The bonus is $50 above the bonus approved for this year, giv- ing most of the teachers a general increase of $175 over last year.

The school board received notice at the last meeting that the program would be discontinued by the health board because of the lack of funds. Cost of the project was estimated at about $250 a year. Members of the education board protested to Che health board the fact that no notice of the action had been provided in the school budget, but funds will^be made avail- able to continue the project. Schick testing was started in the schools here about 20 years ago and the Metuchen system was among the first in the state to develop a full program, and in order to give full protection to the children of the community, the board decided to also include children in the Parochial schools and pre-school children as well as all children living in the borough or attending school here. The test is voluntary, each pupil being required to get consent of his parents or guardians, but in the past cooperation has been practically 10Q per cent.

He said some Korean customs were "backward.” Instead of re- moving their hats when entering a house, they remove their shoes. In- stead of the babies and small chil- dren being dressed in white, they are dressed in bright colors. Their parents and Ciders wear the white costumes. And the brides do not wear white gowns, but are attired 10 years before the Wright brothers had tinkered a new contraption into flying a few feet over the North Carolina sands, and a year later Glenn Curtis startled the natives of Baltimore by flying a big kite all the way across the city without falling.

    Q. How can I stop the board used for rolling dough and slicing from sliding all over the place?

    A. A damp cloth or dish towel under the board will prevent sliding.

    V /Q. Can you make salad dressing using drippings?

    A. Drippings from uncured meat such as pork, chicken, or beef fat make a wonderful cooked salad dressing. It is like the old fashioned dressing served with coleslaw.

    Q. Can you serve spinach the same way as wilted lettuce ?

    A. Wilted spinach is very good. Just make the same hot dressing you serve with lettuce and pour it over the spinach. Chop the spinach coarsely before adding the dressing, and, of course, use fresh young spinach.

    Q. Can I use cocoa when a recipe calls for chocolate?

    A. Use two tablyspoons of cocoa, 3/4 of a tablespoon of fat for each square of chocolate called for in the recipe, and you’ll get the same result.
