Villas Wonen Learn [About Gardening VILLAS — A group of women in the Villas interested in raising Victory Gardens this summer met with Miss Lois G. Hamilton, county home demonstration agent, to learn how to prepare the soil, how to plant seeds, cultivate, mulch and apply insecti-

cides.

Distribution Of Funds Explained To overcome misunderstanding about the distribution of funds earned by Cape May High School's senior class, John W. Utx, of the high school faculty, this week explained that part of the money would be turned over . to the school activity fund and the balance would be distributed equally among the members of the graduating class. Normally the money would have been used for a Washington trip, but due to war-time conditions, plans for that event have been cancelled. With approximately $500 _ the class treasury, Utz said the present plan is to distribute all in excess of three dollars per pupil among the members of the class, with the school's share — approximately $150—being retained for the activity fund. Members of the class may ceive their shares either in bonds or stamps or may use their shares for the purchase of caps and gowns, graduation announcements, name cards, group pictures or similar purposes. Funds in excess of those used for those purposes will be distributed in the form of bonds or stamps, he explained.
