adding quite a bit of sugar to taste,

Your space is SO interesting and

MY very sincere thanks if you can.
Twenty froggies went to school
Down beside a rushy pool.
Twenty little coats of green
Twenty vests all white and clean.
We must be on time, said they,
First we study, then we play!
That's how froggies keep the rule,
When we froggies are good at school.
Twenty froggies grew up fast,
Bullfrogs they became at last,

This probably dates back to the

(RequeSted by Mrs. T. L. W., jr.,

I have tried unsuccessfullv to
make white sauce smooth, but no
matter how carefully 1 follow d.
rections 1t is almost always lumpy.
Have any of your readers a sug-
gestion?
Also can some one tell me how
starch should be used correctly?
Should the starch be put into a tub
OF warm water, or should the starch
be put in the tub, then diluted from
the faucet, or is it best to put the
starch in the tub with no water?
My starch is generally too thick
when I've finishing making it, and
don't need to use it all at once.
So I've been just putting some of
1t in the tub of water, but it is
usually lumpy. Know this is a
very simple thing. but I've never
known just how to use starch as
I've been lucky enough to have a

The term "Wilco" used by the
tower operator and pilot, usually
means the acknowledgment of
transmitted order and that he will
comply with same.
Planes always circle the field to
the left on final approach unless
otherwise instructed by the tower.
Ordinarily, the Airport Traffic Con-
troll Tower has control over all
planes within a radius of three
miles of the field, provided they
are flying within 1900 feet above
terrain. East bound planes are all
cleared at an odd number of feet,
as 1000 feet and west bound traf-
fic is cleared at an even number
of feet. Planes without radio are
landed by the traffic control light,
which is called "the biscuit light"
treason unknown). The handle to
this gun shaped light is visible in
the picture just above Sgt. Flem-
ing's head. The light is operated
from the ceiling by pulleys and is
visible for fifteen miles at night.
Green or red flashes can be sent
by this light and is valuable in
landing planes which are without
radio.

The tower, rising 65 feet above
the ground, is glass-enclosed and
stores intricate two-way radio
equipment and other essential
equipment, some of which is visible

radio freQuencies tuned in at all
