BONANZA PTA HAS By Lottie Mcdonald Mrs. Betty People, active president of Bonanza's PTA, has been re-elected to her of fice for the coming year. Other new officers were Mrs. Bamum, vice president; Ruby Arnett, secretary, and Mrs. Fruer, treasurer. A summary of the activities carried on during the past school term which is now fast coming to a close, shows that the time has been well used by the parents and teachers. The first big project sponsored by the adult group was the community Hallowe'en party. The main aim of this was to curb mischievous youngsters in their prank playing on that night The result of the all around party was surprising and little or no damage was done to community property. Another outstanding improve ment for the Bonanza schools, which is backed by the PTA is the scout movement. Don Norlin, grade school principal, heads the older boys group while Mr. Cruthers, Smith Hughes instructor, coaches the Cub scouts. Ruby Arnett leads i a Brownie troop for the scout minded girls. A third accomplishment which has spread over the entire year has come through the various instructive entertainments pre sented to the group. Early in the year there was a discussion of the tax dollar and how it is spent by the school. Later, dur ing football season when many parents were worried about bruised and battered sons, an illustrated talk was given before the PTA, explaining the use of athletic equipment to protect the young sportsman. Early in the spring Miss Wells came from Klamath Falls to talk on the advantages of girl scouting. The home demonstration group sponsored a movie on "Home Relations" at one time and vari ous other talks and movies were presented. Lastly in the series of instructive entertainments was a talk by Lawyer Perkins concerning "inheritance laws." The PTA year of 1940-41 is, officially closed but not dead by far, because with Betty I Pepple as president another , lively term is certain for next : year.

Choose a basically good color one that is agreeable un der artificial as well as natural light, one that is easy to live with, the Plumbing and Heating Industries bureau advises. Modern plumbing fixtures in soft, delicate shades of ivory, brown, peach, blue, lavender or green give enduring beauty and satisfaction. .To please the mas culine taste stronger colors in plumbing fixtures, such as ma roon or black, or white plumb ing fixtures against red, navy blue, dark green, walnut brown, or similar vital backgrounds, are suggested. The most attractive part of the bathroom, of course, is the plumbing fixtures, jewel-like lavatories of vitreous china or cast iron enamel, low, safe tubs, and efficient quiet closets may be purchased in sets that match in color and design. A shower, either over the tub or In a sep arate compartment, completes the utility and beauty rating of your new or modernized bath room. Try to contrast or harmonize the color in the walls and floors with the color of the bathroom fixtures, the bureau suggests. To achieve the most satisfying color interest, serious thought must be given to this problem when the new house or apartment, or re modeling job is still in the blue print form. In the bathroom of a house recently completed, gray glass on opposite walls is a lovely background for peach-colored Tips From Garden Notebook By A Klamath Gardener Just a few hints on this and that for this week. If you love trees, give them proper care, pruning to keep them in shape should have been done before this. However if some broken or unsightly limb needs to be cut off, do it care fully and properly. Small whips should be cut cleanly and as even and near the parent branch or tree trunk as possible. A good pruning knife or sharp pocket knife can be used for this. For larger limbs, the situation can be handled better, if the limb is taken off In two cuts.

The living room fireplace is flanked by closets, and the good- sized dining room provides pri vacy for old-fashioned entertain- ing. The kitchen is efficiently planned and well-equipped. The property, located in Can ton. Mass., was valued at $5600 fixtures. The other two walls are painted an oyster white to blend into the gray glass. The floor is of small squares of Moravian tile a deeper gray. Another bathroom in this house serves the master study bedroom. Its character is defi nitely masculine. White fixtures are in striking contrast to the virile, red-brown marble cut in rectangles for the walls and in squares for the floor. Judicious use of the marble saves it from being overpowering. The rest of the bathroom walls are plaster painted white. Towels are white and so is the curtain of raw silk, Adroit use of color with white fixtures endows a wholly practi cal room with an undeniable charm of its own. Because your budget demands inexpensive decorations, it does not follow that you must have a drab room One bathroom with white plumbing fixtures has a floor of rose linoleum with a wide bor der and base of French blue. The walls are papered with a bold plaid of rose, white and blue on a soft grey background. Ceiling and other accents sustain the blue note. A green and beige background accented by brown towels and brown shower curtain, or a beige and brown room with accents of sunflower yellow are pleasing settings for white plumbing fix tures. Through the use of color In fixtures or background, your bathroom can harmonize with its surroundings. Dominant or restrained colors in adjoining bedrooms should be picked up and used In bathroom decoration to accomplish perfect harmony. the trunk. Then If It splits no damage will be done the tree proper by tearing the tender new bark. Then by using a regu lar pruning saw or a sharp car penters finish saw make a clean cut up part way from the bot tom, then a cut down to meet that so that there will be no ragged edges. If the cut is large something must be used to seal the pores of the wood. Some folks I have known to use paint, that does not contain too much turpentine. Melted wax may be used, but must be renewed if the weather gets hot. Also or dinary commercial shellac or creosote can be used, but any rant noo sun I rw . J .

