In the Lords Prayer and Samuel
Foster conducted the Flag Salute,
a representative of each-grade in
Junior-Senior High School, as we'll
as Mrs. Nell Lyons, and Mr..
Tawes, spoke briefly on the theme.
Following are the names of the
speakers and the gist of their talks:
7th Grade: Walter Outten, my
school is a place for gaining knowl-
edge and making friends"
9Th grade: Gladys Whitmore,
"My school is the place where
not only learn facts and acquire a
wider understanding but it is the
place which inspires me to look
forward to a bright future"
eth grade: John Williamson, who
had definite ideas of what school
means to him, said, ut is the place
where / learn to control my emo
tions, to get along with people, to
speak properly, and to prepare
for a life work after high school" !"
10th grade: Janice Breeding,
scolding herself. said that she, like
many others. had not taken her
school life seriously enough up to
this point, but that she is begin
ming TO realize that we get out of
school just what we put into it.
18th grade: Edith Hamstead said,
"My school means to me not only a
place where l may. get a formal
education, but it is also a place
where / develop a sense of right
and wrong and where / acquire
emotional balance by mingling
with many people"
18th grade: Faye Draper paid a
tribute to her school as follows: !:
Greenwood School is not one of

Of the best"

tor, spoke of the school as one of
the best places to invest ones time
and energies for the future of Am

only earns her living but also the
place where she can contribute her
bit to the community in which she
lives by inspiring young people to
fit themselves for the vocations for
which they have the greatest ap-
titudes. Her contacts with youth,
she added, help to supply her with
the zeal, the vigor, and the in
spiration for her work.

points of the speakers. then told of

Did you see our she'll collection
in the showcases in the Elementary
School lobby?
This summer we looked for
shells on the beaches. We brought
the shells to school and learned
the names of them. In our room
we made a beach scene with sand
and the shells. 1t was fun to
learn about shells. seaweed, and
many things that live and grow
in the water.
If you look for shells on the
beaches near Milford you may find
oyster, clam, conch. cookie, razor
clam, jingle, scallop, angel-wing,
mussel, and moon shells. If you
are lucky, you may find a star-fish
or a seahorse. We made she'll
booklets and each of US used plas-
ter of Paris to make a shell plaque
to keep.
We are sorry if you missed the
exhibit.

MARKING PERIOD

Report cards went out this week,
giving our parents an idea of the
kind of work we have been doing
during the first six weeks. No doubt
there will be many C's, and the
reason may be that we have not yet
gotten into tune" with school
work after a long vacation. Or
there may be DIS or F's because
we have not worked as we should
have worked in previous years.
Anyway, we need not despair If
we have the grit" we can raise
those marks during the next six
weeks. Remember mot failure, but
low aim is crime" and Little fail
ures sometimes are the stepping
stones by which we climb"

soil and water aid in the decay of
the leaves to form humus.
Layers of leaves. lime, fertilizer,
and soil should be alternated until
the pile is about four feet high.
Grass clippings and other plant
materials also make good compost
A slight dent in the center of the
top layer helps to hold rainwater
which soaks into the compost and
speeds the aging" process. Add
extra WAGER to the compost pile
during dry periods to prevent 1t
from drying. Turning and mixing
the pile once or twice also will
hasten the process.
In about six months the compost
should be thoroughly decomposed
and ready for the garden, either
spaded into the soil or spread on

.DesiQn In Scandinavia Exhibited
At Seattle Art Museum

Gov. Arthur B. Langlie has de-
clared a Design in Scandinavia
week which began Sunday, August
IL.
His statement stated From
August 10 through September IA,
the Seattle Art Museum will ex-
hibit Design in Scandinavia, which
features examples of Danish, Fin
nish, Norwegian and Swedish
craftsmanship used in objects for
the home. The exhibition, which
has been popular in major cities
of this nation, is tangible proof
that a joint effort of nations,
through their artisans and archi-
tects, is not only desirable but
entirely feasible. Nowhere should
this prove more interesting than
in the Pacific Northwest and the
State of Washington, which has
so many citizens of Scandinavian
ancestry"
Mr.. Bengt A. Nordquist, AID,
who has been with the Swedish
Society of Industrial Design for
five years, has arrived in Seattle
to assist with the installation of
the big show which includes 700
items of home furnishings and ac-
cessories.
The basic display unit consists
of a glass case, supported on a
folding base frame of anodized
aluminium. The case structural
members are also of aluminium.
with permanent ends and bottoms
of formica. When assembled,
Nordquist stated, the cases and
tables. together with screens and
platforms can be arranged in
great variety of ways to fit the
layout of any American museum.
The five parts into which the
exhibition is organized include an
introduction of large photographs
of the Scandinavian countries rep
resented; Denmark, Finland, Nor
way and Sweden. Also Good OBJ

Many Supern,arkets

The number of supennarkets
owned and operated by the Swed-
ish Cooperative Union is now al
most 1000, or about 400 more
than a year ago. This was re-
vealed at the recent fifty-seventh
congress Of the Union, held in
Stockholm, attended by over four
hundred delegates from the vari-
Gus consumer societies, as we'll as
by many foreign guests. The turn
over of the retail stores associated
with the Union showed an increase
of sc per cent in 1855. In his
opening address, Prime Minister
Tage Erlander said that conditions
in Sweden as well as the interna-
tional business situation justify a
sense of optimism for the innnedi-
ate future.

they will be represented, no less
than sixteen nations with Off

port industries will dominate the
Swedish section: there will be a
special exhibit to show what they
mean to the country's national
economy, which will also serve as
an information center for foreign
buyers.
Among the countries represent
