Oral history interview with Maude Middleton
-
Primarily documents Maude Middleton's education and service as an army dietitian from 1945 to 1947. Middleton discusses her years at Woman's College [now the University of North Carolina at Greensboro] including the faculty, social events, and home economic courses. She remembers the attack on Pearl Harbor and wartime rationing. " Middleton describes her reasons for becoming an army dietitian; the requirements for the job; and her mother's reaction to her enlistment. Of her basic training at Camp Rucker, Alabama, she discusses physical training, barracks, and meeting women from other parts of the country. Because the war ended while she was in basic, she talks about being assigned to the replacement pool. Discussion of her time at Camp Butner, North Carolina, and Moore General Hospital, focuses on her work in special diets as well as her social life and interactions with officers. " Conversation about Middleton's life after her service includes her decision to end her dietitian career; her work with the 4-H clubs of the Agricultural Extension Service; her work with the Extension Homemaker Clubs; and her political views.
