NOBBES, State press Chairman More and more our club women are mixing with their study of literature and the fine arts, a study of the most essential art, home-making:. The de partment of home economics of tl\e North Carolina Federation has sup plied the main instruction from outside sources to the club women on phases therefore the home economics program for our federated clubs during 1922-23, as outlined by Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, of Goldsboro, chairman of this depart ment. is of especial interest. “In planning a home economics pro gram,” said Mrs. Smith, “I would sug gest that a local program be formula ted to meet the local needs of the com munity or of the individual^ club mem bers. This can only be done wisely after making a survey of the commu nity and using the information gath ered as a guide for activities that are practicable. I shall be glad to furnish copies of plans for this survey to the clubs. ‘‘At this time when federal and state funds are available for a home eco nomics education, it is necessary to know if your community is getting its proportional part, or if not, why? Make a study of the money available, that needed from local funds, the equipment, and what can be done by the club to further the interest in and opportunities for studying home-mak ing. “Just at this time when there is a demand for economy there is the great est need for your co-operation along this line. All of us, I am sure, are gratified over what has been done in our state for the rural girls and women by the home demonstration work; and realize that statistics in malnutrition alone today show the need for our girls to appreciate the importance and necessity of training for the profession of housewife. ‘‘Dr. P. p. Claxton says: 'Of all the • iris, those pertaining: to home-making are the most important, and of all the sciences, those which find their appli cation in the home, making us intel ligent about the home and its needs, are the most significant.’ ‘‘The study of home economics should first be directed toward nutrition, in relation to health and efficiency. Proper nutrition not only for the school child, which includes a consideration of the .‘chool lunch and the hot dish supple ment. but proper nutrition for the indi vidual adulj; in each family and the community. “The study of food does not mean merely a study of recipes, as many people are apt to believe, but includes i study of the production of foods, ! heir preparation and service, funda mental principles underlying the cook fry of all foods, food values,*, combina tions, food for children, food for the rick, correct habits of eating, market ing and storage as well as many other related subjects. “The attention of club women was directed to curb markets a year ago ijnil with their co-operation .and the eo-bperation of tjie extension depart ment, 12 curb markets were most suc cessfully operated during the past ses ;• ion with some half dozen more ready in begin operation another year. “On our program, also, comes a study *-f clothing, wrhjch includes attention to ! i rics, principles of design* appro p! iationess, color, use and, alteration of patterns, clothing budget and econ omy in buying. "We must remember .that a study of the home includes a study of home grounds, selection of the site, materials for building, rooms and their arranges ment, house furnishings and furni ture. Closely associated with the house is the problem of home management. “Club women will be interested to know that Miss Helen Louise Johnson, of New York city, may be secured for lectures during February and March in our state; and Dr. Frank Alvah Par sons, president of the New York School of Fine a,nd Applied Art, may be se cured through the Raleigh club. It has been my good fortune to hear both of these speakers and funds expended for securing same will be well worth while. "It seems to me that every home maker, in fact, every woman, should be interested in the study of home economics, defined according to Ellen H. Richards, as ‘Home,’ meaning the place for the shelter and nurture of children, development of self-sacrific ing qualities and of strength to meet the world'; and ‘economics’ meaning the management of this home along eco nomic lines as to time and energy as well as money.” Goldsboro Club Is Civic Factor The woman’s club is now a great civic factor in the life of Goldsborp. Sphere are 240 members, many of them added during the past year. The club is divided into five departments, along the lines laid down-by the general fed eration, civic, hom& economics, educa tion literature and music. The club has established a cafeteria, where only the best food is served, and the pat ronage is constantly increasing. A $19,000 lot has been purchased, $9,000 of which has been paid. In the near future it is hoped a handsome club home ^will be erected. Spirited Resolutions By New Bern Club At a recent meeting of the New Bern Woman’s club, a committee of two was appointed to call on the school trustees and ask them to provide some way of furnishing the children who remain at the public school during the noon hour-with at least one plate of hot soup during the winter months. After a