had received a card from his
cousins indicating that they plan

The curve is just south of the

Board Provides
Sl64 ,633 to Run
Schools for Year
Athletic Department
Authorized to Build
Football Field House

Appropriations amounting to
S164,635, including $4,000 for
bond retirement and interest,
have been approved by the Ma
rysville Board of Education to
operate the schools here during
1850.
The action was taken during
the Boards regular monthly
meeting, Thursday night. At the
same time, the Board also re-
organized for this year and ap-
proved financial aid for con-
struction of a field house at the
Memorial Athletic field.
Principal item on the budget
is $4,000 for salaries of teach
ers during the year.
Other Expenses
For personal services (salaries
of Board members, superintend-
ent, superintendents secretary,
and school enumeratiom, $7l50.
Attendance officer, $3.50.
Veterans agricultural training
program, $4,000. (The local school
is reimbursed by the Veterans
Administration for this.)
Janitors, $4,000.
Supplies, S23,675. Including
textbooks, $500; fuel $4,000;
school lunch program, $4,000;
library books, $675; laboratory
equipment and other educational
$25OO; gas, $3.50; and
janitor's supplies, $1,000

tricity, S1800; telephones, 5000;
pupil hauling, $65OO; and mis-

emergencies, $1,000.
Anticipated income for the
school will be approximately
$4,000 less than the total budget,
according to L. C. Brubaker,
clerk of the Board. This is due,
Mr.. Brubaker said, to the fact
that the amount of money al
lowed the local schools for bond
retirement has been cut, and the
schools will have to dig into their
reserve for this purpose. =
Authorize Field House
The Athletic Department was
authorized by the Board of Edu-
cation to proceed with plans to
construct a field house at the
football field, the board will pro-
vide $4,000 toward construction
of the building, cost of which is
estimated at $4,000. Another $1,000
will be paid out of football funds,
while the athletic department
will have to go into debt for the
balance, Mr.. Brubaker said.
DR.. ]. T. Dutro was elected
president of the Board for the
coming year, with D, Carl Spain,
vice president. Mr.. Brubaker was
reelected clerk for another two
year term. Other members of the
Board are Frank Rupprecht and
H. P. Martin.
A report on an inspection of
the three school buildings by the
State Fire Marshall's office was
reviewed. With minor excep-
tions, the report was termed
satisfactory. The Board plans
to buy additional fire extinguish-
ers for the halls, which will make
the schools comply in every re-
spect.
Start of long-range program
to improve and modernize the
toilet facilities in the East and
West grade buildings was also
made by the Board. The toilets
in both buildings are old and
badly in need of replacing.

A child who is mentally and
physically fit for normal life in
school and at home should be will
ing and able to follow any ordi-
nary schedule of work. play and
rest. Most of. them do. but now
and again one comes along who
shuns duty, works when he pleases,
shirks when he feels like it and
refuses to acknowledge the neces-
sity for getting down to work and
accomplishing something worth
while.
When that happens, the school
and the home people have to clamp
their jaws and say. You must"
and mean it. The child is usually
bright and quick. Having sue
ceeded in evading necessity for
some time, he will try to keep on
doing so. He will smile and shrug
his shoulders and go his way
unless he is given to understand
that the teacher and his parents
mean business.
When such a pupil hands in a
paper with nothing on it but
maybe his name and the class des-
ignation, the teacher can and
should say, This afternoon you
will stay here with me until you
complete your assignment" That
means deprivation for the teacher,

HUSH PUPPIES.

(From Mrs. r. E. B.. Washington
To Mrs. B. j. M, Cheverly: In
reply to your question regarding
hush puppies, I am very happy to
send you the following recipe, in
Guiding an interesting little story
about them, both of which may be
found in the Regional Cook Book.
Tallahassee puppies Cor thin
corn pones fried in deep fat)
embodied in the title of this recipe
is most interesting story. Years
ago the Negroes of Tallahassee.
Fla, that quaint Southern capital
(the custom spread to other sec
tions) would congregate on warm
fall evenings for cane grindings.
Some of them fed the sugar cane
to a one-mule treadmill while
others poured the juice into a
large kettle where it was boiled to
sugar. After their work was COM
pleted they gathered around an
open fire, over which was suspend
ed an iron pot in which fish and
corn pones were cooked in fat.
The Negroes were said to have
certain way of making these
corn pones which were unusually
delicious and appetizing. While
the food was sizzling in the pot,
the darkies would engage in weird
conversations, spellbindihg each
other with tall stories of panther
and bear hunts. On the outer
edge of the circle of light reflected
by the fire sat their hounds, ears
pricked for strange sounds and
their noses raised to catch a Whit
of the savory odor of frying fish
and pones. If the talking ceased
for moment, a low whine of
hunger from the dogs would at
tract the attention of the men and
subconsciously hand reached for
some of the corn pone which had
been placed on a slab or bark to
cool. The donor would break off
a piece of the pone and toss it
to a hungry dog, with the alb
stracted murmer,. Hush puppy"
The effect of this gesture on
the hounds was always instanta-
neous and the Negroes attributed
the result to the remarkable flavor
OF what eventually became known
as "The Tallahassee Hush Puppy
Today no fish fry is complete
without hush puppies and they
are always served at fish camps"
along river banks of the south
eastern seaboard.

Time out for q drink of water!
The fiend again: "You knew SO

Eyes, we grew up together, and

RE-DoING BOYS ROOM
fFrom Mrs. E. A. A., CheUerly.

from Mrs. E. A. A., CheDerly.J
To Mrs. S. S. H. who wants
ideas as to re-doing her little boys
room: am in the process of re-
decorating my boys room and
thought she might be interested in
my scheme. First of all, the chill
~ren's bedroom furniture was var
alshed dark mahogany and wal
nut f1nish-the pieces are not all
matched, but of various quality
and shades. I started by giving
everything a basic coat of fiat
white paint. The colors I picked
to paint the furniture are ivory
which is almost pale yellow
and bright vermillion-red. The
bunkbeds will be plain ivory. One
chest of drawers is painted the
ivory and the drawers are dec
GRATED in Peter Hunt style, with
the children's names and hearts
and flowers in bright reds, blues,
green's and yellow. The other
chest was painted the red color.
It, too, got the hand painted treat
ment, only the colors used were SO
that they would show up-mostly
white and yellow, with a little
green and blue.
The result was two very attrac-
tive gay chests. Another twin
sized bed (this is an enormous
bedroom) with paneled head and
foot is being painted ivory and
will be decorated in the same
style as the chest, perhaps bear
ing the name of the child who is
to sleep there. The bunkbeads
and the regular bed will get skirts
of ruff1ed blue and white checked
Bingham which I plan to make.
The material will stretch over
the springs and the mattresses.
The spreads will be of unbleached
muslin, which will tuck under the
mattresses. when the bed is made.
Curtains at the windows will be
Va O4uC <ll1t1 W1l1UC
checked gingham-just a ruf1e
across the top. This is sufficient
and attractive with venetian
blinds. but if you don't happen to
have blinds, perhaps another
simple style of curtain would ap-
peal to you more.
Since we have a large family of
children (seven in alb and I have
lots of washing and ironing to do.
I want to keep things as simple
and yet as neat and attractive as
possible. I have searched dill
gently for an idea for the boys
room, and have come to the con-
clusion that this is the simplest
idea, and the finished product
should be very attractive. Also.
the cost is very low. Hope this
has given you some ideas. If
you have only one little boy, it
shouldn't be quite so much work
for you.
