wedding dinner at The Farm.
Did you see 1.-THE Egg and I?''
It was good. Sure now, we slipped
away. from work and saw the last
show. We enjoyed it so much,
even though we did have to stand
in line.
Saturday: - From the sounds
issuing from The Farm, you would
think we had a pet seal. We don't
have. It is vi Lane with laryngitis
making the noise.
We had several nice guests to-
night:
Messrs and Mesdames Lou Bell
and Wayne Bowen Of Richland
were here for dinner. In another
party, Hal and Alice Boone Clark.
Don and Stephanie Seeley of Ken
newick, al Barnard and G. ]. Nc
Creole OF Portland.
Did any of you happen to see
the beautiful white gardenias vi
Lane and were wearing? No, our
husbands didn't get them for US.
A good friend brought them to
us. Thank you, Frank Edwards.
They were very much appreciated.
Sunday: - vi still has laryn-
gifts. It is really rough not to be
able to talk. Lots Of people have
today but no special parties.

Recruiting Pace
asst In December

Pasco's U. S. Army and U. S.
Air Force Recruiting Station sue
ceeded in enlisting 1877 Of its
quota for the month of December.
Twenty two men joined the Army
and Air Force during the last
month of 1947, making it the best
month Of the entire year. Nor
nally, December is considered q
slow month for recruiting, due to
the Christmas holidays.
Commenting on the reasons for
this unusual figure, lst 1t. William
B. Stubs, Commanding Officer Of
the Pasco recruiting station, ex-
planned:
"The biggest single reason for
our success in December is that %
men discovered the truth. The
Force offer young men a better
truth is that the Army and Air
deal than the average civilian con-
cern."
Looking ahead to the new year,
1t. Stubs concluded:
We're going to work even hard
er during 1913 to bring the truth
home to the young men of Pasco
and vicinity. The army and air
force provide the answer to many
young mems problems. BY enlisting
for three, four, or five years, they
can acquire specialized technical
training, and make a better living
than most civilians at the same
time. By choosing the army and
air force as career, they car.
enjoy lifetime of useful pleas
ant work, with retirement after
twenty or thirty years. We invite
candidates to come into the office
at 112 South 4th Street in Pasco

Researchers To Study Best Methods
Of CANNING and Freezing Soft Fruits

l An action of far reaching I'M
portance was taken at the recent
January Is meeting of the Wash
ington State Fruit Commission,
For long time there has been
need for research for standardiz-
alton and improvement of home
methods of freezing and canning
Washington-grown soft tree fruits.
Such a study will now be made
under the terms of a scholarship
arrangement to be completed
between the Commission and
Washington State College.
Present information on home
canning and freezing has for the
most part originated in the Middle
West and East. These methods do
not take into account the differ
ences in cultural and environ
ment conditions found in the Nor
Invest. Rapid expansion Of our
soft tree fruit industry makes It
doubly important that home pre-
servation of our soft fruits will
grow in extent and efficiency.
The study to be made at Wash
ington State College will be ass
listed by yearly grants from the
Commission for a three year per-
iod. Persons making the study will
be graduate students who are can
didates for doctors degrees. Sup
ervision over the program will be
exercised by Dean Velma Phillips
of the Division of Home Econom-
les and DR.. T. A. Merrill, of the
Division of Horticulture. Those
directly in charge of the work will
be Margaret A. McGregor, Divis-
ion of Home Economics, and G. L.
Bedford of the Division of Hortic-
ulture.
Fruits to be included in these
studies will be apricots, cherries,
peaches, Bartlett pears and plums.
Chemical and nutritional studies
will be made of each of the fruits
when exposed to various methods
of home preservation. Work will
begin on this three-year study at
the start Of the coming soft fruit
season.

STODDARD ASKS FOR
IGNORANCE PLANNING
AT UNIVERSITY OF
ILLINOIS

University officials have pro-
posed that the state consider
a master plan of education
an ''Illinois Reconstruction
Program" for every type of
schooling from kindergarten
through the college years. The
cost would be several hundred
million dollars, perhaps to
come from a bond issue.
President George D. Stod-
dard, who achieved recogni-
ton as New York State Com
missioner of Education, a posi-
ton in which he directed what
is rated the best state school
system in the u. S. discuss
ed the overall plan at a meet
ing of the University's board
of trustees on February Fl.
The trustees voted unanimous
ly to ask President Stoddard
and his staff to prepare the
proposal in detail-for discus
sion in a statewide conference
to be attended by state Off
