 The film, Let's Eat Out was made by the City Health Depart ment of Flint, Mich, under the direction of Dr. George Hays then city health director. Plans are that Dr. Hays will be present at the picture showing here and vii, explain some of the points made in the Illuminating sequence which takes the audience to the back room" and shows some of the unsanitary practices which might be going on in the kitchen.
 The instructive film was an im- portant factor in the improved sanitation of such establishments in the Eastern city, where foo d handlers benefited greatly from the experience. The city's out standing success in raising stan- dards of sanitation was written up recently in a Saturday Evening Post item.

Virginia Girl
Takes Care of
Goat Herd
Animals Belong to
Fiance, Who Was
Called Into Army .
Prize Contribution.
BY JACQUELINE MONROE,

Fairfax Va.l High School.
Among the students OF my school
who are aiding the war effort, there
is one who does very unusual work
She is Patricia Potter, II, of Burke,
Va.
Her fiance, after getting a goat
herd going at its best, was called
into the Army. He was interested
in goats, and when he came to a
place where he could raise them, he
became very successful.
Patricia moved in with the mother
Of her fiance, and now she is tax
ing Bob's place. She does this very
well, considering that she lived in
Washington all her life. She is a
former student of Central High
School.
Pat gets up at $50 am. every day
and feeds eight nannies, one billy
and one wether, plus five baby billies,
or kids" After milking four of
them, she waters every one, then let's
them out of the barn into the barn.
yard. Bob built the barn and con-
structed the fence all alone.
At 7:45 Pat leaves home to catch
the bus mile away. She very rare
ly misses it.
About 430 pm. she gets home
from Fairfax High School, where
she is a senior, and at 5 80 she feeds
the kids again and puts the nannies
in the barn with fresh hay. At 6.
she provides them with grain and
mllks them. After the milk is cared
for, the kids are fed for the third
and last time.
Pat goes to bed at every night.
She gets along exceptionally well in
her classes at school.

bring up the point that Easter is a
movable feast" 1t moves about
the calendar, as we may say, and
has a changed date each year. The
present plan, dating from 1882, pro-
vides that it never can come earlier
than it did in 1918, and never later
than it does this year.
People nowadays do not become
greatly excited about the date Of
Easter, but there was time when
it gave rise to many disputes. The
Council of Nicea in 325 decided that
Easter must always fall on Sun
day. Ways of choosing certain
Sunday each year were worked out
in later times.
Rule in Britain.
In the British Isles, long after
the Council of Nicea, there were
disputes about the proper date for
Easter. One of these was settled in
664, after the Council of Whitby.
Oswio, the King of Northumbria,
said his kingdom would follow the
plan which had been approved by
the Pope.
Northumbria was an important
part Of Great Britain in the time
Of the Anglo-Saxons. It stretched
along the eastern side of the island.
from present-day Edinburgh to the
southern end of Yorkshire.
The name of Easter came from
an Anglo-Saxon goddess known as
'Eastre." She was said to be the
goddess of springtime, and a spring
month was called the Eastre
month" in her honor.
Since Easter is a Christian feast,
it seems strange that it should have
the name of an Anglo-Saxon god
'dess Actually. it had a different
name for several centuries. 1t was
not called Easter until after the
Anglo-SaXon tribes spread over
England and settled there.
Coming in the spring season, a
time of flowers and new plant life,
Easter is one of the most popular
festivals of the year. Aside from
Casters place in religion, the COL
ored eggs and the finding of Easter
baskets have made it a day of good
cheer Tor millions of boys and girls.
Origin of Sunday.
Sunday, the first day of the week,
may be called "the day of the sun"
That is what its name means. and it
has kept the name for many centu-
ries
Fifteen hundred years ago the
Anglo spoke of "Sunnan-
daeg," which was their way of say
ing Sunday" The Danes called the
day "zondag." and the Germans
used the name "Sonntag"
In ancient times the Jews set
aside Saturday as their Sabbath day,
and it is mentioned in the Ten
Commandments. Long ago, as at
present, the Jews marked the Sab
bath from Friday evening until
Saturday evening as a time for
prayers and other works of religion.
One rule which became a practice
for the Jews long ago made limit
for walking. No person was allowed
to walk more than 5000 feet during
the Sabbath.
After the coming of the Christian
faith Sunday. instead of Saturday,
became the chief day for religion.
There are a few Christian sects
which still observe Saturday, how
ever.

clallzed branch of aircraft, such as
sheet metal work or radio, YOU can
enter immediate employment. or
you can receive a ''refresher course"
of from four to six weeks duration
and 60 directly into an aircraft fac
tory.

green ferns and leaves Arrange
these artistically, then add a May
Day fairy. Make her from a burned
out bulb, or an eggshell. Paint
face on one side, add silk hair and
gold paper crown and wings, then
tuck her in among the flowers.
Or make small butterflies BY cut
ting crepe paper wings and fastening
them to pieces of wire, padding one
end to look like body. These are
effective among the flowers or at
tached to the handle.
Another idea is to dress up" fruits
with crepe paper hats, faces made of
reinforcing circle eyes, red paper
lips, silk hair, ETC., using shredded
cellophone to fill the spaces between.
Or fill small basket with gayly
patterned handkerchiefs, or hose
wrapped in hight-colored cellophone
to look like flowers. There's no end
to the ideas you can use for May
baskets, and everyone will love the

