The purpose of the Extension Homemakers As sociation members are joining other Extension Homemakers throughout North Carolina and the nation in observing National Extension Homemakers Week, May 6-12. The purpose of the Extension Homemakers Association is to provide education through programs to encourage and assist members in promoting higher standards of family living, homemaking and citizenship responsibility. Mem bership is open to all homemakers. Extensioin Homemaker Clubs are educational organizations of the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service and provide a means for providing up-to-date research based information to people in the county. Topics of some of the current educational programs offered through the Warren County Ex tension Homemakers Association are "Food Safety," "Low Cost Decorating," "Stretching Food Dollars," "Selection and Use of Meats," "Picture Hanging," "Lighting," "Microwave Cooking" and "nothing Tips," just to mention a few. Extension Homemaker programs and participa tion are not all "cooking" and "sewing" as the organization is so often mislabeled. Homemaker groups provide a great opportunity for leadership development through serving as officers and program of work leaders on local, county, district, state and national levels. Extension Homemakers, too, are actively involv ed in communities throughout the country by seeking to identify the needs of families and en courage the use of available resources, and en courage family and community participation to achieve a richer quality of living. The eight Warren County Extension Homemaker Clubs have been very active during the past year in special activities through individual and club par ticipation. Twelve homemakers completed a course in CPE, leaders participated in craft classes and in teaching crafts and members went on education al tours. Other projects in which clubs were in volved were making cash contributions to rural fire departments, making and giving lap robes and other personal items to senior citizens in nursing homes and centers, one club had three volunteers who helped with Senior Citizens Olympics at one of the nursing homes, having fund raising projects to provide monies for club house repair and mainten ance and other community improvement projects. Several Extension Homemaker Club members serve as 4-H club leaders and Extension Homemak ers were very involved in serving as hostesses for District 4-H Activity Day last summer. As an international project five clubs sent hygiene kits to Kibuye Hospital in Giteza, Burundi, Africa. Last year clubs also collected 37,250 cancelled postage stamps for Stamp For Food project and sent them to the national collection center. In observance of National Extension Homemak ers Week, a committee put a window display in one of the local stores. The present Extension Homemaker Clubs in the county and their presidents are: Churchill, Mrs. G. C. Robinson; Inez, Mrs. Clarence Davis; Macon, Mrs. James H. Boyd; Mayflower, Mrs. Geanie Perry; Olive Grove, Mrs. Raymond Fitts; Ridgeway, Mrs. Eliza B. Yancey; Triangle, Mrs. Louise Fields; and Zion, Mrs. Eleanor Hayes. If you would like to join one of the existing clubs or organize a new club contact one of the club mem bers or Miss Emily Ballinger, home economics ex tension agent, or Miss Margaret Woods, Association home economics extension agent.
