As the organic matter decomposes, the nutrients released cause circles of grass to turn a lush dark green. Many times, mushrooms will grow in the rings also. Most fairy rings do not cause permanent damage to the lawn and when the organic matter is gone, so are the fairy rings. Aeration of the lawn can help eliminate the fairy rings a little sooner.

The officials on toilr of schools in Utah had requested Vfo'iiYoF a randomly selected school. They were especially pleased to have a tour of an open space school building. We use the open space in the building to make team teaching work effectively, Taylor said. Although we have traditional classes, the open space allows flexibility which we use to our advantage. Taylor said that the Minister of Education of Japan has proposed that the Japanese schools do more team teaching and use more specialist in teaching as we do here. At the present time in Japan, one teacher is usually responsible for the entire instruction of one class. They wanted to see a typical Bountiful school and they were pleased and surprised that it was atypical. There is no other round school that can combine open-spac- e rooms although there are a number of traditional schools that use team teaching effectively, he said. Team teaching is effective here because the building compels cooperation, organization and excellent discipline. Taylor said Muir school which was built in 1969 is unique in Davis County. me. 21 SUMMER SPECIAL And we do mean limited, drop by West One between Monday, August 21 and Saturday, September 2 Winder Laundry Detergent 5 10 Lbs. f Summer Drms 12 Gallon m.
