1967 Annual Extension
Report Continued
Family Living: Extension
Homemaker Clubs: There
are 22 Extension Home
maker Clubs under the di
rection of the Chowan I <
County Extension Home- I
makers Council. This Coun
cil met four times this
year. Activities included
flowers for Chowan Hospi
tal in July; two educational
booths at the county fair;
a state fair exhibit; and a
float in the annual Christ
mas parade.
Through club efforts they
conducted the Cancer Cru
sade in rural areas, solicit
ed memberships in Friends
of the Library, and con
tributed to other fund
drives.
A SIOO scholarship, fund
ed under the former Coun- I
cil of .Home Demonstration
Clubs, was awarded to a
senior at Chowan High
School and is being used at
the College of the Albe
marle in Elizabeth City.
Foods and Nutrition: I
Foods and nutrition was se
lected for emphasis for ,
1966 and 1967. In 1966, em- '
! phasis was placed on ac
quiring a greater knowl
edge of the foods needed 1
daily by the body. In car- 1
rying through this program,
a need was seen for en
couraging the consumption
of leafy greens, fresh
fruits, and vegetables. A
1967 goal to reach this
need was developed to
teach homemakers to use
these foods in salads. Sal
ads were served monthly
at Extension Homemaker
Club meetings and leaders
were trained in techniques
of preparing better salads.
A salad recipe booklet is
being compiled of salads
served. These books will
be distributed to Extension
Homemaker Club members
and other interested home
makers.
Because many clubs pre
pare home-baked products
for sale, a need was seen
to increase knowledge of
preparing standard pro- j
ducts for sale. Also, how
. to recognize causes of fail
ures in home-baked pro
ducts. A special interest
demonstration was con
ducted on this subject.
Many homemakers fail to
recognize the money to be
saved by preparing yeast
breeds rather than purchas-
I ing these products. Thir
