Clarence Browning, who has How To Make Washing Machines Last Longer Raleigh. December 17th~"Wash the right clothes load for your cashing maehine--Don’t overload it and strain the motor or blow a fuse.’ This recommendation vo homemakers is just one of the many important points included in the illustrated pamphlet, “How to Make Your- Washing Machine Last Longer,” released by the Office of Price Administration and the Bu reau of Home Economics of the Department ot Agriculture, it was said here today by Mrs. Bulh Vick Everett, consumer-relations representative of the North Caro lina State Office of Price Admin istration. Free copies of the leaflet may be obtained by writing to either of the two agencies in Washington, D. C. or to the Office of War In formation, Raleigh. The materials, machinery and manpower that formerly weer used to make household articles now are burning out weapons of war. tite pamphlet reminds homemakers. Proper use and care or these ar ticles are the homemaker’s weap ons in the war on the home front. By prolonging th* life of her washing machine, for example, she can save not only rubber and met al, but clothes, soap, electricity, fuel and other things that make up the nation’s wartime resourc es. Here are a few rules of care se lected from tne publication’s de tailed and illustrated instructions. 1. Know your washing machine. Read the directions that came with it, or write to tire manufacturer for a copy. Directions will tell you whether or not to oil the machine, and then, where and how to use the oil. The name plate on mo tor states the kind of current it requires. 2. Make a periodic checkup to see that uil bolts and screws are tight. Have the machine looked ov er by a serviceman at least once u year. Repair and replace worn parts before they give out entire ly. Oil the casters frequently to protect them from rust. 3. Take care not to spill oil on rubber parts, because oil ruins rubber. Remove oil from rubber been stationed in Africa is visit ing his mother, Mrs. Alice Brown ing. WEDDING Miss Mable Collier of Roanoke Rapids to Walter Paul Little on December 11, at Richmond, Va. At .oine, Newport News, Va. parts promptly with soap and wa ter. If the machine tips and spills oil from the inside, have it check ed by a serviceman. 4. Before washing, see that the machine is level and steady. If the washer has been standing in a cold place, bring it into a warm room for a few hours or let the tub stand full of warm water for an Hour. Otherwise the oil or grease may be too stiff to lubricate the imachanism as it runs. Besldas, hot water poured into a very cold tub may crack the enamel. 5. Make sure the wringers are set to the right pressure for the thickness of the clothes. Too heavy a load may lock the rolls and even strip gears. The minute you finish washing, release the pressure to save the rubber. 6. Go eusy on the drier. To re duce vibration, pack clothes a few at a time so they are even all around. 7. Keep drains clear of lint, and surfaces clean and dry. After using the machine and allowing it to dry, keep it covered. You can buy or make a dustproof cover that slips over the machine. A waterpro-f cover should be used if the ma chine is kept on an open porch or other exposed place. “How to Make Your Washing Last Longer,’’ is the second 'n a series prepared by the Bureau of Home Economics and issued joint ly with the Office of Price Ad ministration. “How to Make four Refrigerator Last Longer,” was the first folder to be published. Others to follow deal with h .ise hold rubber articles, gas and elec tric stoves, and ironers. This sc ries is planned to include a va riety of subjects interesting to homemakers in wartime, who de pend upon appliances and articles that are no longer being made or art being made in small quantities.
