BECAUSE OF Irene Osburn's

BECAUSE OF Irene Osburn's
quality egg demonstration, nearly
2,400 people know more about the
eggs they buy and eat. Irene, 16-
year-old member of the North Bench
All club in Stevensville, who has
had seven years of club work, was
named the 1850 quality egg demon
stration contest winner. The award
for this contest, sponsored by Har-
riette Cushman, extension poultry
specialist, was a trip to the National
All Club Congress in Chicago.
An additional 5000 egg consumers
were reached through the demon
STATIONS of Rose Marie Regi of Fer
gus county, Joan Culp of Mineral
county and Julie Case of Missoula
county, the other three blue ribbon
demonstrators in the state. Although

10 girls from eight counties entered
the contest this year, six were in
eligible to complete the contest be-
cause their demonstrations were not
in the blue ribbon class at county
elimination contests.
This contest differs from other
demonstration contests in that so
percent of the contestants score is
based on the number of individuals
who saw the demonstration and the
proportion of urban to rural groups
and adults to All groups.
Irene appeared before 80 groups
including All clubs, women's clubs,
farm organizations. service clubs and
fraternal organizations. Her largest
group was before a grandstand with
1880 people just before the after
noon show at the Ravali county fair,
Sept. 8.

1T MAY REALLY have begun that
Christmas when someone gave Uncle
Newt a current best seller and
Grandma Peabody received bottle
of fancy perfume and matching
cologne. I decided that from there
on Christmas was to begin in the
summer with me keeping note
book on the likes and dislikes of
friends and relatives.
Uncle Newt was ''Unk" to every
one and could hardly write his name,
not to mention reading book.
Grandma Peabody is everyone's
grandma, but she worries a lot about
seeing the bottom of her flour bar
rel.
Christmas began to introduce itself
along in the summer as I started to
save containers, one and two-pound
coffee cans, also half-pound ones,
pasteboard containers, round or
square, candy boxes, pretty shaped
jars and bottles, and the way they
accumulated amazed even me.
Mince Meat. Carrot Puddings
Estimating family needs during
canning season just added an extra
here and there of little things the
note book mentioned such as mince
meat and those nifty carrot buildings
make right in the can.
Well in advance of the season I
enameled many of the containers,
used gay decals to spice up their
appearance, so when the time for
packing came 7 just had to buy cord
and gay paper, stickers and cards
and few sprigs of holly.
There were the Applebys. The
note book said they dotted on chop
suey but she thought it such chore
to make a small batch. Two quart
jars of chop suey went for their gift.
You can wrap quart jars by just
setting the jar right in the middle
of the gay paper, then pulling UP
the paper and tieing a gay ribbon
around the neck of the jar, allowing
paper to ruffle above.
Our school teacher friend was {
bachelor and how he praised my
home made bread. A two-pounc
coffee can was nicely decorated ant
held a loaf of the bread which hat

and cherries-any cook book tells
you how.
Mrs. Wilton had to diet one day
each week the year round, said nay
book so to her went half-dozen
bottles of my home capped juices in
the container such as you get pop
in at the store-I decorated it to look
Christmas like by means of gay
paper.
Four small families on the list had
a weakness for fruit cake. To each
one went one-pound coffee can
filled with home made fruit cake,
and two of those cans travelled 1000
miles to their ''homes," arriving in
good condition.
The Hiltons were over fond of
my home made steamed brown
bread which baked right in medium
sized baking powder cans, then dec
GRATED with scraps of paper from
Christmas letters saved over from
the year previous. All you do is cut
and paste on the cans like crazy quilt
work. The brown bread packed this
way is a good traveller also.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilton had COM
planned that the mince meat they
bought didn't taste anything like
my home made product. For Christ
mas they got quart of my fanciest
grade. In this I always use some
cranberries, some maraschino cher
ries, candied citron and few nuts
TIC give a luxury touch.
To Grandma Peabody went a
dozen fresh eggs, a small jar of
apple jelly and a loaf of banana
bread, all packed in a neat shopping
bag which the notebook said she
needed.
Sour Cream Cookies
Uncle Newt who always tried to
founder himself on my plump old
time sour cream cookies got four
dozen packed in a gay container.
For once in his life he would have
enough of those cookies.
The note book said that Clara and
Willis had once said they believed
they'd buy a farm so they could
have cottage cheese and home made
soap the year round. To them went
a half-dozen bars of the soap slightly
scented with oil of cinnamon, and q

