Silk and silk-like fabrics are noted for their drapeability and luxurious hand (feel). Take these characteristics into consideration when selecting a pattern. Silk: Absorbent, comfortable, has excellent dyeability and luster, excellent hand and drapeability and has fair to good wrinkle resistance. Pi lyester: Very durable, good wrinkle resistance, not absorbent and oily stains will be difficult to remove. Triacetate: Excellent drapeabili ty, can wrinkle, weakened by direct sunlight. Nylon: Very strong, static elec tricity may be a problem. Check fabric bolt labels; all silk and silk-like fabrics are not of the On the Front Burnei Alice Pettitt Home Economics Agent same quality. Hand, texture, coun try of origin and fiber content are clues to quality. Whatever its origin, fabric should drape well and be of the proper weight for your sewing project. If you choose a lightweight fabric, select a pattern that is not overly fitted. Loose-fitting styles that allow the fabric to drape are particularly good. Tailored, fitted styles should be used with medium to suitweight silks and silk-like fabrics. Try to avoid excessive refitting during sewing. Make alterations on the paper pattern whenever possible. For more information about sewing silk, please call our office at 875-2162.

Prescribed burns can help forest This winter is a good time to "fireproof" your southern pine stands by having them carefully prescribed burned, according to Hoke County Forest Ranger Robert Jones. The primary benefit of prescrib ed fire is that it can reduce wildfires by controlling the build up of hazardous fuels, Jones notes. Prescribed fire can also prepare sites for reforestation, im prove wildlife habitat, control understory hardwoods, and im prove appearance and access for hunting and harvesting. The use of prescribed fire in the woods is not a new concept. Early settlers learned from the native In dians that fires could control hard wood brush, vines and needle ac cumulation in pine stands, allow ing better access for hunting. However, early fires were rarely controlled. Having seen many millions of acres devastated by un controlled fires, forest managers in the early 1900's fought back with campaigns to exclude fire from the woods. An example is the very ef fective and continuing campaign of Smokey the Bear. Today's foresters are no less concerned with wildfire. But, they now know that proper use of con trolled fire is one key to creating and maintaining healthy southern pine forest, and protecting those forest from catastrophic losses. Prescribed burning is now established as an effective tool in forest resource management. In addition to being useful, prescrib ed fire is one of the least expensive management , options ? much cheaper (at a few dollars per acre) than mechanical or chemical alter natives. Jones cautions that prescribed fire is a complex tool though, re quiring proper planning and careful execution by trained, ex perienced personnel. Factors to be considered, in addition to season of year, include the area to be burned, boundaries, weather con ditions, slope and type of soil, amount of moisture^ content of Willie Featherston County Extensior Chairman Extension News . fuel, and whether to ignite by hand, tractor or even helicopter. Impro""*r|y cc n burns are a liability hazard in addition to their negative impact on air, water and soil quality, aesthetics and wildlife. A few counties prohibit outdoor burning except in specific situa tions. In others, particularly with hazardous organic soils, special permits must be obtained from N.C. Forest Service personnel prior to burning to control smoke pollution. In all cases a free burn ing permit is advised. Here in Hoke County, landowners contact the County Extension Office at 875-3461, or County Forest Ranger Robert Jones at 875-2808 for further information about prescribed burning and for assistance with the burn. TAX LAWS Our tax laws say it's up to you to prove your returns are correct. So play it safe by keeping a copy of your income tax returns and all supporting information. Generally, additional tax can be assessed only up to three years after the tax return date - so you'll want to save your returns at least that long. However, if you fail to report one-fourth of your gross income for any one year, the IRS can assess taxes up to six years after that return was due. In the case of a fraudulent return - or one that wasn't filed - the IRS can assess and collect taxes at any time. And you lose benefits from tax options, such as income averaging, if you don't have your tax returns for the past four years. FINANCIAL PLANNING Businesses need a financial plan to keep them on target. And your family would do well to have a financial plan for the same reason. One of the first things you'll need to do is to set down some lifetime goals. Next to each goal, write in the date for achievement and the cost. Goals might include a new house, education for the children or a vacation. Then look over that list, carefully. Do you have short, intermediate and long-term goals? When you achieve these goals will you have provided for your family's wants and needs? Did you build in finan cial growth? If it looks as though you won't be able to reach all your goals, you may have to rank them in order of importance and drop the less im portant ones. Alternatives might be to earn more money or to cut back on current spending so you can achieve future goals. 4-H'ers learn about phones By KJmberiy Potter At the February meeting of the Hillcrest 4-H club Brenda Dougherty, a representative of Carolina Telephone, showed a film on communications.
