Shoes Are Important
To Ordinary Citizen
>
Ordinary citizens are going to
have to depend more and more on
shoe leather, now that tires are be
ing rationed. Miss Julia Mclver, as
sistant extension clothing specialist
of N. C. State College, says this calls
for better protection of shoes.
"There are several ways to make
shoes wear longer," Miss Mclver de
clared, "and in this war emergency
we must make all things last. Thous
ands of shoes come to an early end
because they lack care."
The home economist says that pol
ishing shoes regularly isn't just a
cranky notion. Polishing shoes feeds
the leather, makes it pliable, and
protects it.
"Hie life of literally thousands of
pairs of shoes is shortened by failure
to dry them properly," said Miss Mc
lver. "Water-proofing shoes helps
protect them, but doesn't take the
place of rubber overshoes or rubber
boots for walking in water, soft mud
or slushy snow. Shoes which become
wet should be dried slowly, not too
close to an open fire, and never In
a hot place like the top of a radiator
sg-r in the oven.
"TTie right way to dry shoes," the
clothing specialist explained, "is this:
First, wash off all mud with a damp
cloth and wipe the surface as dry as
possible. Oil the shoes lightly all ov
erwith castor oil. Rub it in well.
Straighten the counters, heels, toes
and vamps if they need it. Then
stuff the shoes with crumpled paper,
or, on the farm, with oats to keep

Poultry Equipment
should Be Ordered
Poultrymen, probably to a greater
xtent than any other farm group,
an conserve critical war materials
>y using substitutes for metal equip
ment. according to Ci. Tom Scott, of
Itate College, chairman of the North
Carolina USDA War Board
Allocations of materials for man
facture of poultry equipment were
ixed at a relatively low rate and
his makes it especially urgent that
oultrymen place orders now so that
lanufacturers will know what types
f equipment to make from the lim
led materials available, Chairman
?cott said.
Immediate placing of orders also
/ill prevent delays which may oc
ur if equipment is ordered late in
le season, when transportation fa
ilities have become over loaded
/ith war materials.
In general, Scott said, materials
or manufacturing new farm ma
hinery have been restricted to an
verage of about 83 per cent of the
laterials used for similar purposes
1 1940, while use of materials for
taking repair parts is permitted at

Ceilings Are Being
Placed On Prices
Folks who've been "hitting the
ceiling" at encountering higher
prices may be consoled slightly in
the news that ceilings are now hit
ting back at prices. Leon Henderson's
OPA has been nailing a lot ot roofs
over manufacturers' and wholesal
ers' price schedules the last week or
so. Women's nylon hosiery, radios
and phonographs, and tea are three
of the most conspicuous items thus
far In most cases the maximums are
based on prices of the Oct. 1-15 per
iod. While none of the orders was
directed official at retail prices, the
action at least gives the ordinary
consumer something of a guide as
to what he should expect, or accept,
in the way of price tag boosts when
he goes to the store. In fact, Hender
son vouchsafed a warning that retail
prices on nylon hose were already
"as high as they can be permitted tu
go" and "requested" radio makers to
hold any changes in their suggested
retail prices to figures providing no
more than normal mark-up
