PAGE SEX THE NEWS JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. THURSDAY, NOV. 11, 1913 Governor Broughton Visits Bi Long Island War Plant 8 Advice For Care Of Clothes Given During war times women are more conscious of the value of clothes and more aware of the need for care with them, says Willie N. Hunter, Exten sion specialist in clothing at State College. For this reason, she offers the following practical advice. When driving or sitting and wear ing a coat, be sure to unbutton it all the way. This is to relieve strain on the seams and buttons, and to prevent stretching the back. A soft brush is a good aid in keep ing a suit or coat looking new. Brush after every wearing as the tiny, un seen dust particles that gather in wool will combine with the natural oils wool absorbs from the skin to destroy the fabric and make the coat look shabby early. If a napped fabric gets wet, wait until it dries to brush it. Then, Miss Hunter says, brush gently in the direc tion of the pile. However, around the collar and pockets a stiffer brush, as a whisk broi'm, is needed. Overloading pockets will stretch and strain them, and often tears the i corners. To prevent pencils and pens from jabbing holes, use clips and well fitted caps, she soys. , Should a coat or suit get soaked in : the rain, let it dry slowly in a well ventilated room away from the heat. ' After ft is dry, brush it well. Miss Hunter concludes her clothing advice with a word about hanging ! cl.thes. Tut a suit on a hanger as : soon as possible, don't lay it carelessly ! over a chair, and be sine it is set squarely on the hanjier before leaving NORTH CAROLINA'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE praised industry'! con tribution to the war effort when he law vital instruments in mass production on a tour of the huge new Long Island plant of the Spcrry Gyroscope Company, whose precision products are used by all branches of the Allied armed forces.

O- Food Fights For FreedomProgram Begins This Month The month of November marks the beginning of the 1944 Food Fights for Freedom program. The slogan for this program is, "Produce and Con serve, Share and Play Square." J. C. Hutchison, assistant soil con servationist of the Pee Dee-Cape Fear SJil conservation district points out that in the program as well as in the slogan, production comes first. Be ore we can conserve or share we must first produce. Numerous examples throughout the county indicate that such practices as terracing, onto ;: farming, strip Top ping, the establis! meint cf crop rota tions, and the development of pasture FIRE CALLS Phones: 2291 no answer, Call - 2631 land, will contribute greatly to the meeting of production goals. Of equal importance is the utiliza tion and management of idle or aban doned land. Nearly every farm in the county has some idle land on it.

"They did their work well, and they and the military authorities supervis ing them were very cooperative with our farmers," commented Dean I. O. Schaub, at State College. "There was absolutely no trouble from either the workers or the local people." The prisoners were stationed at three camps, at Tarboro, Windsor and Scotland Neck. Reports from the farm agents in the counties where the Ital ians worked show that other crops were saved also because the local help was released to work those fields. Prisoners at the Tarboro camp worked in Edgecombe, Nash and Pitt counties. Approximately 432 worked every day for 18 days for 141 differ ent farmers. They covered 2,532 acres and stacked 100,930 piles of peanuts. At the Windsor camp, 432 prisoners worked 21 days in Bertie, Martin, Hertford and Chowan counties. They were employed by 253 farmers on 3, 148 acres and completed 125,917 stacks. One hundred and sixteen Halifax, Northampton and Martin county far mers used the 451 prisoners at the Scotland Neck camp for 18 days. This group covered 3,026 acres of peanuts and 121,071 stacks. With the use of this labor, w hich the farmers called the best imported la bor they could have had, the peanut crop was harvested. Although the Italians knew n. thing about stacking I peanuts when they arrived, the conn Cider Vinegar 1 Producers of cider vinegar who are unable to get enough cider to keep their output at 1940-41 levels are now eligible to use part of the industrial alcohol supply in the production of vinegar.

The world cried "Peace". But'there was no peace. There was only a truce. This time there must be no truce. This time we are grimly determined to see the job through. We will make what ever sacrifice is necessary. We won't let it happen again. Armistice Day this year marks the beginning of a new call upon our pa triotism. A call directed especially to the people of this community. One of the gravest threats to our all-out war effort is a shortage of pulpwood. We who live in the pulp- wood-cutting areas are asked to make good that shortage. We will be paid for our wood, of course. But we are asked to do it as our special part in the war backing up our own boys in the service. In whose honor will you cut your cord? A son? A brother? A friend? Give us his name, and yours, so that both may be entered on the roll of honor. No boy shall die because we failed. FILL OUT THE COUPON AND MAIL TODAYI CHAIRMAN.
