Repairing MAY BE.

their school grounds, play grounds
and play courts fixed up through the
Works Progress Administration, &C
cording to county superintendent
Olaf Aasheim, who, this week Is In

state superintendent Of public In
struction, Elizabeth Ireland, outlining
the proposed program.
According to Miss Ireland, these
projects could be carried on in every
part Of the state, where the school
grounds are greatly in need OF I'M
prtvement. Most Of the labor would
be unskilled and the cost OF material
would be low.
Miss Ireland estimated that about
$1,000 for each of the one hundred
smaller grade schools and $1,000 for
each OF the one hundred larger
schools, making a total cost OF $780,
600, would be necessary to full cover
the two hundred projects.
Ray Hart, Works Progress Admin
tendent that cleaning up" and
fixing up" Of various school
grounds is exactly the type OF work
the administration Is interested In.
He said that school districts In each
case would be sponsors Of the pro-
ject.
Mr.. Hart emphasized that it is
necessary to have the projects where
there are relief rolls as all work
from that department must be from
that source.
1t is expected that Sheridan coun-
ty schools will take advantage OF the
newly outlined program.

ICED TEA TINE
ALMOST HERE
Cool and intriguing SUM
fner Drinks Prepared
With Tea

Iced tea as a summer beverage
Is gaining more popularity each
year--a tribute to it's ii1vigorating
and thirst-quenching properties.
It makes the most economical
warm. weather drink--three cents
covers the cost Of one quart, in
GLIDING all ingredients.
To make a really delicious iced
tea drink Of proper strength and
excellent flavor, be sure to use a
high quality Orange Pelkoe and
Pekoe (black) tea blend--Salada
tea, for instance. Steep I'VE tea
spoonfuls in a quart of fresh boil
ing water (be sure 1t Is 'bubbling''
boiling) and allow 1t to steep for
i've minutes. After this time.
pour the tea OF the leaves into 4
pitcher, add the juice Of half
lemon and half a cup OF sugar
and If time permits--put At in the
refrigerator to cool. Add ice only
when ready TO serve--and then
just cube to tinkle in the glass.
This amount is just right for serv-
ing four people. Make a sufficient
quantity each morning to last
through the day.
If you wish to serve iced tea
Immediately, make the tea double
strength and while IL Is still hot
pour it over a generous glassful of
cracked ice. Add sugar and LEM
ON to taste. This will make de-
licious cold drink in a very few
minutes. Choice tea, carefully
brewed, is a perfect base for
punches. Many cooling and in.
triguing summer drinks may be
prepared with tea. A few of the
variations which may be made are
listed below:

The Junior Senior Banquet

About this time of the year, high
school students all over the coun-
try are beginning to think in terms
Of the Junior Senior Banquet.
For months, the Juniors have been
plotting among themselves to send
the Seniors off with a parting VOL
ley of choice razz, while. the
Seniors have quietly schemed to
outwit them. Huge fun this, for
entertainment committees, but no
great help to the mothers who
must plan and serve the dinner.
For theirs is the problem of finding
suitable budget-proof menu
worthy of the occasion, to appor-
ton the tasks among themselves,
and to serve the dinner under con-
ditions often not too convenient.
Sometimes dishes must even be
prepared at home and brought
later to the banquet hall because
there is no convenient kitchen IN
the. school house. So it is impor.
tant that the menu be wisely chos-
en- to ease the mothers tasks.
These menus offer an opportunity
for mutual pleasure on the part of
the hostesses and guests alike:
Fresh Pineapple and Strawberry
Cocktail
Steak Baked i'm Mushroom

Buttcred Asparagus
Cheese Waters
New Potatoes in Parsley Butter
Spring Combination Salad
Ice Cream on Sponge Cake with

we ever have Shis French dish
that tastes so good ?"
That happened, recently, with SO
prosaic a dish as Hamburger en-
Brochette, and am passing on to
you an inexpensive recipe that won
as loud acclaim at home as it did

in oval balls. Wrap each in a slice
Of bacon and force skewers
through them. Arrange skewers
across a bread pan SO fat will drip
into the pan, and broil until the
bacon is crisp, turning that the
cooking will be even. Serve on
triangles Of toast.

years standing. And I confess 1
have never altogether got over it.
It dates back to the first meal
