The people are painting, repair ing, building new fences, cleaning up unsightly places, and working on a play ground for the youth of the neighborhood as well as many other things that will make the community a better and prettier place in which to live and to make a living. The club voted to buy a new re frigerator for the building with the House Development Club paying half on It. This will be our added convenience in serving the many meetings and other meals which are served there.

Arrange Sewing Center For Ease And Convenience If you're planning to make cloth es for summer, it's a good idea to take the time to arrange your sew ing center for comfortable, conven ient work. How fast and easy your work goes may depend on the height of the 'cutting and sewing tables you use and the comfort of the chair you sit in. . ; Twenty - four homemakers in Pennsylvania tried an experiment and helped in laboratory tests of ' sewing equipment. They found that cutting' tables about 36 inches high . and not less than 56 inches long hiade their work easier. Of course, the height of the table or cutting board should be adjusted to suit the woman who will be 'using it. 1 , 1, - 4
