We stood up, prepared to go. "Dr.
Koenig, can you give us a lump sum
which might cover what you need
here" we asked.
81 could give you details about
beakers and test tubes, %retorts, acids
and other chemicals, and SO on. But
that wouldn't mean much to you.
l could use five or six thousand dol

Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Brown, S22
West Gaiena street, Butte, have
learned that their son, Josef, re-
Gently reproduced the famous Jim
my Durante asnOzZie" In plaster.
Josef went TO New York some time
ago and began a steady march to
prominence through his dancing
and scuIpt0ring.
In the late issues Of several maya
zines on the dancing art he has re-
ceived considerable favorable comment
and he has been mentioned in several
leading New York newspapers for his
proficiency in both dancing and
sculpture
He has made masks for Ted Shawn,
Patricia Bowman, Ruth st. Denis, Paul
Haakon, Catherine LittIefield and
others besides Durante Durante's nose
is Americas most widely advertised
proboscis.
Durante was hard subject to work
On, Josef said, because he Squirmed so
much, and complained about the weight
Of the moulage, which Josef used in
stead Of plaster. Moulage is even lighter
han plaster, and Durante's mask
only four ounces.
Another OF Durante's discrepancies
vas his refusal to let the moulage get
into his hair. He was afraid it would
make his dome even more barren than
t is.
But he had one good point-despite
he size Of his nose. He was a mouth
,reather, avoiding the necessity of put
ing straws In his proboscis to facilitate
'reathing during the sitting.
Among Josef's more recent notices
ire feature story in the New York
sun and a mention in George Ross
lew York World Telegram column,
SO This Is Broadway" Both are based
pon his experience with Jimmy Du-
ante.

Summer brings a busy round Of
picnicS, meetings and other COM
munity gatherings many of which
in turn mean feeding large num-
beers of people. What kind of meals
these groups are served depends
largely upon how well the meals
are planned, says Miss Bessie E.
McCleIland, extension foods and
nutrition specialist at Montana
State college.
Community meals, she said. are one
of the oldest and most popular forms
of recreation. When properly managed
they can be made an excellent means
of fostering good will and developing
community spirit.
Miss McClelland outlines five char
acteristics Of the successful community
meal.
First, she says, it is an occasion
where people of a community are given
an opportunity to become better ac-
quainted through pleasant social
hour.
Second, serve delicious, attractive food
that has been selected with an eye to
balance.
Third, the meal must be served on
time with minimum confusion Hot
dishes should reach the guests hot, and
cold dishes cold.
Fourth, there should be cooperative
by several women under
the direction of capable leader This
will distribute the work more evenly
and avoid working hardship on any
one person or group Of persons.
Fifth, the cost Of the meal should be
in keeping with the economic aspects of
The community or organization.
In serving a community meal one Of
he most important steps is careful adj
vance planning and thorough organi-
zation, Miss McClelland says. This will
include planning well-balanced menu,
purchase of supplies, preparation of the
lining room, obtaining dishes and cook
ng utensils, and arranging for serving
he meal and clearing away afterwards.
Organization work should include the
election OF an executive committee
With a capable woman as general chair
nan. Each other member should serve
Is chairman Of q subcommittee. How
many subcommittee are needed de-
bends upon the size of the group to be
erved. Such q list of committees would
include a menu and supplies committee,
,itchen committee, dining room COM
nittee, serving committee, and a COM
nittee to handle cleaning I'D after the
neal. And If the occasion Is an extra
pecial one, a decorations committee
would be in order.
With such an organization function |
ng efficiently, the community meal can /
Re made a success, Miss McClelland |
