Senator Scott
reports
from, WASHINGTON

Washington. - Recently / have
been receiving increasing amounts
of mail concerning Federal aid for
education.
From all indications, there seems
to be sharp division of opinion on
the matter, which is certainly one
of the most important issues of
our time. It is important because
of the very serious-and really
Reconsideration we have al
lowed public education facilities to
get into.
Those of us who will never again
sit in classrooms are indeed selfish
and foolish not to make it our
business to give every educational
opportunity we can possibly afford
to the younger generations. Those
who are acquainted with the prob
lem agree that drastic steps must
be taken If we are to overcome our
current deficit in school facilities
mot TO mention keeping up with
a steadily increasing population.
Quite naturally there is much
disagreement about how the prob
lem should be approached. And
this is as it should be. But the i'm
portant thing is this: We are caus-
ing a bad situation to get worse as
long as we keep putting off an at
tempt to meet the problem.
After a great deal of study and
consideration, the Education and
Labor Committee of the House of
Representatives has approved a
bill that seems sound and reason
able. The official report on the
committee action and the bill it
has recommended were made pub
lie last week. 1t is a SOLDERING ex-
perienee to read the report and see
what is at stake. in our schools to-
day. =
Had it not been for the regret
table issue of indignation VS.. seq
regation entering into the picture,
some sort of school construction
legislation would have passed long
ago.

control over such expenditures has

Lots of Suggestions

MIS-. >. >. r., StLDer Spring
For Mrs. T. E. C. of Falls
Church, concerning blenders.
Nut Cream can be made
by starting with about p cup
fruit juice and 2 tablespoons
of honey; gradually add Pc
cans. almonds, cashews, wal
nuts, until consistency of
cream. This makes a nice top
ping for buildings, banana
or other fruit salad, or any
recipe in which ordinary cream
might be used.
Nuts can be chopped or
grated: put in only a few or
tablespoonful first, start
and stop the blender frequently
and scrape pieces adhering to
jar into the center; then start
and continue stopping and
starting until the nuts are as
fine as you desire. After you
get the idea. you can do a
larger quantity.
Fruit whips can be made by
soaking dates. prunes, apricots,
etc., over night in sufficient
water to cover; when soft, pit
if necessary, put Juice and pulp
in blender and run until a
smooth pulp is formed; add
sugar or honey to taste. This
makes a nice dessert that has
the consistency of a cornstarch
pudding. but no cooking is re-
Quired. Top with nuts. coconut
or whipped cream.
If you want to whip cream
in the blender, put in the
cream and start machine, but
after it runs just a few Sec
onds, turn right off again lest
1t get too thick and turn to
butter: turn off and on in this
way and it will very quickly be
nice and fluffy.
You can whip skinned milk
powder to use as a topping, too,
using a larger amount of the
powder; it takes bit of ex-
perimenting.
Apple Whip is also delicious.

Tolk About Tiles

Dear Readers: am in
terested in making a coffee
table with a ceramic tile top
and have been told that one
Of the Home" magazines
published full instructions
sometime last summer. am
wondering if any of the
readers know where I could
get a copy of this magazine,
or If anyone could furnish
the name of the magazine and
the month this article was
published.
I also have another problem.
The asphalt tile in my kitchen
has an extremely hard finish.
I have used all the advertised
brands of liquid wax and the
shine not only doesn't last
five weeks'-it doesn't last
five minutes! Would appre-
ciate any suggestions short of
replacing it.

Convenient Cutlery

EOR THE gadget-minded housewife

here are q few new items to prove
there are still things that money viii
buy. Probably no single kitchen has
all the various pieces of cutlery and
assorted scullery aids shown here,
useful as they are. One reason may
be that prospective purchasers have
never seen the items before. Another
reason could be that egg scissors and
spaghetti servers are not things likely
to be snapped up. even II you can
afford them.

but leaves the nutmeat intact in the
process. The spaghetti server auto

Mrs. Carrie Galloway gave
a very helpful talk on Fore
ing Bulbs. The steps to be
taken were outlined as fol-
lows: IA good medium
size bulb purchased from a re-
liable dealer; 2-Have a well
prepared soil with two parts
garden soil and one part hui
mus or peat moss. Mix with
enough sand so that soil will
not pack when squeezed while
wet. Slft thru a coarse strain
err, add a five inch flower pot
of steamed bone meal to a
bushel of soil: 3-The roots
must be developed before any
other growth. The secret of
success is a pot full of roots.
This can be done by removing
all light and keeping the tenn
perature down, initiating au-
tumn soil conditions.

honesty, integrity and just
