The session was well attended with an address on "Interior Decorating in the Home" delivered by Mrs. Oeorge Hohl of Cedar Crest College, Allen¬ town. The speaker devoted most of her time to the living room stressing this as the most Important room in the average home. She stated that the| most susceptible period in the nor¬ mal child's life is the flrst six years and that environment and heredity | during that period will probably af¬ fect the entire future of the growing i child. I The speaker made a comparison' of the various periods in furniture, and pictured for her hearers the eflect achieved by furnishing the' living room of the home with stiff! antiquated furniture and that same' room furnished with cheerful dra-1 peries and restful furniture and the correct type of lighting.

The figures related and released by the Borough are very Interesting and if false would certainly be no good reflection upon that borough or H. V. McNair, pre¬ sent burgess. Residents of this bentral Pennsyl¬ vanta borough, Middletown wili not pay any borough taxes for the second successive year because the litcome from the municipal light plant pays the bills. The 1934 budget was fixed at t36,- 700 last week by the Council body, who estimate ithat the borough's power plant not only will earn that much, but enough more to pay $9,000 for a building purchased recently for a borough hall.

E. Stuber's Inquiry, can any farmer beat the milk record made by a cow belonging to him, that produced 2040 pounds of milk from February 1st to March 3nd. David Way, Supt. of Meadow- Brook Farm has a registered Ouem¬ sey cow named Stony Hill UUy, No 132935 that produced from December 1st to December 31st inclusive, 2215 4 pounds of milk, and from January 1 to January 31 produced 2016.6 pounds of milk, making an average for the 60 days of 2116 pounds of milk. The first record beats Mr. Stuber'.s cow- by 175.4 pounds for a month; and the average for the two months beat.s his one month by 76 pounds per month. Convening the butter¬ fat from the abote amount of milk to butter, this cow produced an average slightly over 107 pounds of butter per month and for tiie 60 day period 215 pounds. HOPES TO PLACE JOBLESS WORKERS Harrisburg.—A campaign to ac¬ quaint the employers in Pennsylvan¬ ia with the services rendered by tlie Federal-State Employment Bureau of the Department of Labor and Li- diistry was announced by A. W. Mot¬ ley, director. Tlie drive also Is ex¬ pected to find work for some of the many thousands whose registrations are in the files of the bureau. Oier 372.000 persons who regis¬ tered for work in the twelve of¬ flces of the bureau during the ac¬ tive CWA employment period still are without emplo>Tnent. Meml>ers of the staff during this month are making efforts to visit every employ¬ er in the twelve counties where ofB¬ ces are located. These personal conUcts are ex¬ pected to lead to a better under¬ standing on the part of the em¬ ployer of work done by the bureau, and at the same time it is expected that in some cases when the em- plo.ver is informed of the t.vpe of appUcanU seeking Jobs that work will be found for tliem. Qualifi¬ cations of appUcant.s. whose serv¬ ices may Ijc the t>TX« required in the factory visited, will be stre.s.sed with the hope that private enterprise win be able to provide specialized work. Despite the fact that employment on CWA projects was halted during the last week In January, many Job¬ less continued to roglst<T during February with the hope of obtain¬ ing work. In one week In Febru¬ ary more than 8500 persons regis¬ tered. In this same week, 1023 per¬ sons were placed in emploj-mcnt by the bureau. Harry D. Kutz, of Bethlehem, for¬ mer SUte Senator and member of the Northampton county bar, has announced that he wUl accept the appointment as acting postmaster of Bethlehem, tendered him Friday by Postmaster Oeneral Farley. The ap¬ pointment was made on recommen¬ dation of Congressman Francis E. Walter of Easton. He will serve as acting postmaster until his appoint¬ ment is confirmed by the Senate. He took charge Immediately. Mr. Kutz, a tormer resident of this place and for many }'ears borough solicitor will succeed Rol)ert K.

Fire Chief of the Borough of Nazareth is making an inspection tour of the town this week. The Borough Fathers can be highly complimented on this move It is a long step forward in the Fire Department knowing more atMut the construction of town build¬ ings, the flre hazards existing In some of the local buildings and a means of improving such conditions. Any suggestions made to citizens regarding fire hasards should be taken care of immediately by proper- ty owners. Again, we say.

I want to take thee by the hand and waUc beneath apple-blosaoms to go with thee through trees that are a* greening, to spy timid violets hiding under the leaves as thy sweet face hldeth ever under my every thought that is not of thee. I would spin thee every ex¬ travagance of fancy, web thee in the meshes of rare conceits, liken thee to everythUig sweet and strange now budding everywhere. To me thou art what this time meaneth. To me thou are little flowers opening, Itish grass growing, newcomer birds piping, first butterfUes Ultlnff In the warm wind. The hot sun is on thy Up, the moon on thy brow, the stars tangled In thy hair, thy voice Is fuU oC brooks babbling, and there Is never a pleasance of woodland or hiU that is not In thee. Thou art the younc dawn standing stiU behind the rim of the world; thou art the wind singing in the pines. Thou art the key without which I would stand discon- soUte and cold outside the meanUig of life and the uni¬ verse. The love thou awaken- est in me unlocketh aU my¬ steries. Thou are the one. There can be no other. There is but one sky over- embracing all, but one earth supporting all, but one ocean surrounding all. Even so thou art to me this infinite oneness. I fly in thee as a bird Ut the air, I swim In thee as a flsh In the sea, I go and come with ever thought of thee beneath, as soon as the caravan moves upon the desert. Every little dandelion is a memory of thee. All the Uttle pussy-wUlows are wisps of thy hair. Thc winking stars of thine eyes. Every road bOt leads to thee. Thou hast charmed the universe. Come! All things are drunk with Joy. Ufe ts streaashiff upward like a founUln. and the spray U on my heart.

WOMANS CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
The March meeting of the Wom¬ an's Club was held in the High school building Monday evening. The session was well attended with an address on "Interior Decorating in the Home" delivered by Mrs. Oeorge Hohl of Cedar Crest College, Allen¬ town.
The speaker devoted most of her time to the living room stressing this as the most Important room in the average home. She stated that the| most susceptible period in the nor¬ mal child's life is the flrst six years and that environment and heredity | during that period will probably af¬ fect the entire future of the growing i child. I
The speaker made a comparison' of the various periods in furniture, and pictured for her hearers the eflect achieved by furnishing the' living room of the home with stiff! antiquated furniture and that same' room furnished with cheerful dra-1 peries and restful furniture and the correct type of lighting.
Mrs. Hohl suggested also the re-
The following news article was released recently concerning a Pennsylvania town which now owns snd operates its own electric light and power plant. The figures related and released by the Borough are very Interesting and if false would certainly be no good reflection upon that borough or H. V. McNair, pre¬ sent burgess.
Residents of this bentral Pennsyl¬ vanta borough, Middletown wili not pay any borough taxes for the second successive year because the litcome from the municipal light plant pays the bills.
The 1934 budget was fixed at t36,- 700 last week by the Council body, who estimate ithat the borough's power plant not only will earn that much, but enough more to pay $9,000 for a building purchased recently for a borough hall. The structtire formerly was a hosiery mill.
