Adelia Ewer Pattee
(Mrs. Julius E. Pattee)

The following unidentified newspaper article was found in a scrapbook owned by Town Historian Richard Schmal:

    MRS. JULIUS PATTEE, 4-H LEADER, FETED

    Three Lake County leaders, Miss Lucille Smith Home Demonstration Agent; Mrs. Albert Couture of Hobart, and Mrs. Julius Pattee of Lowell, were feted in the craft program at the National 4-H club congress in Chicago's Conrad Hilton Hotel. These leaders are hostess instructors for the United States Rubber Company's sponsored program of recreation and rural arts.

    The glass etching project for this affair was developed to include ideas for the amateur, as well as to give suggestion to creative talent whether conventional or modern.

    Over 3,000 4-H club delegates will be etching small dessert plates under the direction of the Lake County leaders. 4-H club congress '54 was developed by Miss Lucille Smith, Home Demonstration Agent of Lake county. Special directions will be found in the sixth and seventh pages of the instruction book "Glass Etching," written by Mrs. Armas Iso-Lampi, a Liberty Park 4-H club leader, and the home demonstration agent.

    Conventional and modern adaptation of good designing for glass etchings were developed by Mrs. Albert Couture of Hobart, and a member of the Hobart Home Demonstration club. She is now a student of design and ceramic work at the Chicago Art Institute.

    Mrs. Julius Pattee, a commercial artist in her own right, is a 4-H club leader, mother of two daughters, and a homemaker.
