Goforth of 206 East King St., all
of Kings Mountain, recently parti
?ated in the largest Pacific
'leet training exercises held since
the Korean outbreak.
The exercises, called "Lex Bak
er One", took place off the coast
of Southern California. Over 70
ships and 15,000 men of the Navy
and the newly activated 3rd Ma
rines participated.
Reality was added to the mock
war games by assuming that low
er California and several islands
off the shore had been captured
by an "aggiessor" enemy. The
Navy's problem was the retaking
of the enemy-held islands through
amphibious assaults.
Ships of all types were used in
the exercises including subma
rines and aircraft carriers.
"Aggressor" submarines and
planes made repeated "attacks"
ir. harassing the task force, add
ing even more reality to the ope
ration.

Keeping W/iife Curtains White
Have your rayon glass curtains
turned yellow after washing and
using a household bleach? If so,
they must have been treated with
a special resin finish to make
them more serviceable and keep
them tjrisp. The chlorine of the
bleach combines with the finish
and turns the fabric yellow.
Is there any way to make these
curtains white again? Luckily
there is a remedy. Soak the cur
tains in a sodium sulfite (you can
purchase sodium sulfite at your
drugstore) and warm water solu
tion. one teaspoon of sodium sul
fite to one gaillon of water. The
action can be hurried along by
adding two to three tablespoons
of white vinegar to each gallon of
the solution. After soaking the I
curtains in this solution until they
lx?eome white again, rinse well.
Nowadays the wisest thing to
do l>efore laundering white. glass
curtains or any clothes that have
a special finish is to look for a tag !
saying whether or not chlorine
bleach can he used.
'Sprint/ Tonic' For i/oHse- Plants
Toward spring many house,
plants begin to look droopy, as if
they lacked the proper food sup
ply. Oftentimes, repotting will in
jure the root system and occa
sionally the plant will die. Try
shouldering off your plants and
not repotting. This merely means
removing the top one-third of the
soil from the plant container.
since .It is probably depleted of
most of its food content. Add a
fresh soil mixture to fill up the
pot. In this way no roots are in-,
iured and the plant has all bene
fits of repotting without the risk
involved. r-"' .. V-' ?
