^ 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!

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.”

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

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!

Soil Conservation News
By B. W. 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?
