l A: the Central Ontario Women's Institute Conven- lion two young married club members, following their part in the programme, in- lroduced their children. The husband of one of the girls come lo help with the chil- dren and incidentally to show his approval of home- moking club work. Left to right: Mrs, Leslie Thompson with her two children, Mr. Douglas Earle and Mrs. Earle with their family. Homemaking Clubs and the Family on their programme at the Central Ontario Women’s Institute Convention, two of the young married members, Mrs. Douglas Earle and Mrs. Leslie Thompson, of Derry West Club in Peel County, told how their club work is helping them in their home- making. At the suggestion of their County Home Economist, Mrs. Mabel Borgstrom, these young mothers brought their children along and in- troduced them to the Convention. Mrs. Earle’s husband, Douglas Earle, a member of the Peel County Junior Farmers’ Association, was there to look after the children while his wife was giving a demonstration and in a converâ€" sation on the sidelines he left no doubt as to WHEN the 4â€"H Homemaking Clubs put his appreciation of what homemaking club training means to a girlâ€"especially to a girl not too young to appreciate it and make the most of it. It is an outstanding feature of the Ontario 4-H Homemaking Club programme that it holds the interest of girls right up to the maxiâ€" mum age of twentyâ€"six. Mrs. Earle, who is twenty-six this your, regrets that she cannot continue in the work, though she has com- pleted twelve units. Mrs. Thompson, at twenty-two, has finished her tcnth unit. The complete programme includes units in Foods. Clothing1 House Furnishing, Hospitality, Gar- dening and a Home Defence unit dealing mostly with health and citizenship.

There were other women guests who had been active "juniors" around twenty-five years ago and who had represented their counties at the Central Canada Exhibition and in Royal Win- tEI‘ Fair parties in Toronto. County Achievement Days and intercounty days at fairs each year see more mothers of WINTER 1957 club girlsâ€"who were themselves club girls years agoâ€"dropping in to (-xamino the work and listen to the programme. 0 0 ¢ It seems that each year more girls from Northern Ontario are coming to the inter- county 4-H Homemaking Club meet at the Canadian National Exhibition. And Miss Laura Phippen, District Home Economist for Algoma, west Cochrane, Manitoulin. Sudbury and Temiskaming gives one reason for the good attendance. Miss Phippcn says: “Our girls up here are so pleased to have the oppor- tunity to go to the inter-county meet at the ONE. that they are glad to pay for a car to take them.” From Tcmiskaming eight girls paid for car transportation at a cost of $10 15
