Many woman wakes up some day
TO ind herself grown-up and married
and then suddenly decides that she
needs to know how to cook a good
meal and cut out dress and battle a
baby. The Fess Home Economics
Amendment provides for an appro-
priation of Federal funds to teach
these women just the things they need
to know. This bill, now under con-
sideration by the House Committee
on Education, was introduced in the
last Congress and reintroduced in the

Simeon D. Tess of Ohio.
The bill expressly stipulates that at
least one-third of the amount of
Federal funds allotted to any state
shall go to part-time or evening
classes for workers over fourteen
years of age who have entered upon
employment. The remainder of the
funds will go to all-day schools.
There are already many successful
public evening home economics

Nebraska, the Bemis Bag Company

Some cities have special classes for
foreign born women where they may
learn buying, housekeeping, feeding
and care of children, home nursing,
practical cookery, and incidentally
the English language.

M SPITE Of all the advertising and pub

~@- double in it's various conventional uses
there are may players who constantly
overlook opportunities to take advantage OF
It as means of getting information
The whole theory Of the double as now CON-
monty Used Is to get line on the partners
hand instead of guessing at the best bid In
ones own hand. This is the keynote Of tbs
no-trump double. 1t asks the partner whas
he is long in, as combined length is what is
wanted in trump that Is TO fight against
no-trump hand.
It Is also the basis Of the suit double II
avoids guessing among three suits, all better

what he has most Of, promising to support IL
One use Of the double is apparently we'll known

would the partner suggest?
1t seems strange that players who use this
double of suit that overcalls their no-trumper
are not equally quick to see the advantage Of
doubling suit that overcalIs their suit bid.
There are many situations in which this is the

THE CHURCH SERVING YOU

Have you ever considered what
part the Church has played in your
life? The Church began her work for
you before you were born. When love
had sealed her claim upon your par
ents, and the time came when two lives
were to be made one,-then the Church
through the marriage service rendered
the first definite service to you. Then
after while, your Mother with trem-
bling heart received gift from God,
and you were born. Then the time
came for you to be presented to God in
baptism, and the Church served you
again. And as your trembling feet
were making their first steps in this
way of life, the Church was helping all
the while by righteous precept, loving
admonition and the story of The Christ
to keep your footsteps steady and true.
And in those formative years of your
life, when your character and life was
being shaped and nodded, the Church
still served you by presenting to you
the higher and better things of life.
And one day served you as she serv-
ed your parents and you were united
in marriage to the "best" wife in all
the world. Little ones came to you
and the old story was repeated again,
the Church serving you and yours.
When sickness comes the Church
visits you and comforts you. When
trouble, defeat and Disappointment cross
your path, the Church stands by your
side whispering encouragement and
hope. And if perchance, you fall by
the way-side of life and are wrecked
upon shoals or shore, and are cast like
bit of drift-wood upon the waves
the Church reaches out helping hand
to draw you upon the Rock of Ages.
And when you 60 down into the val
ley of the shadow, and earthly lights
are fading the Church with the emblaz-
oned cross of Christ lights up the dark
ness and gloom of the grave. And
whenever other tie on earth is broken
you will still hold to your heart the tie
of your Church, your relationship to
Christ through His Church.
Has the Church served you?
You can show your appreciation and
gratitude for the Church serving you
by attending your Church.

IRON MOUNTAIN DEBATES
EAST JORDAN HERE !,
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT,

The Iron Mountain High School is the
only school left in the Upper Peninsula
which is still in the race for the State
Championship in debating. There are
but eight schools left in the State, two
of which are East Jordan and Iron
Mountain.
The Iron Mountain High School
comes to East Jordan next Friday
night, March 25th, to debate the East
Jordan High School in the second SER
les of elimination debates. The loser
of this debate will be eliminated from
the State contest, and the winner will
be included among the last four schools
in the State. East Jordan takes the
affirmative and Iron Mountain the
negative. This will undoubtedly be
the last debate held in East Jordan. If
East Jordan should be fortunate
enough to win this debate, it is more
than likely that the next debate will be
held in the southern part of the State
and of course the final debate if held
at Ann Arbor.
Iron Mountain comes nearly two
hundred miles and the team has not
yet been defeated this year.
This debate should be the climax OF
the debating season, and should be
one of the most important debates
which East Jordan has ever had.
