PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS * mm W9*. ANNUAL MEETING OP McHENRY COUNTY HOME BUItEAU HELD JULY Hi The annual meeting of the McHenry County Home Bureau was held at the community high school at Woodstock on Thursday, July 10, and was attended by about 125 members. The forenoon session was given over to the business meeting, which was called to order by the president, Mrs. Fred Baterr of Dorr township. The minutes of the meetings held thru the year by the board were read by Mrs. Stewart, the secretary, and were followed by the annual financial report by Mrs. Burger, the treasurer. The report showed the county Home Bureau to be on a firm financial foundation. The reports of the various units were heard and showed that the women are taking more and more interest i^. Home Bureau and are realizing that the more time and thought they put into it the more benefit it is to them. All of the reports closed with words of regret because of the resignation of the advisor, Miss McColloch, but all wished her much joy and happiness in the home of her own, where she will go and practice what she has been preaching to McHenry county women for the past two years. After the reports of the units Mrs. Henry Echternach read the report of the nominating committee and as there were no nominations from the floor the officers as chosen by the nominating committee were unanimously elected. Officers elected were as follows: President, Mrs. Fred Baier of Dorr, re-elected; Mrs. John Walkup of Crystal Lake, who succeeds Mrs. Ralph Walkup of Ridgefield, as vice president; Mrs. R. W. Stewart, Hebron, re-elected secretary; Mrs. Irwin Burger, Dorr, re-elected treasurer; Miss Grace Stevens, Coral, re-elected county food chairman; Mrs. Ralph Walkup, Ridgefield, succeeds Mrs. J. R. Wells, Dunham, as county health chairman; Mrs. Fred Eppel, McHenry, re-elected county clothing chairman; Mrs. Pearl Brown, Chemung, succeeds Mrs. Grant Anthony as county home management chairman; Mrs. Karl Gast, Coral, succeeds Mrs. L. F. Hollenbeck, Hebron, as county community interest chairman. Miss McCulloch's report was then heard and showed that she had put much time and effort into the work to make the Home Bureau worth while, but said that she looked back over the two years she has been here with pleasure and wished the Home Bureau much success in the future. Miss Lucille Allen, assistant state leader, of the department of home economics extension of the University of Illinois, spoke a few words on the importance of the county fair and urged the members to do all in theii* power to make the fair a success, as the county fair is really the show case of the county and it is up to the people in the county to make the show case more than just a few vaudeville stunts and horse races. She talked of the importance of unit exchange and said that in one sense the most important work of the Home Bureau was to make the consumer's dollar go farthest. She also urged the units to carry more funds in their unit treasuries and send delegates to more state and large meetings and thereby profit more by so doing. She also said that the units must have more members and predicted that McHenry County Home Bureau would doable its membership the next year. Let us all get back of this prediction and let every member get a member be our motto for the next year. Miss M. Fusch of the Dennison Manufacturing company was present and intended to give a demonstration on crepe paper weaving, but on account of her trunk being miscarried In transit this demonstration could not be given. There was, however, quite a display of crepe paper articles made by the Home Bureau members during the year. Among them were floor and table lamps, fruit baskets and bowls, vases, lamps shades and various other things which women can make in their spare time at small expense which will add greatly to 'the appearance of their homes. A picnic dinner was then served under the supervision of Miss Grace Stevens, county food chairman. As usual, at Home Bureau picnics, there was more than euough, so the remaining food was sent to the orphans' home. The afternoon session was called to order by the president and she introduced Mr. Charles Kennedy of the McHenry County Fair association. He spoke on the disappointments and financial set backs the fair has had to contend with in the last few years, but said the fair would be held again this year, and urged the Home Bureau to put forth even greater efforts than last year in putting on exhibits, also the individual members should bring of their products of the farm and home. As has been said before, the fair is the show case of the county and if that show case is not filled with products brought in by McHenry county people, it will leave the impression that McHenry county has nothing that is worth showing. Let each community interest chairman make that one of her jobs this year to get at least one exhibit from your unit and if possible from each individual in that unit. Miss Allen again spoke and chose as her subject "The Measuring Sticks of the Homemaker of Today" Some I the ways Miss Allen suggested thatj »" s. :aiajt jqasjaq untnm ppioqs touioa-* First, is she securing the co-operation of the entire family? Family cooperation is the greatest and cheapest labor saving device a woman can have. To be able to get co-operation one must get the other fellow's view point, the aim of living must be kept large enough for the entire family and the mother most keep up with the family, living with the family rather than for the family. The second measuring stick is family health. A home-maker can measure her success by the health of her family. The third measuring stick is housekeeping, which Miss Allen says is often the only measuring stick used by the housewife. She stressed Home Bureau as the only organization that dedicated itself wholely to the betterment of home-making. This was followed by a play entitled "Dollars and Sense" by Home Bureau members and pointed out especially how common sense can make the dollar go farthest and by taking up home accounts to discover the leaks in the daily expenditures of a household. The cast was as follows: "Jim Turner, Mrs. R. W. Stewart; Ellen Turner, Mrs. Thos. Leonard; Tubby, Jerome Baier; Josephine, Edith Heider; Henry Allen, Mrs. Yessler; Alice Allen, Mrs. Desmond; Elizabeth Morse, Mrs. Hawley. M iss May Fellows of Lyons, Wis., gave several whistling solos, little Miss Mary Elizabth Baier gave several readings and little Miss Rosemary Desmond gave a piano solo and responded to encore by playing a duet in company with her mother. At the close of the program Mrs. Baier, with a few well chosen words, presented Miss McCulloch with a half dozen salad forks and a half dozen butter spreaders as a remembrance from the county, with the exception of Coral unit, which had already given her a silver tea service, and Greenwood unit, which had given her a lovely boinl. After this the meeting adjourned and all departed to their various homes filled with new inspirations and resolving that they will put more and more effort into Home Bureau and in that way derive even greater benefits for their units than they have in the past.
