agent ilnce January 1, 1929,
has been transferred to the po
sition of acting nutrition spec

and will take up her new duties

During her 11', 4 years here

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.
