Waxing heels and toes of stock
ings with a bit of candle was rou
tine hose economy long ago in
wooden-shoe lands of Europe, and
it is a practical way to meet the
stocking problems today. Textile
specialists who have put to lab
oratory tqsts this old-fashioned
custom report that rubbing wax on
stockings makes them wear four
timM as long before holes appear
in heels or toes.
Tests showed the simplest and
most effective method is merely
mbbing a piece of candle wax ox
paraffin on heels and toes before
each wearing. EJven if the waxing
is not repeated until after several
launderings, enough wax remains
to jpake stocking feet more dura,
ble.
If only a thin film of wax is ap
plied, it will not interfere with the
proper laundering of the stocking
or change their appearance.
Mops and other cleaning mate
rial should have their own hooto
or shelves in the closet. Built-in
metal containers for such things
as oil mop-heads lessen the danger
of spontaneous combustion. ’
One out of three accidental
deaths from poison is a child un
der five. Keep poisons out of
reach or locked up.
In the fall rats and mice might
enter your house, but the alert
householder will look for their
places of entrance, place traps and
poison, and close all entrances.

Pressure Canner
Clinics Scheduled
Sixty-one pressure canner clin
ics, to serve every county in North
Carolina, will be held during Feb
ruary, March, and April, by the
Agricultural Engineering Depart
ment and the Home Demonstration
Department of the State College
Extension Service. In some areas
two counties will cooperate to
hold a clinic at a central location.
Safety valves, pressure giiages,
pet cocks, and the seal between
the lid and the kettle will be
checked with special equipment de
veloped by the Extension engi
neers. Since it is very difficult
to obtain repairs by competent
workers, the engineers will install
defective safety valves and guag-
es at cost.
The pressure canners must be
thoroughly cleaned and put in
condition as if for operation be
fore they can be checked. In addi
tion to defective valves and guag-
es, the canners will be thoroughly
checked for leaks of all kinds. Un
less the canners seal properly, the
desired pressure cannot be main
tained.
Last year clinics were held in
many sections of the state and so
great was the demand for this
service that it was decided to ex
tend it to every section of North
Carolina this year.
“Every pressure canner should
be thoroughly cleaned and checked
this winter, with repairs where
necessary, so that it will be ready
to do a full job next summer”,
says Mrs. Mary Lee McAllister,
Extension economist in food con
servation and marketing. “Gar
dening and food coservation will
be just as important this year as
last and we should save our sur
plus fruits and vegetables so as to
lessen the demand on manufac
tured products”.
