All cherry-stained the hands that turn the hymnbook's yellow pages, And sun-burned men, clearâ€"eyed and stern, Chant out the Rock of Ages. The pews reflect the sunset cloud, A truce to fear and doubting â€"â€" And over heads devoutly bowed, Young lovers' eyes are shouting. 1* 'k it 16 The District Director should see that the Board Director has enough time at the Dis- trict Annual for her report and for a this”; sion period after it.

The =,| leader method makes it possible to react most peopleâ€"not only because one p1 - sional at a training school can teach se 1 leaders, who in turn teach their local gtr . but also because a local leader can art via her teaching for a time convenient to mo .-i the women including youug mothers, it at gives a special training to those who taki «3 responsibility of leading. A problem or I: Department is to keep its full quota of l! ' Economistsâ€"which is why we want Mac t- ald Institute to be enlarged. The Dir: r urged the Institutes, when they fill out r yearly Report of Meetings form, to 6)., \5 their views on extension services; to let =e Department know what they want. People learn little just by hearing pr- is speak, Miss McKercher said. They learn It *1 when they get involved themselves in heat _-'- seeing and doing. Also they take seriously " 4 they hear from women they know rather " - n from a member of the extension staff. r "J there is the advantage that sessions Car- ‘8 planned for hours when young mothers I" attend. So this year we will have fewer slori courses and more Local Leader schools Elm}. workshoPs. Food Forums “Tricks With a M" (1 HOME AND couNiR"
