Short courses and camps for girls have been held in several counties this past year. One girl in Bradley county helped to pay the mortgage on her father's place through her activities in the girls' club. Eleven homes in Montgomery county have installed water works under the direction of the county home demonstrator.

The hats cost fifteen to forty cents each and looked not cheap.
