REPORT ON . H O U S E H O L D ECONOMICS
Mrs. Maurice Gossip, Calgary, Convener.
D u r i n g the past year the Household Economics Committee has been,
endeavoring to interest members in the subject of Sanitation, that science
which teaches the mode of l i v i n g which promotes health and helps in securi
n g for the individual, family and community the greatest capacity for work
and play.
In reviewing the reports that have ' come to hand, I find the number falls
far below the number of active Institutes given in the Secretary- Treasurer's
report of last year. Nevertheless, much valuable work has been accomplished.
Papers bearing directly on the outline have been reported and copies of
some excellent ones forwarded to me. The subjects treated in these papers
were: General Sanitation, House Cleaning and Housekeeping, Home Management,
Treatment of Walls and Floors, M i l k and other Dairy Products,
C u r i n g of Meats and Meat Cuts, Vitamines.
The following is a list of demonstrations held: Dressmaking, Raffia,
Basketry, M a k i n g Over and R e p a i r i n g Clothing, Refooting bought Stockings,
Rug M a k i n g , House Decoration, W a t e r l e s s Cooking, A n g e l Cake, M e a l Service.
F r o m Stony P l a i n comes the report of the publication of a cook book—
" The Cook's Friend." A number of Institutes report successful undertakings
in school lunch work, also improvements in school and community h a l l.
A number of contests were noted, also suggestions for r a i s i n g funds, e. g.,
operating a booth on Sports Day, sale of canned fruit, serving refreshments
for special functions.
In c l o s i n g this report, I wish to thank those members who have carried on
so v a l i a n t l y during the year. I would urge all Institutes to spend part of the
time allotted to Household Economics in the discussion of some phases of the
outline provided.
O U T L I NE
Standing Committee on Household Economics, 1931- 32.
I am asking the Women's Institutes to continue the study of S a n i t a t i o n as
outlined for last year. In conjunction w i t h this would suggest that if possible
the Institutes subscribe for one of the Canadian Magazines for the Home. In
these w i l l be found articles on almost every phase of home m a k i n g w i t h sug-tions
for seasonal and holiday activities.
E x t r a c t s of articles of special interest might be given occasionally and
the magazine loaned to members for further reading.
