MAIN '"Your MAIL TRIBUNE Home Extension Report Makes Recommendations More interest in senior citizens, an expanded program to promote harmonious family living and more education in proper nutrition are among the recommendations of home extension unit members and workers for the coming year. These recommendations and suggestions are contained in the annual report of Jackson county extension services, the sec tion on home extension having been the work of Miss Mary Pat Lucy, agent for home economics. There are 24 home extension units already operating in the county, and more are in the process of being formed. Members of the family and community living committee recommended the program be adjusted to provide assistance in the family living problems which result from mothers working outside the home, and added that "there is a lack of parent education and assist ance should be offered in a discussion of family living." The problems of the aged were also discussed in this committee, the report states There are now 8,000 Jackson county residents past the age of 60. The committee recom mended that the extension service show more interest in these older people, become more "neighbor conscious1 and work towards solving some of their problems. Nutrition Discussed The group also discussed nutrition problems and noted that some individuals do not function well because they are poorly nourished, and that others suffer from obesity. It was therefore recommended that the program on educa tion in proper diet be further explained. Long-time objectives of the home extension service were listed as "to teach better nu trition practices; to help de velop more satisfying com munity activities; to teach the use of time and energy sav ing methods; to teach people how to be better clothed with no increase in the money spent; to promote better fami ly understanding and teach how to spend money to meet essential needs. Miss Lucy also reported on recommendation of the Jack son County Alumnae commit tee of the home extension units. This committee has turned its attention to the annual homemakers festival, and believe that it could be expanded in some fashion which would interest the families of members and edu cate the community in the purpose and program of the home extension service. Festival Planning The committee recomend ed that the festival be held one evening, with the theme to be "how far we have come in home extension. It was suggested that exhibits, skits, a dress revue and a food booth be included and that it be made a gala, family-event. A beginning on this type of festival event was made in 1957 with an open house the evening before the main festival. Miss Lucy reviewed demon strations and programs given for units the past year. These included material on how to have a well fed family, with lessons on seafoods, bread, 1 PRICE! FBll-TIME SAFETY DOOR. Stoos heat, motion and timer when oMned.

In the report Miss Lucy noted that Jackson county has a "very effective" county committee representative of the 661 members in the 24 units. In March of 1957 the committee divided the 24 units into seven districts, and each county committe member now represents a particular group. The committeeewomen visit these groups and offer advice from time to time and they assist the agent with program planning, officers' training, the homemaker's festival and other activities. The agent also reported on work with the Rogue Valley Handweavers' guild, on tele vision and radio shows given, on program planning sessions, officers' training, and the par ticipation of the extension service in the Great Decisions program, training of the Red Cross canteen corps, coopera tion with the Jackson County Public Health association, Girl Scouts and participation in the 4-H program.