Your own architect or builder can, if you want him to, dupli cate the plans for this house. of these should be later covered by a more permanent covering such as coal tar or asphalt. Fresh cuts should be covered as soon as possible. Now, this is only emergency measures or something to be done if one cares to take a chance with the trees. If large expen sive trees need care, my advise would be to get an expert, and be sure he has the proper cre dentials. Some so-called tree doctors (self-styled) are likely to do more damage than an ama ture gardener. Another thing, lots of good trees are ruined by props and efforts at bracing. Never tie a branch up or try to prevent splitting by binding wires, straps or schains around the trunk or limbs, even if you used inner tubes or sacking, as I have often seen done for padding. For temporary measures use some small blocks' or pieces of wood under the brace where it comes in contact with the tree. The more proper method is to have holes bored straight through the limbs and connect them with a steel rod, threaded and having washers and bolts at each end, or smaller rods may be used and cable or chain used between them for a brace. If you are starting young trees and keep cat or your neighbor does, youd better fasten some thing around the bottoms of them to keep puss from using the smooth young trunk for a file to keep its claws sharpened. Trees need plenty of water the same as the garden does, especially shade trees. They also respond to fertilizing. If young trees are kept properly trimmed and shaped as they grow and the work is properly done there is not much danger that they will not grow into a thing of beauty, barring of course, some accident.

Safe Home," according to Western Homes foundation, which presents this theme with a new small-home pattern, the "Haven." The "Haven" pattern is for a garden apartment offering the features of a modern small city apartment at far less monthly costs for ownership than for av erage rent. It is ideal In econ omy, efficiency and charm for the young married couple or small family that desires secur ity and stability of living. The "Haven" may be built in its present economical siia but with provision for future additions, or it may be enlarged to meet FHA title II requirements. Every progressive . retail lumber deal er maintains a design service to take care of Just such needs. " 'Home. Safe Home' is In these times much more than a slogan," declares W. C. Bell, chairman of Western Homes foundation. "Building costs are still moving on a level. How long this may continue in view of the swelling demand for skilled labor and building ma terial to meet the crisis in the defense program, no one can say. The point is that home ownership is still a low-cost proposition while rents are on the rise. "Here are a few other 'Home. Safe Home pointers: "1. The new home owner knows just what his home will be costing bim per month five or ten years from now, as well as this year, in terms of dollars and cents. For the average fam ily, here is the best possible hedge against inflation. "2. More people are started on the road to financial indepen dence through home ownership than in any other way. "8. In times of stress the home is always something to fall back on. "4. A home Is much like a sav ings account from which you draw your interest as you pay it. "S. Home ownership gives fi nancial and credit rating in the business world because it is everywhere recognized as a fun damental principle of stability. "6. The children of home-owning parents somehow seem to have a greater stake in the com munity. "7. Old friends are always best, and it is pretty difficult to develop lifelong attachments which make living more pleas ant when we move from rented house to rented house in many different communities. "8. Most of our actions being habitual, it is easy for the home owner who has completed the purchase of his dwelling to con tinue systematic monthly sav ings. "8. We always live better when we know that come what may the paid-for house means always a roof over the family. "10. It is truer now than ever before that 'Home, Safe Home' is our first line of defense. There is no fifth column in the homes of America." MONTHLY PAYMENTS through aw AlC Monthly Pay..
