METRIC IN EVERYDAY USE During January Extension Homemakers will become familiar with a system of measurements new to many Americans. Educational pro grams and materials have been used in the metric system, and to help them think of the application of metric terminology in their daily lives. AFFECTS HOMEMAKERS Homemakers will be af fected in many ways-it may take: 60 liters of gas instead of 16 galkAs to fill your car, a 2 kilogram roast instead of a 4‘/j pound one for your family, and an ideal figure will be one that measures 90-60-90; centimeters, that is, not inches. The United States is orie of the few countries in the world that is not committed to the metric system. Congress is considering legislation which will establish the metric system in the United States and set a time table for conversion to the new system. The more we learn about this system in advance the easier the changeover will be. The terms you learn today will be ready. .the metric system is expected to make calculations much simpler and easier to understand in the future when it totally eliminates the standard measurements now in use in the U.S. The system we currently use has develop ed by custom, and though it is standardized and regulated by the U.S. Dept, of Comerce, the common terms we use have little relationship to each other. Remember how you had to memorize the number of ounces in a quart, rods in a mile, pecks in a bushel? The metric system uses some basic words upon which all the other terms are built. These are the “meter” for length, "liter” for volume, “gram” for weight, and "celsius” degrees for tem perature. All other units are made from these terms-with a prefix to specify the exact unit of measure. The metric system is based upon multi ples of ten just as our money system is. When water freezes at 0 degrees and water boils at 100 degrees, won’t it be easy to remember? CHANGE TAKES TIME You will not have to learn all the terms at once.

The National Education Association is already re questing that young children be taught the metric system as their primary language of measurement. The most important sug gestion now is that you learn to know the most common equivalents: a liter is just a little larger than a quart, and a meter is three inches longer than a yard. As you see the terms that refer to the metric system, begin to “Think Metric”. Look for terms when you are shopping and it will help you to be ready when we have, a "Metric America”.
