One group said that being a club member was often the result of parental influenceâ€"many of their mothers had been club members and wanted their daughters to have this experience. Has club work made a difference in the way of doing things in their homes? The girls re- ported that mothers sometimes adopted methods the girls learned in their clubs such as different ways of cooking meat, pressing woollens, putting in a zipper. cooking various foods to save food value, different ways of tablesetting and flowar arrangements. Some foods not used in quantity previously, such as milk. vegetables and cereals are now popular with the family. Some of the reasons the girls gave for conâ€" tinuing in club work were that the work is in- teresting. that it gets easier with experience. that they are working toward a goal such as provin- cial honours. They felt that some of the future benefits of club experience would be helping them to “run their homes,“ to get along with people, to express their opinions in public, to keep a safe home. to be a good hostess. to prac- tiCe good dressing and good grooming. Club work, they said, taught them to face and solve prob- lems and to stick to a job until it is completed because club projects have to be finished by a certain date.

The club training in conducting meetings and in parliamentary proce- dure helps a girl to take part in community orâ€" ganizations. Where home surroundings are im- proved by girls‘ garden clubs the community takes on a better appearance. It was also sugâ€" gested that as a result of homemaking clubs “3. community might have better mannered teen- agers." Some suggestions for getting other girls in- terested in club work Were: to invite girls and their mothers to club meetings and Achievement Days so they would know what is done in a club, to talk about club work to school friends, to “use the direct method campaign. talc lll‘; girl to a meeting. tell her what you have learned Exhibits and Demonstrations Club exhibits and demonstrations by thc PM ‘ \vcre of a high order.
