BY Irene King

a house with a Cinderella his
tory is that of MI. and Mrs. J. p.
Brodnax and MI. and Mrs. Muir
ray Clark at 1476 Washington
avenue.
Smartly suffered and avn
inged and surrounded by a smooth
well-kept lawn, the present edi-
flee little resembles the boxy,
barefaced project house it used
TO be. And it owes its attractive
ness to the ingenuity and mag
inatiou Of its new owners.
From the latticed brick founda-
ton to the pale blue walls and
snowy woodwork, the house has
undergone a transformation since
the days when it was simply a
Green Lumber Company" type
house surrounded by duplicates
in a section of Eastlawn.
From the moment the house
was deposited by a moving truck
on the raw bulldozed lot the
change has taken place steadily
amid comments of how awful il
was for zone of those ugly prof.
ect houses to be moved into a
nice residential district" Mrs.
Brodnax remembers with a
smile.
First a spacious porch was ad-
ded. screened and enclosed with
Ia transparent material for an
a~ll-weather room Partitions were
moved TO make an attractive
kitchen with pantry and break
fast nook and big windows and
a psnel-door were specially built
TO fit The wall of the living room
leading TO the porch.
A window fan adds comfort to
the living room, kitchen and
porch half of the house, and an
other draws air in a refreshing
breeze through the three bed
rooms and bath. There has been
a floor furnace installed for cold
weather. These. in conjunction
with the excellent insulation of
attic and walls, keep the house
comfortable in most any kind of
weather.
Several veterans and their fam
lilies who purchased similar
houses have visited Mr.. and Mrs.
Brodnax and their son-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Clark, to
get ideas on how to fix up their
homes.

Feminine Touch

"But we're not through" Mrs.
Brodnax says. I'VE have plans
for adding another bedroom and
bath in the near future
There are other plans afoot,
too, for raising eating" pigeons.
Already there is a pigeon house
at the back of the 100 by 200-foot
lot where they plan to start with
80 pair and sell the squads.
For a quickly assembled sup
per dish, split frankfurters
lengthWise but not entirely
through, and broil. Fill with hot
potato salad springfield with fine
ly minced parsley or paprika. To-
mato halves, broiled with tn e
frankfurters, are good accompa-
niment to this dish. For dessert,
serve sponge sake squares with
green. applesauce and custard
sauce.
When Blackie boW-Wows these
days it may we'll mea in dog
language, Have you heard about
my operation?"
She can brag about her scar
with the best Of 'em and give WV
id details of her infected ap-
pendix.
Believe it or not, Blackie, an
11-month-old dog of u~nspecified
ancestry, has had an appended
tony.
Mrs. Virgil Gill, the pups own
err, tells the story this way:
Blackie disappeared for a few
days and when she was recov-
cred she was thin and sickly. Re-
peated trips to the vet, DR.. Ralph
W. Marsh, failed to reveal any
definite symptoms and finally
DR.. Marsh decided to operate
and see for himself what was
troubling Blackie's insides. And
the operation showed d greatly
enlarged appendix and peritonitis
The little dog was mighty sick
for several days and Mrs. Gill
fed her with an eye dyopper ev-
cry hour. Neighbors were inter
ested and responded in the best
neighborly manner with delica-
cies designed to tempt the most
difficult appetite.
And Blackie responded to all
the kindness and attention. She's
regained her health now but she's
still got her scar to prove her
claim to fame.

Urge Seniors to Enter
Scholarship Contest

Montana high school seniors
interested in science are re-
minded of their double chance
to earn scholarships by entering
the nationl Science Talent
Search, according to Clifford ".
Davis assistant professor of ZOO
logy and entomology at Mon
tana State college. .. j.
Davis, who heads this years
Montana Science Talent pro-
gram, points out that students
of this state who enter the
Ninth Annual Science Talent
Search for the Westinghouse
Science scholarships, will also
be eligible for scholarships in
Montana. Seniors entering the
national contest are automati-
cally enrolled in the state pro-
gram and it is necessary to
enter the national in order to
qualify for state awards.
This is the third year the
cooperative plan has been tried
in Montana and although a
student from this state has
never won a national scholar
ship, in 1949 five Montana SEN
iors rated among. the upper
500 students from the nations
$1,000 public, private and paro-
chia1 schools.
OF the 38 which entered the
1949 state contest, eight receiv-
ed scholarships by special
scholarship funds from the.
college. That large percentage
about 900 last year-gives
competing students an excellent
chance of winning a scholar
ship.
1.-THE main problem is to en-
courage the schools to enter
their students" Davis explains.
There is no charge, all that
has to be done is to fill In a
card and send 1t in"
Entries should be sent to the
national office by November IS
If at all possible. This gives the
officials handling the contest
time to get all instruction out
to schools before December S.
