Some years ago there was a
girl in Columbus, Georgia, who
was runing errands for a beauty
shop for $1.50 a week. She was
eleven years old.
She took some of the money
she had saved and hired one of
the women to give her lessons in
beauty doctoring. She did not
have enough to pay her the full
price so she told the teacher she
would pay her after she got a
job. She took the lessons and by
the time she was thirteen, she
was a full-fledged beauty opera
tor. A girl who was able to do all
that deserves a name, and here
it is: Jacqueline Cochran.
She went to New York and got
a job in a beauty parlor on Fifth
Avenue where the pay was pretty
bftndsome. Then she put into
practice what she had learned in
Georgia. She saved some of her 1
money; when vacation time
came, she got the manager of the
beauty shop to let her have two
weeks in addition to her regular *
-Vacation, and this he agreed to
do.
So with the money she saved,
?he went to Roosevelt Field, Long
Island. and signed up for flying
lessons. The flying instructor
thought it was about the craziest
thing he'd ever heard of ? a girl
working in a beauty shop plunk
ing down her money to take fly
ing lessons. But the girl knew
what she was doing.
She liked flying so well that
she decided to go into it in a big
way. So she moved to California,
where she thought living would
be cheaper, and got another job
making beauties out of common
place-looking people. Once more
she saved her money, and now
took an advanced flying course.
A girl who had to get her monev
this hard way meant to learn as
much as she could, and she learn
ed it.
Six years after she walked out
from behind the beauty counter
on Fifth Avenue, she won a na
tional Air Derby. When all the
prize money was added up, her
share amounted to $12,000. Sure
was better in the beauty business.
She had learned so much about
the beauty business that she
opened up a business of her own.
and flew from one of her stores
to another. ,
She was the first woman to flv
a bomber across the North At
lantic Ocean.
? ^en * 4 came she directed
in Houston. Texas, a school for
women ferry pilots. She worked
under civil service status to or
ganize the women fliers of this
country for army purposes.
t? ?ta^ted a campaign to get
the United States to make a place
for women pilots in our national
defense. At last she won out' wo
, men were to go into flying for
the Government. Then she was
appointed director of women
pilots with the Army Air Force ?
the first woman to get such an
honor. Eleven years ago she was
in a beauty shop on
Fifth Avenue. Not bad, eh?

Commissioner Scott
Urges Attendance
At Farm-Home Week
Urging a record breakine at
tendance at 1947 Farm and Home
Week, W. Kerr Scott, commis
sioner of agriculture, made the
following statement this week.
"It is my earnest hope that
every farmer and farm woman
who can possibly attend Farm
and Home Week will make plans
to take advantage of this iplen
did opportunity to broaden their
knowledge and to enjoy the fine
fellowship. It should be a matter
of pride for us to participate in
this splendid endeavor which is
so helpful to both the individual
and the State as a whole."
"The prime goal of Farm and
Home Week is better rural living
throughout North Carolina, and
in carrying out this purpose the
event benefits every segment of
our population," he said.
' Furthermore, this year's pro
gram which includes persons of
national and international im
portance, undoubtedly is the
finest ever offered by this out
standing annual event which has
meant so much to thousands of
North Carolina's farm families*"
he added.
Scheduled to take place on the
State College Campus, August
25-29, a program of interest
both farmers and homemakera
has been arranged. Aside from
the outstanding lectures that "Will
be given, there will be the usual
array of farm exhibits, as well as
many interesting tours and de
monstrations.
Not to be forgotten is the
recreational side where singing
dancing, contests and o^her en
joyable features will be held.
Supplies of chicken meat ir
the second half of 1947 will be be
low last year. Prices may decline
from present levels this fall, and
there will be fewer turkeys for
the coming holidays.

State College Hints
For Homemakers
Act quickly if you spill acid on
your dress or any other fabric,
warm textile chemists of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
Even a fairly mild acid like
lemon juice or vinegar may
change the color or damage the
cloth!
First, rinse the stain several
times with cool water to stop the
action of the acid. Then apply
baking soda or ammonia water.
Water alone may not restore
color but ammonia may. If soda
is used, sprinkle it on both sides
of the stain, moisten with water
and allow to stand several
minutes. Then rinse well with
water. If ammonia is used, hold
the dampened stain over an open
bottle of strong ammonia water.
Read before using is an obvious
but often neglected rule for get
ting your money's worth in ser
vice and satisfaction from any
new household equipment, home
economists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture remind
housewives. Careful reading of
every word of print that comes
with a new article, large or
small, is well worth the house
wife's time, especially today
when new designs, materials and
finishes are coming on the
market. A few minutes of read
ing in advance of using may save
costly repairs or poor service.
Manufacturers go to consider
able trouble to print advise on
the proper care and use of their
products. The woman who dis
cards all printed matter as "just
advertising" or because she
thinks she knows enough without
reading may be throwing away
money. The printed advise is
part of what she pays for when
she buys the article,
Aft^r reading all labels, cards
or booklets that come with new
equipment, put away any print
ed directions or guarantees in a
safe place. It is wise to keep a re
cord of the place and date of
purchase, and the name and
address of the manufacturer.
