Young families IN Silver Spring,
maryland, have the answer

NTHEN we moved to Silver Spring, my hus-
w band and were too busy arranging and
rearranging furniture, planting our first veee-
table garden, digging weeds and encouraging
new grass, and becoming acquainted with our
neighbors TO think much of going out dancing
or to the movies, or visiting our city friends
Gradually, however, the furniture was ar
ranged to our liking, we reaped our small
harvest of vegetables, the grass grew thicker
and the weeds thinner, and we once again had
the feeling we'd like to leave the children for
a few hours at least and go out on the town
just the two of us.
Having so decided, we found ourselves fac
ing problem never encountered in the CITY.
Here we we're, in spanking new house, with
a spanking new baby boy, and every couple
was just like us-too much like U.S. We couldn't
find any grandmothers in the vicinity, and only
two teen-agers, and they weren't much inter
ested in baby-sittng
We tried exchanging sittings with one or
two OF our neighbors But to our dsappoint
ment this didn't work out too well-one would
want to go out three nights a week or so, the
other only once month. Or there would be
a neighborhood get-together, and everyone
would want to go out, but no one would want
to sit.
Then four of us hit upon an idea-why not
form cooperative baby-sitter's group where
pool of parents would undertake to sit for
each other? We went around door-to-door.
covering three blocks, passing out flyers we had
made, asking anyone interested in such a
venture TO come to meeting. To our amaze
ment twenty women attended. and our CO.
operative was formed
The club grew until we had to close the
membership. Today, of the original four mem
bers only one remains, but the group is very
active and all members are happy. Although
the group was formed because of a scarcity of
baby sitters, many mothers join to save money.
Others feel more relaxed when they are out,

knowing that an experienced mother is in
charge
Since forming our club, we have found that
there IS nothing very unusual about our situa-
ton or our solution. Parents in other places
have had the same idea, and organized, so that
when one couple wanted to go out, they could
call on another parent to come in to sit with
their children.
'oR THOSE who may not be acquainted with
l. the workings of baby-sitters' cooperative
here is list of the rules which have helped to
make our club an efficient body

order, will be secretary for period of one

Operation Demonstrate" in
Cleveland has shown how mod
ern materials and the magic"
of remodeling can turn an old
house into virtually new home.
A remodeling contractor, an
architect, decorator, and a
landscape designer teamed up
under the sponsorship of Amer
lean Home magazine to work
their skills on a tall, boxy house
about 40 years old.
The finished product was an
up-to-date home, attractive on
the outside and comfortable,
convenient and modern inside.
Total cost of labor and materials
was $7,930.
AS described in Practical
Builder magazine, principal ex-
terror renovating consisted, as
the photographs show, of new,
light-color roof of asphalt shin
giles applied over the old roofing
material, large, modern win
dows of ponderosa pine, new
pine panel doors, removal of an
ugly old porch, and new paint.
Design of the exterior color
scheme did a great deal to take
away the high, awkward look.
Using light color shingles on the
roof made it possible to paint the
third floor dormer a dark color,
breaking up height.
The upper half of the house
was painted in a dark color and
the lower half white. White on
the wide upstairs windows adds
an illusion of length.
Inside, the first step toward
modern comfort was installation
of thick mineral wool insula-
tion in walls and ceilings. This

cations and their auxiliaries.
1--WE want all-especially parents
who may have lost loved one in
the service to take this opportunity
to pay tribute to all, the living and
dead-who have worn their coun-
try's uniform. Since this will be the
major Veterans Day function in
Delaware we anticipate a record
turnout if fair weather prevails"
Alpern declared.
Samuel A. Lynch, chairman of
the gifts committee said that a
special imprinted ball point pen
will be presented to. all hospital
lied veterans on or near Veterans
Day, November IL. Members of var
ious auxiliaries will aid in the dis
tribution, he said.
Mr.. Alpern also confirmed that
Bernard Abrams, Jersey City, New
Jersey attorney and national COM
mander of the Jewish War Veter-
ans would be the principal speaker.
He said this was especially fitting
since he represents the Delaware
Jewish War veterans as state chair
man this year.
Commander Abrams served in
the United States Army for nearly
four years, having spent about one
half his time in the European The
atre. He was assigned to the Grim
inal Investigation Department.
A member of all major veterans
organizations, Mr. Abrams is also
on Governor Meyner's Committee
on Employment of the Handicap
ped; a director of the Jersey City
Jewish Community Center; the
Zionist Organization of America
and the Hebrew Home for Aged of
Hudson and Bergen Counties.
Mr.. Alpern also pointed out that
since members of the United Span

be guest of honor, a bus would
transport members of this group to
the bridge plaza from Rodney

will provide the firing squad for
the official salute to the dead.
