During., the sessions, valuable at­ tendance and other prizes will be awarded to somg of the lucky home­ makers who attend. . The Forum, which is arousing keen interest among local homemakers, is being sponsored in co-operation with well-known local business houses, in­ cluding: Stainton’s Hardware; Peter­ son’s Electric and Plumbing Store; A. J. Walker, Furniture; Donald Rae & Son's Hardware Store; MachUn Bros.’ Plumbing, etc.; Hydro Shop. The demonstrations and ' lectures will cover such practical subjects as marketing, menu planning, health diets, table arrangement and guest en­ tertaining, At the same time, Miss Hargan will discuss the ingredients used in the various recipes and will show how (to prepare and cook each dish. At each session, many new and scientifically-tested recipes will be given out to the homemakers present. “Women everywhere,” stated Miss Hargan in an interview this week, “are realizing that itheir kitchen is their workshop and that electrical applianc­ es? are the tools that they can use to free themselves from household' drudgery. Toasters, mixers, grills, coffee-makers, electric ranges and re-, frigerators and other equipment save ■thousands of "woman-hours” a year in almost every conceivable way. In '■oth­ er words; continued the widely-k'nown economist, “women find that prepar­ ing meals in electrically-equipped kit­ chens is no longer the grim, hurried task it once was, but a pleasant satis­ fying occupation,’.’ Commenting upon The Homemak­ ers’ Forum which is to be held here, Miss Hargan pointed out that all wo­ men who attend and enroll as mem- ber.% of the Hydro Homemakers* Club will receive a monthly Bulletin giving up-to-the-minute news concerning the club’s activities and a fqw practical recipes and answers to questions from “The Question Box.” The club, ah© explained, had recently been inaugur­ ated as a service to ithe women of On­ tario, and its aims were to assist- in solving problems arising in the mod­ ern household. Miss Hargan expressed the opinion that local homemakers would find the coming Forum educational, helpful and enjoyable, and urged as many as possible to take advantage of the op­ portunity to attend.
