numbers and there was quite a flock of pre- school children to give life to the summary day as well as the local meetings. In Addington at least one man and one boy caught the women's enthusiasm and each made at least one rug. The Stamford group said they enjoyed their classes so much that they got together almOSt every week to hook and chat. Welland county‘s summary day had two visitors from a neighboring county who were setting up a craftshop and were interested in buying rugs, but none of the women cared to part with the rugs they had made. The “Focus on Finishes” project lends itself readily to exhibits. In Rainy River district every one of the nineteen groups who sent leaders to the training school exhibited at the summary day. There were over 300 articles on display. Two groups made mother and daughter aprons and the women had their little girls to help with the modelling. One of these groups was from the Christian Reform Church and the women were Dutch Canadians. Another group had made colâ€" lars which they displayed on coat hangers folded to act as stands, each hanger carrying also a card of the bias binding the women had made and used in the collars. They also made aprons and toaster covers to match and when they mod- elled the aprons they wore the covers on their heads. In Kenora an item of interest was a child's red corduroy dress that a German woman who had done little sewing before, had made for her little girl. Another small model was a little boy Wearing a jacket and parity suit his mother had made for him. At Halton‘s summary day, we are told, one group was especially proud of a member, a Scot- tish girl with a large family, at least two of them still of preâ€"school age. The mother had never sewn before she joined the group in the sewing project but she was anxious to learn and could not take advantage of the short courses because of her family ties. The leaders of the group arranged to hold their group meetings in this woman's large recreation room so that she would not have to leave home to attend. She made a cotton blouse with the rest of the group and a wool skirt to wear with it. She um brought along to summary day her two pre-sthhm daughters, partly of necessity and pal-[1V bog,“ they were wearing the first dresses she had than: for them.

Details are not yet completed but the plan is to offer this service at the District level with the District Convener of Home Economics and Health as the key person. Branch conveners and others interested would have the opportunity of meeting for one day to collect and exchange ideas which would help them plan “Eat to Live" programmes for their local groups. Already the Extension Service has drawn up a partial list of subjects which might be undertaken by a local gronp. This list includes such sugges- tions’as promoting pro-natal clinics or classes, studying and improving (if necessary) school lunch 24 arrangements in the community, debunkinz' m1 fads, arranging panel discussions for open mt where to obtain speakers on special food ‘I 9-H and others even to ideas for “Eat to Live” rt 11- ments at Institute meetings.
