TO PREPARE ENGINES FOR
WINTER
Antifreeze used last winter
and saved for re-use this win
ter should be tested. In time
antifreeze loses Its strength and
Its non-corrosive properties.
Near'.y all manufacturers of per
manent types of antifreeze have
made up acid and rust inhibi
tors for restoring resistance of
used antifreeze. In adding new
material, it is wise, the Office
of Defense Transportation says,
to use the same brand used in
the first place. A free pamphlet
entitled "Cooling System: Clean
ing, Flushing, Rust Prevention,
Antifreeze," that tells about the
caree of water-cooling systems
In engines used in automobiles
and farm equipment will be sent
to those who resuest it. Address:

GERMANY FAR FROM
"COLLAPSE"
The German Army has nearly
three times as many combat
divisions in the field today as
there were when the attock on
Poland began four years ago,
Major General George V. Strong,
assistant chief of staff G-2
(Military Intelligence) declared
recently. Discounting any like
lihood of an early collapse of
either Germany or Japan, Gen
eral Strong disclosed that the
Germans had replaced the 20 (
divisions lost at Stalingrad last
winter, and that the German
Luftwaffe was larger now than
In 1939. He said also that the
weapons the Germans are mak
ing are some cases better than
any which the United Nations
have. ,
ONE OrESTION QUIZ
Q. Why are point values set
so high on canned pineapple,
vacuum -packed whole kernel
com, tomato catsup, and other
Items?
A. OP A says that the point
value of each Item Is figured
on the basis of Its supply and
the amount that can be moved
Into consumption from month I
to month without draining the
supply to too low a level. Any
item which moves faster than
Its schedule movement Is In
creased In point value. If It
moves below schedule the point
value Is lowered.

DENTIST VISITS
MACONSCHOOLS
Dr. Steven# Here For Oral
Hygiene For Children
Dr. C. W. Stevens, dentist,
from the Oral Hygene Division
of tl^ North Carolina State
Board of Health, arrived In
Franklin, Monday, October 4, to
conduct a mouth health pro
gram in the white schools of
Macon county, for a period of
five weeks. He Is accompanied
by Mrs. Stevens and children.
Dr. Stevens, according to the
County Health Officer, has had
valuable training in the field of
children's dentestry. 'The first
program is now in progress at
now in progress at Slagle school,
next week ht will be at Iotla
school, and the future programs
will be announced.
Dr. Stevens, who has been our
school dentlnt for the past six
years, states that he is glad to
be back among his good friends
here, who have always given
him splendid cooperation.
The program is twofold in
purpose, explained Dr. Stevens.
It is both educational and cor
rective. It is educational in that
every child will be taught thg
advantage of a clean, healthy
mouth and the relationship of
a diseased mouth to diseases in
general. This Is accomplished
by m^ans of classroom talks,
charts, posters, and projects of
various kinds, including talks to
Parent-Teacher meetings and ci
vic organizations.
Every child in the schools vis
ited will have the opportunity
of an inspection of his mouth.
The child with a family dentist
is expected to go to him for
necessary treatment. If such a
child is found to have dental
defects, his parents will be noti
fied by mail. The underprivile
ged child under 13 years of age
may secure treatment frod the
visiting school dentist if desired.
However, due to shortage of
dentists, he will not be able to
visit some of the schools.
Dr. Stevens stated that the
Division of Oral Hygene was
created through the efforts of
the dentists of North Carolina
and carries with it their fullest
cooperation. This program Is a
part of the activities of the lo
cal health department and Is
highly endorsed by the board of
education. He regrets that he
will not be able to visit some
of the schools, due to lack of
assistance on account of war
conditions.

State College Hints
For Farm Homemalcers
By RUTH CURRENT
Enameled and granite ware
usually can be cleaned very
easily by washing with soap and
water, -but, when food is burn
ed or stuck to the pan, soak
the utensil in water before you
try to clean it. Avoid sharp
scrapers and do not use steel
wool or a coarse scouring pow
der on enamel ware. A mildly
alkaline cleaning powder will
not harm It and, sometimes,
boiling a weak solution In a
granite ware or enamel ware
pan will remove burnt -on food.
A warning about one of the
newer finishes, chromium plat
ing, will direct you in taking care
of household metals. Never un
der any circumstances use met
al polishes or any kind of clean
ing powder on a chromium fin
ish. It is a soft metal and the
plating wears off easily. It is
easy to keep it clean with Just
a damp cloth.
And next, a . reminder about
one of the older metal favorites
for kitchen utensils, iron. You
can scour iron with steel wool
and use a strong alkaline soap
to remove grease. One of the
most important rules about the
use of iron Is to always keep
it throughly" dry. Even a little
moisture may cause it- to rust.
If the iron does become rusty,
you can remove the rust with
steel wool. Put a thin coat of
saltless oil or fat over any iron
utensil, which you use only
once in a while. Then wrap it
in paper and store in a dry
place.
For galvanized buckets, tubs,
and garbage palls, you can saf
ely use coarse scouring powder.
Don't try to keep tin shiny
because If you keep shining it,
likely you will take off the thin
coating of tin. That exposes the
basic metal which may .rust.
Dry tin pans carefully for this
reason. If you want to take off
some particularly hard-to-re
move burnt food, try boiling a
little soda and water In the tin
oan. But never boll It longer
than five mlnutei at the moet.

Red Croat Makes
2 15,600* Bandages In Year
The surgical dressings group
of the Red Cross has just com
pleted Its first year. A check of
the records and roll shows that
in this time a total of 266 wo
men have shared In this work
with 9,225 hours to their credit,
completing approximately 215,
600 bandages.
The War Department has ap
pealed for a large' Increase in
this production record to the
women of the nation, In view
of the greatly Increasing need
on the battle fields. This chap
ter will have Its proportionate
share of this new need, and
this appeal goes to every woman
In Macon county who can rend
er this service to the sick and
wounded. The work room is

At The Theatre
There have been films of men
in battle, fighting with the
weapons and against the foes
of this war, but it has remain
ed for a story of women to per
sonalize the struggle in terms
wholly wlthing the grasp of the
people at home. This story of
nurses on Bataan captures and
transmits the emotional exper
ience of the last bitter days
of Philippine fighting. That it
does so yithout portraying a
battle, with small recourse to
melodrama and yet without) soft
ening the hard core of fact, is
proof of the worthy handling
of an heroic subject. And the
gallantry of the American girls,
the natural intermingling of hu
mor and pathos, the poignancy
of the love story, suggest a
strong popular appeal that
should make itself felt aj^the
box office. See Claudette Col
bert, Paulette Ooddard and Ver
onica Lake star in their great
est role yet. See "So Proudly
We Hail" at the theatre today.
It's for customers, not critics,
to say which one if any of a
series of comedies so successful
as the Bud Abbot-Lou Costello
collections in the best of the
lot, but it's not outside the Pro~ ,
vince of the exhibitor to tell
the customers that this one did
to and for the Hollywood press
reviewers more than any since
"Buck Privates" sprawled them
in the aisles. The ladles and
gentlemen of the press, of the
profession, and the public, lau

and on Friday evenings for
business women and those who
cannot work In the afternoon.
The need is urgent and Ma
con county has never fallen
down on a quota.
COMMUNITY ROBBERY
Fire in the woods kills timber,
injures labor, stops Industry,
robs the community, increases
the taxes, and, worst of all,
handicaps the war effort.
PIGS
Due to the shortage of feeds,
growers should fully utilize tem
porary pastures of soybeans, lespe
deza, mellet and similar crops in
growing out their la.te spring pigs,
says Extension Swine Specialist,
E. V. Vestal.
