First Alumni
Banquet at
Sherwood Set

The first banquet of the re-
Gently organized Sherwood High
School Alumni will be held Sat
urday, June 10 at the Sherwood
Cafeteria at $50 pm.
The Sherwood Alumni Associa-
ton was organized last June at
similar banquet sponsored by
the Sherwood Student Council 4
The June 10 Banquet will be the
first time the organized Alumni
of Sherwood have had an oppor-
tunity to meet together as unit.
1t will probably be the last time
many of them will have an op-
portunity to visit the Old Sher.
wood School, for the building has
been condemned as a fire hazard
and is scheduled to be torn down.
The Sherwood High school
dates from 1908 when the Coun-
ty Board of Education acquired
the Friends Sherwood Academy
and operated it as a free school
instead of as a pay boarding
school. The class of 1908 consist
ed of two members, Ruth Shoe
maker, number one on a list of
813 graduates, and Dorothy Weth-
erald. Ruth Shoemaker is now
Mrs. Raymond Ravens of Ashton.
Miss Wetherald lives at Sandy
Spring. The Class of 1908 will be
given a place of honor at the
banquet table.
Dave Brigham, president of the
Class of 1884, will act as toast
master and former principals of
the school have been invited to
report on Sherwood during their
administration. Following tlam
banquet of turkey and all tie
trimmin'S, each class will be
given an opportunity to meet to-
gether as a unit to renew old
friendships and to select a class
representative to the Alumni Ex-
ecutive Council.
In addition to the program,
awards will be given as follows:
to the oldest Sherwood Graduate
present; to the graduate travel
ling the greatest distance to at
tend the banquet; to the graduate
reporting the most children; and
to the family with the most grad
yates from Sherwood.

FARM FACTS By Jonathan Blade
Keeping chicks comfortable pays off

If you notice excellent feathering
in chicks brooded under electric
hoverS, it means they need less heat
in the brooder room. Another dan
ger sign is brittle or broken feathers.
Watch Your Chicks
Proper ventilation is vital, too,
since it allows some cool areas in
the room and helps in the harden
ing-off process.
If you watch the action of the
chicks, they'll soon tell you whether
they're comfortable. When they're
driven to the walls, it's usually be-
cause they're too warm. And if they
stand in clumps near the stove, they
may be too cold.
Such factors, plus efficiency and
your own convenience when tending
your chickens, are prime considera-
tons in bringing your poultry house
up to date. Another is the use of
insulation board. Effectively used,
it not only gives comfort conditions
necessary for healthy and produc-
tive poultry; it also makes possible
remodeling and insulating at the
same time. Insulation board is easy
to handle, saw, cut and nail; it
comes in large panels ready for nail
ing to existing studs or the under
sides of rafters.

June Dairy Month Contest
Launched by Farm Bureau

Farm Bureau officials this
week launched a Statewide dairy
promotion program to boost June
Dairy Month. 1t will continue
through September.
Four national prizes will be
awarded by the American Farm
Bureau Federation to the fam
lilies which put forth the most
effective efforts to stimulate
dairy sales."
All Maryland Farm Bureau
families are eligible to enter the
contest.
Wilson A. Heaps, president of
the Maryland Farm Bureau list
ed 10 suggestions:
1. Encourage restaurants,
stores, and all outlets to put spe-
cial emphasis on dairy sales.
2. Increase consumption of
dairy products in Farm Bureau
families.
3. Publicize the palatibility and
nutritional value of dairy pro-
ducts through newspapers, maya
zines, radio and television.
4. Promote dairy product use
through service clubs, women's
clubs and other groups.
5. Encourage the installation
of milk dispensing machines in
schools, offices, public buildings
and other appropriate places.
6. Build consciousness of the
value of dairy products in the
schools by sponsoring public
speaking and essay contests.
z. Sponsor dairy bars or milk
booths at county and state fairs,
livestock shows and other public
events.
8. Promote the use of sign
boards and other advertising ma
terialS.
9. Publicize weight-reducing
dairy diets.
10. Encourage congressman to
support legislation which is in
the best longtime interest of
dairymen.
Heaps emphasized that 1.-THE
contest is wide open to any num-
Der of methods of stimulating
dairy sales. Originality will be
recognized"
The present dairy situation is
a serious national problem, he
explained.
Large stocks of dairy pro-
ducts are accommodating in the
hands of the Commodity Credit
Corporation, and production con-
tinues to exceed effective de-
mand."
'"The best solution to this pro-
blem is to increase the consump-
ton of American dairy products,
both at home and abroad. With
this in mind, Farm Bureau is
backing a nationwide campaign
to increase sales of milk and
dairy products"

and more profitable chickens. In
a comfortable brooder house, for
instance, chicks grow and develop
more rapidly than those in poor
quarters.
Comfort is mainly matter of
temperature. Many chicks are
ruined or weakened by too much
heat, which is as bad as too little.

