There are any number of cute
designs for kitchen-wrap dispen-
sers, and most Of them have one
thing in common = they don I
work. The one described here,
engineered from scratch. does its
work so well that the original
model touched on more house,
wife orders than the designer
could conveniently I'LL.
This is a one-piece dispenser
that fastens permanently to the
wall or back Of a cupboard door.
and is easily loaded or rethreaded
from the front.
1t has wedge-shaped blocks on
which the wrapping rolls revolve,
the wedge angle being just suffi-
cient to serve as a slight brake
while wrapping material Is being
torn of. without binding toe
much as a new length Of ma
terial is being pulled. down fot
tearing.
Feed From Dispenser
Rolls OF aluminium foil and
waxed paper In the standard IL
inch widths can be removed
from their original boxes and
win feed satisfactorily from the
dispenser.
Not so. however. In the case
of the transparent. clingy type

tendency to curl back on the roll
when q length is torn of. nee.

start the stuff unrolling again.
This difficulty Is overcome By
placing the plastic wrap. box anc
all. in the dispenser. which is ex.
Iactly large enough to receive the
box.

bers, following measurements
shown in the accompanying
sketch.
The wedge blocks are sawed
from l inch solid board. They
should form an angle Of 22h
degrees. which is exactly one
quarter Of a right angle. and
rather critical to proper oper-
alton of the dispenser. The wedge
blocks are fastened In with their
bottom edges square across the
side members, and with about u
inch OF the point cut away so
the wrapping material can pass.
Bottom Edge Bepeled
The bottom edge OF each of
the three cardboard face strips
should be beveled at about IS
degrees on the front to provide
clearance for the 'wrappings as
nc Is torn OH.
II these beyels are made knife
sharp, as they can be, they will
|cut waxed paper or aluminium
foil as lengths are torn. However,
nc is better to add toothed edges
to the face strips, and In the
case Of the plastic wrap this is
Ia necessity.
An outworn hacksaw blade IL
inches long makes an excellent
tearing edge. It is fastened to
the inside edge Of the face strip
with carpet tacks just long
enough to be clinched after driv-
ing through the Is-inch thick
ness Of cardboard - one tack
through each of the hacksaw
blade end holes. and the third
midway between, touching the
back Of the blade and holding 1t
nat against the cardboard.
Provides Tearing Strip
An alternative Is 10 use the
lserrated metal edges with which
some kitchen wrap boxes come
equipped. Here the whole side
lof the box containing the tear
ling strip is cut away and tackled
to the inner side Of the face
strip.
The toothed edge In either
case should project about ltl6
inch beyond the sharp bevel Of
the face strip.
Scalloped top edges on the face
strips. as sketched. are optional.

Someone pointed out that the
Christmas holiday falls within

make only nine work days, and

The biggest problem facing
most teen-agers as they grow
into the adult world is how to
get along with other people.
But one 16-year-old boy who
appeared yesterday in Juvenile
Court has a more vital concern
how to get along with him
self.
The youth is the next thing
to an alcoholic - a problem
drinker. He has been drinking
for a year and. according to a
probation officer, he cannot con-
troll the urge.
The boy. who sits In a hunched
position and whose coloring is
pasty white, was placed on
probation by Judge Edith Cock
rill.
It was not brought out in
court where the boy gets what
he drinks. From his appear
anee, 1t would seem unlikely
that he could deceive liquor
store statesmen or bartenders
about his age.
Under Mental Observation
The boy specifically was
charged with disorderly conduct
on October 2, when he allegedly
cursed and resisted an arrest
ing officer. The boy appeared
in court last July charged with
being drunk and disorderly. The
court then ordered him to Dis
trict General Hospital for mental
observation.
At that time, the boys mother
told the court she planned to
take the boy with her to join
her husband. a soldier, in Ger
many. She failed in this she
said, because of a lack of money
Yesterday the mother and an
attorney presented two plans to
the court: After his 18th BIRTH
day next month, the boy could
60 into the Army; or he could
go to Germany with his mother
In February.
Enlistment Forbidden
After a conference with the
attorney. Judge Cockrill decided
against the boy Joining the serv-
ice because, as she said before,

D. {. Teacher
lntegrdtion Up

Teacher migration has in
creased in the District public
schools since last year--but only
Slightly. an ofiicial report has
disclosed.
Sixty-six OF Washington's 1877
public schools--about two-fifths
lof the total--now have both
white and Negro teachers, ac-
Icording to the report.
In September. 1864. the school
system started race indignation,
with 80 schools having bi-racial
teaching stats. However, some
additional schools never off,
Icially counted were added later,
so the incyease In the number
of teacher<integrated schools this
fall is not as great as the avail
able figures suggest.
Short in Proportion
The proportion Of Negro teach
ers Is still not as great as that
Iof Negro students, the new re-
port disclosed.
Negro teachers now number
.2.l2l. compared to l.677 white,
for q Negro majority OF SIS per
cent. only a slight gain from a
year ago. Last month the school
system reported that Negro pu-
pills now constitute about IS per
cent Of the total enrolment. All
but IL Of the city's schools have
pupils of both races.
Additional highlights of the
teacher report. based on q count
made October 81, follow:
Almost all the teacher inte-
grafton is in formerly all-white
schools. Only II white teachers
have been assigned so far to
posts in schools formerly In the
colored division. Negro teach
ers assigned to formerly all
white schools number 25l--27
in senior highs, IS in junior
highs and l29 in elementary
schools.

Twenty : nine elementary
schools and two vocational high
schools still have all-whits
