Your choice of a third bedroom, den,
or separate dining room makes this an
ideal home for the growing family.
By CHARLES BENNETT
and LANNY RAMSAY
Last week we told you the plans
for the high school teachers for
the summer. The grade school
teachers, too, plan to use the sum-
mer months to further their edu-
cational training.
Mrs. Flonnie Guthrie says that
she plans to take life easy this
summer caring for her husband.
Mrs. Gladys Lawrence is going
to Anchorage, Alaska. This trip
is a semi-pleasure and semi-educa-
tional trip. She plans to stay from
two to four weeks in our fiftieth
state.
Mrs. Margaret Campbell Is plan-
ning a short trip; then she will
possibly attend a workshop or col-
lege.
Miss Virgie Beth Hughes and
Mrs. Vera Mitchell may spend part
of the summer at E.T.S.C., taking
advantage of the library there.
Mrs. Mary Duncan plans to
spend the summer picking peaches
and keeping her two sons out of
trouble.
Mrs. Kidwell's plans are indefi-
nite, hut she may attend a school
or workshop.
