February 13, 1QL.2 GOOD, BETTER, BfiST, WE’LL IJEV'JiR LET IT REST, A/!y Project As Told By Sally Lou Perry The project I chose had been in my niind for quite a while, for I have alv/ays been in terested in pictures and redecorations that would improve a room inexpensively, I im mediately decided to make my room more at tractive; then I set about finding what my project was going to demand. All thoughts were on a dressing table, but having very little room to spare, I vetoed this brain wave. Next, curtains arose in ray mlnd;IihiidJ some light green cur tains that could stand to bo replaced. Hav ing a su.nny room,I"de- sired more green cur tains,but finding that the sun shone directly on them, fading them, white was chosen. The cost of my cm''.tains was $1,60 plus a v/eek^ time to make them. The cost of m*y closet, sur prisingly enough, v/as 10/^for only hinges had to be bought. The timber was already on hand. I rearranged my sister's and my cloth es and put various other articles on the shelves at the top. The paint for my floor cost v2,00. I became so enthusiastic over the results; I decidcd to take this project, another half year. In BAILEY BUGLE iHQME ECOKOHICSl addition to the abovo, I', plan to candlcwick two rugs, make a lamp shade, and arrange pic tures bocomingly in my room. Ruth liutfin Tells About Her Project Last siU'imer when Mrs, Rogers explained to us about our pro ject work, I select ed raising pigs for my project. When I start ed v/ith the pigs, they weighed about twelve pounds each. I fed then for four months with corn, v/heat bran, and fish meal. It re quired about fortyfive minutes each day to care for them. They had access to pasture and fresh water at all times. '^en I sold the two pigs, one weigho(3, sixty-six pounds and the other sixty-thrce pounds. They brought fifteen dollars and a half. Since my father gave me the feed, the pigs cost me nothing to raise. I enjoyed my project- an unusual one. hs.SQ.-lk UNTIL TIIE GOOD IS BETTER, AlTD THE BETTER BEST. Sto^y Of My Project As loLD By Florence MiLLtR JorNER Geo I When I think of those mind-twisting days when I wn.s trying to select my project for the first semester, it makes me dizzy. "Make a dress; no, I can't sew well en ough even to make an apron. Cook; no, I almost detest making biscuites. Well I Good ness I V/hat can I do?" I thought.Then as fate v;ould have it, when I v/as almost at the verge of giving up hopes of finding ajiy- thing that I liked, someone suggested car ing for my clothing. This project I was very interested in, so I began my work at once, doing something each day tov/ard ac complishing my goals, except Sundays '\and Christmas Day. RSQUIREI.ENTS This project requir ed doing my darning, removing stains from m.y clothes, pressing and Ironing, arranging my drsser - drawers, ribbon box, and ward robe, polishing my slippers, and washing my under garments.Fin ally, I fo\md I could do these things for myself so quickly I began doing them for the family.
