A STRICTLY military prof.
IN ect, now under way at
Fort Belvoir, may pay of in
more ways than in its primary
purpose, which is to help win
the Korean war. The extra
dividend may come after the
last shot has been fired.
1t will be then that the
South Korean Army engineers,
who are here. learning how to
help defeat the Communists,
will apply their construction
knowledge to rebuilding their
country. And, according to
present indications, they prob
ably will pattern their work,
as far as possible, after the
America they have found SO
amazing.
Thus, the extra dividend
will be in the form of new
friends for the free world
in general and the United
States in particular.

stemming the invasion, it was

Many of them, prior to the
war, never had seen a big

for that matter, any of the

are concerned only with train
ing and teaching them, as an
ally. how to slug it out with
an aggressive, well-equipped
enemy. They shrug off any
discussion of postwar condi-
tions or probabilities.
But from the apparent en-
thuSiasm of the South Ko-
reanS for the American way
of life, their confidence in
ultimate victory, their happy
smiles and zest for their
studies, it is obvious that
when peace settles over the
Korean hills, the free world
can expect an extra dividend
in its investment to stop the
spread of communism.

COLOR IN THE HOME
MARCH H.D.C. THEME
Dare Home Agent Offers Sugges-
tons About Planning Col
or Schemes

"Color in the Home" was the
subject discussed at Dare County
Home Demonstration Clubs during
March. Slides showing "Recipe for
Color" were shown at all club
meetings. Samples of fabrics for
draperies, slip covers and uphol-
stery were shown by Miss Mary
Kirby, home agent.
Important suggestions for plan
ming a color scheme are:
1. Know the colors. Get a color
chart. Put it up in your home.
Learn the a. Three primary colors
red, blue, yellow. b. Three sec
ondary colors-purple, green, or
ange. c. Colors that stem from
these. d. Neutrals-black, white,
gray. Collect colors in any form
fabric, yarn, paper, etc. Classify
these coIors as to blues, green's,
yellows, etc. Look at them day af-
ter day until you are color con-
scious.
?. Choose the color that you like
best.
3. Plan your color scheme. You
can plan yours by using colors in
one of the following ways: a. Diff
ferent tones of one color. b. Two
colors opposite on the chart and a
third between them q ColorS that
are next to each other on the color
chart. 1t is important to plan our
color scheme so that one color pre-
dominates, then use a second color
for contrast and d third for accent.
A suggested proportion is 500 of
the room in the major color, 800
in the second color, and 20c6 in the
third color.
