(Fron, Mrs. J. p, ArlingtonJ
For Mrs. E. H. NJ, Washington:
Referring to your lost bedspread
pattern Chevy Chase), I have the
pattern in Book No. 1856. titled

DRIED STRING BEANS.
ROSE JAR?


From Mrs. C. V. E., Washington
Wonder if any of our readers
can give me recipe for making
the "old fashioned" dried string
beans. When I was a child my
mother always had a bag of dried
string beans put aside for the
winter. When ready to use she
would soak them in cold water
overnight and the following day
cook them with a piece of ham,
and how good they were! I am
anxious to know if these beans
were parboiled before drying and
if so were they parboiled as a
whole bean or were they split
through the center. Any help
any of our readers can give me
will be greatly appreciated as l
am most anxious to make some
of these dried beans.
Sometime ago you published a
reciepe for making a rose jar. I
have mislaid this article and won-
der if the reader who gave it
would be good enough to pass it
on again.

AFRICAN VIOLETS?
From Mrs. B. R., WaShingtonJ
I am sending out an sos to
save my African violets. Healthy
plants until now, a white sticky
substance forms near the roots and
flakes of white on leaves. They
have made the blooms wilt and
die. I have read so many articles
in your fine column concerning
violets, which I let slip by me, as
then I was uninterested, but now
I want help so badly that I am
writing you to try and find some
one who can tell me what to do to
save my plants before too late.

Let me tell you about the Mel
wood MinuteWomen. 1t is group
of volunteers being organized for
varied public services and spon-
sored by the Woman's Club OF
MelWood District. In spite OF
limited personnel and funds, the
Social Service League, Employ
ment Service, Vocational Rehab-
ilitation Bureau, Catholic Char
tiles, Mental Health Clinic and
Welfare Board of Prince Georges
County are doing a magnificent
lob of providing old-age assistance,
aid to dependent children, needy
blind, needy unemployables and
integrating the various services
encouraging individuals toward in
dependence.
Our so club members are trying
to share and get our friends to
share with the less fortunate. We
would be delighted to hear from
ladies who would mend used
clothing and drivers s(complete
with cars) who could help furnish
transportation to hospitals, clinics
and the rehabilitation center.
Needless to say, no volunteer
would be asked to drive infectious
or mental cases)
Further information will be
gladly given by Mrs. Roderick
Dunlap, Upper Marlboro, Md, or

GREENSBORO, N. c.?
(Fron1 Mrs. w. NJ. H. Alexandria, }
I would like some information
about Greensboro, N. c. Is 1t a
pleasant place to live? How are
schools? Is there housing
shortage? Is food high? Would
it cost us more or less to live
there than it does to live in OF
near Washington? Are taxes
high? For comparison, we paid
$187 real estate tax on modest
Groom brick in Bethesda. We
consider that high0 I would ap-
preciate hearing any discussion

(From Mrs. J. M. NJ,
Falls Church,
Would you please convey my
thanks to Mrs. H. B. M. Front
Royal, who answered my question
on hooked rugs. I appreciate her
help very much.
I wrote in my first letter to
RICH recently. I have been a
reader of the column for several
years and have always enjoyed it.
But now that I've requested assis-
tance through RICH and have re-
ceived it too, I can't express how
wonderful I consider this service.
The efforts of the people who
make RICH possible do not go un-
apprecited or unrecognized.

Long -talked-of and much-delayed community projects got a working ever by Lions Club members thls noon in a session that adjourned only after discussion was tabled until the next meeting.
 Meeting for noon luncheon at the Baranof with former President Barney Anderson, now of Skagway welding the gavel, Lions spent all most an hour discussing the bog ged-down drive for an ambulance for Juneau and the heating of the Evergreen swimming pool.

DOUGLAS VETERAN
 KILLS FIRST WOLF
 SEEN ON ELAND

By Henry, I was so mad l Just fired and fired!'
 John w. Bergquist speaking.
 He had seen what he thought to be large dog chase a deer ofi the Douglas Island beach and pur- sue it into the water. By the tine Bergquist could get busy with his 30-40 rifle, the predatory animal was all but on top of the deer, about in mid-channel, swimming toward the Bethel Childrens home.
 The attacker turned and swan back to the beach near the north road. The animal was still alive when Bergquist reached it, to send more bullets after the first.
 The predator was no dog, but a wolf-the first one on Douglas Island, in the knowledge of either Bergquist or Jack O'Connor, Fish and Wildlife Service enforcement agent.
 Hitting him at that distance was an accident said Bergquist. When I got through with him on the beach, three bullets had nic-one in the head and two in the neck.
 Bergquist took the wolf hide to the. office of Dan Ralston, FWS Lave Enforcement Supervisor, tor certitication and, when sure that he would receive the $50 bounty, turn ed and gave it to Mrs. Barbara Johnson, stenographer.
 She is having it tanned and made into a rug. Tt will be a handsome one" she commented. The year old wolf has exceptionally nice markings"
 Now Mrs. Johnson wants to find a wolf skull, for the private mus cum of an elderly collector in her home city, Vernal, Utah.
 Bergquist, veteran of World War I, says he lives by the land, on Douglas Island, and some occa- sional fishing.

NEEDS OF YOUTH

! The following ten imperative needs of youth
should be given more realistic consideration in
planning and carrying forward curriculum
practices and conditions.
/ (a) All youth need to develop salable sklls
and those understandings and gratitudes that
make the worker an intelligent and productive
participant in economic life. To this end, most
youth need supervised work experience as well

their occupations.
(b) All youth need to develop and maintain
good health and physical fitness
(c) All youth need to understand the rights
and duties of citizens of democratic society
and to be different and competent in the per-
formance of their obligations as members of
the community and citizens of the state and
nation.
| I'D All youth need to understand the signi-
Ificance of the family for the individual and So
Eciety and the conditions conductive in success
full family life.
(e) All youth need to know how to purchase
and use goods and services intelligently, un-
derstanding both the values received by the
consumer and the economic consequences of
their acts. g..
f) All youth need to understand the meth
jods of science, in influence of science on human
life and the main scientific facts concerning
the nature of the world and man..
(g) All youth need opportunities to develop
their capacities to appreciate beauty in liter
ature, art, music, and nature.
(h) All youth need to be able to use their
leisure time we'll and to budget it wisely bal
ancing activities that yield satisfactions to the
individual with those that are socially useful

other persons, to grow in their insight into
ethical values and principles, and to be able
to live and work comparatively with Others
Cd All youth need to grow in their ability

clearly, and to read and listen with understand