Westinghouse Boy Tells
Of Wakefield Restoration

been in the original house is a tilt
top table in the dining room. The
house faces the river and is sur
rounded by spacious, well-kept lawns.
The mansion is rectangular shaped
with several dormer windows and
tour chimneys, all typical of Vir-
glnia plantation house of the 18th
century. Near the front door an old
Hackbury tree, several fig bushes and
flowers are growing. These were
probably propagated from plants
that originally grew at Wakefield.
About so feet from the rear of the
house a typical Colonial kitchen has
been erected on the site of the orig
inal kitchen.
Near the mansion is a beautiful
formal garden with boxwood that is
well over 100 years old. This was
probably propagated from the orig
inal lockwood at Wakefield, as it was
brought from the home of Sarah
Tayloe Washington, relative of
George. Only those plants, flowers,
vines, herbs and berries that were
commonly grown in Virginia gardens
during the period of Washington's
youth are to be found in the garden.
The family burial plot is situated
about / mile from the mansion.
Among the 80 persons buried in this
cemetery were Col. John Washington,
who came from England; his wife,
Ann Pope; his brother, Lawrence;
his sons, Maj. Lawrence Washington
and Capt. John Washington; Au-
gustine Washington, the father OF
George, together with his first wife,
Jane Butler. and Augustine Wash
ington II, half f-brother OF George.
Two original gravestones remain, one
dated 1890 at the top and 1896 at the
bottom, and the other 1729. When
George Washington died In 1899, he
was buried ct his home ct Mount

A Special Word
Prize Contribution.

BY EDNA CATCHER,
Browne Junior High School
No doubt. by now, you all have
heard
A lot about special word
The word we mean is called DE
fense,"
And here is why it makes good
sense:
Defense is like lock on doors
Especially in time of war:
It's meant to keep all children free
From harm and insecurity.
A locked door gives us confidence,
A yard is safer with a fence
At night, policemen work a charm
To keep us safe and free from
harm.
Our house keeps out rain and hail
The same is true on larger scale;
Our Government protects us all,
And sees that no harm can befall.
Every American gives thanks
For ships and planes and armored
tanks
To keep us safe and free from harm
We have no need to feel alarm.
This saving for the U. S. A.
Is like brand-new game of play;
1t soon will be the general rule
For all the children in your school
Mother and Dad are saving, too,
Like all good patriots should do.
They say a Saving Bond for me
Is the finest of security.

sponsibilities have sprung up since
the war. No. 2 Ration books for the
northeast area were kept in the
banks safe, and most of the bank
students helped with the ration
work. In compliance with the
present luxury tax on amusements,
the ticket chairman has to be re-
sponsible for making a monthly tax
report to the Government on the
money collected from school affairs.
In cooperation with the Students
Citizenship Council, the bank is
also promoting the sale of War
bonds and stamps.
Incoming staff members must
have fair knowledge of bookkeep-
ing, a Group l scholastic average,
and character references. At first,
they do teller work, while they learn
to manipulate the bank machines
and gradually progress. The sched-
ule is so regulated that no student is
kept on one job more than one
semester SO that every one learns
the entire system. Advancement is
in accordance with length of serv.
ice, quality, initiative. tactfulness
and sense of responsibility shown.
Graduates Find Jobs.
Students work two periods each
day in the bank, receiving one
credit toward gradual ation per semes-
ter. One of these periods is spent
in teller work, while the other is fol
recording transactions in the books
At the close of each day the cash
must be balanced, with any deficit
made up by the Staff. An efficient
auditing system is employed so that
errors in bookkeeping or other
work are easily detected.
Officers for this term are Fran
els Antonelli, president; Josephine
Crupper, vice president; Winnifred
Vogt, cashier; Joseph Terranova
chairman of stamps, bonds, tickets
and taxes; Lois Robinson, auditor
of the books: Margaret Embrey,

Kretsinger, Jean Taylor and Mary
Witherow, secretaries.
Bank club meetings are held every
Wednesday after school, under the
direction of Francis Antonelli.
Social affairs for the year include
picnics, hikes and parties, with the
final party each semester being
held at the managers home.
f. With this practical experience,
many OF the students, on gradua-
ton, find permanent banking posi-
tions open to them. The majority
being good in accounting and book
keeping, they obtain positions along
this line. According to Mr.. Waltz,
alumni often comment on how help
fun working in the school bank was
to them in adjusting themselves in

Using Coaxial Cables
To Hasten Televisi0n

One of the reasons that television
has been so slow in arriving" is
that television broadcasts could only
be received short distance from
the transmitter. Television waves
could not, like ordinary radio broad
casts, be sent over telephone wires
to distant points and there rebroad-
cast by local stations. But expert
ments with coaxial cables have
shown that television can be trans
mitted over this new speaking
tube" so we may shortly expect to
be watching the World Series come
in on our own sets at home.
