In what was perhaps the
first time in the Nations his
tory that taxpayers ever ex-
pressed their choice of an ar
chitect for a civic improve
ment at the ballot box, Mr..
Wright was favored at Tues
days election by a vote of
$3.50 to 1885.
The world-renowned archi-
tect lives near Spring Green,
about 35 miles north of here.
The question Of a Wright
designed civic center has been
talked about here since Wright
first proposed it years ago.
This year a group of citizens
supporting the plan finally got
the issue on a referendum ball
lot. :
Madison, where citizens
choose UP sides even when
minor issues are raised, has
I been talking about a municipal
auditorium for more than so
years.
Two other referendums
connected with the project
also were voted upon. Both
won by even wider margins.

finance an auditorium alone

By Betty Lsnohon

The wide selection of curtain
materials available today en-
ables the homemaker to have
beautiful windows without the
use of draperies.
These fabrics include cotton,
rayon, nylon. marquisette, or
CANDY. fiberglas. orion, f1shnet
and cotton lace. Quite simple
fabrics, such as these, used in
ample fullness and hung prop
erly will perform miracles in
window decoration.
Curtains, too, will often over
come poor architectural pro-
portions and bad locations OF
windows in wall areas. For
example, a long narrow corner
window often presents a prob
lem. This type, unless curtained
correctly, will be merely a blank
expanse of glass. But it can be
given a graceful fluid line by
using ruff1ed tiers of nylon or
other sheer fabric.
Speaking of tiers, they have
now become important in
kitchen decor. Be sure they are
not used at windows adjacent
to stoves. At other windows they
will add a soft note to strictly
utilitarian working space, and
they can be adjusted to allow
light and air, or for greater pri-
yacy.
Cafe curtains of fiShnet or
cotton lace are especially flex-
ible and afford excellent control
of ventilation and sunlight.
Used on a bay window with a
view they give an air Of fresh
ness and charm.
Other ways of enhancing win
dows with curtain fabrics are
permitting ruff1ed tiebacks to
hang loose like tailored panels
or hanging them on traverse
rods to pull open during the
day and closed at night. Pretty
and unusual clips and orna-
ments can be found to use as
tie-backS or to attach the cor
ners of a solid color or sheer
fabric SWag on tailored curtains.
Another distinctive and un-
usual note can be achieved by
the hanging of two different
fabrics on the same window
hang sheers over dotted cotton
marquiSette or use a sheer dotted
cotton sway with tailored nylon
marquisette curtains. The posi-
bilities of the last idea are limit
less and stimulating.
Questions and Asnwers.
Question-My living room and
dining room are separated by a
large arch. The ceilings and
woodwork are painted white and
the furniture in both rooms is
maple. I would like to get green
tweed rugs for the rooms, do you
think it would be a good choice?
If so, what colors should I choose |
for the wallpaper, draperies and
upholstery?
AnSwer-Green rugs would be |
an excellent choice for your liv-
ing rom and dining room. With
the maple furniture a toile de
Jouy wallpaper with the design
in red on a cream background
would be nice. Get the draperies
in green and the upholstered
pieces in red, green, black and
beige.
Question: am having lot of
trouble trying to make my bed
room look right and need some
help The room is large with
corner windows facing east and |
south and a large window in the |
middle of the north wall. The |
west wall is taken up with closets
and the entrance door. The walls |
and woodwork are a silver gray |
and the ceiling is pink, which I
like, but there the liking stops. |

right. Should I paint or refinish
it another color? I would like to
paper the long south wall. What
colorS should I select for the
wallpaper, draperies and bed
spreads?
Answer-The trouble with your
bedroom is that you need more
color in it. A wallpaper on the
long north wall with a pattern in
maroon, silver and turquoise on a
pink background will remedy
this. Get turquoise draperies,
maroon bedspeads and leave the

