The project started when the young pupils were learning, as a part of their social studies, that it takes contributions from many sources to supply a modern society with the things they need for a comfortable living. They learned that a community is made up of more than homes and schools and playgrounds. They visited some of the stores and learned that the stores do not make the things they sell. The produce, clothing and all kinds of merchandise comes from Kearns Jr. High Sponsors Interesting Math Exhibit VIVACIOUS Sharon Baxter, Utahs 1960 Dairy Princess, serves Harold L. Peterson a delicious salad made with Utah cottage cheese as state observes a Cottage Cheese Festival continuing until April 17. Coinage Cheese Festival People in this area join the state this month in observing Utahs first Cottage Cheese Festival, sponsored by the American Dairy Association of Utah. The festival will continue until April 17. Utahns are expected to eat more cottage creese during March than during any other month in the history of the state, according to Louis R. Curtis, festival chairman. Mr. Curtis is aso president of the Dairy Council of Utah. Last year, Utahs dairy plants over seven million processed of cottage cheese. That is pounds double the states production ten years ago; seven times the production twenty years ago; and twenty times the production thirty years ago. The tremendous increase in the popularity of cottage cheese stems from several factors, said Harold L. Petersen, manager of the ADA of Utah. Cottage cheese is rich in protein, yet is low in calories. It is low in cost and there is no waste. In addition, cottage cheese is a very versatile food. It can be served quickly as a salad, with such foods as lettuce, tomatoes, oranges, or grapefruit. It is delicious in casseroles, and is excellent eating just plain as it comes from the carton. Presiding over the festival are Utahs dairy royalty: Dairy Princess Sharon Baxter and her attendant Joan McFarland and Julia Smith.

Camp Fire Girls are also organized throughout the world in many foreign countries and include girls of all races and creeds, between the ages of 7 to 18.

Mrs. Palmer directed her pupils to the realization of the fact that a village or city has many kinds of establishments stores, factories, parks, zoos, places of entertainment and many things that young pupils had not thought of before. These things were brought home to them when they all entered into a project of constructing a model village of paper and cardboard structures, placing as many different kinds of establishments in as they could. Then, when the discussion centered on what the children wore, they found that the first clothing Was made from skins, and from that to fur, and then man-mad- e fabrics from natural sources, such as cotton, wool, linen and silk. From their, their interest led them to t'ne synthetic and artificial fabrics, and that was the beginning of the fair idea, to see how many kinds of fabrics they could find and put cn display. They found that there are at least 20 common kinds of fabrics made of cotton, from fine batiste, to heavy sail cloth, corduroy, denim, and the like. They found that there are many different kinds of woolen fabrics, different weights and kinds of linen, silk and leather. Then the young pupils were very amazed to find that some things they wore were made of coal, glass, milk, soy beans, and other substances, and that there are many commonly known materials, such as rayon, nylon, orlon, and a large number of mixtures of the different kinds of fbrics. They experimented with the fabrics by burning them, and found that cloth made of glass will not bum, that orlon melts, and that the ashes of wool and silk are crisp, but cotton bums almost entirely up, leaving very little ash. The collections of the many kinds of fabrics were placed on display and invitations sent out by the class members to their parents to visit the Fabric Fair and see what the children are learning. A total of kinds of material was collected, including such things as lace and embroiderv edgings, along with the many others. The project has resulted in considerable ;nterest and enthusiasm among her pupils, Mrs. Palmer Valley Jr. High PTA Sets Final Meeting The final meeting for the 1959-6- 0 school year of the Valley Jr. High PTA will be held this evening at 7:30 p.m. Students of the musical, speech, and vocal departments will present special entertainment.