You may be wasting a lot of hard
work simply because your poultry
house is poorly planned and built,
according to Pennsylvania State
College authorities.
Not only that, but a remodeling
job can result in more comfortable

widely. Some of the reasons for
this difference are as follows:
High.grade coats and suits are
made from fabrics that press and
tailor well, and the fabric is
shrunk and inspected for flaws
in color and weave. In contrast,
the most cheaply produced gar
ments are made from cloth just
as it comes with little or no re-
gard to flaws and shrinkage.
For cheap production clothing
manufacturers trim down pattern
pieces to take as little cloth as
possible. Because many layers are
cut at one time, some pieces may
be cut off grain. Garments with
these pieces may later twist or
sag.
Buttonholes, Innings, seams, col
lars and lapels are among the
features that indicate good or
poor quality. Buttonholes not cut
with the grain or poorly cut, for
example, are likely to stretch in
wearing and hang open.

The U. S. Department of Agri-

gives helpful facts on buying

Mrs. Catherine Rhoads, home |

Salespeople and labels can be
a big help when it comes to buy
ing suit or coat. But the more
you know about construction and
fabrics, the better chance you
have of getting a good buy for
the price you pay.
The booklet can help you plan
your purchase so that you'll know
whether a suit or coat that catch
es your fancy has qualities most
to you. 1t can also help
you judge whether the garment
has good values for its price. Fa-
brio charts and check list for
marks of quality and fit are in
cluded.

Life in the Country
EorIy Swallow Finds Diet Bit Thin;
The 40 Acres to Have Odd Gorden

Spring is official on The 40
Acres. The first barn swallow
arrived the other day and is
getting things arranged to begin
housekeeping in the old barn.
! think the swallows are a
little early this year. although
I am not sure. The one I saw
looked detected as he sat perched
on a post by the barn. He was
alone and, I suppose, couldn't
blame any one but himself for
his early departure from the
Southlands.
The swallows are insect-eating
birds. and I expect his diet is
going to be a bit skimpy for a
few days yet. What with the
cold nights, there doesn't seem
to be many insects out these
early days. ! hope he makes
out, because there is no more
beautiful bird than the graceful
swallow.
I have never found a way
to keep my interest in the veg
etable garden from fading when
the hot days of June and July
come along. So this year I have
a plan. I'm going to try and fool
myself. like the people who turn
up the clocks in order to get up
an hour earlier each day.
The plan is to divide my gar
den into squares. The rows will
be short, but there will be more

the same thing in the end.

Prepore Tomoto Bed

It is not too early to begin
preparing a bed for the toma-
toes. They need ample moisture
and plant food if they are. to
produce as they should. The
normal expectation is a peck of
fruit per plant. but if properly
handled they will produce two
or four pecks or even more. Thus
1t is important to set out fewer
plants and to give them more

Give Moles q Hord Time

Many gardeners complain OF
the mole problem. These busy in
sect eaters can plow UP a tre-
mendous area in their search
for food. Traps and repellants
will work if carefully and
thoroughly employed. However.
many gardeners are turning to
the insecticides that kill insects
in the soil BY destroying the
food the moles are forced to
move on to "fatter" feeding
areas. Chlordane is the most ef-
fective material generally avail
able. Use eight ounces per 1000
square feet of area. It may be
purchased as a S per cent or a
10 per cent dust, or l pint Of
the 45-48 per cent emulsion, a
half-pint Of the 72-75 emulsion.
or one pound of the so per cent
wettable powder to treat 1000

ger to pets or family. but If de-
sired the dust or emulsion can

but by the time supper trays
are brought around, a beautiful

Although the project will take
only one day to execute, behind
it will be months of careful
planning and hard work by over
o thousand members of the go
garden groups which make up
the National Capital Garden
Club League of the Washington
Metropolitan Area.
This is the first time a model
garden has been tried as a COM
munity project by garden
groups in this part of the
country. The idea is patterned
after soil conservation projects
which have been put on by the
Department of Agriculture with
such success in rural areas. 1t
is, in fact, a practical demon
S.ration of the designing and
planting of a whole garden COW
ering more than an acre and a

To prepare for the event. dur
ing March the National Capital
Garden Club League jointly spon-
sored with Woodward & Lothrop
department store a series of
nine lectures on such subjects as
soil preparation and mainte-
nance. landscape design and
planting for continuous bloom.
Thirty clubs are providing the
actual labor, while other groups
have assisted with money and
material. Additional assistance
will be given by nurSerymen and
merchants. Plans have been
made for formal rose garden. an
azalea garden surrounding pool
with a ramp on which the pa
tients can be wheeled; terraces,
rock gardens, a spring bulb gar
den, and paintings for both
shady and sunny spots. Ample
provision will be made for spec
tatorS who wish to come to
