When you have a message, and when you have convietion, you will find that you will be able to 1 speak effectively without too mueh eonseious effort. Two thousand I years ago, Horace expressed this 1 very idea when he wrote: "Seek not for words, seek only facts and , thought. And crowding in will come the words unsought." You ' will find his advice just as sharp and to the point today as it ever was. If you decide to prepare a talk and enter this 4-H Public Speak ing Contest, come by the office of j either your County Agent or : Home Agent and pick up your copy : of the folder on "How To Make ! A Convincing Speech." Thinking of giving a party at i home, or maybe preparing a meal | for a birthday, holiday or some , other speotal occasion? If so, the first thing you want | to do, is to plan and plan well. j Ask your mother's advice and get her to help you with your plan ning.

Orientation Can Save Some Money Orientation ? the turning of a house to shelter major window areas from hot summer sun ? is taking on greater importance with the spreading popularity of air con ditioning. Sometimes you can accomplish a lot by reversing a plan. Hold a clipping of a plan, or a tracing ol I it, against a window pane and look through the reverse side to see il you like the layout better in re verse. In the experimental air condi tioned village at Austin, Texas, it was found that as much as a ton ot | cooling capacity might have been i saved by slightly turning some of I the houses on their lots. 7. Plan for decorations and col- 1 or scheme. 8. List jobs to be done and plan ! them in order. This is important as you want all foods in your meal ! to come out at the right time. It i helps if you make two lists one ] of the jobs to be done on the day ! of meal, or several days ahead of ! time; and one of these that have to j wait until the day of the meal. j Plan as few last minute jobs as possible. Pressing table cloths and napkins, polishing silver, getting j out extra dishes and flower con- j tainers and purchasing food are i jobs to be done ahead of time, i Cleaning and preparing vegetables and storing them in refrigerator may be done the day before. 9. Study your plan and keep it well in mind. When you are ready to cook, get 1 out your written plan and keep it handy. If wood stove is used, you will need to make fire first if heat is needed. Put on a clean wash dress and apron. Wash hands care fully, and arrange your hair away from face. Get out recipes and study them. Turn on oven or burners and heat water, if needed. Collect equipment j and supplies needed for recipes. | Have clean dish towels, hand towel j and pot lifters nearby. Measure ca/efully all ingredients. What you have learned in your years of 4-H Foods work will help you. Try to keep the kitchen neat and clean. Work neatly and keep working space clean. Learn to' wash some equipment at spare mo ments. When you're finished, leave kitchen clean and in order. These are just general sugges tions and points to remember, and to help you with preparing foods for special occasions. I will give you some ideas and helps with re cipes for party foods in the nextl 4-H'ers column. Artist's conception of how family room and adjoining kitchen work out.
