So says shy, winsome Betty Sue Parker, 14, of Atlanta, in New York to accept an award as Young Home- maker of the Year from the Girls Clubs of America. She explains: “I’m always asking Mom to give me breakfast in bed. But she says anybody too lazy to get up for their breakfast doesn’t de- + serve to eat.” Betty thinks Mom has a point. But it would be fun if it were dif- ferent, she says. All good things happen to good girls, they say, so Betty who is met especially outstanding in anything won the homemaker award from the Girls Clubs be- cause “she does the best with what she has.” Betty, a freshman in high school, lives in a neighborhood where there are not too many ad- vantages for young people, But her girl's club membership gives her the opportunity to do things. She loves to sing and dance and studies both at the club, She is Betty Sue Parker of Atlanta, Ga. active in its Junior American Cit- izen Club and is a Junior leader, aiding the young children. Like most Southern girls Betty has lots of boy-appeal. She has “quite a few boyfriends” although she says she is “too young to date.” Southern girls, she says, count as boyfriends the boys they know. But they “get married young, sometimes at 13 ” says Betty who bas decided to wait ’ oe ela BPW Party; Mrs. W. Holly and Christmas stockings at 319 Duval Street for the annual in unanimously.

Even the kin. dergarten set will have more fun if they can help with the prepara- tions. While Mom and Pop are busy with holiday shopping, little John- ny and Mary can have a wonder- ful time making toys for their friends out of such utilitarian ob- jects as sardine cans. The bright shiny tins in which domestic sardines are packed make the basis for any number of simple toys, easy for the youngest children to make. It’s up to Mom to scrub out the empty tins after the tops are removed, and to be sure the tins are from domestic Maine pack sardines, since these have no jagged edges, and all printing is on the top, which comes off smoothly when the tin is open- ed with a wheel type opener. Any little girl would love a tiny doll bassinet made from a sardine can. First remove the top. and throw it away. Then carefully wash ‘the tin:and attach a half circle of twisted picture wire to each side of the can with cellophane tape. | Next cut two circles of cardboard for the wheels and attach them to the sides, also with tape. Now make a gathered flounce of a scrap of pink or blue fabric and tie it firmly around the edges of the can with a piece of ribbon, Make the Page 3 Club Calendar Publicity chairmen for organizations listed in the Club Calendar are requested to notify the society editor if there has been any change in the REGULAR date, time or place of meetings so that the calendar will be correct at all times.
