ome- rout Trainees Cirls in the home economics field have certainly gone modern. They are now aiding the war effort by helping at the day nurseries at nearby schools. Food and material shortages are also problems which they are learning to overcome. ln foods classes this year the girls were taught to make meals requiring few points but possessing sufficient vitamins. They also learned how to market, how to get the best for their dollars. From new or used material girls proved that they were really handy with a needle and thread. According to records, they are speeding up production, making twice as many articles as before. lnteresting subjects studied by the personal regimen class were personal grooming, boy- girl relations, and getting the most for the money.
