BIG WPA STREET PROJECT
FOR MALTA

At the meeting of the Malta viii
lage council last week, preliminary
action was taken regarding the i'm
provement of 1 5 blocks of Malta
streets with curb, cutters and black
topping.
The estimated cost of the WPA
project is about $4,000, of which
the government appropriates about
$4,000, and the villages share
will be about $500. It is hardly
likely that construction work will
get under way for a couple of
months, or perhaps longer

afternoon. Tell me. what do you
think this is? I'll give you one
guess" And she held out to him
a pan of greenish brown particles.
wild rice" Mark said instantly.
why, you're a grand provider."
That's what I thought 1t was.
I've eaten IL before. but I guess
this is the first time l ever san
1t just as it grew"
rs there much of it, Where
did you find it?'
Quite lot of 1t, maybe a whole
swamp. 1 waded in to get it."
Turning his head painfully.
Mark could see that Doris was
barefooted and her jodphurs were
soggy wet.
There's a bushel or more of il
down there If can get it. And l
can. You'll see.
Il just came back with this pan
full for you to look at so I'd be
sure that it is really wild rice.
think I'm going to lay in store
for the winter"
1T is getting colder" Mark said.
Sieet-like Rain
One would have to be complete
ly unobservant to see that clouds
had gathered and that there was a
cold squirt of sleet-like rain in the
wind every now and then.
How do you cook it, Mark, do
you know
Soak it, that's about all
know, then it's fried or put in
turkeys. or something like that
20. k" Doris grinned. Sup
pose we stuff the pheasants with
it tonight. You say soak it first ?"
Yes, that's right, I guess"
Doris pulled the blanket closer
over Marks shoulders and went
down to the lake to fetch water.
She came back up the shore an
hour or so later dragging the duff
file bag a fourth filled with the
wild rice. Mark was asleep. Steve
had returned during her absence.
He was busy building up the
fire, piling the driftwood close to
the wind barrier she had erected.
and looking anxiously now and
then up at the sky.
I'm afraid we're in for some
weather" he said cheerfully
enough as she came up to him.
II quit the search early because I
thought I'd come back and do ex-
actly the thing you've done, erect
this windbreak."
Doris was delighted that he
seemed pleased.
Il thought last night if we only
had something TO keep that wind
away from US we'd have been a
lot warmer"
That's right. You've done 4
good job" Steve commended. 1T
looks as though we'll need plenty
of shelter tonight. I'm thinking
of putting a roof over our heads
with one of those blankets Mark
has"
I'm afraid he can't spare it."
Hell just have to, Doris. If it
SHOWS we've got to get him IN
where it's dry. The blanket will
be more effective as a windbreak
than it would be wrapped over
him.
You've got this thing planned
exactly right. Now If we can
build up the other side with the
fire here we ought to keep rea-
sonably comfortable even through
snow storm"
From then until dark closed over
their wilderness world Steve and
Doris worked. Steve said nothing
about his disappointment of the
day. There was, in fact. little TO
say. He had searched in a circle
as far as he dared go, without
seeing a sign of a human habita-
ton.
IN try again tomorrow" he
evaded when Doris questioned him.
Lets not worry about anything
but getting sheltered as best we
can for tonight You've given US
wonderful start, Doris"
