Being situated on national high

matter. Bringing the students to
school on trucks is opposed by many
people for various reasons. but the
method has proved its worth where
il has been tried. So, for the best in

regularity OF attendance. truck lines
are a necessity in a consolidated
school.
The tax rate ia Union and adjoin-
Ing communities ishigh enough TO pro-
vide good teachers and equipment for
a large central school. while il is al
together insufficient for the many
small schools now in operation. The
expenses in school OF this sort would
be reduced TO minimum by placing
many pupils OF a similar age and mem

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

A delicious dessert that will ri
val the most expensive parfait on
the motel menu may be made at
home.
With fresh fruits in market, fruit
sauces are easily and cheaply pre-
pared in the home kitchen. Plain
vanilla ice cream, home made il
possible, a fresh fruit sauce and a
spoonful of whipped cream form a
simple n attractive dessert.
To make the fruit sauce of straw
berries use / cup Of sugar to 2 cups
of berries. Make a strap and when
cool add the berries slightly crushed
The sauce should be made several
hours before needed. Boil the sugar
with II cup water for 10 minutes.
This makes a heavy strip. BY add
ing the berries when the strip is
cool the berries are uncooked and
have a fresh taste, quite impossible
to secure in boiled sauce.
Pour the sauce over the ice cream
and top with a spoonful of whipped
cream.
Menu For Tomorrow
BREAKFAST - Orange Juice,
fried bread, strip, coffee.
LUNCHEON - Welsh rabbit,
crackers, drop cakes, tea.
DINNER-Ham and eggs, NASH
ed potatoes, prune conserve, lettuce
and radish salad, tapioca pudding

My Own Recipes
A plain tapioca pudding is good
and economically served with fresh
berries. The berries may be made
into a sauce and poured over the
pudding or the pudding may be
poured owe the berries and the
whole served with cream.

why couldn't she think of some
thing, the right thing, to say-why
did her lips mold to their straight
line, where were her smiles?
He hesitated awkwardly-the
world outside alight with moonglow,
the air was weighted with tho frag-
rance of m%ignonette, from the old
fashioned gardens nearby-the
very stiffness seemed t~hrillingly
alive.
He was talking-stumbling among

"Good-night," he . had rushed
away into the mignonette-scented
night.
If she had found the right word
suddenly beside her desk she saw a
sand pile and two or three rompered
youngsters. Did they have brown
eyes? W3s their hair ruddy brown?
But in an instant they were gone.
Mary crumpled the square of
heavy paper in her strong fingers
and dropped it into the waste bas-
kpt.