We would like to paint the walls
dark green. However, we are un-

Uncle Asks Farmers
To Play 100 Questions

by letter from Director Robert
w. Burgess of the Bureau of the
Census. This letter requests
each individual farm operator to
fill in the answers and have the
completed QUESTIONABLE ready
for the census enumerator when
he calls at the farm few days
later. The enumeration will assist
the farmer in filling out the form,
if he requires assistance.
The census QUESTIONABLE is de-
signed to collect information
about the number and size of
farms, tenure, acreage of land in
various uses, crops harvested,
livestock inventory and produc-
ton, expenditures for selected
items Qabor hire, machine hire,
feed, fertilizers and lime, gaso-
line and other petroleum fuels
and oiD, inventory of selected
facilities and equipment (tele-
visions, food freezer, piped run
ming water, tractor, harvesting
machines, automobile, truck,
etc., irrigation, conservation
practices, farm value, mortgage
debt, and cash rent. Regional
variations of the questionable
will be used so that inquiries
about crops, for instance, will be
limited in each area to the crops
common in that area. On an
average, each farmer will be
asked about 100 questions, many
of which can be answered by
checking Eyes" and mo-.
Here's why the Department
thinks farmers should be glad to
help:
"The Census of Agriculture is
taken at Swear intervals to pro-
vide reliable and up-to-date sta

UN Turns a Trick
On Trick Treat Night

A new trick has been added
to trick-or-treat night this Hal
loWeen.
Instead of dragging burlap
bags to neighbors' doorsteps to
exact the annual jelly-bean
tribute, many area moppets
will ring doorbells on the night
of Friday, Oct. 80 in behalf of
the UN's International Chill
dren's Emergency Fund.
Gnomes engaged in this type
of un-selfish collection may be
distinguished by armbands and
milk boxes with the, UNICEF
emblem. Jelly beans and marsh.
mallows are not for these elves
nothing but coins, please.
The UN says that last Hal
loween it raised $4,000 this
way-enough to supply 5000
children free milk for a year.
The children of Ashton, Ednor,
Sandy Spring, Colesville and
Cloverly will celebrate trick.or-
treat for the UN this year and
other communities may have
similar plans.

areas in laying out campaigns de-
signed to reach potential GUS
toners.
Bankers and other financial
services employ agricultural cen
sus statistics in evaluating condi-
tons and factors which govern
their decisions on farm credit
for the areas they serve.
Farmers themselves apply
census data to their problems,
although these data usually come
to them indirectly through many
different channels of informa-
ton. Statistics published in
farm periodicals, in reports of
marketing services, in radio farm
information programs, and in
other media that influence the
farmer in making important de-
cisions are taken either direct
from census reports or are based
on them.
I 'The Information supplied by
each farmer is treated as conf
Dental by the Census Bureau and
assurance is given that the infor-
nation will be published only in
statistical totals for each county
so that operations of an indi-
Vidual farm are not revealed.
The Census Law requires the
farmers to supply the informa-
ton officially requested by the
Census Bureau but also provides
that this information cannot be
used for taxation, regulation or
! investigation.

Montgomery County farmers,

farmers throughout the nation,
will soon get a. QUESTIONABLE
from the Department of Com
merce that requires 100 answers.
Fortunately, m any can be
answered by checking Eyes" and
mo-.
The QUESTIONABLE is being
mailed out by the Bureau of the
Census, Department of Com
merce, in the 1854 census of agri-
culture which is now under way.
This census is the 18th in the
series of nationwide farm can
vases since the first farm census
in 1910, says the Department.
In other words, don't blame it
on the Republican bureaucrats in
Washington both the COP
and the Democrats have been
bothering farmers this way for
nearly 100 years.
In most States, copies of the
census questionable are being
mailed to farm operators in adj
vance of the enumeration which
began early in October and will
continue into December. The
starting date for the census has
been set for the close of the nor.
NAL crop harvesting season in
each area. Questionnaires to be
used in different areas have been
designed to cover the crops
commonly produced in these
areas, while a number of queS.
lions common to all farms will
be included in each variation of
the QUESTIONABLE. In seven
Southern States where the share.
cropper system is followed, the
missionaries will be delivered
in person by the enumerators to
assure the consolidation of re-
ports for multiple-unit farms.
The mail questionable used in
most of the States is accompanied
