Fifty Years
By Sandra Bove
The Malverne Chapter of the
Nassau County Extension Serv-ice,
Hbmemakers Council, one of
the oldest chapters in Nassau
County, marked its fiftieth An-niversary
with a luncheon for
members at the Coral House
Restaurant in Baldwin. Special
Guests included, Mrs. A.R.
Workman and Mrs. Carl Ras-weiler,
both of the Nassau County
Home Bureau Executive Com-mittee;
and Mrs. George Doug-l
a s , an active member since
1936.
Mrs. Richard D. Miller,
Chairman of the the Malverne
Chapter, addressed the ladles,
saying, "I consider it an honor
to participate in the acknowledge-ment
of the fifty years of ex-istence
of a service which has
meant much, not only to our
community, but to all former
and present members,
"The purpose of the Malverne
Chapter of the Home Extension
Service has been to adapt itself
to the needs of the community,
and for fifty years has suc-ceeded
in that purpose.
<'In 1918, fifty years ago,
barely one year after its origi-nal
inception in Nassau County^
Malverne joined the Nassau
County Extension Program as an
organized community group, sup-ervised
through the county of-fice,
by Cornell University. The
prevailing interest of the groups
in 1918 was the conservation of
food.
'Vegetables were grown and
canned. A truck located at a
Railroad siding in Malverne
was used as a classroom where
demonstrations and instructions
were given on the canning of
food. The truck would then move
on to other communities in the
county to continue demon-strations.
It is a matter of
record that each member of the
Malverne group canned between
100 and 500 quarts of vegetables.
"The growth of the program
was fully evidenced in 1925 when
the Parent-Teachers Association
joined the home bureau of Mal-verne
as a unit, elected a local
leader for the nutrition project
and swelled the membership of
Nassau County Extension Serv-ice
to 1109 within ten clubs.
"As the needs of time changed
f r om necessity and war to grad-ual
prosperity, the Extension
Units turned their attention to
the more leisurely endeavors
of home artistry.
"Malverne was well rep-resented
at the Mineola Fairs in
such diversified a r t s as sewing,
ceramics, upholstering, cooking
and gardening. Through the ef-f
o r t s of participating members,
many awards were returned to
Malverne.

of Home Exten'sion work,

The beautiful, charming and
lucky Kathleen Milback of Cen-terport
is the new 1968 Miss
Long Island Water Conference.
The new queen was chosen over
11 other Long Island beauties
in a spirited contest last night
(March 25) that took the panel
of five judges quite some time to
name the three finalists.
The beauty contest was the
highlight of the Annual Water
Fiesta of the Long Island Water
Conference which was held at
Holiday Manor, Bethpage. Mas-t
e r of ceremonies was Ray
Heatherton, well known radio and
television personality.
The other two finalists, in
addition to Kathleen Milback,
were Pamela Palmer of Valley
Stream who was voted second
runner-up and Marguerite T.
Donahoe of Bethpage, first
runner-up. The winner was se-lected
by secret vote of the
Water Conference members at-tending
the Water Fiesta.
The 12 beauty contestants, rep-resenting
conference members
throughout Nassau and Suffolk,
were Diane Yastrzemski of Water
Mill, Patricia AUes, Bohemia;
Pamela Palmer, Valley Stream;
