Spruce represents the type of tree which loses needles very readily upon drying. Balsam' fir, on the other hand, represents the type which retains its needles well. During the Laboratory investi4' gation, solutions of a number of fire retardant chemicals were introduced into spruce and balsam fir trees or branches by the same method as that used for water. While these experiments failed to disclose a chemical treatment more practical than water, the do not prove that such treatment is imposisble.

We are talking about the Stake a few Sheaf Binding. Only stakes have reached this goal in all the years of Gleaner work. In order to bind a Stake Sheaf, it is necessary that every girl of Gleaner age be enrolled in a Gleaner class. Each one must attend a Camaraderie, binding her sheaf with the class. When this is accomplished the ward sheaf is hound. When our seven wards have each hound the sheaf then our 160 Gleaner Girls will bind our Stake sheaf. Our goal is not far away for several wards are ready to bind their ward sheaf. You girls who have not yet enrolled, will you please do this, even though you cannot attend every week. This year we have the chance to participate in one of the lovliest experiences that can come to Gleaner Girls. We hope to see you all in the Gleaner class real soon.

Clifford Nelson is the principal. You remember he was the man who filled in at Lincoln the year Charlie Farnworth was killed. He certainly likes his community. They have a real art faculty there. I saw oil paints everywhere. Most of them were done by Harold. Woolston but Mrs. Helen Wentz is also an artist, and you know She is a B. Y. Myrtle Cochrane. U. art student. Mrs. Evelyn Knight is the first grade feacher and she surely has her principal's okeh. Mrs. Cochrane showed me some of the work done by her second grade pupils and they seem to be getting awa r from the excessive swing toward activity and back to the old traditional study of the three R's. Im sure that if some of our poor writers had had Myrtle as a second grade teacher that we would not be bo discouraged now by their poor writing. The Major Project in the school is a beautification program. They have an old building and a large lot covered with some three or four inches of gravel. They hope some day to have a beautiful new school but the meantime they are doing the best with what they have. An seems to be one of active the strongest positive forces.
