Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 28, 1930, p. 1. NOTE: This group, renamed Extension Homemakers, still exists in Monroe County today with a large number of clubs. HOME ECONOMICS CLUBS START WORK Meta Martin, Purdue Expert, to Attend Meet Today Monroe County Home Economics clubs will meet today in the city library to organize their work for the coming year. Miss Meta Martin of Purdue, associate state home economics leader, and Mrs. Harry Stevenson of Bloomington, county leader, will be in charge. The first year of the work in this vicinity was concluded with a successful, all-day exhibit of last fall articles made by members. Several new groups have been organized during the winter and will be officially recognized and started in the works today. Officials of the movement announced that any group of women interested in home economics work and wishing to get the benefit of being within the organization, are welcome to make an application. The state staff of highly trained women will bring the latest findings from research and laboratory to local clubs. The individual groups are knit together into a state project that is becoming stronger each year, officials declared. As a result of today's meeting, work will be started immediately on the year's projects. The annual exhibit, which last fall contained several hundred displays, is expected to be immensely enlarged this year.
