NEAL GIRT of Rainier is research chairman of the coun ty home extension committee. She is shown above in her kitchen making bread for her family. Mrs. Neal Girt was el cted to the county home extension com mittee at officers training day on September 9, 1952. according to Frances L. Gallatin, home agent As one of the s ven members of th? Columbia county committee, Mrs. Girt acts in an advisory ca pacity to the home agent. A native of Oregon. Mrs. Girt was born at Coos Bay and at tended Rainier grade and high I schools. Since her marriage, h r primary interest has been in her home and family, including two children, Robert, a senior in high school and Marilyn who is in kindergarten. . Three years ago, Mrs. Girt be came a member of th? Lindberg home extension unit. In addi tion to accepting the responsibili ties of unit secretary-tr usurer, she has held several committee chairmanships and has been a project leader. "Unit officers and project lead rs carry much of the res ponsibility of the home extension program in Columbia county, as such a broad program is possible only through the willing help and cooperation of many local Laders, all of whom serve without com pensation,” Miss Gallatin ex plains. Project leaders are trained by the home agent and specialists from Oregon state college; aft.r which they teach the project to their unit members. Mrs. Girt received such train ing and taught four different projects to h r unit members, in cluding yeast breads and rolls. In the picture above, she is shown making bread for her family, which she thoroughly enjoys, es pecially after the project train ing. This spring, she will also b? a leader for the oven meals pro ject. "I have enjoyed home exten sion work because it deals with one’s home and family, which to me, is the most important phase of my life,” stated Mrs. Girt. "Then too, not belonging to a lot of other organizations. I enjoy the social part of meeting with my friends and neighbors. I have especially enjoyed those projects dealing with making my home more attractive to my family.” This is evident in her newly decorated living and dining rooms, slipcovers made for her furniture and draperies made and hung to make old fashioned win dows more attractive, all result ing from last year’s series of home furnishings projects. She has also made foot stools and lampshades, skills Darned from previous projects. Careful choice of colors and fabrics has resulted in an artistically fur nished and decorated home. The members of the Girt family are proud of the outdoor fireplace which they built after receiving extension training in building a native stone outdoor fireplace. “In fact," Mrs. Girt continued. "just about every thing we have done to improve our home has resulted from my training in ex tension work Mrs. Girt is a past Worthy Matron of Eastern Star.

"Old methods just don’t work with new machines,” says Miss Frances L. Gallatin, home exten sion agent. Old habits are usu ally strong, and homemakers fre quently don’t realize that they must change their ways to suit new appliances. Failure to change habits may cause extra time and effort, poor results, and even un necessary repairs. Dealers give demonstrations of the use of new appliances and instruction booklets to go with them. Unfortunately, they can’t hand out a set of new habits to each purchaser. Then, too, some purchasers don't bother to study the booklets or even keep them for reference. Laundering is an example. Many homemakers don’t realize how precision pays in using a washer and they may overload it, use the wrong deterg.nt or no* measure the detergent care fully. This can mean a poor washing job and also a strain on the machine. Surveys show that many women still use bl aches regularly, even though these are hard on fabrics and unnecessary if washers are us ;d correctly. One old tradition worth banish ing when a new washer comes into the house is the weekly washday. It’s usually more ef ficient and economical to spread the washing through the week, doing a load a day instead of four or five once a week. This is less of a tax on the hot water supply. Also, many mothers find that by washing oftener, their growing children need fewer clothes. It stretches the budget and also saves closet space. There is available at your coun ty extension office the following bulletins: HE 5-703 “Selecting An Electric Washing Machine," HE 5-704 "Selecting An Electric Ironer," HE 5-707 "Use And Care Of Your Electric Range," and HE 5-602 "Buying And Using Synthetic Detergents.” You may write for these or come to the extension office in the courthouse at St. Helens.
