And we glory in the fact that many of our teachers do come up with something different, something Reed said few county school have the full cooperation of its high schools as does that of Oneida County.

"Show mg another county group in which any teacher, either 'from the smallest group or the largest is. encouraged to and does get up on the floor to express freely his or her thoughts on any matter ent educational, trends throughout the state. He told a Daily News reporter that Oneida County ranked high in the state in progressive education. The mornirig session of the institute was held in the county court house. A series of group meetings were held iii the Pelican School during the afternoon.

One of these discussion groups, "Inf6rming the Public ovi the Job of the Schools," was led by Principal Paul Alfonsi of Minocqua. The group agreed that the school's responsibility for the conduct of children must of necessity stop after school hours. But it also was agreed that in small towns the school does have an "interest" in the welfare of its pupils and that the school and the parents should seek closer cooperation in the after-school activities of young people. Two Sentenced in Vitas Circuit Court brought up." School district reorganization has been a'part of, the county forvthe past 25 years, Reed added. During this period, there have been 16 reorganizations of school districts in the county, and he pointed out that seven towns surrounding Rhine- now are engaged in a reorganization study.

"Oneida County is being fairly foresighted in the matter of school buildings," Reed "Arbor Vitae-Woodruff has added sufficient building space for another few years. Pelican has built sufficiently for time being. Pine Lake has built all it can until there is more assessed valuation some bonds are paid off. Newbold and Stella have building plans probably ready to go next year. A new high school is planned in the foreseeable future in the Rhinelander is looking; ahead to school addition." Reed also paid tribute to the county system's public relations program and its bus drivers' About 15 of the latter have'been with the first one 3n Woodruff drawing 150 persons.

-Vocabulary Cited. The county superintendent" added, that there is always room for improvement. "It tests show our seniors to be comparatively weak in vocabulary and that we should work on that. "If vocabulary weakness, if. follows? Lesser ability in conversation, in public speaking, in 1 various forms of literary work, in many types of inter-communication." Reed said the tests were made by Robert.

In staying execution of a Wau- mn prison term of one to two ears, Judge Boileau said he was consideration to the fact hat Chapman has spent 50 days jail and has a family of four er. "When these tests show that pupils, seniors, mind you, can read words'without getting the meaning of the indications are that we should scrutinize our teaching of reading from grades one to twelve." Reed suggested that Potter be invited to attend the next meeting of the teachers' association policy committee so that the problem can be discussed more thoroughly.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says he spends 125 days a year away from his job. That is more than a third of a year and instead of spending it on a hammock or by the fire, he is busy making or fixing things around "the house.

According to one of the nation's leading building materials supply magazines, he and his wife spent $3Vfe billion last year on building material, paint and tools. That's an average of $75 for every household in the United There in a nutshell is the measure of today's "do-it-yourself" mcvement, one of the great business and social phenomenas of the sost war years. Sociologists, businessmen and editors, all have score of answers ready to explain' why Mr. -and Mrs. America are spending so much time in productive work on their homes, their gardens and in their workshops.

All Income Panels. Mere leisure, a desire to get out from under the tensions of the atomic age, increasing mechanization and high pressure on the job all these are said to be contributing factors. But underlying this is pride of ownership in the home. And in the past 50 years, the 'census shows, the per cent of dwellings actually owned by the people who live in them has jumped from 37 to 53 per cent. The "do-it-yourself urge" applies through all income groups, from the highly paid New York apartment dweller with a table-saw stashed away in his closet to the suburban home-owner with a completely equipped workshop in his basement.

Even bank presidents and lawyers can point with pride to the things they make at home. But it takes more than an urge. Without the inventive genius of American industry, Mr. and Mrs. America would still be working with primitive tools and methods.

Now easy-to-use building materials like big panels of plywood that speed building, new floor coverings like asphalt tile that go down quickly, and new paints like those that dry in an hour are typical of the parade of products that make it possible for the average man to do his own work. All Purpose Panels. Last year, lumber dealers sold about 300 million square feet of plywood over the counter to home-owners and small buyers for everything from a new subfloor in kitchen or a newly paneled attic to a fence in the back yard or a lightweight car-top skiff. No other building material fits so many around-the-house jobs or home-shop projects! One major tool manufacturer says more than 40 per cent of his sales are to home-owners. In 1942, the paint industry estimated that 90 per cent of its materials went to professionals.

Today, amateurs buy 75 per cent of all paint sold and professionals pick up only 25 per cent. I According to many leaders in the building materials and tool field, this is only a beginning. Manufacturers today are making it easy for home-owners to do their own work with complete step-by-step instructions to the tyro on what, where and how to use their products. Easy-tb-follow plans for plywood built-in storage units, indoor and outdoor furniture, boats and shop projects published by the plywood manufacturers and available at all retail lumber dealers, are typical cf what industry is doing to help Rugged Simplicity Makes Room for Man of the House Comfort and masculine atmos- phere, cover walls and floor cork. This material has an trite-" resting texture and men like its coloring the woodsy browns of nature, ranging from light oak dark walnut.

The tiles are made from natural cork and thus an added value as insulation agnin- st both noise and heat. Colors For DO-IT-YOURSELF man spends a third of a year away from h'is factory, and'his office. Experts'say this leisure time is reason for tremendous spread of do-it-yourself building. Easy-to-use materials like fir plywood, other new products, project plan folders have also stimulated more home projects. Old Information Booth Moved Out The old Chamber of Commerce information booth on the north end of the City Hall triangle has disappeared as a downtown landmark.

How should paint be mixed for use in a spray gun? A Paint for a spray gun should be thinner than paint to be ap plied by brush.

Generally, paint that has the consistency of thin oil is about right for a gun. Uniform consistency is important, too. Unmixed pigment will stick in a fine nozzle tip. After thorough stirring, continue the mixing process by pouring the paint back and forth from one can to another. I heat my house with gas and, consequently, my chimney doesn't shoot out sparks.

Is fire- resistant roofing still necessary for safety? A Yes. Sparks from outside sources are as a threat as ever. Brush fires and bonfires shoot 'tip sparks which can be carried long distances by the wind. Fire- resistant shingles are suggested for protection from the flying-spark hazard. How can calcimine be removed? A Calcimine will wash off if warm water is used.

A weak solution of household ammonia usually will make the job 'go faster. On particularly stubborn spots, scrub with a wire brush. The electrical circuits in my are of 15-ampere capacity. How can I determine the amperage of appliances and electric light bulbs in order not to overload the circuit? A To find the ampere-consumption of an electrical device, divide watts by volts. For example, a 660-watt appliance on a 110-volt circuit will use amperes.

A 100- watt bulb wil consume slightly less than. 1. ampere. For a 15-ampere circuit, total ampere-consumption can't be more than 15. and to remove the sleeping-room atmosphere, in case it must do double-duty both as study and bedroom, a bed without head or footboard should be used.

By covering it with fabric which matches the draperies, decorative unity is at-, tained. Straightforward Furniture. Furniture should follow simple, straightforward lines. Chairs should be deep and roomy.

In a sunny room, blues, grays and greens are restful.

For the ceiling, a stronger or lighter shade ot the wall color, or a contrasting color, is recom- mended by interior designers. A capcious wall magazine rack and a desk with a broad work surface should be included. A desk may be built-in across one corner, filling it completely. Drawets urt- der one end, open shelves on the other side, will keep papers and frequently-used books in easy reach. Wall cabinets above fne desk, a comfortable, brightly-upholstered desk chair and a lamp complete the corner.
