HOME BUREAU RECORD 

 Here's something of a record for 

 Home Bureau folks to try and better. 

 Mrs. Mary Kelly, Canton, has a record 

 of perfect attendance at Home Bureau 

 meetings for a period of 15 years in 

 Fulton county. 



Mrs. Kelly joined the Pleasant unit 

 of the Fulton County Home Bureau 

 as a charter member 20 years ago. 

 Since the death of her husband she 

 has had a full-time job with a Canton 

 clothing manufacturing company, and 

 unable to attend afternoon meetings, 

 has changed her membership to an 

 evening unit so that she can continue 

 to attend regularly. 



Out of 19 annual meetings of the 

 Home Bureau, Mrs. Kelly has at- 

 tended 18, her only absence in that 

 Eeriod being at the time of her hus- 

 and's death, according to Mrs. Edith 

 Huffman, Fulton county home adviser.

BAKING POWDER BISCUITS 



To glamourize baking powder biscuits, 



roll out biscuit dough V4 inch thick and 

 spread with orange marmalade. Roll jelly- 

 roll fashion and cut in 1-inch slices. Place 

 cut side down in greased muffin pans and 

 bake in moderately hot oven (450'F) 12 min- 

 utes. These sweet fruity biscuits require no 

 sugar and make excellent tea rolls or ac- 

 companiments for tossed vegetable salads.
