on the first day was small. Haying had started very late and was then in full swing so a number of women who had expected to take the course either had to help with the hay or had no way of getting to the class because the men were too busy to drive them. "Eight teen-aged girls came and after the first day the mother of two of them asked if her boys could come and make watch-straps. The boys were twins, nine years old, but they did very well, punching the holes f0r lacing and doing the lacing very carefully. Then a teen-aged boy came and made an excellent wallet and a collar for his dog. The next addition to the class was a man who wanted to make a wide belt to wear on his motorâ€" cycle. The belt and the tooled lettering ‘Sâ€"le-L-L-I-N-G-Tâ€"O-N' were very well done and he said the belt cost only about one-fifth of the price if he had had to buy it. “A woman with a bad case of arthritis worked very hard making a leather ‘binder’ or case for carrying school books for her daughter and made over two othersâ€"a large project for anyone. This woman had taken a Workshop course last year. After that she bought some tools and she did a consider-“Mi amount of leatherwork during the winin" L “Another woman who took the courh- lac-i year Specialized in making Stamped [willér belts which she has developed into a miner profitable hobby."

When Miss Elizabeth Master of HOIll‘ ri- nomics Service spoke at the District A liS last summer she stressed the imports 01' education in family relationships or “ps‘ .1- ogy for the homemaker.” (Courses in ti’ll ii‘ ject were dropped from our program law li'.

Here it is: SIXTEEN By Grace Douglas She wants to drive the car now, She wants to learn to fly, She wants to build a penthouse Right up against the sky. She wants to do exciting things, She wants to stay up late, She wants a long black formal, She has a heavy date! She cannot walk in my steps And break her heart with yearning; She needs to chart her own course And live while she is learning. The world lies wide before her The heart within her sings; How shall I guide her restless feet. Yet not restrict her wings? HOME AND COUI‘J'RY
