Kirton comments: “As leader I benefited considerably both in learning at first hand the rules of good nutrition and also from having to pass on my knowledge to othâ€" ers. For young housekeepers the course would be invaluable. For myself, I now forcibly re- strain myself from preparing the vegetables before I go to church." I Mrs. R. Davis reports that she had qu1te a number of young married women in her group and that several of them have phoned to tell her how much their families had enâ€" joyed the new dishes they had served as a result of the project. The onion and potato soup seemed to be a general favorite. Mrs. Stuart Shier inquired at two Institute meetings following the project and found that one member uses more cheese and tries to see that each member of the family gets the proper quota of milk; another has made the fancy sandwiches on several occasions; and two others have used all the recipes in the members’ pamphlet and some of the dishes are now family favorites. Miss Elizabeth Hotson found that among her members several are now having more soupsâ€"potato, carrot or other vegetable with milk as the added liquid. One had not used tuna fish before and now uses it frequently in sandwiches and salads; another uses it ex- tensively in casseroles.

Help me to know The inmost hearts of those for whom I care, Their secret wishes, all the loads they bear, That I may add my courage to their own. May I make lonely folks feel less alone, And happy ones a little happier yet.
