with devotion by Miss Betty

son County. Church and
Community -Center. Using a
reading from John 8-4-7, Miss

tant it is that we help people
rather than hurt. She used the
theme from a billboard, "Don

your hand," to illustrate the
role that the homemaker could
exemplify as they seek to help
others through the Volunteer

services that they could render
at the center. Miss Purkey told
the group they could collect
commercially canned food, us

large size dresses, shirts, and
pants), kitchen utensils, dish
es, used furniture, and bed
linen. Homemakers from the

report from the treasurer,
Mrs. Lonnie Lowry of the
Cherokee Club. Mrs. L.M.

council meeting was given by

economics Extension agent.

"Homemakers, the spice of
life." Miss Dial explained the
nine banners that were on
