Watkins, di rector of the Extension Service. “And not only farm women but those from towns and cities as welL” Of special interest to women will be the exhibits on nutrition and on efficient kitchens and the demonstrations which home economics specialists of the Ex tension Service from Winthrop win give at each stop the train makes. Hie nutrition exhibit is built a- nrand food conservation, food preparation, and spending the food dollar wisely. Canned food that helps to in sure an adequate diet the year round, arranged to help simplify meal planning, will be shown and discussed. A ventilated pantry that keeps food better than an ordinary pantry because the temperature is lower in summer and warmer In cold weather will be an inter esting feature. The food preparation exhibit will stress the use of home-made wheat, meal, and syrup products. How to get food value for your money will be shown in the two educational exhibits: one showing how $1.00 can buy three times as much food value if spent wisely, the other showing how much more food value there is in dark cereals than in white cereals. Since it is realized that women spend more time in the kitchen than in any other room in the house, an efficient U-shaped, ■ sanitary kitchen arranged to save time, steps, and backaches will be an outstanding exhibit. This kitchen shows convenient storage space to fit utensils and supplies, correct heights for sink and other working surfaces, and other phases of kitchen efficiency. An extra feature of the train’s opening program in Columbia, September 8, will be a group of girls modeling a cotton wardrobe for cold weather. rxx Greenwood College Of Commerce To Occupy New Quarters boro and Anderson.
