| Summary: | millings . . . in the early days of the settlement cooperative work was carried on, but always in the context of social activities. For example, wool cloth "millings"--work sessions where new wool was "worked" and made soft by a group of people seated around the table pounding the cloth in time to a song directed by a leader-- were open to all who wished to come. Volunteer labor for these affairs was encouraged, first, by the social nature of the gathering, and second, by the food and drink supplied by the host family. See cited quotation.
