And from her they heard the
reason why it is possible today
to run a home and still remain
youthful and alluring.
"Modern conveniences help
save time and work," says Mrs.
Strohmeler. "It's question of
doing things the easy way rather
than the bard way every time."
That means automatic clothes
washers and diss washers, for
example, which cut down the
number ef hours a - housewife
must spend in the kitchen and
enable ner to devote more time
to keeping herself well-groomed,
attractive, well-informed, and
interesting.
An eye for such kitchen helps
is why Mrs. Strohmeler can find
time to manage her house and
still have a career (she works as
model) and take part in other
activities too. She la also a good
eeok.
"Of course," she adds, "you
afill have to organize your house
work ae that you can get the
most done in the least time."
Mrs. Strohmeler speaks from
experience because like many
another young couple, she and
her husband are affected by
the housing shortage and live
doubled up with in-laws, and
Jhe women of the house share
the household chores.
Laundry, ene ef the tasks that
club work:
Consult parents of members and
persuade them to form a partner
ship to give the boys and girls a
start; To entertain them with so
cial affairs during the year; To
form a county-wide unit of neigh
borhood leaders to have a Father
Son - Mother-Daughter banquet
each year; To assist In preparing
for such events as d 1st rice federa
tions, calf shows, ffwcvt potato
shows, picnics, Church Sundays and
Achievement day activities; To as
sist 4-H'ers In keeping record
books; To make suggestions as to
the best methods of producing more
and better products.
Meetings of this nature will ooon
be held in other communities ac
cording to Negro Farm A.;ent R.
E. Wllkins.

Aids, Says Mrs. America
took most of the homemaker's
time and energy in the past,
holds no terrors for the lovely
"Mra. America."
Her Automaglc machine that
converts from clothes washer to
dishwasher with a quick change
of tubs, has taken most of the
drudgery out of Mrs. Stroh
meier's washday. But this smart
young housewife has eliminated
many other steps that still make
washday the longest day in the
week.
"When sorting clothes, for ex
ample," she says, "many women
throw the clothes in piles on the
floor. This makes for the extra
and tiring work of bending and
kneeling. And it also gets the
clothes even dirtier than they
were."
Mrs. Strohmeler sorts her
clothes on a work table for con
venience. She stresses using the proper
amounts of soap. Too little soap
will not get clothes clean. "Mrs.
America explains, and too much
soap is wasteful, may cause an
overflow ef suds, and makes
rinsing more difficult
In a clothes tub taking a load
oi eight or nine pounds of
clothes, one to one-and-a-half
eupa ef granulated aoap usu
ally Is sufficient for good suds.
"I believe in taking as much
work as possible out of house
work," is "Mrs. America's" creed.
