Down Merrill way one of the Klamath Country's most able musicians, Mary 'Mamie" Giaeomini, has done her share in helping the very young and "many oldsters" to appreciate harmony. - Mrs. Giacomini, born June 6, 1872, in Minnesota, has taught the scales for 63 years, since 1906 in Klamath County. The lure of the West brought Mary Dillon to California where she taught school for 14 years, then in 1900, in Eureka, where the fishing boats set sail at dawn and return at dusk, she married . . v Swiss born Modesto Giacomini, and six years later, by way of boat to San Francisco, rail to Thrall and Pokegama, by stage to Keno and boat once more to Lake side Inn, the Giaeominis arrived in Klamath Falls and THEN to Merrill via White Lake on the map. A ranch was bought, a 40-acre homestead and installed in the farmhouse was the only cherished possession brought with them ... a Gabler piano, shipped to Laird's Landing on Lower Klamath Lake and then by team to the new home. Music starved adults soon begged for lessons and Mary Giacomini was back In the groove she loved . . . teaching Mrs. Ed Martin, Mrs. A. Tenbrook, Mrs. W. C. Dalton, Mrs. Isaac Davis, Mrs. Fred Pope, Mrs. Joe Dewey . . . the youngsters came and they still flock after these many years to her door . . .she took an active part in the music world of church es, schools, dances, braving the mud and cold and discomfort to pull music from the key board.

Car Needed In Modern Gal's Life Did you know that one-third of the 65,000,000 licensed drivers in this country are women? They don't average as great distances In a year as men do, but their driving is certainly essential to American family life. Shopping, taxiing to school, trips to tho doctor's are the three most frequent reasons listed In a recent survey why women drive the fam ily car. In some places, especially Jn the suburbs, they are apt to have it from 75 per cent to 90 per cent of the time and many homes have been built In rural areas because a woman driver made It possible. Since many women have the use of family cars in the daytime, more and more wives are taking over the responsibility of seeing lo the care and the servicing of automobiles. This is a serious re sponsibility since it affects thetr families' safety and their cars' ef ficient operation. When you take over the duty of "tending to" the car, make it a habit to plan for regular check-up and care, Just the way you plan for visits with the children to the doctor and dentist. Use the same service man, whenever con venient. It's a good idea to take your car to the new car dealer January White Sale!

A list of foods providing- the basic seven for good nutrition was given, and their use in samples of daily menus Was demonstrated. Preparation of low-cost meals was discussed and it was stressed that costs were as low as $10.85 a week for two people, and up to $19.00 per week for four people with school - age children. Mfcals coming under the moderate cost level ranged from $16.80 per week for two people to $26.35 per week for four people with school age cnu-dren. In planning attractive meals much thought must be given to items other than preparation alone; Miss Bracken stated. Texture, fla vor and color of food are all im portant, in order to avoid a bland, monotonous diet. During the business session, Mrs. S. H, Dahler was appointed to fill the vacancy on the county com mittee created by the resignation of Mrs. Edwin Lee.
