With a little organization, the job can be made easier. Specialists with the North Carolina Agricultural Exten sion Service recommend starting by preparing a bucket or dishpan of warm detergent or soap suds and another of water. Have a sponge or clean cloth handy as well as some type of shelf covering and scissors. Use a sturdy stepstool or ladder to reach high shelves, but be careful not to over reach. ■ Start with the bottom shelf and take everything out of piace on me counter below or on a tabletop. Next, take everything from the second shelf and place on the now empty first shelf. Continue, moving the con tents of each shelf to the shelf below. This method keeps to a minimum the stooping and bending that would result from putting the contents of each shelf on a counter or table. • Starting with the top shelf, remove old lining paper and discard. If the adhesive-type plastic coated paper is on the shelf, wash with a sponge or cloth dipped in suds and then rinse and dry. Wash and rinse the cabinet walls thoroughly Pearson Assured Competitive Car Will Be Made Available? HARRISBURG, N.C - David Pearson, NASCARs winningest super-speedway driver who surprisingly joined the unemployed ranks when he split with the Wood Bro thers Racing Team, has been assured that a competitive car will be available for him to drive in the upcoming May 27th World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Pearson, the popular 44 year-old "Silver Fox" from Spartanburg, S.C., who scored the first of his 102 career Grand National wins in the 1961 World 600 at CMS, and Glen Wood, the senior member of the Wood Brothers team, jointly announced that they had “reached a mutual agreement to separate" several days after the recent Rebel 500. "David told Purolator offi cials that he would enter selected superspeedway events ‘when a competitive car was available' and we have assured him -that we are directing all of our efforts toward finding that car," said CMS General Manager H.A. iMumpyi wneeier. “David Pearson is a three time World 600 winner and he has won an unprecedented eleven consecutive pole posi tions at Charlotte,” Wheeler added. “We expect him to be favored to make it twelve straight when the $15,000 Busch Pole for the World 600 is decided Wednesday after noon, May 23rd." Purolator will continue to sponsor the famed “Number 21" Wood Brothers Mercury vacated by Pearson, and Neil Bonnett, the young driver from Hueytown, Ala., has agreed to drive the machine in several upcoming races. Purolator Director of Racing Operations, Whit Collins, has confirmed that the car will be ■ entered in the World 600. If Bonnett, who has a committ ment to race in the Indianapo lis 500, is unavailable for the Charlotte 600-miler another leading competitor will be selected and an announce ment will be made within the next two weeks. There are several outstand ing CMS marks among the many records Pearson has set during his 19-year Winston Cup career. He ranks first at CMS in winnings ($359,126), first in total miles of racing driven (15,555) and first in total Iap6 led (1,801). His $80.000-plus in CMS qualifying winnings is also a record. !“Big Cat” Williams To Play In Kemper Tournament Kemper Open Executive Director Billy Booe announc ed Evan “Big Cat" Williams would be among the eight pro fessionals who will receive Sponsor Exemption Invita tations to compete in the $350,000 Kemper Open the week of April 28 - May 3 at Quail Hollow Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
