Blaine 4-H Clubs
To Fete Canadians

BLAINE COUNTY All Clubs will
be hosts to more than $50 Junior
Agricultural Club members fir O m
Canada at youth exchange festival
in Harlem, June Is.
This idea of club members joining
hands across the border for a day
of fellowship began back in 1948
with Miss Helene Lewis of the Uni
versity of Saskatchewan. At that
time club from Turner was asked
over the border for a days fun at
Eastend. The invitation list was
later expanded to include all Blaine
County clubs, and last year some 200
Blaine County members made the
trip.
This year, as before, a field day of
fun is planned, beginning with reg
istration, noon lunch, programs both
afternoon and evening and an eve
ming banquet. The Harlem Lions
Club will be helping with the food
and the All Builders will have
charge of the fun.

If you have a barbecue pit, there
is no end to the variations of hot
dogs, chill dogs, hamburgers, marsh
mallow hot chocolate and so on that
you may dream up. In the more ex-
pensive lunches, have each bring
some portion if the burden of the
entertaining falls on one person who
seems to be better situated for it.
Speaking of barbecue pits, if you
haven't one, how about enlisting the
gang to help build one that you may
all enjoy. That would take the sting
off of some who might not have as
much money to spend upon enter
tainment, and most any country side
will provide most of the material
needed. Most any junk pile will hold
iron rods to set in as a grill. Con-
struction of table, seats-need I go
farther?
Ever go on a scavenger hunt?
About the most fun l ever had at a
party was a scavenger hunt on horse
back. We had to bring back a suit
of underwear, a live chicken, an UNI
brella, among other silly objects, and
then had picnic under the trees.
With your brothers help you
should be able to make this boy feel
that he is a part of these things and
that he contributes his share without
drain upon his pocketbook, and at
the same time have lot of simple,
healthy, country fun for all of you.
And who enjoys country fun so much
as those who needs must live in
town, so don't slight your city or
town friends, for they will be de-
lighted with your parties, and I'll
wager they will be much the vogue
in no time.
Do you have a place to swim?
Then swimming time is almost here
and a picnic basket is most welcome
and can be. almost accidental if you
carefully plan it so.
I seem to stress food, but food
usually plays a major part of expen-
siye dates-food or drink. Food
bought and prepared at home is
much less expensive than that
bought prepared elsewhere. Even
cokes or pop is that All this careful
planning on your part for the less
expensive entertainment should

The Boy Feels He
Cam't afford Dates

Dear Dora:
There is boy at school thot | like
very much. He is friend of my brother.
so know that he likes me also, but he
never asks me for dates. 1t is because
he does not feel that he hos money
enough to spend as some of the boys
do, SO he just is too proud TO ask me or
any other girl on q less expensive date.
I con 90 with other boys that can spend
lots of money but I'd SO much rother
90 Just look at the scenery" with this
one Dora how in the world would
girl get such thing through boys head
without being forward about it?
Sincerely puzzled.
ROSE MARIE.
Dear Rose Marie:
You are dealing with very deli
cate subject when you come up
against pride. 1t calls Tor great
deal of tact but with your brothers
cooperation it should be possible.
The problem of inexpensive dates is
bothering not only teenagers these
days but much older and better
established persons as well.
There are number of parties that
you might be able to arrange, and
once such things are started they
could easily become popular with
your crowd. And by crowd you may
mean any number from two couples
up to as many as are available or
could be accommodated, and the be-
ginning should probably seem as i'm
promptu and off-hand as possible.
You might ask several over to
your home for record party if you
have record player or can acquire
one, asking them to bring their ia
vorite records. If you have a place
in your home to dance, that is good,
but just to compare and listen to rec
ords, new, and old, may prove inter-
esting. If you serve refreshments,
be sure that they are simple and in
expensive. Popcorn and cokes or
lemonade.
An old fashioned candy pull Oil
bet your mother still knows how to
make taffy) solves the problem of
activity and something to eat. 1t is
definitely informal and takes little
preparation or equipment.

 In more recent years, however, historians have come to the conclusion that the they study the man the greater he actually emerges Had the country not possessed Washington it is highly doubtful if the Revolution would have succeeded, and thus the in dependence of the United States today might not have been.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

It is unusually appropriate to observe the birth day of the first President of the United States at time when the nation also has military hero in the White House. Washington, of course won his first international fame as the commanding general of re- being American soldiers. He Was happily, not only great general but great President and serves as proof that military do not always prove misplaced in the White House.
 Washington quit school after his fathers death, at the age of sixteen and his education not long in books but adequate in forestry sports and the ways of gentlemen After three years of surveying, Wash ngtOn went to the Bahama Islands, with his brother, Lawrence, who sought recuperation from an illness
 Lawrence gave George his place in the Virginia Militia and shortly after this the Governor of Virginia selected him for a dangerous journey through the forests the purpose being to the French to depart from the area and not trespass England's claims
 When armed revolt broke out in New England, New England leaders agreed that selection of South erner would unite the colonies and Washington was agreed upon He aligned the Middle and Southern States with the New England States and carried them to victory in long and bitter struggle against England AS every American knows, his army often in des perate condition without food money and the suc- of his great effort many times in serious doubt

Fights fSblesswdy
Through Old City

Alexandria Mayor Marshall j.
Beverley today pledged a fight
to the end" against the proposed
new highway plan for Northern
Virginia which would place an
expressway through the heart
Of the old city's historic section.
The suggested Potomac River
expresSWay would run parallel
to Mount Vernon boulevard
through Alexandria. Elevated
portions would pass over many
of Alexandria's handsome Co
lonial homes, and one raised Sec
ton might even cut off a corner
of City Hall.
The prospect Of an expressway
through historic Alexandria
might even change Mayor Bev-
erley's mind about the wisdom
of constructing a Jones Point
bridge. Currently the Mayor
and the rest of the City Council
are on record in support of a
Jones Point bridge.
