North Wilkeiboro, N. C. 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. V 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”.
