ROSEVILLE-A special COM
mittee representing six school
districts of Erin Township, and
headed by Glenn Schoenhals,
Superintendent Of Roseville
High School, today was studying
q solution to the pressing school
housing problems occasioned by
defense activities In South Ma
comb.
The Committee was formed at
q special conference held in the
Rosville Municipal building on
Tuesday night which was called
at the direction OF Col. Harold
Furlong, Administrator Of the
Michigan Defense Council.
Present at the conference
were representatives of the
County, State and Federal school
departments who attended In the
capacity of advisors to the local
school boards.
Outlining the problems faced
in the area, Col. Furlons de-
clared that two solutions must be
sought. He said that an immedi-
ate remedy for the crowded
conditions which will be felt in
all schools Of the area would be
found in the building Of temper
airy school structures with direct
aid from the federal govern
ment.
However" he warned,
whatever solution is made to
the immediate problem must al
so provide q sound basis for a
long range solution to the school
situation. Otherwise we will
simply freeze q bad situation and
put off the final day Of reckon
ing"
His proposal that some form
of consolidation bs worked out
was favorably received by the
assembly Of more than 80 school
board members from Erin Town
ship.
Col. Furlong gave his assur-
ance that funds for the temper
airy solution would be immed-
lately available at the rate Of
$4,000 per room in temporary
school buildings. It was sug-
gested from the floor that this
money could be applied to prim-
airy construction on buildings
which could later be completed
and turned into permanent
structures.

ward consolidation, he told the

TIPS to
QUICK FLOWER GARDENS

SOAOxA GAOWGks ol21sDGAN0
MANY people want quick re-
W suits in the flower garden,
and for them the lists of annual
flowers offer effective aid.
A highly satisfactory, and eco
nomical hedge, for instance, can
be grown in six or eight weeks
from seed. Kochia is the plant.
A single packet of Kochia seed
will provide full, bushy hedge
along the front or side of the yard.
For a Towering hedge, Four
O'Clock will produce attractively
within two months after seed is
planted.
Glowing borders of flowers that
beautify the yard, and at the same
time provide ample cut flowers
for the housewife, may be enjoyed
the first summer. The fastest
growing and most dependable an
nuals for cutting include the lin
MAS, Marigolds, Bachelor Buttons
and Petunias. There are tall, me-
dunn, and dwarf varieties of each.
Most widely used of fast-grow-
ing annual vines is Heavenly Blue
Morning Glory, whose giant, soft
blue flowers are in a class by
themselves. 1t is well to scratch
the coat of Heavenly Blue seeds
before planting them to speed
J their otherwise slow termination.

QUILTS do not belong to any
" one period and there doesn't
seem to be the slightest indication
that the old art of making them is
dying out. Most quilts today are
planned as bedspreads and have
color scheme to harmonic with
other decorations. If a variety of
figured scraps are used in the
piecing, one dominant plain color
is generally repeated in each
block to give the design unity.
Again, one color is combined with
white throughout the entire quilt.
Some quilts have elaborate pieced
borders; others are finished with a
band of white with the dominant
color used as an edge binding. A
bias striped material makes the
binding of the quilt in the Whirl
Wind pattern shown here.
The beauty of any quilt is en-
HANGED if it is set off with a val
ance around the bed. They knew
that in the days of the four-poster
and the rule applies still. The
bed in the sketch had no particu-
lar tradition and the footboard was
much too high to display the quilt
spread to advantage. What diff
ference in the effect when the
board was cut down and the crisp
frills of dotted Swiss were added
Surely, any quilt that is worth
piecing is worth this extra touch.
NOTE: If you have an old iron bed that
you would like to cut down. SEWING Book

QUESTIONS

To be tender meat should be
boiled at constant temperature
of $50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sauces shouldn't be added to
boiled onions, cabbage or celery
until time to serve.
Soap and water will remove ink
stains from washable fabrics if
stains are first soaked in milk.
Always polish furniture with the
grain in the wood.
To beat egg whites quickly add
a pinch of cream of tartar before
starting to beat. The eggs will
froth more quickly and hold their
shape longer time.
No roast should be covered DUR
ing cooking. They are all placed
in an open pan upon small rack
or trivet to keep them up from the
bottom of the rooster, and under
no circumstances is water added.
The old scheme of adding a little
water has been found to make a
roast less juicy.
