Mon.-TueSs, July 22nd-23rd, Beautiful Shirley Temple in “OUR LITTLE GIRL" Wed.-Thurs., Ju’y 24th-25th, Mae West in “COIN’ TO TOWN” Shows—3:15—7:15—9:00 The extension division of Mc Cormick County has been very fortunate in securing Miss Dicksie Lee Lewis, a representative from the Ball Brothers Company, Muncie, Indiana, to be in this county two days next week, Thurs day and Friday, July 25th-26th, to conduct a free canning school.. Miss Lewis is a Home Economics graduate of Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee. Before her college work was completed she had entered her chosen profession of dietitian. During the school year she was in demand as super visor for numerous banquets given for large groups of college or city folk. One season was spent as super visor for the beautiful Wonderland Park Club dining room, located in what later became the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Another summer was spent in the study of foods and food marketing in New York City. She then be came assistant to the supervisor of the college dining room, serving between five and six hundred stu dents for three meals daily. Her Extension Service experience began in Kentucky as Home Dem onstration Agent. The following activities were included in this work: Adult classes in Foods and Nutrition, Child’s Care in Feeding, Simple Menu Planning, Keeping the Family Fit, Buying and Pre serving of Foods, Canning and Garden Budgets, School Lunches, and Girls classes in Foods and Nu trition. She introduced the canning of meat by both Pressure Cooker and Water Bath methods. She has giv en much time and effort to the study of meat canning, both as a source of better food and as an economic measure to the farm home. She has frequently appeared be fore Women’s Clubs as speaker and demonstrator, supervised numerous foods exhibits, judged fair exhib its and has written weekly newspa per articles on foods and nutrition. Recently Miss Lewis has conduct ed a series of meat canning dem onstrations in the drought areas in co-operation with the Iowa State College and the State Relief Ad ministration. Through this pro gram, cattle that would have been a total loss to the farmer before the season had passed were con verted into much needed food. Thousands of women have learned that delicious meat may be can ned right in their own kitchens and that a wide variety of meats may be placed on their pantry shelves each year by the canning of beef, hogs and poultry that would otherwise be sold on the market at a loss. In these demonstrations the women actually canned a cow in a day and were so trained that they were able to repeat the demonstra tion in their own communities. She understands the needs of the farm family and the problems in canning that the average farm woman must meet. Through her demonstrations in canning each step is made simple. Women are taught to use the equipment found in their homes for their home can ning, thus eliminating the cost of expensive equipment. A charming personality and the ability to understand the problems of others and to respond to their request for assistance in an alert, sympathetic manner, has gone far toward making her professionally successful. Born in New Mexico, she has lived in several of the Southland’s most picturesque states, where she studied and lived the life of the South. Later, her interest in foods and customs of other sections led her into the North, East and Middle-West where she lived and worked and became familiar with the food habits and food requirements in many states. Her message of “Good food, with the least effort and at the lowest cost” appeals to the housewife of today. She is their friend. The Agent is very anxious es-; pecially for each member of the Home Demonstration Clubs, to at- At its regular bi-monthly meet ing, members of the Troy Grange enjoyed a buffet supper and social hour in the dining room of the Troy graded school building. Special guests on the occasion were Mr. D. B. Anderson, Master of the State Grange, and Bryan Martin, County Grange Master. Everyone had such a good time that it was plan ned to have another such event soon, to which special invitations would be extended to the masters and their wives from the other county Grange units. The business session of the Grange was held in the fraternal room of the building. Mr. Ander son delivered an address on “The Call of the Grange,” after which of ficers were elected and installed, as follows: ' Master, I. A. Puckett, Lecturer, Mary Frances Rush, Secretary, Manly B. Timmons, Overseer, W. B. Price, Chaplain, R. M. Rush, Steward, R. A. Russell, Assistant Steward, R. M. Bell, Lady Assistant Steward, Mabel Lyon, Flora, Mrs. J. R. Palmer, Ceres, Mrs. J. F.

This reunion was organized as the Guillebeaux Reunion in August, 1930. It meets for one day each year in August. It was first or ganized in honor of Andre Guille beaux and his wife, Mary Roque- more Guillebeaux, two of the orig inal members of the little colony of Huguenots which founded and set tled Bordeaux, S. C. (now in Mc Cormick County) in 1764. In this group of Huguenots were found the Giberts, Covins, Rogers, Bouchil- lons, LeRoys, Hemmingers and Pettigrews, along with Guillebeaux and others. In this group which began its immigration from France in 1760, was Dr. John De la Howe, eminent French physician and gentleman farmer, who donated 2,- 000 acres of land and other prop erty in founding the De la Howe State School near the site of the original settlement. At the last session it was voted to change the reunion to the Bor deaux Huguenot Reunion and a well ordered constitution and by laws composed by one of the en thusiastic members, were adopted. Its purpose now is (1) To co-ordi nate and stimulate interest in the perpetuation of memories and lo cal history of the early French set tlers in and around Bordeaux, S. C. (2) To unite the descendants and friends of the early French settlers into a mutual social organization. (3) To provide a forum for the full and free discussion of all matters of public interest to descendants and friends of early French settlers, partisan politics and sectarian re ligion alone excepted. The above purposes are contained in the con stitution. X Mt. Carmel IMews We are glad to say that Mis? Myrtle Dean is able to be up again, after her recent illness.
