BURTON Mr.. S. A. Stine
State Director of New Class
room Construction, announced
Friday, March 26, that the Ohio
State Department of Education
would pay the entire construc-
ton costs of three extra large
clasSrooms at the Burton school
This financial aid is due to the
realization that the local tax
payer of the Burton school dis
trict has been forced to pay
additional dollars to house tut
ton students from neighboring
townships. Consequently, t h e
Ohio State Department OF Edu-
cation feels that financial as
sistance in the current building
program would help to equal
ize the costs for the local tax
payer.
The Burton Board of Educa-
ton has been working for the
past year to interest the state
department in and secure state
participation in the schools hous-
ing problems. During the past
six months Mr.. Stine has made
two trips to the Burton school
to examine and review the sit
uation as presented by t h e
Burton Board of Education.
The cIaSsrooms, to cost a
total of $4,000, will be included
in the present addition and will
be used exclusively by t he
high school. Each room will be

Record Want Ads
Bring Record Results

In the March 25th issue
of The Geauga Record, Mrs
Edward Pavlik of MOntville
advertised cocker puppies.
Her dog had eight puppies
in the litter, and by the
end of the day the paper
reached the people, she
didn't have any puppies
left. This is an example of
the quick response you get
by advertising in The Ge-
auga Record.

Girls Basketball
Team Enters
Semi-fnab

BY defeating the Wolf Gals,
last years Women's open
League champs, in hard
gought game at st. Clair R e C
reation on Mar. 25, the Hunts
burg Golden Dawn team NOV
ed into the semifinals for the
league championship. With their
star player absent, the Wolf,
Gals lacked the spark they
showed in defeating the Char
don girls 1925 in their first
meeting, and were routed 1925
by the faSt-passing and quick
breaking alumni. Marlene Logs
don and Corinne Ziegler netted
Is and IA respectively, Edie
Wagner Gagged 8. Playing on
defense were Grace Butcher,
Janet Hofstetter, Vicki Church
field, and Audrey Grumney.
In the semi-finals, to be held
at Lincoln high, the Golden
Dawn team meets the Basket
bellies, who edged them 81 19
in their opening league game.
Should the girls take this game,
they meet the winner of the
Ladies Pandas game in the
finals on April 8. The Ladies
were undefeated this season,
while the Pandas finished 7th
in the league. Champs and
runnerS-up will receive awards
and will be invited to attend
the Muny Basketball Associa-
tons Banquet of Champions. -

For centuries women have
adored wearing silk.
The silken thread which was
first spun by the young Chinese
Empress Hsi-ling-shi more than
two thousand years Be-, was an
accident that occurred when the
Empress dropped the pesky
worm cocoons infesting her hus-
bands mulberry trees into hot
water.
When the fine shining fiber
loosened and dried she spun it
into a web and silk was on its
way to becoming centuries later
one Of the really important and
desired fabrics fancied by men
and women alike. Silk is also an
important economic factor in
the lives Of many. countries.
Fluctuations in the raw silk mar
ket are watched throughout the
world as avidly as are other vi
tai commodities.
Our fashion dictionary ex-
plains a lot Of the newer silk
terms finding their way on pages
Of newspapers and magazines.
From couture collections to the
most budget priced group of
clothes. silk is starred this
spring. In solid or printed APP
pearance, the Silken touch is
seen in everything from rain
coats to evening dresses.
We picture four costumes in
various price categories illus
trating the different types Of
textures and blends used in silk
wearing apparel on the local
scene.
