Lo.ig storage without laundering mav cause the fabric to deteriorate, be cause smoke, dust, and moisture in the air combine to weaken the cotton even while the towels are resting on the shelf. Wash towels before they become too soiled and i require extra rubbing or bleaching to become white again. If a bleach i- used, dilute it according to directions and be sure to rinse thoroughly afterward. Strong, bleaches weaken fabrics. Drying suga- to four parts strawberries.

IJring towels in as soon as they re dry. bieause too much whipp ;u b> the wind may loosen yarns i turners and cause them to fr^y Home economists advise against ironing Turkish towels. Ironing is unnecessary labor and it mats t'ie loops, making the fabric less absor bent and may even break the l bei in the yarns. Hand and dish towels may be ironed flat and then simply folded by hand. To prevent too much wear at any one place and keep the towel from splitting along creases, fold tow el*. sometimes in halves and some times in thirds. Never pull out too long a bash ing thread, but rather cut between the stitches and pull the basting thread out in short lengths. In this way large thread holes in tlie material will be avoided, and, in the case of sheer materials, the possibility of pulling the fabric threads will also be eliminated. America's annual fire loss is about $30,000,000. A DISTINGUISHED RECORD OF LEADERSHIP SPEAKS FOR ITSELF TO THE FARMERS OF NORTH CAROLINA FORMER GOVERNOR J. MELVILLE BROUGHTON CANDIDATE FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE As Governor, Legislator ond Public Servant, Former Governor Broughton Took An Active Port in the Accomplishment of These Progressive Measures for the Farmer: | Fornn Governor Broughton has been engaged actively in farming for over twenty-five years and is " himself flue-cured tobacco grower. 9 Mr. Broughton has been active in securing better prices for tobacco. In October, 194:!, while he was " Governor when the price for tobacco collapsed, he declared a marketing holiday and kept the mar kets closed until he was successful in working out plans for better prices and a stabilized market. In 1945 he personally appeared before officials of the Office of Price Administration insisting on an increase in the ceiling price for tobacco. The increase was granted which meant more than 10 million dollars to the growers of tobacco. In 194fi he appeared before the proper government agencies insisting that ceil ing prices and allocations on tobacco be abolished. This was done and meant millions of dollars to the growers. o He h. long been a member of the Farm Bureau and State Grange and has probably spoken to more farmers in farm meetings than any person in the State He delivered one of the principal addresses at the annual meeting of the National Grange at Grand Rapids. Michigan in 1944. He appeared on the program of the National Farm Bureau meeting at San Francisco in December. 194fi. A Mr. Broughton was instrumental in establishing thi Flue-Cured Tobacco Stabilization Corporation which has meant many millions of dollars in increased income to farmers. He prepared the charter and by-laws for this organization and has worked closely with the organization since its establishment. B Mr. Broughton in 1947 drafted the legislation authorizing the establishment of Tobacco Associates. Inc., and prepared the charter and by-laws for the organization. Tobacco Associates is proving to be of great benefit to tobacco growers in the European Recovery Program and the continuation of satisfactory Fed eral farm legislation for tobacco. ?* Mr. Broughton has been actively connected with the dairy industry of the State. While he was Gov ernor he approved the program and procured the allocation of funds to set up at State College the best dairy equipment for institutional purposes to be found in any institution of the South. 7 Mr. Broughton has shown great interest in other agricultural crops produced in North Carolina, such " as cotton, peanuts, and fruits and vegetables. He collaborated with State Marketing Specialists in draft ing the Commodity Referendum Act passed by the 1947 General Assembly under which farmers may act jointly with dealers and processors in promoting the sale, distribution and consumption of farm prod ucts. At the present time he is advocating the establishment of processing plants for Irish potatoes to place potato-growing on a sounder and more profitable basis in North Carolina.
