take in her work and the fact that
she doesn't do anything in par

This lady painter got into the
field accidentally. 10 years ago.
She papered her own home when
she moved to Washington from
Wisconsin, and neighborS were so
impressed they asked her to paper
theirs. The SCOTS met when Mr..
Scott. who has 30 years expert
ence as painter. needed q paper

referred him to. Mrs. Scott. Now

as window and door frames.

reported.
"She learned in two years what
it takes some people a lifetime to-
learn" Mr.. Scott interjected. "SheI
had sense enough to remember it."
The SCOTS agree that their work
is "a tough job but an interesting
one" where you meet interesting
people.
Every job. every person, is a
little different" Mr.. Scott ex-
planned. They consider the friends
they have made through their
work q real dividend.

On one occasion, Mrs. Scott got
into a discussion Of italian spa

and the first thing she knew,
"there I was in my painters over
alls showing her how to make spa
ghetti."
On another occasion, when the
team had moved back to Wiscon-

problem for their clients. Mr..

 A series of Christ-centered messages setting forth the re- deeming power of Christ's suffer- ing and death are being offered during the Lenten season by the Rev. Ed Imme, pastor of St. Johns.
 Says Pastor Imme,, At the foot of the cross is a clinic of the inner life where healing can be found for souls that are sick with sin, freedom for lives that are twisted by long habits of vice, peace for minds that are troubled by worry, tension, indecision and fear; and blessed assurance for hearts that are haunted by an aching awareness of guilt. We hope that many will make and take time during this season of lent to come with us to the foot of the Cross"

CONSERVATION
 NOTES

We'll the weather is beginning to feel like spring. It won't be long until land clearing time. If you intend to take advantage of the Agricultural Conservation payments program to assist you in clearing you should sign soon. The closing date is March l. You can obtain blanks or sign up at the Extension Service office only.
 The Soil Conservation Service will make prior inspection of the land to be cleared. This is for two purposes. One is to recommend that properly located windbreaks be left for erosion control. The second is to assist you in selecting good land to be cleared. We don't want you to clear land that is too shallow. We don't want to see you end up with a rock pile any more than you do.
 According to the specifications in the A. C. P. handbook, clearing must be carefully done. Appreci- able amounts of topsoil cannot be pushed into the Stumprow if the job is to qualify for payment. If you figure on getting paid, you better figure on picking roots. It's a good way to save topsoil. It's a good conservation measure. You better oil up the old back and feed the kids because there's lot of work ahead.
