'REGISTRATION DAYS - AT COMMUNITY HIGH , SCHOOL AUGUST 27 - 28 ALEX. GALBRArnr TTT SPEAK STATE FAIR A McHenry man, Alex Galbraith, supervisor of horses at the Pine Tree farms, has been invited to speak at the national Percheron show at Minnesota state fair, St. Paul, August 24 j to September 2. He has been asked to discuss "The I Correct Percheron Head" at a conference on "Head, Neck and Slope of Shoulder." The conference is one of a series or Percheron body build. Other sessions will be held on action, body conformation and the importance of quantity and quality of bone. These "breed type conferences," at which the leading horse experts point out which type i horse is best suited to modem farm needs, were introduced at the National Percheron show in 1937, and have proved popular with progressive horse j breeders. I Mr. Galbraith, one of the most ! prominent horsemen in the midwest, is chosen to addresis the group because of his wide experience in breeding and raising Percherons. said Ellis McFarland, secretary of the Percheron Horse association, .in naming speakers for the show.

Tuesday, September 3, the day after Labor Day, is the opening day for the McHenry Community High school, while the registration will take place the latter part of August. V The seniors are asked to enroll for their last year on .Tuesday morning, August 27, and the juniors are to put in their appearance on the afternoon of the feme day.' The sophomore reg- | istration day is Wednesday morning, ! August 28, and the freshmen will report during the afternoon of that day. All students are urged to report according to the above schedule. Where the schedule is not convenient, students may report any convenient period of the two days. This is especially true where rural pupils are (•oncerned. Should more than one student come from the same home, they are permitted to register at the same time to save duplication of driving to town. Registration days are Very important to the school. Several matters are taken care of in that time. Plenty of time and advice is given toward the selection of the proper course to take during the winter. Second hand texts are sold and the student purchases all of his texts for the winter. A third important duty is to. be performed this year during registration. Each rural pupil will be asked to properly locate his residence on a school map which has ben prepared in the office. From thi^ residence report the office force will prepare possible routes for the transportation of pupils this fpll. A new subject is being introduced into the freshman course this year and the freshman students who plan to go to college are advised to take up English, algebra. Latin and either home management or general science.

Sandpaper Old Flows ^ Old shellacked floors that are worn in spots may be renewed by sandpapering the worn areas with fine sandpaper, then cleaning the spot with a cloth dampened with alcohol. Two thin coats of shellac should finally be brushed over the spot, "fading" the brush strokes towards the edges where they overlap the old shellac.
