JOLLY NEIGHBORS CLUB
The Jolly Neighbors Home
Demonstration Club is less than
two years old but its members
believe they have learned much
that will help them to be better
home - makers a n d community
members
In January 1956 several wo-
men living in the farm and ranch
community north end northwest
of Boise City met in the home of
Mrs Howard Little to discuss the
organization of a new home dem-
onstration club As several wo-
men were interested Mrs Albert
Kehler offered her home for the
first meeting which was held
February 13 1956
At this meeting the following
women joined the club: Mmes
'Arthur Behimer Buck James
Paul Kohler Albert Kohler Rob-
' ert Kohler Ewell Kohler Howard

dy and Virgil Trembly
Officers elected were: Mrs
Little president Mrs Ewell Koh-
ler vice-president Mrs Paul
Kohler secretary and treasurer
Mrs Tandy reporter and Mrs
James song leader At this
meeting the name Jolly Neighbors

At each monthly meeting a
lesson and demonstration is given
by a club member One of the
most interesting is the annual
arts and crafts lesson Last year
the Jolly Neighbors made colored
etched aluminum trays end coast-
ers This year each member
made a "glorified glass" picture
Other lessons that club mem-
bers found particularly useful
have been on rug-making frozen
foods time-saving meals legal
matters re-upholstery first aid
'Sewing lessons are also always
popular
Club members participate in
community county and state ac-
tivities of the home demonstration
clubs such as in district council
meetings and the Farm and Home
conference The club also has
shown clothing in the county-wide
dress revues the past two years
and had a booth at the Cimarron
county fair
The Jolly Neighbors held a
bake sale and rummage sale last
summer to raise funds for a community-wide
Four-II Club picnic

for each member to help some

CIRCLE E CMS
If your idea of what Home
Demonstration club wcmen do
when they meet each month is to
discuss our husbands and neigh-
bors and how to treat or get rid
of them you are very mistaken
First let me explain the purpose
of our clubs They are organized
for a three-fold purpose: to
study home-making methods In-
volved in successful homemaking
to offer farm women an oppor-
tunity for self-development to
advance community interest and
life
When the Circle E Club was
first organized Its name was chos-
en by charter members The "E"
stands for extension work and
the name has remained Circle E
throughout the years The club
was organized October 29 1936
with 25 charter members The
club was very active that year
and the members derived much
good from It
Some of the charter members
who still live in this area are:
Mrs If A Stephenson Mrs Carl
Gist Mrs Fred Folkers Mrs Ed
Ogston Mrs Lewis Alexander
Mrs Calvin Taggart Mrs W D
Sanders Mrs W H Jones Mrs
P L Ferguson Mrs Roy Bohn
Mrs F C Walton Mrs D M
Fellows
Due to the dust storms the
club discontinued until June 29
1939
Since Circle E Club was organ-
ized the community has had bet-
ter gardens more nutritious
meals comfortably arranged
homes attractive yards a n d
many women have learned the
art of sewing and remodeling
The club has always had a dc- p
Interest in the young people of
the community and has sponsored
many socials for them
In 1940 the club started the
project of a community club room
In the Union Grade No 2 school
Each year they worked and add-
ed many conveniences The win-
dows were treated to colored
chintz curtains rooms were given
new face-lifts with fresh paint
and the yard was cleaned and
leveled For over 10 years the
ladies met once each month for
their meetings and planned social
events for families In this com-
munity center Basket dinners
pie suppers ice cream get-togethers
and many such Saturday night
socials were enjoyed Many
times local talent provided plays
songs and pantomimes and on
several occasions talent from Boys
Ranch and various other places
provided entertaining programs
The club room was maintained
until 1954 when the building was
torn down and the material taken
to the Plainview school to be
used in building a teacherage
In 1951 for the year's project
all mall boxes in the community
were painted with the proper
names and addresses In 1932 the
club started as its annual project
a banquet for all Plainview Pour-
II members and their parents
To date six such banquets have
been given
Five of our members have had
the honor of being presidest of
the Cimarron County Council or-
ganization Ten members have attended
Farm and Home Week at Still-
water At the Cimarron County Fair
the club has had the following
