Art in Schools

Members of the Crucian
Art Club, at their regular
regular meeting held last
Wednesday night, March 18th
discussed ways and means
Of how art could be brought
to the young in our schools.
After some discussion a conn
mittee, headed by Ed Presby
was appointed to study this
matter and report back at the
next meeting on March 81.
Mrs. Att Henle, chairman
Of the exhibiting committee
showed some water colors by
Jim Juill "a visitor who is
building a house here for fu-
ture retirement, and suggest
ed he be given a one-man
show for two weeks. This sug
%gestion was unanimously APP
proved. It was also decided by
members that in future there
would be alternating shows of
painting and craftWork, two
weeks duration for each. This,
is was felt, would give empha-
sis to the paintings or craft
work shown, rather than have
them mixed in one show.
The Sunday class meets
each week at 10 o'clock at the
Comanehe. Members take
their own materials but In;
structions are furnished, if de-
sired.
The activity for last Wednes
day was soap sculpture which
attracted 10 people, several of
whom became members. All
had fun and quite a few cred
table pieces were turned out.

u. S. Inspection
Means Safe Meat

"U. S. inspected and passed"
means safe meat for homemakers,
says L. E. Kunkle, meats specialist
at Ohio State University. That
stamp on meat shows that federal
meat inspector or a local board
of health inspected it and found it
safe for eating.
Meat inspection programs have
four functions. They enforce sani-
tary dressing and handling of
meat. They prevent addition of
harmful ingredients. They prevent
false or misleading labelling. They
eliminate unfit parts from whole
some meat and meat products.
Kunkle says meat inspection
protects consumers. 1t implies OBJ
servation by a third person who
will neither buy nor sell the pro-
duct.
Federal inspectors use a round
stamp, and local boards of health
use oblong stamps. Both stamps
carry a packing house number and
the inspectors identification as
we'll as an abbreviation for the
phrase inspected and passed"
Homemakers may not get a
complete stamp mark on small
cuts of meat. Each wholesale cut
is slammed

AROUND
OHIO
By George L. Zeis

This younger generation is mis-
sing something by not having lived
25 years earlier.
Now, I don't mean to say that
the wheels of progress should be
stopped. Far from it. But ! do
feel it would be one of the best
educations they could ever have
even if it would be possible just
for a few years.
Let me explain.
One cold morning recently took
our boy, Mark, to school. Nothing
wrong in that. But it started me
thinking back over the years when
was in the first grade.
Things were different then. I
went to a one room country
school house in Seneca County.
Our offspring goes to modern
city school here in Columbus.
AS I look back, wouldn't trade
places with him at all. Can't say as
1 appreciated hoofing it across a
16 acre field to go to school,
Neither would 1 care to go through
it again. But this can be said. 1t
was darn good experience.
On the extremely cold days
most of us would carry our lunch.
That in itself was quite an exper-
fence.
Although ours was one room
country school house it was bit
more modern than most others
around. It had a basement, and in
this basement was a furnace.
But the furnace had a habit oc-
casionally of not working just
right.
If there happened to be strong
wind from the west, the smoke
didn't go out the chimney. It came
up heat pipes instead. No school
on such days.
The first teacher ever had was
a woman by the name of Mrs