For Our Children

THIS MONTH the fifth White
House conference will be held. It is
Al years ago that President Theo-
dore Roosevelt called the first con-
ference to determine how our ma
TONS children lived and the care
they received. 1t was out of that
meeting that a demand for congress
sional action in behalf of children
was started.
AS a result, in 1912 congress es-
tablished the children's bureau in
the department of labor. In 1919 the
second White House conference
found some progress made but much
remaining to be done. The confer
ence of 1910 recommended better
training of doctors, nurses and other
professional workers.
The present conference will con-
slider the further needs of children
and the problems that parents in this
country face in their rearing. In
their behalf three bills will be in
troduced in the next session of con-
gress which will provide grants to
universities for research, profession
al training for doctors, nurses and
allied workers, and provide means
of disseminating the information.
Surely our children are as impor-
tant as pigs or cows or steel or cars.
A little pamphlet "How to Choose
Toys" written by DR.. Grace Lang
don, of the American Toy Institute,
should be in the hands of every
parent of children.
1t discusses the Importance of the
selection of child's toys, because
'toys are the tools of play and play
is a significant part of a child's daily
living"
Toys should fit varied play inter-
ests. Age suitability should be con-
sidered. The baby needs brightly
colored, lightweight toys. Toddlers
q to 4-want something to push
and pull and climb. While the kin.
dergartener is interested in active
physical play, he is beginning tt
have an interest in creative toys. Or
up to adolescence there is a grad
ual development in children's inter
ests and needs.
"Just as every child must hav
food to build healthy body, he ais
needs playthings which go alon
with his physical and mental de
velopment. AMY MARTIN.

STILL PLEADING FOR COOPERATION

AAoAA ~
NEVER BEFORE has there been sue han opportunity for
the fullest cooperation and coordination of efforts between
local groups and those on the mainland. During the HASTE
administration contacts were made, public appearances be-
fore public groups on the mainland were common, and the
people of America became very close to the Islands. A CON
tinuation Of that public contact is necessary for these Islands.
It is no secret that much of what Congress does is brought
about through the influence of groups upon individual mem
bers of Congress, and here is where the Virgin Islands groups
on the mainland come in. They, through and with others,
can bring to bear upon Congressman the right influence, and
in that way the Virgin Islands can secure much of that for
which they seek.
WHILE POLITICAL leaders here might realize the i'm
portance of the fullest cooperation between them and main
land groups, yet little or nothing has been done to bring
about a desired result. Everyone knows that one of the most
bitter feuds exist between these and certain organizations on
the mainland, and when these differences come up (which is
many times each year, everything else comes to a full stop.
It is during these times that the papers are full Of verbal bomb
shells, and one would think that these parties are real de
mons, to Judge from what the other side says.
NOW % than ever there is a need for understand
ing. Efforts made to put through the, name of one man for
a post does not mean that the nomination came entirely be-
cause of those efforts. There might have been the influ-
ences equally as great or greater. The reason we view with
some measure of alarm the taking Of full credit is that obi
cations arise, which if not obeyed can be turned into such
bitter differences that all good done is annulled. What we
would prefer to see is a common plane Of understanding, and
the several groups working to bring about greater results for
the Virgin Islands. There has been enough pickering to last
a century, and if the whole thing stopped right this minute,
yet what has already gone should suffice. Let us turn in the
other direction.
THERE CAN be no question that the groups in New
York can WELD a tremendous influence on a national scale.
On the other hand government and local leaders have a res

July 10th Last Day
To Pay Taxes

July 20 is the last day in which
to pay the second installment of
l949 real estate taxes without
penalty. j. H. Davis, county treas
urer, urges all taxpayers to get
their remittance to the office as
early as possible if they desire
to avoid the last few days rush.
With limited facilities and staff a
long wait cannot be prevented
when payments are held up until
the last day or two.
The treasurer calls to the at
tention of porperty owners this is
the last installment of the 1949
tax and bills must be called for in
the names in which the property
was listed on April IL, 1949. That
was the date the tax books were
made up. Tax books are made up
but once each year and hundreds
of tracts transferred since that
date are still in the names of the
previous owners, those now hold
ing the property have received no
statements. The terms of sale de-
termine who is to pay this install
ment of taxes but if they are not
paid the delinquency always fol-
lows the property, so new owners
+ advised to check their con-
tracts to see that the former own
ers pay if that was the agree
ment. This is a cause of many
misunderstanding and most de-
linouencies.

Judge Arthur d. Tudor, of Har-

evidence was not sufficient to
Justify the verdict, was received

Last Friday, Judge Tudor had

in Dover Township then owned
by the attorney.
