Electricity is one, of the farmer's
' best all-around hired hands. It cap
) provide light, heat, and power to
1 make farming more productive and
: farm life more pleasant, providing
you know how to- put it to wogk.
Originally electr iti t yl was'
1 fhought of Ss a means of providing
-A few household conveniences such
"ar electric lights to replace ott
'■ lamps, electric irons to replace flat
1 irons, and electric washers to re
’ place hand washing. But today
1 electricity if a necessary part of
productive farming and efficient
'housekeeping.
• ’To get electricity to all the build
ings where it is needed, the barn,
the poultry house, tha shop, and
the pump house, an efficient dis
tribution system is needed. The
'modem method of planning this
distribution system is to find the
electrical loadcenter of the farm
and locate. the meter there with
'wires running from that point to t
the various buildings. , This loca
tion provides the greatest over-al!
economy in wiring cost. Adequate
wiring is necessary for the eco
' nomiral use of electrical equipment.
‘•■Not only does improper wiring .
'waste money and electrical energy,
' but the equipment you are trying
t r operate does not work as effi
ciently. as it should.
"It’s the little things that count”
. . . this is true in taking e&re of
electrical equipment we use regu
larly. The mixes, the toaster, the
•iron, the grill, the small appliances
that do little jobs every day, need a
certain amount of simple care.
Recently two Chowan ‘County
4-H club members, Ann Pearce and
Kay White, gave an electrical dem
onstration entitled “The Selection
arid Care of Electrical Appliances”
iirwhicK they demonstrated the use,
Care-and selection of an electric
iron and sandwich grill. In work

in most electric appliances was that
people did not read manufacturers’
directions and put the appliance in
water. These are twf> things that
should never be done to any appli

After the electric deirfbnstratjen,
Kay and Anne conducted a survey
to find out the percentages of cer

Out of ninety people, they were
surprised to find out that severity
of them had television Sets, there
was 100 per cent for lighting and
refrigerators and 26 per cent for

Varfety Offrfitty
Styles Offered In
Spring Millinery
Women Generally Are
Talking About Hat
Creations
“What’s my hat for Spring?”
That’s the big topic women are dis
cussing whenever they get togeth
er ail over America.
In restaurants, in beauty salons,
in supermarkets, on buses, in pow
der rooms, and across canasta and
breakfast tables, women are talk
ing about hats.
A hat does so much for a wo
man, something which many wo
’ men do not realise. Recently in
Paris, Raymond Barbas, president
of the couture group in Paris and
manager of the house of Patou,
said this about the power of hats:
“If one were to question a hun
dred men having seen a woman
once for a few miniites as to what
they remember about her, almost
all of them would mention the hat.”
That should be inducement enough
for any woman never to go out of
the house without a hat,‘he says.
There is much to choose from
this Spring as far as silhouette va
riety is concerned. There is one
thing that every fashion authority
agrees on —that the small hat worn
on the back of the head' has teml
porarily vanished from the fashioi)
picture. That doesn’t mean that
the 1956 Spring hat has to be enori
mous. Quite the contrary. There
are still many hats which are by
no means large, but they are not
the petite little caps that were si)
important last Spring.
New York millinery designer?
know that not every woman caij
wear a big hat. Women come iij
different sizes, so new looking hat?
in proportioned sizes have been de
signed so every woman can find q
size and shape suitable for her.
Here are some tips on choosing
your Spring hat from' Rubye Gra
ham, Fashipn Director of the Millii
riery Institute' of America. >
