MEDFORD MATT; TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY. JUNE 25. 1940. PAGE FIVE MABEL MACK TO LEAVE JULY 1ST FOR NEW DUTIES Home Demonstration Agent Here Since 1929 to Be Acting Nutrition Specialist Mabel C. Mack, Jackson county home demonstration agent ilnce January 1, 1929, has been transferred to the po sition of acting nutrition spec ialist at Oregon State college and will take up her new duties July 1, it was announced today. During her 11', 4 years here Mrs. Mack has made numerous friends and established a repu tation as a courteous, sympa- 1 . . T7- r- 4'' Mui C. Mack thetie and efficient home dem onstration agent. She expressed regret today at leaving Med ford and voiced gratitude for the helpful cooperation she has received in her work. Successor Due In August Mrs. Mack's successor here Is to be appointed by the state board of higher education In July and Is to assume her duties August 1. During her tenure here, Mrs. Mack has taken two leaves of absence. A leave of five months was granted in 1934 during which she served as acting state home demonstration agent. In 1938 a leave of five months was devoted to graduate study at Cornell university and Oregon State college. She completed re quirements for the master of science degree last August and received the degree at Oregon State college this month. Her thesis. "A Study of the Kitchen Sink Center in Relation To Home Management." was based on a study of ISO Jackson coun ty kitchens. As a result of these home visits, 110 homemakers have major or minor Improve ments in their kitchens, rang, irg from re-arrangement of storage and management feat ures to the Installation of water srrtems and complete rebuilJ- !ine of the k'trhens. Work Recognised During the years that Mrs. Mack has directed the home economics extension program here, state-wide recognition has been won for Jackson county. It has been considered one of the state's outstanding programs in home economics extension work. In 1929 Mrs. Mack began or ganization of community groups into horn - extension units for the purpose of cooperating in the extension program. Today there are 21 extension units serving all sections of the county. Attendance averages 430 a month. The Jackscn county extension committee composed of seven home-makers who serve in an advisory capacity to the home demonstration agent, was re organized in 1932 and placed on a term basis. An alumni group was formed for retired committee members. Aid Appreciated "Much of the success of the program may be attributed to the fine work of these women, many of whom have served con tinuously for many years," Mrs. Mack said. "Miss Alice Hanley of Jacksonville has served con tinuously since 1917 and was committee chairman for 17 years. Mrs. J. R. McCracken of Valleyview served for 16 years and has been active in the alumni group for six years. Mrs. A. T. Lathrop of Central Point served 15 years and six with the alumni group. Mrs. Bertha Glasgow of Valleyview and Mrs. Maude Port of Apple gate served ten and seven years respectively. These women and the committee members who have succeeded them have ren dered invaluable assistance in building the fine program in Jackson county." An outstanding achievement of the county extension and alumni committee was the spon soring of a Jackson county dele gate to the Associated Country Women of the World triennial conference in London last year. Mrs. A. T. Lathrop, the dele gate, was the only Oregon dele gate and the only extension group delegate from the Pacific northwest. This accomplishment brought much attention to south ern Oregon. Project Leaders Trained Another recognized accomp lishment of the county program during Mrs. Mack'i administra tion hat been the training and use of project leaders in teach ing home practices. In 1929 the extension teach ing was done entirely by the home demonstration agent, with the assistance of county leaders in enrolling women in the pro jects and other reorganization work. In 1930 the emphasis was placed on the development of leadership in the individual through active participation at all meetings and through the use of project leaders for teach ing. The first leader training work was given in 1930 on rec reation and dramatics for 65 community leaders. Last year 322 voluntary project leaders assisted the agent with projects in food, clothing, house furnish ing, parent education, recreation and dramatics. Use of trained project leaders has become in creasingly successful, Mrs. Mack said. Outstanding achievements of the recreation program have been the development of the "homemakers vacation camps" and the county-wide dramatics program. An annual county dramatics festival is held in Medford and Jackson county dramatics groups have won a number of first awards at Ore gon State college. Mrs. Mack's general policy has been to plan the home dem onstration program cooperative ly with the homemakers and to develop the program for the improvement of family life through serving the needs of the family as a unit. t m ELECTRIC COLD FOR GIVES Y00 I M.US POWER TO Km FOOD SAN EVEN I DURING SEVER!
