A. L. Fletcher discussed some of the provisions of the ordinance with the councilmen. Under the ordinance, the city Is divided into four zones, 1 and 2, residential zones, 3 business dis trict and 4 industrial district. The principal difference between zones 1 and 2 Is that in zone 1 only single and two family dwellings may be built and In zone 2 mult iple family dwellings and apart ment houses may be erected, Zone 2 Is next to the business district. The council passed at second reading the building code and vol unteer fire department ordinances. Chairman R. O. Whitaker ap pointed a committee to work on a program of street improvements. Members of the comittee are George Henneman. chairman; Emil Stuns and Harry Miner. George Sallee, a former council man, was appointed to replace Councilman Herschel Thompson, resigned. FAMILIES PLAN TO MAKE XMAS GIFTS Many farm families cooperating with farm security administration are planning to escape the still existing shortages of Christmas gifts with homemade toys, presents, and tree oraments, reports Mrs. Irene N. Makinson county home management supervisor for the FSA Wilson building, Ontario. Attractive children’s toys are be ing made with scraps of wool, men's ootton sock* and bits of yarn; also scraps of wood, spools, a few nails and screws, some bright enamel paints and a few simple tools such as a coping saw. hammer, square and a screwdriver may be used In turning out attractive toys, states Mrs. Makinson. Other ideas include a cheese-box wagon, trucks, engines and other pull toys can be made by using spools or sections of wood dowel for wheels. Cut outs of birds and ani mals or a stick horse can be made with a coping saw and mounted on wheels. Odd pieces of wood also lend themselves to a variety of block and peg toys, made attractive and easily cleaned with a coat of bright paint. Aprons always make acceptable gifts, and may be made from scraps from the scrap box or gaily printed feed sacks or a plain white sack combined with a print, or sacks dyed any desirable color and attrac tively made. Or an interesting de sign can be worked out with sev eral different pieces of materials as long as the colors harmonize. Knit beanies and other novellties always remain popular, as do the usual fruit puddings and food gifts. In fact, lt is surprising what at tractive gifts can be made using a little ingenuity, a little time and a few scraps and bits of material which everyone has about the house. Ideas, bulletins and instructions for making homemade Christmas things may be secured through the local FSA office, county agent or handicraft books and magazines from the city library, says Mrs, Makinson. LOCAL BULLS GET HIGH RATING IN JERSEY CLUB TEST C. M. Beaumont, Kingman Kolony Jersey breeder, has received word from the Sherman Farms that Brampton Basil Stan, bull recently purchased by Eugene Bair of the Nyssa section, and sire of a bull calf received by Mr. Beaumont in June, has been awarded the super ior sire rating. The information was telegraphed to Sherman Farms by the American Jersey Cattle club. Brampton Basil Stan's Index number Is 10956, milk 10958-per cent 5.4 and 592 pounds of fat on 10 tested daughters. “This Is an exceptional perform ance In a bull of his age and marks him an outstanding animal,” Mr. Beaumont said. "This also makes my bull an exceptional animal, having a sire rated excellent, sliver medal and superior sire on first tested heifers. According to their computing, my calf would be a 24- credlt bull lacking one credit of a five-star bull. Still more to his credit was a dam, one silver, one gold and a medal of merit.
