| dc.description.abstract | The Royal Corinne Homemakers’ Club in Stutsman County was first organized in 1923 in cooperation with the Extension Division of NDSU and the Department of Agriculture in making information about homemaking available to as many homes as possible in the community. One of the first projects the club initiated was the improvement of kitchens in the county. Improvements were made in nearly every kitchen in county. Crafts and needle work were important activities of the homemakers clubs. The clubs organized to give the homemaker a chance for a more social life, to introduce new work methods, and provide a wider range of cooking and housekeeping needs. The homemaker program helped to get educational information from the land grant colleges out to the public. These included nutrition, food preparation, and food preservation. During war years the clubs made garments and articles for the Red Cross. Members also set up educational booths at the county fair, conducted a craft day, quilt projects, and safety projects. | en_US |
