The little bride who can't boil
water will never claim the Bur-
dick Vocational High School as her
alma mater. For every senior in
this all-girl school at Thirteenth
and Allison streets NV. is re-
uuired to take the Brides. Course,
q comprehensive year-long study
in homemaking.
~"We've put the emphasis on
running a home economically but
tastefully," Mrs. Mary Resh. prin-
cipal. explained. Maple furniture
and other Inexpensive but attrac-
tive decorations have been used
in the three-room apartment in
the school that serves as labora-
tory for the students.
Short cuts are stressed. too. IN
recognition of the fact that so
many of today's homemakers hold
down 9-to-5 jobs in the business
world as well.
The apartment was included
when the Burdick was built about
12 wears ago, Mrs. Resh explained,
but the course was expanded to
its present scope at the begin
ming of World War II, when it was
decided that the many girls leav-
ing school to be married were
irodeouately prepared to be
homemakers.
SO the homemaking course was
set up-and unenthusiastically re-
ceived.
Some Of the girls objected on
the ground that they already
knew how to keep house, since
their mothers worked and they
had quite a bit Of responsibility
at home.
They would learn the scienti-
fic way here. they were told.
They would learn helpful short
cuts. But the students remained
unenthused.
Then some one had stroke
es genius. They changed the
name to the Brides Course, and
fits popularity has been estab-
kshed ever since.
In q survey conducted by the
school last year, graduates were
asked to list the course most help
full to them. The one which pre-
nared them to make a living was
listed first. And the Brides Course,
once the ugly duckling. came in
second.
The attractiveness of the apart
ment testifles to the effective
ness of the course. The living
room is tastefully papered in a
soft pink, widely striped paper.
Following good decorating prin-
ciple, the paper was applied with
the stripes running horizontally,
to bring the very high, school
room ceiling lower. Smart rust
rayon taffeta curtains-which the
girls made from material costing
50 cents a yard-hang at the win
dows. They are hand hemmed,
eliminating the need for a sewing
machine.
The furniture in the room is
rearranged regularly-each class
fiyes it. in true homemaker tradi-
ticn, according to its own tastes,
TIE g;r,s are well schooled, too,
In arranging green's and acces-
sories to add O final. charming
touch to the room.
A soft green was chosen to dec
crate the bedroom. A pink and
green Colonial print paper covers
the walls in the dining room, and
draperies there are used thanking
and between the otherwise strict
" utilitarian school windows,
making a unified whole of the
window-wall.

the show was closed to Britishers

WINTER Resorts Study
Artificial Snow Use
To Spur Ski Business
BY the Assoeiatsd Pres,

OSSIPEE. N. H., Nov. o.
Friends of New Hampshire winter
resort owners are thinking Of
making snow to bring back a $40
million annual ski business.
The business was slashed in half
the last three years for lack Of
snow.
These friends, who sympathize
with the resort owners, hope to
produce snow by seeding clouds to
recapture the golden flow of skiers'
dollars.
There are obstacles to overcome,
however. The House of Repre-
sentatives defeated a Senate-ap-
proved bill which would have per-
mitted experimentation in weather
control.
| House members pointed out
that the snowmakers possibly
would be liable for damage aris-
ing from interference with natural
weather. Suits have been brought
in other States in which snow and
rain-making were permitted.
| But Walter G. White, chairman
of New Hampshire's water re-
sources board, and Perley Fits,
State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, are determined. They're
stumping the State in behalf of
resort owners.
This is an educational pro-
gram" Mr.. White said. 1--WE must
demonstrate snow-making to the
public on a small scale. to pre-
pare their minds for this new
idea"
By talking to public assemblies
they hope to SNOWFALL the idea
into reality-and give New Hamp-
shire. White Christmas despite
any of natures plans for the
IYuletide season.
The Christmas season is one Of
the most lucrative for New Hamp-
shire winter resort owners.
Under Mr.. Whites plan, resort
owners and the public would chip
in the money to finance the snow
making in the popular Eastern
slopes in the Franconia Notch
area and other sections.
j Four inches Of fluff, he thinks,
will be enough to bring the skiing
hordes in from the Metropolitan
areas-and that's what he hopes
to produce.

because of that struggle there
was a smattering of opposition to
the election of Mr.. Haywood as
executive vice president of the
C!O, new position set up as a re-
suit OF Mr.. Murray's desire to shed

The two men most frequently

a vice president in charge of Or

Silent on Successor.
There is no definite indication
that Mr.. Murray will step down
next year. He undoubtedly would
like to, and that has caused the
jockeying for position as his sue
cessor. He has not made known
his preference. but some feel he
leans to either Mr.. Haywood, who
like Mr.. Murray is a former coal
miner, or David j. Mcdonald,
secretary-treaSurer of the United
Steelworkers, of which Mr.. Muir
ray also is president.
Reuther supporters are power
full, too, both because of the in

Empire Immigrants
Flock Into Canada
AS Industries Boom

LONDON. Nov. 9 (Nana KEN
news Canada is having an un-
Iprecedented boom in immigration
from the United Kingdom and Eu-
rope.
Applications for passages are
being received daily by the ship
ping companies and airlines, but
there is not the space either in
ships or aircraft to meet the full
demand. The steamship lines are
mainly booked up until the spring
OF next year. and much the same
is true of the airlines.
Emigration to Canada has more
than doubled in the past IL
months, and there appears to be
no end to inquiries from intending
settlers. In August. for instance,
