The president of FHA has expressed a desire to make this week "a showcase for what 600.000 teenagers are doing to find solutions to some of the problems confronting todays society in preparation for a better future." These young people have chosen .FHA Cares" as the theme for their national week of observance. FHAs record confirms that assertion. FHA is justly proud of the part its 12.054 local chapters have played in community tutoring programs for underprivileged children. especially children of migrant workers. nutrition education projects. consumer services. and in the general enhancement of homemaking education. A number of FHA members have written me letters recently urging me to support continued funding for the consumer and homemaking education sections of the vocational education amendments to Public Law 90576. The adequate funding of homemaking education is important to these young people. and. as one FHA member points out: In a time when the dollar buys less. it would seem that our decisionmakers would make every effort to educate our youth to the wise use of this commodity.
