furniture,” notes Mrs. Betty Mor
gan, an Edgecombe County home

Mrs. Morgan bouglit an old
chest from a junk dealer for

moved all the dark paint, she
found the chest w:i.s .solid mahog

she paid for it.
The chest is now a ,-|izc(l pos

Claudia Tutlerow, a.ssistant

or cut up celery. I Just took it for
granted she kne\v.”

Also, Doris has shown a grad

57 in 1%9.
Over the five yeais she’s been
sewing, Doris made 148 garments
at a total cost of $453.64. She es
timates her total savings at
$910.21, Mrs. Mavis G. Johnson,

Let’s hope most young girls are
being taught basic cooking skills
at home instead of being taken
for granted, Lucille M. Carter, as
sociate home economics Exten
sion agent, says.
