a. now 90 room school building

in the near future.
Tho site between the elementary
,.bool building and the gymnaSi-
mn was recommended for the new
obstruction. .,Ir and this will call for
tho moving of both the home eco
n o and agricultural buildings
and will, according to architects,
make the new building the domi-
Mating attraction as viewed from
the main highways.
The site agreed upon Monday
will leave the five acre track pur-
chased a few years ago behind the
nav construction and will be the
puposed location of the athletic
field which the local Civilian club
is planning at the present time.

luncheon gathering at Mrs. Mary

custom of the location was carried
on.
Senator J. X. Powell accom-
panied the other officials during
the afternoons discussion.
Principal c. H. Primer agreed
with other officials that the pro-
posed locating of the building at
the end of the elementary school
and slightly TO the rear of that,
building, will make for greater eff
fceney in that cafeteria facilities
would be more directly available
TO students attending classes in
both buildings and that the ad-
illustrative work would be facih-
lated in that the buildings would
be more closely connected. First
thoughts of the new site dealt
WITH placing it in the area across

houses are expected to inaugurate

low a similar policy. Walter H.

that it would be in effect for

Willard G. Cole, executive Sec
rotary of the merchants associa-
ton here, said the Wednesday af-
ternoon closings during the three

fort on the part of the business
men to give their employees q
little time off during the beach
and gardening season.
"Our merchants wish to call this
to the attention of their patrons
so that none will be inconvienced
and to respectfully request their

Report to the Housewife

It's about reached the point where
Tn afraid to mention meat. with
prices as they are. Nevertheless,
the thrifty shopper is still going to-
find some good values offered. Fry
ing chickens will be very reason
able, as will the forequarter cuts
of lamb and veal. Ground beef and
plate beef are the best among the
beef choices. While these less ex-
pensive cuts may take little more
time to prepare, don't lose sight OF
the fact that they have all the
flavor, nutrition and satisfaction OF
the higher priced steaks and roasts.
Several new fruits are on the
market this week, local red and
black raspberries, sour and sweet
cherries, nectarines, plums and some
freestone peaches from Georgia.
The berries are definitely in thel
luxury class, so don't say youl
haven't been warned! There areI
plenty of cantaloupe about, also
watermelon. One dealer told me
that another week would see the
end OF the present orange crop.
LINES and lemons are not only
plentiful, but very good, so use
them for your source OF vitamin G.
1t seemed to me there was Just
about everything in the choice OF
vegetables. Green cabbage is much
better quality than it has been;
salad green's are always q little
scarce this time of the year, but
there are so many cooking greens
to use instead you'll hardly miss
them. Anyway, who cares when
corn-on- -the-cob and asparagus can
be had?
HERE AND THERE: No matter
what the rest Of the menu may be,
serve your tossed vegetable salad rs
a starter course. The would-be salad
passersby will nibble away at the
greenery without noticing it. i
Food garnishing is both q science
and an art. The garnishes should
arouse interest, stimulate the appe-
tite and add to the eating pleasure.
Don't overdo 1t is all. Some effective |