report from a committee which had been instructed to interview the mayor and board mf aldermen upon their reasons for voting to continue or revoke the permit of the Metropolitan club, the following very spirited res olutions were .adopted: . I “Whereas, the Woman’s club deems that its object in having a committee visit the mayor and aldermen has b®e" accomplished, which was U). " information from our city officials, (2) to, show these officials that the club w^men are watching the reports of their meetings with interest, (3) to rouse d women of the town to greater interest in politics and civic hetterment, therefore, be it "Resolved That the club send a note to fhe mayor and aldermen thanking them for their Response to the club’s request and to say that the «l«h thinks this subject needs further investig tion and has confidence that in our city officials that they they wHl do what is best for the young men of £he "And be it resolved, That we, me individual members of the Womans Club, are convinced that it is our du y hereafter to take more interest in civic affairs and we determine in future elections that we will take active part and stron&ly support the men who have worked and voted for the right. "Be it resolved that these resolu tions be made public.’' General Federation Headquarters Now Miss Margaret Lovell Gibson, of Wilmington, state federation director of North Carolina, who is in Washing ton, D. C., this week attending the meeting of the General Federation board, writes that the beautiful new home, which the general federation of women’s clubs has purchased in the city of Washington, will be formally opened during the board meeting. Miss Gibson also makes the following plea to the North Carolina club women to pay off their share of the debt in curred in purchasing this building: "As is well known throughout club dom ,the General Federation of Wom en’s clubs lias purchased a handsome residence in the city of Washington to be used as general federation head quarters—1734 N street, N. W. To finance this, voluntary subscriptions are being asked from the club women of America. Mrs. Winters, the presi dent, desires that these subscriptions shall in no way be considered as as sessments, either upon the clubs or upon the individual members. "However, at Chautauqua the states made pledges to the amount of $100, 000, a number of the states subscrib ing several thousand each. North Carolina pledged only $500,000; and we feel sure we can quickly raise this amount and perhaps even a larger sum. "Will the individual clubs place this before their members, and secure as much as they think that they can af ford toward the credit of their state? Checks can be made payable to Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, or to me as state director through whose hands all North Carolina funds are expected to pass." Mrs] Cooper In Washing-ton Mrs. Sydney P. Cooper, of Henderson, state federation president, is spending the week in Washington, D. C.,‘ at tending the board meeting of the Gen eral Federation. VARNISH .

THE STAR PLAYS i HOST TO GRAND MOTHERS OF CITY Free Tickets to See “Grand ma’s Boy” at the Grand j x Thursday. ! - Grandma’s day has come! We have ; long; been of the opinion that the | writers of screen stories had been J overdoing the “mother" sympathy angle and had overlooked the dearest, ‘ most cherished and lovable character | around the household—Grandma. In ! “Over the Hill,” “The Old Nest" and 1 kindred screen dramas the laurels j have been heaped upon mamma's head j until she has a headache. But now Grandma has come into her j own with the filming by Harold Lloyd, of his first five reel super-comedy erea J tion. "Grandma’s Boy,” and the Star is so anxious that all of the aged women of Wilmington get a chance to enjoy [ this picture which places them right ! up on the high pedestal, that arrange j ments have been made whereby the Star will play hosts, to all the grand ! mothers of Wilmington during the I opening day of the pictures at the | Grand theatre. . , ! “Grandma’s Boy” was selected by the i organization of critics of America as the greatest comedy , production of 1922. It was selected for third place oil the list of the ten* greatest pictures of all classes during that year, the only two standing ahead of it being "Robin | Hood” and "When Knighthood Was In 1 Flower.” But under all the humor, all I | the Infectious mirth which Lloyd ra diates from the celluloid surface of this screen play, there is a lesson for. cow ards, the puny, the hesitant, and its story centers about the most cherished of American ideals—courage. *> It is through this high universal re spect for the cleanliness" of Harold Lloyd’s screen work and for the high tribute that Grandma's Bay” pays to the grandmothers of America that the Star invites all grandmas in Wilming ton to be their guest on the opening day of this picture It matters not how. many there are—we haven’t even attempted to estimate the number—but fifty, five hundred or five thousand— there’s a ticket waiting for everyone of them at the Star office.* The tickets will be available on and after tomorrow morning; an■1!ituoro a topppIt T until ri not sweep a room without resting.
