The Parent-Teachers Association
met in a called meeting in the high
school auditorium at 3:30 p. m.
Wednesday, January 31. A demon-
stration of a sound" motion picture
machine by the Victor Corporation
was presented before the Associa-
tion.
Mrs. Paul Allen presided at the
meeting. Superintendent Smith
suggested that the discussion of the
motion picture machine be turned
over to the project committee. The
president approved of this sugges-
tion.
A discussion was brought up by
Mrs. Allen on the Allday contest.
The Association voted not to enter
the contest since many of its mem-
bers were bound to other organi-
zations. Emphasis was placed on

who was ill. Mrs. Hughes then
substituted for Mrs. Lee Warren in
giving her part on the program on
"How to Listen to Opera." This
was followed by definitions of
waste and economical planning con-
trol the food budget as definitely as
does the size of one's pocketbook.
In years gone by it was estimat-
ed that no more than one-fourth of
the income should be spent for food.

Obviously, as the income decreases,
the percentage of food decreases.
First of all, good cooking is es-
sential if good meals are to be en-
joyed. So, no matter what materials
are used, the ability of the cook
has more than a little to do with
the cost of meals.
Clever marketing often makes it
possible to provide excellent meals
at a low cost, boo. Buying in quan-
tity, whenever a larger amount can
be used to advantage, always is an
economy. The use of canned fruits
and vegetables in place of out-of
season shipped fresh ones makes
for a greater variety of foods at a
moderate cost.
Consideration of the edible and
waste materials in foods is impor-
tant. Meats containing a large
amount of bone, although low in
price may be more expensive as a
source of actual food than a more
costly piece of clear meat. How-
ever, if the bone and trimmings are
utilized in a soup or stew, the waste
material is nil.
Cereal, both the breakfast variety
and the paste-foods, contribute
much food value at low cost. Drier]
fruits and dried vegetables are
cheap sources of energy and miner-
al salts. The root vegetables and
cabbage have a long season and are
very inexpensive. They supply
valuable nutrients for the minimum
outlay.
The planning of three nousishing
meals every day in the year require
a knowledge of the composition of
foods as well as imagination and j Gunn.
actual creative ability on the part
of the home-maker. All the food
elements—protein, fat, carbohy-
drates, mineral constituents and
vitamins must be served daily.

j lege Extension Service, explains
I that when a woman buys a dress
i by bust measure she may find it
I tight at the hips or loose at the
| waistline. Some women complain
that dresses "pop" at the skirt
seams wher. they sit down. Other
points where garments are subject
to strain, if a woman is quite ac-
tive, are in the back between the
shoulders and around the armholes.
Manufacturers and retailers in
the country requested the survey
after th Bureau completed a study
of 147,000 children ranging in age
from four to 17 years. Some of
the measurements have been re-
quested by manufacturers of special
garments such as slips, corsets and
foundation garments, and stock-
ings.
About 45 minutes is required to
record the 59 measurements. The
study is being financed by the
Works Progress Administration.
(3) Don't leave camp and warm-
ing fires unprotected.
With squirrel hunting seaaon
opening in many East Texas coun-
ties and with the inflamable forest
conditions increasing, hunters are
especially urged to be careful with
fire in the forest.
The Texas Forest Service asks
the cooperation of the public in the
prevention of forest fires.
Be Careful With
Fire In the Forests
LUFKIN, Texas—"You are urg-
ed to be careful with fires in the
forests," W. E. White, Chief of the
Division of Forest Protection, Tex-
as Forest Service, in charge of for-
est protection in East Texas stat-
ed today. "The occurence of re-
cent rains lessened the extremely
hazardous and inflamable forest
conditions existing for the past
several weeks. However, strong,
drying north winds immediately fol
lowing the rains in East Texas have
rapidly dryed out the forests mak-
ing the fire hazard serious again,"
he said.
Carelessness on the part of the
general public is responsible for
75 per cent of the forest fires while
the other 25 percent is caused by
incendiarism and lightning and for
this reason a special appeal goes
out to the public to prevent forest
fires.
Prevent forest fires by follow-
ing a few simple rules:
(1) Don't throw down lighted
cigarettes, cigar butts, pipe fillings
and burning matches in the forests
or from automobiles on the High-
ways.
(2) Don't permit brush an;l trash
piles and field fires to escape.
Texas Farmers Use
More Trench Silos
COLLEGE STATION—Texas far
mers and ranchmen stored 3,446,-
591 tons of feed in 28,831 trench
silos in 1939.
This represents an increase of
1,629, 963 tons and 11,783 trenches
over 1938 totals, according to E. R.
Eudaly, dairyman of the Texas A.
& M. Extension Service.
"The trench silo figures are get-
ting so big that we need some sort
of comparison to grasp them," Eu-
daly pointed out. "For instance,
if all the silage put in trench silos
in 1939 were put into one trench
12 feet wide and 6 feet deep, it
would reach from Corpus Christi
to Ardmore, Okla."
More significant was his state-
ment that enough feed had been
placed underground to feed Texas'
1,400,000 dairy cows for 125 days.
The increase in the number of
trench silos and in the volume of
silage stored is surprising in view
of the wide spread drought of the
past year. The dairy specialists
however, said that many farmers
and ranchmen had put otherwise
worthless drought stunted crops in
to trenches. Such feed makes fair
silage.
