Vt T , 1 ELIAS HOWE MADE SEWING MACHINE A CL Claussen’s Cooperates With the National Famine Committee 74 ^ Back in 1846, after 20 years of hard work <and self-denial, Elias Howe made a sewing inachine which has heen given credit for reducing work and hardship in almost every j home in the civilized world. Five whole years before Mr. Howe’s sewing machine — even 1 ’way back then — the name Claussen 9 s stood for fine quality bakery products! >r» r Grammar School News 15, of to Chapel Visitor On Monday morning, April Fred Buzhardt, chairman the board of trustees, came talk to us in chapel. , We ^opened by singing “Come Almighty King”, after which Talbert read the list of those who had cleaned their plates dur- ing the past week. Mr. Buzhardt told us why we come to school. He said we come not only to learn but also how to learn to live. When . we grow to be men and women he wants us to be good. Our report cards are like ther mometers—they do not change anything, but show our mothers and fathers what we are doing in school. Our closing song was “My Grandfather's Clock.” Georgia Britt, Fourth Grade. Spring Spring brings joy. To every girl and boy; When showers fall Flowers answer nature’s call. In spring birds come to sing And messages of cheer to bring, spread their leaves And in their trunks shelter bees. Yes, more than a century has passed into history since Claussen’s first began faking quality bakery goods ... to be exact, 105 years! And, through these experience-filled years Claussen’s has amassed an overwhelm ing amount of experience, skill and what is termed today—“the know-how.” ClanSSenS Bread Today—as always—Chmssere’s is still carrying out the tradition of using only the fimest ingredients ... of adopting the latest approved bakery methods . * . of utilizing the most modern of baking equipment. It s no wonder that the term “Claussen’s Quality” has become a standard by which any fine bakery product may be judged!.

Pan American Dey One day out of a year is set a- side for the observance of the formation of the Pan-American Union which occurred fifty-six years ago. This day is April 14. The union was founded for the purpose of bringing about cooper ation and to promote helpfulness among the twenty-one American republics. The fifth grade learns about these republics in geography, for we study all the countries of North and South America which com pose the western hemisphere. The country which we have re cently completed was the Republic of. Mexico. I want to mention some of the facts concerning it. Mexico was explored and settled by people from Spain who con quered the native Indians. Later Mexico won her independence. This country has many natural resources, but as yet are not well developed. She leads the world could find some and to tell in the production of silver. Mexico the meaning of the design which j City is the oldest city in the every one loves spring then the birds sing; come the showers, And, soon after, the flowers. Rose Weldpn, Fifth Grade. Wild Flowers Dogwood was brought to school and placed in a vase. This caused < 1f ttiers in the room to tell where take a trip to one. But I could not even imagine going near a star, as it would take twenty-four million years to reach the nearest star traveling in an aeroplane at tne rate of one hundred mil3s an hour. I decided to let my imagination take me to the planet, Mars, the only planet which seems possible of having life upon it. I boarded an airship which got its power from atomic energy and it took me about six. months to get there. It was very cold on Mars as it s twice as far from the sun as. ho errth is. The people were a- bout ten and twelve feet tall and had on so much fur clothing. The Martian who talked to me said Mars had a very small population as food was hard to get and most of it came from animals. The weather was too cold for me, so without delay I started my Gur ney back to earth. I was really glad to get home! Christine Dillashc *. Fifth Grade. dogwood has. There followed a discussion a- Ixrat wild flowers. Some of the questions concerning the flowers not answered, and so It was western hemisphere. Ollie Wideman, Fifth Grade.

Cpuch The picture above is of cows grazing kudzu on a hill too steep for profitable cultivation. There are areas very much like this on almost every farm in McCormick County that could be put to its proper and profitable use if we so choose. The nice part about this field is that the farmer only needs to open a gate and let the cows in to reap his harvest. If it is not needed for grazing the farmer can cut it for hay. This could be a picture of your farm, is it?
