Berghoff said the pastel pref

"Paint tastes, like popular
music, are somewhat whimsical,

"A few years ago it was the

Woman Attends 50th Reunion;
Gives Graduation Poem Again
Mrs. Edith H. Whillock has
returned to her home at 1003
West Main street, after attending
the 50th reunion of her high
school graduating class at Hu
mansville. Mo.. June 22. The
Humansville Star Leader, re
porting the reunion, commented
particularly on the fact that Mrs.
Whillock recited from memory
a poem which she had given as
part of the graduation program
a half-century before.
The poem, "The Source" from
Henry Van Dyke's "The Blue
Flower" is some 3,000 words
long. Mrs. Whillock, who now
cannot find the original copy
from which she memorized, said
she had not recited the work
aloud until recently when she
had been asked to give it for the
reunion program. -
Three of the five members of
the class attended the reunion,
as well as three teachers who
had taught the group. The for
mer pupils who attended were
Mrs. Whillock, the former Edith
Ham, Medford; Mrs. Deane Rec
tor Mullin of Des Moines, Iowa
and Edgar Carson, El Paso, Tex.
The teachers, each past 85 years,
were Mrs. Margaret McElree
Ziegler of Eldorado Springs;
Mrs. Cora Stufflebam and
Charles Higgins of Osceola, Mo.
A general reunion of Humans
ville High school graduates was
held, with the class of 1907
especially honored. About 250
attended the program, which fol
lowed a reunion dinner.
Following the reunion Mrs.
Whillock visited her cousin, Ef-,
fie Ham Lathum of Oklahoma
City, and other relatives in Ar
kansas and Oklahoma, including
her father's only living brother,
A. H. Ham, 90, of Greenfield,
Mo., and his wife.
Mrs. Whillock made the trip
to Missouri by air. Returning

Bedroom Paint
Helps Sleep
Lansing, Mich. (W If you
have trouble getting to sleep, a
new coat of paint on the bed
room walls may help, say home
furnishing specialists at Michi
gan State University. '
Bedrooms with soft colors and
quiet patterns help you rest and
sleep, say the experts; while
gay, lively patterns and bright
colors tend to be exciting.
Color in the home should re
flect the purjjose for which each
room is used, they said. Bed
rooms and rooms lived in for
long hours at a time need to
seem quiet and restful.
The color of the hall can set
the mood each family wishes
to express when greeting guests.
The living room is usually
shared by the whole family. If
the family relaxes there, listens
to the radio, eats, talks and en
tertains friends, the color and
pattern should be restful but
cheerful. But, if your family
plays games, sings, dances and
is generally more active, gayer
colors would be more suitable.
Lively patterns and colors on
walls, floor and chair seats in
the dining room help relieve
hard, monotonous appearance of
formal furniture. Clear colors
are best in a kitchen, the spe
cialists explained, because they
look fresh and go well with
white and light-colored equip
ment and appliances.
Easy Dinner
Prepare your favorite meat
loaf mixture. Pack it into an
8xll-inch loaf pan. After bak
ing cut the loaf into six equal
portions. Top each portion with
a swirl of mashed potatoes.
Place the meat squares and
mashed potatoes under the broil
er just long enough for the
potatoes to gain a golden tinge.
Use cotton muslin sheets to
line wide draperies; this saves
on the number of seams in the
lining.
