History of Snow Hill-White
Hat Ext. Homemakers Club
G. A. Coronation
The history of fifty yean of
Club work in Perquimans County
continues with the history of the
Snow Hill-White Hat Extension
Homemakers Club.
The Snow Hill-White Hat Club
started out as two Clubs one in
each Community. They met in
the Community Schools.
In 1917-1918 the women and
girls met as a canning club, with
Miss Helen Gaither as uVr Club
Leader; They would meet at the
schools with their vegetables and
fruit, and process it in tin cp.ns,
using a large metal pot heated by
a wood fire.
Miss Gaither held special
classes for the girls, in making
quick breads. Afterwards, they
took up other phases of
homemaking.
Miss Gladys Hamrich came to
the county in 1935, and shortly
afterward Snow Hill-White Hat
combined their clubs, becoming
enelarge club. We met in the
homes of the club members and
enjoyed learning and sharing
ideas in the newly organized
club.
Our program of work it
planned by club members to
.include all phases of
homemaking. We take part in
community projects, also. The
Cancer Crusade is one of the
community services that the
club takes part in.
- Family night, with invited
guests, is held in February and
' we serve them a dinner, and
have a special program.
The Club Luncheon is held in
August.
We look forward each year to
our Christmas party, in
December. We sing carols,
exchange gifts and have a good
time.
We always help out with
Christmas open house in
December, also.
We attend the twenty fifty
District of the Home Demon
stration Clubs, which began in
1936.
A Fall Achievement Day has
been held in Perquimans and the
club women gather to sum up the
year's work.
Snow Hill-White Hat has
outstanding leadership, who
have held and attended
workshops to teach their skills or
crafts to others.
One member was instructor at
the District Crafts workshop at
East Carolina University at
Greenville, N. C. She taught
Italian Hemstitching. She also
held workshops in her home, in
Hertford, and Edenton. The
workshop for tote bags was quite
a success. ;
We are proud of a member who
has a twenty-nine year perfect
attendance record. She also
represented the county at
Raleigh, N. C. as "Mother of the
Year."
Two members, at different
times, were delegates
representing Perquimans
County at the United Nations.
The A and Leadership Award
was presented a member three
times, which was a record.
Two state offices were held,
that of Corresponding Secretary
and Recording Secretary, by
club members.
Snow Hill-White Hat sent two
of its club women, at different
times, as Perquimans County
representatives to the National
Citizenship Council in
Washington, D. C.
- One club member served on
the Reorganization Board for
Home Demonstration Clubs, at
Raleigh, N. C.
Several have . held District
offices and one was president for
the twenty fifth District of Home
Demonstration Clubs.
Two are on the Program of
Work Committee for the District.
4-H sponsors and leadership
have come from the club.
Members are industrious and
resourceful and have learned to
do many things to make better
homes, and family living. Self-
improvement, a reading
program and music is en
couraged.
A cake maker and decorator
created beautiful and delicious
cakes - profitable too.
Ceramics, decoupage, knit
ting, flower arranging
refinishing furniture
reupholstering, tailoring suits,
dresses, hats, food, nutrition and
many others helped make for
better living and brought in a few
blue ribbons at fairs.
Six of the Snow Hill-White Hat
club members have new homes,
and others have done extensive
renovations.
We have four Committee
Chairmen on the County Council
Our music chairman has served
for several years.
After Miss Hamrich left the
County Miss Frances Maness
came then Mrs. Nina White,
Miss Kimsey Perry, Mrs.
Florence Webb, Miss Nancy
Lilley, Mrs. Paige Underwood
and Mrs. Ila Grey White. We
have had good leadership and
have grown. A club which was
organized for the purpose of
learning to can and called a
canning club, became a women's
club then a Home Demonstration
Club and after reorganization the
Extension Homemakers
Association. We have come
long way, and are now involved
in all phases of homemaking,
Family Living World and civic
affairs and community
leadership. We now have twenty
one members.
Mrs. Whit Cartwright is the
current president.
Mrs. Delwin H. Eure,

Winfall Homemakers Club
By Mrs. I.E. Rogerson, Pres.
What is now the Winfall Home
Makers Club is the outgrowth of
the Winfall Canning Club. This
club had its beginning in June
1932. King A. Williams, a teacher
of Agriculture in the Perquimans
Co. Union School, gives the
following account.
Mr. Williams saw the need of
the preservation of food in this
county and organized these clubs
for the conservation of food in
each community. Canning Clubs
were set up throughout the
county. The State Government
gave vegetable seeds to the
families so that they could raise
food and then preserve it by
canning. The people had to
furnish their own jars. Later the
county furnished the seeds and
jars which were repaid by turn
ing back to the county one jar
out of every dozen. These were
distributed to the needy of the
county.
The "Live at Home Project"
was an outgrowth of the above
method. There was a great need
and scarcity of food. The Winfall
community organized a "can
ning club which was composed
persons who raised and
preserved their products at
canning classes. They would hold
them outdoors under big trees
where they would process their
vegetables by using the open
kettle method. They would use a
fraction of an hour there and
repeated the other two processes
at their homes.
He further states that this was
the first county in the state to
inaugurate this type of program
among Negroes. He also states
that it reached its highest peak in
1935-36 when this record went
from 1500-45,000 jars. S. B.
Simmons was the State Super
visor of Negro Agriculture
Education at this time.
Today the Winfall Club is still
active. Mrs. Mary Riddick, our
recently deceased past
president, served well and long.
The president is Mrs. Idonia E.
Rogerson. She says the present
obiectives are so varied that they
may serve a greater service to
the home than ever.
