In l9L5 an organization, sponsored by the State and National Home Economis Associations and the State and Federal Departments of Education was formed. Representatives met in regions to make plans for this organization. These repre- sentatives from all parts of America met in Chicago. They chose as the name, THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICAg the red rose as their flowerg and red and white for their colors. These colors express youth. Red has long been the sym- bol for courageg white, the symbol of purity. They adopted an emblem which is octagonal in shape. We have a constitution by which we abide and eight purposes or goals for which we strive to make home and communiu'1ife happier. F.H.A. was organized at Forman in 1950 under the direction of Mrs. Joan Som- mer. This year our sponsors have been Mrs. James Eckman and Mrs. Leonard Hewitt. Officers for this year were as follows: President, Virginia Carey, Vice Pres- ident, Loretta Warner, Secretary, Pauline Frederick, Treasurer, Arla Jean Fosteg Parliamentarian, Ann Heylg Historian, Carolyn Worner: Public Relations Chairman Eloise Wahlfeldg and Degrees Chairman, Janet Lempke. At our first meeting thi fall we elected Mrs. Elizabeth Foste as our Chapter Mother. She attends our meetings and helps us plan and carry out our activities. At Thanksgiving we gave a large basket of groceries to a needy family in this area. In November, we celebrated National F.H.A. Week. We had a project for every day of the week and on Sunday we attended the Manito Methodist Church. We sent two dozen red roses and presented rose corsa es to Mrs. Eckman and Mrs. Foste. In May we had a style show and formal installation of the new officers. WHITE IH LEMENT CO. Oliver Farm Equipment Massey Harris Phone Sh Sales 8 Service Forest City, Illinois-RFD f 1
