plied.
Subscriptions are payable in

The Postoffice Repartment Is

publicizing events in which win
ners gain prizes through the
working of chance, drawing of

BANK LOANS
Loans by the nation's banks,
already at a record high, increas
ed $1,100,000,000 during Septem
ber. At least part of the jump
could be ascribed to seasonal in
fluences, since borrowing always
increases in September as mer
chants build Fall -and Christmas
inventories. Also, money is need
ed to finance crop movements.
September bank-loan expansion
lifted these debts to an unpre
cedented $47, 140,000,000 on Oct
1.
GIFTS TO GERMANS

197,000 tons of supplies, exclusive
of the many thousands of CARE
packages and contributions
through licensed charitable or
ganizations.
TAX RECEIPTS
Government tax receipts for
the first quarter of this fiscal
year were $322,523,000 higher
than in the same period last year,

Slate College Hints to
Farm Homemakers
Home economist* say there is
an element of chance in washing
rayon if the label carries no facts
almut its washabillty, or if the
sales clerk was not too specific
in giving such information. Never
let you rayons become extremely
soiled and never soak or boil
them. Unless specifically labeled
for "all-purpose" soap, use a
mild soap on rayons. When there
is a "go-ahead" signal for wash
ability, very little pampering is
necessary. You may, of course,
wash it by hand. But if the seams
are well-finished and well tailor
ed then there is no reason for not
machine-washing it Warm water
about 105 to 110 degrees F. is
very effective as most rayons
cleans easily.
Rayons require a relative
short washing period ? 2 to 4
minutes is sufficient? for pro
tection of the fiber which is
weaker when wet. Short periods
are usually effective for filament
rayons because their fiber tends
to resist soil and cleans easily.
The washing action of the washer
must be gentle. Rinse rayom
thoroughly but speedily. Avoid
unnecessary wringer wt inkles.
Never wring by hands or twist.
If washing by hand, press water
out between a towel.
Unlike cotton clothes which
are allowed to dry completely
and are then redampened, ray
ons, particularly dresses and
blouses, are ironed best when
they are allowed to dry only un
til partially damp for ironing.
Don't make the mistake of try
ing to iron your rayons too damp.
You will waste time and may
(stretch or distort the fabric.
If you want to stretch that food
dollar, plan carefully the three
meals a day. Plan at least three
meals at a time and be sure to
include all of the things you
need for good nutrition.
Compare your menus from day
to day for variety and balance in
meals.
No prospect is seen of major
business recession.

"If I were a
movie producer . . . "|
How often have yon used
that phrase in discussing
the kind of movies
you'd like to see made?
Frequently we hear from
moviegoers who feel
that Hollywood films
have stayed too close to
the well-beaten path
But pleasing the tastes
of millions is an
exacting task. Will the
moviegoers who ask for , ,
films that are "different"
and "really fine"
support those pictures? "?
"SONG OF MY HEART'
is a test picture.
The producers have (
taken an intriguing
love-story and set k to
the wonderful melodies
of Tschalkovsky . . . such
as his Piano Concerto,
Romeo and Juliet Fantasy,]
Fifth Symphony, 1812
Overture and Swan
Lake Ballet.
? . . " jl .
The famous magazine
Musical Digest, has
called "SONG OF" MY N
HEART" one of the
finest musical \ ~ ' j<
productions t? emerge ....
from Hollywood.
