way by builders is impeded by the
scarcity OF labor, and the high cost
and shortage OF materials.

work on its outstanding contracts, but
no new work OF any Importance is on
the company boards.
For alterations to be made on the
residence Of Ralph Derr, bids are being

Jean replied, "but I'd like to hear
one"
Dates, sweet and brown, were
eaten by little children thousands of
years ago, for the date palm is one OF
the Oldest plants cultivated by man.
Three thousand years ago the date
palm grew and bore fruit"
"Where?" Jamie wan4ed to know.

times grows in GASES on the desert.
You know what they are, don't you 2"
They are water holes in the
desert" answered Jamie, eagerly.
But I should think the hot air of
the desert would kill the trees!'
mo, the date palm must have hot,
dry air to thrive. with lots of water
at the roots. So you see an oasis is
just the kind Of place for it. OF
course, date palms are planted on
plantations, too. just as we plant apple
trees. They are set out in rows TWEEN
ty-five feet apart, and begin to bear
dates when they are about four years
old"
| DO the people in those Eastern
countries like dates?" Jean asked.
| Eyes, indeed! Dates form the great
est part Of their living. They eat
dates. either raw or dried. Sometimes
