TEACHERS STUDIED HARD

South Pasadena, Cal. U.P) - Charges of poorly trained teachers have no basis in this city's high school, where 63 percent of the in- structors average six years or more of college training.
 Sixteen percent of the teachers can point to eight or more college years and none has less than four years.

When the crowd gathers on the Fourth of July, hot and thirsty, serve de luxe chilled drinks.
 Try this combination of citrus pieces with ice cream.
 Citrus Soda
 For each soda, combine 2-3 cup chilled blended orange and grape fruit juice with 1-3 cup chilled ginger ale in tall glass. Add large scoop of vanilla ice cream and two straws, and you have a treat in any weather.
 For an old-fashioned Fourth of July drink, serve silver pitcher of iced raspberry shrub. This re- cipe comes from Cooking With Foreign Flavor" a new book by the always reliable Florence La Ganke Harris.
 Raspberry Shrub
 Four quarts red raspberries, 9 cups cider vinegar, sugar.
 Put berries in colander. Let cold water run over them lightly. Drain. Spread on large enameled tray. The enameled drop pan of the stove is excellent.
 Set in cool oven, not more than 250 degrees F. After the berries have been in for ten min- utes, pull the tray out and mash them lightly with a spoon. Put tray back in oven for 30 minutes. The heat should be so low that it does nothing but set the juice to running.
 Put fruit in a jelly bag Squeeze out juice. Measure. Count the cups. Measure one-fourth as many cups of sugar.
 Boil sugar and juice for IS min- utes after boiling begins. Add vinegar. Boil 10 minutes longer. Pour into hot, clean jars, capping

wet seal.

Blanche Thebom, Metropolitan Opera singer, has made her head a beauty signature with a straight haired coif. She wears her hair parted on the side, pulls it back from serene brow, and with the aid of brilliantine makes it cling like wet silk to her head. Long ends are coiled and anchored at the nape of her neck. Sometimes they're braided and worn, Brunhilde-fash- ion. across the top of the head.
 Needless to say, however, either type of straight-haired coif calls for regular features and a well- proportioned face.

County Receives
$12,67O.37 For
Housing Program
Entire Amount MAY
Be Used To Solve
Housing Problems

Under the provisions of House
Bill No. sos, passed by the Goth
! Ohio general assembly, fourth
| special session, the maximum
amount allocated to Noble county
was $12,670.37 for the purpose of
providing immediate temporary
emergency housing for the veter-
ans of World War II in this politi-
cal subdivision
Due to several public hearings
and other important business
transacted by the commissioners
on Monday, they took no action on
the application for this money, but
Auditor Ray McVay indicated to-
day that the commissioners in
tended to do so in the very near
future.
Before the Noble county COM
missioners can make application
for a grant under this act, they
must pass a resolution authorizing
the application to be made and
specifying the amount requested.
At the time that the application is
forwarded to the office of State
Treasurer Don H. Ebright, it must
be accompanied by a certified copy
of the resolution passed by the
board
The commissioners are required
under the provisions of section six
to report to the treasurer of state
twice yearly upon the provisions
which have been made for Veter
ans housing within Noble county
The first report shall be made on
or before Feb. IS, l947, and cover
the period ending December 81,
1947.
The house bill appropriated &c.
000,00000 for the entire state and
it will be distributed upon applica-
tion by the county commissioners |
to the treasurer of state, in the |
ratio that the total population of
the county bears to the total popu-
lation of the state as determined .
by the 1910 federal census.
The Noble county commissioners |
have been given wide powers in
this new legislation, designed eX-
pressively and for no other pur- /
pose than to aid the veterans.
What course they will pursue re-
mains to be seen but before any
local program can be set up, it is
first necessary to submit the ap-
olication for the allotted money.
Veterans who are interested In a
housing program should contact
he commissioners or Auditor Nc
yay and their suggestions may be

Commissioners Go
On Record Against
Parking Meters
Controversy Looms
AS Council Fails To
Decide, Pro Or Con

A battle royal is looming over
the horizon between the Noble
county commissioners and the
Caldwell village council on the
proposed installment of parking
meters in Caldwell.
At their regular meeting Mon
day afternoon, the commissioners
adopted a resolution, which en-
phatically states that they are
against such a proposal, and they
are urging the council to refuse to
place meters in Caldwell.
A representative of the Dual
Parking Meter Co. was in Caldwell
at the last regular meeting of the
local council and he explained the
benefits which might be derived
from the installation of the meters.
The council, however, did not take
any official action and at no time,
did they indicate that as a body,
they would favor the proposition.
By the same token, the meter sit
uation has never been voted down.
AS a matter of fact it is not only
hanging fire, but drawing fire, as
we'll, from all sides.
The Noble county commissioners,
stated in part, that they were of
the opinion that the parking area
on the inside of the street sur
rounding the public square in
Caldwell should be for the free use
of the general public.
They further resolved that, as a
board of commissioners, they con-
demned the placing of parking
meters or any other instrument or
device for the collection of money
from the public for parking privi-
legeS on the inside of the square
and urge the council to refuse to
place such meters here.
Adoption of the resolution was
made by G. H. Rayner and sec
onded by H. G. Williams, with Ray
Shriver voting in favor of same.
AS it now stands, the council
would be powerless to place park
ing meters on the inside of the
square, since this property is con-
trolled by the county and not the
village.
1t has been suggested that rather
han permit the parking meter
to continue week after !
week, the council should take def
mite action, either favoring such |
4 system or vote against it and
lrOp the entire issue.
The council is being urged to
axe the next final move at their
egular meeting night on the first
Tuesday in October.
