Barrows, Bar-rows, home furnishing specialist with the Utah State Agricultural college extension service. One of the finest pieces of furniture in existence, exist-ence, a desk made for Louis XV of France, is made of veneers. Workman Work-man spent nine years making it. . Both types of construction have their advantages, says Mrs. Barrows. Solid wood can be carved. If any of the surface chips off, the same kind of wood is exposed; and if the piece needs refinishing, it can be sandpapered or planed down, it has no surface layers to loosen and pull off, an accident which may happen to poorly glued veneer panels. On the other hand, a well made veneered or "plywood" panel with three to five thin layers of wood glued together, each across the grain of the other, is stronger in some respects re-spects than a single board of the same thickness. Usually it will not shrink, check, or warp to any serious extent. The cores of the veneered parts may be made of softer, lighter, and cheaper lumber, so that the finished fin-ished piece may be sold for less than a similar article of one solid wood. The charm of highly figured woods which are not practical to use in thick sizes can be obtained by using face veneers. When very thin veneer ve-neer is cut from a beautiful figured wood, several consecutive layers will match in patterns so that beautiful symmetrical designs can be developed develop-ed for such furniture as desk tops, table tops, or bedsteads. Again, curved and irregular surfaces can be produced by gluing veneer together in shaped forms, this would be impossible im-possible with solid lumber, Mrs. Barrows Bar-rows points Qut.

The general objective of all adult education of today is to help people adjust to a changing society, the directors di-rectors of the program pointed out. "All subjects taught are In reality a means to this end. When we consider con-sider the program from this broad perspective, nearly every individual can profit by registering for some phase of adult training. "The question may be asked. 'Just what are some of the advantages of this social adjustment? Analyze some of the misunderstandings be tween parents and children and you will find that the young people, in many cases, are meeting these new situations better than are the parents. par-ents. Not only do we find conflict in families, but in communities and nations; all caused by a lack of ad justment, which could be avoided by education. Adult education is a great peace movement and has come to stay. Do avail yourself oi this rare opportunity.
