Bills Are Paid, Directors Tell Fair Membership

Only few Fair Association members were present at the stockholders meeting last Friday evening, when their board of di- rectors and manager gave pro- gress report of fair plans.
 A complete financial statement was submitted by treasurer Jan Koslosky. He reported that all bills are paid, including a $739 land payment and the S3, 300 pur- chase price of the fair car. The Associations bank balance is only S107 now, but MT. Koslosky said advertising returns and re- ceipts from the sale of car tick cts are expected to boost that total in the next few weeks.
 After the new premium list was read, Association president Parker Lester asked for sugges- tions from the membership.
 Robert Klem asked that this year particular attention be giv- en to the selection of judges, choosing only those who are ex- perts in their field. He said be believed a printed scorecard, showing points on which dis plays are graded, would be of material help to the farmer. He stressed the educational aspects of fair, saying the farmer could learn a great deal from the judg- ing of his exhibits.
 It was also MT. Klem's sug- gestion that prizes be given only to agricultural exhibits of market value in this area. Known varie- ties, in which several farmers show exhibits, should be the only ones to get prizes, he con- tended.
 MT. Koslosky advanced plan for paying premiums in cash, rather than by check as in past years.

More FootstOols

THE OLD FASHIONED tin can
foot stool is very simply made and
takes seven fruit juice cans or quarts

8 cans. I find the taller cans very
desirable.
For the plain stool both ends may
be left In place. Arrange the cans
around one center can. Mark points
of contact with any sharp tool "a file
or heavy naiD. Drive one nail hole
corner-ways through just below top
seam on each six cans and six holes
In the seventh. Then tie together
with wire or with cord, passing string
between two and around the next
till all are tied firmly, though I like
the wire tied through the holes bet
ter. Turn the stool ove and tie the
same on other end.
Now set the stool on a large paper
and draw around for the pattern
cover. Then cut out, leaving H-inch
for seams. Make two of these. I
used corduroy, though any uphol-
stery cloth will do. Measure this disk
carefully, allowing for seams and cut
a strip two inches wider than cans.
After stitching, sew the bottom in,
now add sheet wadding, batting or
any padding. I like two or three
thicknesses of blanket. Then place
cans in over. Pull up snugly, then
pad top about an inch thick. I have
used a round pillow stuffed with
chicken feathers. Then sew top on
and finish with upholstery braid OF
rope over final seam.
If a ~container is wished, use opened
cans. Cover each with muslin before
joining and use a round board tt
form lid. I attach a strong lool
about 6 inches long on car containel
on two sides and a 3-inch loop on liz
to match. Insert the big loop on can
through the small loop twice, form

The air stream you send across the

different notes and the air in the bot

notes, and to its overtones. This
note depends on the dimensions of

Limit on Bond Interest Phone Unions Create
Raised in Alexandra Joint Action Group
10 Meet Tight Market To Seek Higher Pay

The ordinance authorizing a
IS $50, 600 Alexandria bond issue for
various public improvements was
changed by the City Council last
night to permit payment of a high
er rate of interest.
The action was taken after New
York bonding attorneys Informed
Alexandria officials they would no,
be able to sell the bonds for theil
face value at the 2 per cent interest
rate specified in the original ordi-
nance. Sealed bids for purchase Of
the bonds are to be opened at noon
Thursday.
An amendment permitting the
higher interest rate was passed on
the first two readings last night and
the required third reading will come
before the regular Council meeting
Tuesday night.
40 Interest Ceiling Set.
The amendment to the bond ordi-
nance sets ceiling of per cent on
the bonds interest rate. The bono
bids, therefore, will hinge on the
interest rate, with the Council ex-
pected to accept the lowest.
The last Alexandria bond issued
sold about four years ago, bore 2 Del
cent interest, but a premium paid
by the purchaser had the effect OF
reducing the interest rate to about
IL per cent.
When the councilmen pointed this
out to the bonding attorneys, they
were told money is much tighter
now.
To Consider Bids Thursday.
The new form of the ordinance
will not require postponing the bid
deadline beyond Thursday, however
as pamphlets advertising the issue
were changed last week in anticipa-
ton Of last nights action, it was
disclosed.
The Council is expected to meet
Thursday night to accept a bid on
the bonds. This probably will be
the last act performed by the pres
ent City Council, as a new Council
takes over September /. 1t will be
the job Of the new council, which
will include only three incumbents
to figure out how to retire the bond
issue.
The $3.50, 900 in bonds is being
sold to finance school building pro-
gram exceeding $4,000, 900, street i'm
provements and storm sewer con-
struction.

Mr.. Nolan, who writes poetry now
and then, composed a verse once
about the incompatibility of ar
thritis-trom which he suffers-and
the long steps, where there might
have been a ramp.
And then there are those people
who seem to think that" if you're
in wheel chair, you're beggar."
He thought about that once dur
ing an impromptu excursion from
the Philadelphia Home for Incur
ables. where he has lived for "a
years.
Mr.. Nolan likes to 60 to the
movies. So, undoubtedly, do many
other people who have to sit in
wheel chairs. But most theaters
don't have space for such chairs
They could leave wide back row,
he suggested.
Until he was IA, Mr.. Nolan was
well. Then nagging pains began.
Since then he has been crippled by
arthritis. He still has some use of
his hands. He can push his wheel
chair slowly.
With Mr.. Nolan in Washington is
his father, Thomas D. Nolan, 70.
