YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
native Vermonter to know the
best syrup money can buy il.
just one taste will tell you that
HIGHLAND Syrup is the aristo-
crat of 'em all. That's because
this famous product of st. Johns
bury, vt. (maple center of the
world) just can't be matched"
for true maple goodness! Never
thin or watery, HIGHLAND
Syrup IL heavier-bodied,. richer
in sugar and maple sugar solids
-. which Is why it's my favorite
"flavor-upper" for grapefruit, hot
and cold cereals, ham and sweet
potatoes as well as those ira
ditional standbys, waff1es, pan
cakes and fritters! You'll love
the handsome glass jug con-
tainer, too ). SO do try it soon!

Mrs. Jefferies, who is an aunt
of the widely-known pianist Mar
garet Bonds, came to Chicago at
the age Of eight from New York
City. After graduating from Hyde
Park High school, the then Vic
toria Bonds matriculated at the
very new University Of Chicago.
At the ripe age of Is she went
down to the Brinkley, Ark, for
her first teaching job. In the next
several years she taught in the
elementary school in Galveston,
Texas and the now defunct Quad
dalupe college, also located in the
state.
A member of Bethesda Bap-
fist church here and several civic
clubs, Mrs. Jefferies admits that

going back to what you have done
for so long.
Mrs. Jefferies leaves behind her
an outstanding record Of teaching
the sixth and seventh grades at
Skinner school. She received her
permanent assignment in 1915 by
taking a written examination. As
as prerequisite the would-be
teacher had to have substituted in
80 Chicago schools, aside from
holding a college degree.
At the West side school she
was the only Negro onthe faculty
and one Of the few who entered
the building. Today there is a
large influx Of Negro pupils at
the school which boasts of over
AZ nationalities. The schoolmarm
laughlingly relates:

CHICAGO CAMP Every
teacher passes through a phase
when she thinks it will be pretty
close to heaven to retire from the
classroom but W h e n the time ar
rives she feels like a mother who
has sent all her children away to
college, says Mrs. Victoria Bond
Jefferies of this city, who retired
in January from the historical
Skinner school on Chicago's West
side where she had taught IS
years.
Honored with a banquet at the
Morrison hotel by the schools
staff on the eve of her retirement
jolly, attractive Mrs. Jefferies who
appears 20 year younger than her
IS, related the event itself was
like a graduation with flowers,
gifts, cards, etc., but still there
was something missing - the chill
dren she had taught, watched grow
up, and had seer marry and have
children of their own. She esti-
mates she has taught nearly 5000
children during her 70 semesters
at Skinner and only found it
necessary to send one to the prin-
cipal.
Now after being on retirement
a month, the veteran teacher is
planning for some voluntary work
in a nearby community center so
that she can keep in touch with
children and perhaps help in some

The Fon says the council was
meddling when it sent a four-man
mission to West Africa to, investi-
gate his polygamous set-up. The
African chief, who claims to be
100 years old, is reported to have
10 wives.
In July, 1948, the council is
sued a condemnation Of polygam-
Gus arrangements and ordered an

man crew did just that, but their
report advised the UN to more or
less mind their own business" as
such marriages are an economic
necessity in that part of the
world.

him by fathers or entered his
