Food Sales in Open Air A' study club in Barnstable county, Mass., formed by the home demon- stration agent under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture in connection with the State Agricul- tural college at Amherst, held all summer food exhibits or food sales in front of the town hall at Province- town. To attract and increase in- terest demonstrations and lectures have been given. Recipes for the conservation of foods on exhibit also have been given out. Spoiled Potatoes Good for Starch Starch in potatoes is not destroyed by the common decay-producing fungi or by freezing. It has been found in recent studies conducted by the United States Department of Ag- riculture in laboratory tests that it is' possible to recover most of the starch from frozen and rotten po- tatoes, which lead specialists of the department to suggest that an at- tempt should be made to salvage the great quantities of spoiled stock now rejected and dumped on the terminal markets. Desclating dreads, vague anxieties and lively imaginations of coming disaster are not listed with "The be considered are: culosis; (c) city planning; (d) hous- ing; (e) garbage; (f) water supply; dependent and delinquent. of community. opinion throughout these problems. Do this by propagan- da, stimulating contributions and ral- lying volunteers to existing agencies and should insist on adequate appropria- tions for city, . work, and the enforcement of social legislation".

The department therefore urges that the social serv- ice chairmen throughout the state renew their efforts, as promoting the work for their communities will be BUSINESS MEN SEEK [ ROAD IMPROVEMENTS | The meeting of the New Trier] Commercial association held at the | Village Hall in Wilmette on Decem- | ber 11 had a fair attendance. A re- solution was adopted and a committee | appointed by the president to peti- tion the County and Bridge hii ig sioncrs of the County Joard of Cook County to pave with concrete, Lake avenue [rom Ridge to Milwau- kee avenue.
