GU.
We're making plans for our
style show on Achievement Day,
which is April @ at the st. Johns
Parish hall in Oak Harbor.
Have you been planning on re-
decorating that bedroom of your
daughters? A good idea for bed
spread is to use plain white mus
lin. Quilt this muslin to another
piece of muslin of size to cover
the bed. Use the sewing machine
for quilting and sew narrow blue
rick-rack at the same time when
you're quilting. Make rows about
21a inches apart going in one di-
rection, then quilt the opposite
way, resulting in squares made by
the tiny blue rickTack- Ush a
blue dust ruffle with this cover
let.
This is good receipt for mayon-
naise. Mrs. Charles Bast of Oak
Harbor has given me this recipe,
and she says she uses it for all
the salads she makes.

The FARMERS WIFE
BY GRACE LuEBKE

After looking out the window
this morning and watching the
miniature waves on the pond in
our wheat field the inevitable
result of the deluge of rain we
got last night it seems rather
silly to talk about drought and
dust storms, but according to the
experts who seem to know all
about such matters, no amount
of rainfall this spring will bring
the water level in the sub-soil up
to normal.
It sounds preposterous after
this precipitation, doesn't it?
However, they've even been urg-
ing farmers to plow alfalfa sod
early, it takes quite a bit of mois-
ture for the hay to grow, and if
it's plowed up the water can go
down in the sub-soil instead. A
lot of farmers are becoming dis
satisfied with the work that the
plow does, both i'm fitting the
soil, conserving moisture, and the
big factor, conserving soil from
wind and water erosion.
Kenneth Zunk and Donald Ap-
fer of the Zunk Tractor Sales here
at Martin have invented deep
tillage mulcher which seems to
solve lot of these problems. It
is composed of five teeth which
will so to depth of from 10 to
IL inches or even deeper the Sc
cond time over in the soil. There
are two discs in front of each
tooth which serve the purpose of
cutting trash, thus enabling the
digger to do better job. Bill
has been using it on a field of
timothy sod, it sure does a good
job of loosening the soil but yet
there is always a mulch on top.
You might think that it would be
too hard to pull, but Bill used our
Ferguson 80 and he had no trou-
BILE at all.
He plans On doing very little
blowing, he likes the work of this
implement so mucS better. They
have patent pending on their
mulcher, but now they wonder
whether or not they'll be able to
keep making them fast enough,
This implement seems to be grow
ing in favor, l imagine especially
since that Saturday a few weeks
ago when we had miniature dust
storm here in Ottawa County. The
sky was so hazy, the sun almost
obscured by the gritty particles
of dirt in the air on that very
windy day.
Our tailoring meetings are just
about over. This Last Thursday we
met at the home of Mrs. Lillian
Fisher, and Rosemary informed
us that by our next and last meet
ing Cat Mrs. Otto Sommer's home)
we should have our coats or suits
completed unless we run int,
some trouble of some kind. Qs
she kidding?) It seems that mos
all of us run into a snag at some
time during this garment construc
ton, but, as rule, everyone go
/. along fine. AT this meeting Rose
mary instructed us in the proper
procedure of putting a lining il
a jacket so that it wouldn't han,

other extreme, make the JACKIE

Premier Mario Scelba re-
luctantly accepted the resigna-

mind, the spokesman added.
Young Piccioni has bitterly

with the reported drug orgy
death of a Rome party girl. Will

CANADIAN BUSINESS
greed hit BY UNION

TORONTO (PAD Canadian
business has been too greedy in
grabbing profits since the war and
new finds increasing difficulty in
meeting foreign competition and
this has led to unemployment, Fam
an Park, legislative director of the
United Steelworkers (CIO-CCL)
has charged.
In an address to the Ryerson In
stitute School of Bakery Admins
tration, the union official stated
that Gin such primary industries
as steel production, impartial au-
thorities have established that in
dustry has taken 81 in price in
creases for every ST in direct wage
increases. Total wages and salaries
in 1851 were four times as large
as they were in 1926. Total prof.
its, however, for 1851 were more
than eight times those for 1926"
Park said that only by putting
more purchasing power into the
hands of the mass of the people,
through increased wages or better
social services, could an increase
in unemployment be avoided.
Business has never shown a long
range social motivation in the
past" said the speaker, "and |
don't expect it will do so now"
