The affair was held at the home of Miss E. Mabel Frame, 507 N. Grand ave.

Schuster was born in Constantinople, 'the child of Russian parents. He received his early musical education in Russia where ha was known as a child prodigy. After the Russian revolution he continued his studies in Germany and at the age of 17 became solo cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic. The cellist is appearing with the Waukesha Symphony orchestra by his own choosing, his contribution, as he calls it. He is at present staying with friends in Milwaukee.

His next destination, after leaving Waukesha is Duluth. and then to Utah and Seattle, Wash. After his return to California, he. with his wife and eight year old son, John, will go to Europe where he will go on his fourth tour. On this trip he expects to appear in Scandinavia, England, Holland and Switzerland.

An interesting incident occurred Sunday afternoon. When the honor guest met Florizel Reuter, the concert master, he said "Aren't you Florizel?" and they realized they had met before, in Germany. Mrs. Ronald Christgau and Mrs Roland Schrupp were in charge of the arrangements with other members of the auxiliary acting as hostesses also. Pouring at the coffpe table were the Mmes.

Leonhard Rempe, Hans Kramer, Milton Weber and Max Hofmann. their February meeting on Wednesday evening. Leaders Mrs. Otto Kohlhaas and Mrs. Harold Murray discussed and demonstrated the initial steps in "Furniture Refinishing." The group learned that an antique is valuable not only because it is old but because the design and wood used are beautiful.

To be worth refinishing the piece of furniture must have interesting design, good wood and sound construction. In the demonstration various brands of paint and varnish remover were applied and compared as to effectiveness. Members who brought pieces of furniture worked at removing the old finish. As a final step the surface was thoroughly cleaned with denatured alcohol. Much surprise and satisfac- tion was expressed at the discovery of the beauty of the wood under the old finishes.

The remaining steps of refinishing will be demonstrated at the next meeting, March 17, at the home of Mrs. Michael Rucinski, 302 Western ave. The business meeting included discussion of club participation in a home baking booth at the Waukesha Symphony Fair and enrollment of interested members in a chorus for Waukesha County Homemakers. Co-hostess was Mrs. Clifford Carlson.

IRON-ON DESIGNS IN GAY COLORS Schools, Parents Relationships Grow With PTA Cooperation By MRS. ALICE E. BREHM 'Committee member of the Waukesha County Child Guidance Clinic There is no doubt that the over seven million members of the PTA in this country are enjoying satisfying relationships with schools and teachers. Sometimes parents respond at first only from a sense of duty because it is "the thing to do." However, as they learn what is going on and contribute their energies and ideas, they get a pleasing sense of tying into something larger than themselves and beneficial to the smooth running of their schools. In America, education has an A-l rating.

Our faith in education is evidenced by the fact that our school system never stops growing. We started with free public elementary education. Then we saw that free secondary education was necessary to give every child a chance. Now, we have free public kindergartens, and people's faith in education is creating a demand for free nursery schools. Some communities even maintain their local colleges so that young people can have four years of education beyond high school.

In his new book, "Effective Home-School Relations." James L. Hymes says he believes the practice of planning the PTA program for the whole year ahead may be efficient, but leaves no opportunity to study issues of the moment that are bound to arise from tame to time. He also feels that local communities do not always need to get "famous" speakers as an attraction to draw out the attendance. Sometimes some member in the community, "golden-tongued or stammering" stimulate thinking on a local problem that needs discussion and solution. "People will stay home despite the most famous names.

Or they will sit, look, listen. and forget," he warns and adds: "Primarily, people want the chance to solve problems that matter to them."

To be sure your soil is ready or a dry summer it must be prepared by adding humus; such as oak leaves, peat moss, cattle manure, 'buckwheat hulls (used as mulch) or ground corn cobs. Mrs. Fischer then mentioned the a i commercial fertilizers which may be used to lighten a clay soil. To determine your soil dig a portion two feet deep. It should have a dark colored level of humus about seven inches deep at the top.

It is important to hava soil which is aerated either by earthworms that form tiny tunnels in the soil or by commercial products. When this has been done Ihe gardener may feel reasonably assured that the ground will hold the moisture it does receive instead of drying off before the plants are benefited. Mrs. Roy Brower discussed the problem of watering restrictions, the dangers of overwatering and signs of hunger in plant life. By studying the color of leaves one can determine whether a plant is being supplied with the i amount of water.

When over watered the plant is subject to uprooting by wind and the growth of fungus. A plant may absorb just so much moisture and then becomes water-logged which destroys the root system and can not send up water to the rest of the plant. All the members exchanged the names of plants they would like to grow and each one will plant the species she suggested and the one drawn. It will be interesting in the future to have reports on the progress made. Nursing Is Subject Of Speaker's Talk Mrs.
