The mothers of beginners and pre-school children were invited to a talk and demonstration by Miss Ruth Rogers of the state health department. She explained and demonstrated how teeth de- velop. Some of the older children assisted her. The boys and girls have made color charts and printed the names of the colors. The beginners have enjoyed the stories of "The Old Woman and Her Pig," "Lamikin," "The House That Jack Built," and "Winnie - the -Pooh," by A. A. Milne. GRADE ONE' We have enjoyed having Mrs. Ring as our teacher this week. She has helped us do many nice things. Come into our room and see our windmills, tulips and Dutch people. We are enjoying a Dutch story called "Land From the Sea" and are making wooden. shoe flower containers. We are also making decorations for our school room windows.

"How true that is, Herb. And for the life of me, I can't figure out why, at a time like this, some folks insist on raising a ques- tion like prohibition. I can't imagine any- thing that would tickle our enemies more than to get us folks over here taking sides against each other, arguing about an issue like that. We've got a he-man's job on our hands to win this war and we :can't be wasting our minds, our money and our strength fighting about something we tried for nearly 14 years and found couldn't work.
