ture in carrying on its program of 4h homemaking club work it is gratifying to county home economists and local lead ers that a growing number of newcomers to canada are join ing the homemaking clubs the experience should be helpful to these girls not only because it gives them a chance to learn canadian ways of keeping house but because a 4h homemaking club is a social as well as a learning group when the mem bers meet in each others homes or in that of their leader they not only have a lesson in some phase of homemaking and a business session where they learn something about how to conduct a meeting they also feel that they are having some thing akin to a party it is a fine means of making a girl from another country feel at home among her new neighbors homemaking club work can do a lot to help other girls with problems of their own for example the girl who has lost her mother and who is trying to keep house for the family club leaders seem particularly proud of the way these girls put into practice what they learn in their clubs and especially heartwarming is the story of audrey william son of stormont county aud- drey whose problem is that she has almost entirely lost her sight is fourteen and in grade 7 at the school for the blind at brantford while she is at home in the summer months she takes part in the farrans point 4h homemaking club and last year she completed the project working with wool making herself a wool jumper and a blouse to wear with it she does her record book in braille and her older sister tran slates her notes word for word on the opposite page she her self collects and mounts illus trative material in her book through working and playing with other girls audrey soon overcame her shyness with strangers and is also gaining confidence through speaking in public at the achievement days she now takes a full part in the program and also finds her club experience of great help in the course in home economics she is taking at school she has a real love of music and plays both the piano and violin another evidence of the inter est 4h homemaking clubs have for girls is the way senior girls continue in the work even girls in teachers college are often found in vacation time or on weekends at home taking part in a club or acting as leader a few continue in the work after they are married so long as they are within the age limit of
