r Wilkinson Club Girls
! The exhibits of the Wil' inson Club
Girls work during the week w ere ex
amined by many interested visitors.
’ Many rows of canned and preserv
' fruits and vegetables showed the in
creasing knowledge and skill of the
girls in this most useful work. It is
still a reflection on Georgians that
we buy nearly everything of the sort
from outside the state. Slowly but
surely this home work is leading us
out of bondage.
And we took a long-range view of
the sewing exhibits and pretended to
understand all about it, but to tell the
truth we never saw a dress that look
ed pretty unless while a girl wore it.
Anyhow the girls are doing a fine
work with the able and inspiring help
of Mrs Julia Kitchens.
