Pearson officiat ing, using the double ring cere mony. 1 For . her nuptials, the bride chose a cadet bhte gabardine suit with brown and white accessories. The bride attended Sparta high school and for the past year has been employed by Belk’s Dept, store. The bridegroom, son of Mrs. Flenn Cochram and the late Mr. Cochram of Enriice, served in the U. S. Army three years, thirty months of which were spent over seas. ' The young couple is making their home at Ennice where he is engaged in farming. Timely Hints It is good common sense to shrink woolens when making clothing articles of wool, say ex tension specialists. A new wool dress or garment that hasn’t had the pre-shrinking process is very likely to come back from the cleaner’s several sizes too small in the wrong places. Labels usually indicate wheth er or not the material has been pre-shrunk._ If no label indication is on the goods, it is better to play safe and do your own shrinking before making a garment. Many conflicting directions have been given for shrinking wool at home, but recent tests by clothing specialists show that pressing the entire piece of wool with a steam iron is a simple and satisfactory method. Care must be taken to hold and press witl} the weave and not to stretch or b'er of the high senool faculty in Wilkesboro, spent the week end with her parents, -Sheriff and Mrs. Glenn Richardson.

' *■" t If you don’t have a steam iron, it is necessary to dampen the wool thoroughly and then press it with a moderately warm iron under a press cloth. Rolling the wool in a damp sheet is a simple way to dampen it. Allow it to stand in the rolled sheet overnight and then press on the wrong side with a dry press cloth with no pulling or stretching. To starch a shirt, gather it up so that you can dip all the parts to be starched — the cuffs, collar and front — in the starch at the same time. *, How thick a solution? That de pends on the individual’s likes.' However, shirts should never be starched “board stiff.” It will crack the fiber threads and cause the shirt to wear out much faster. The present trend toward smal ler bedrooms, built-in double bunks for children and lower beds may save expense in build ing and furnishing but adds to the time and effort spent on bed making, housing specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture remind home-planners. Making beds by pullman-porter methods is loo strenuous for rnanv women but is unavoidable with some of the new space-saving ! bed arrangements, the specialists j point out. At least 18 inches clear space around three sides of the ! bed is needed for convenience in making. If a bed must stand in I a corner or alcove it should be equipped with good ball-bearing casters so that it can be rolled I out for making or for cleaning the room. .• The height of the beds is also | important for convenient making. The higher beds of a generation ago had at least one advantage! —they could be made without! stooping. Beds that stand 20' to 24 inches from the floor require j much less effort to make them than the new lower beds. More over, higher beds are handier! when caring for a sick member of the family. The height of hos pital beds is good evidence of this. If the men or children in the family happen to track tar, road oil or asphalt into the house and you find black marks on rugs or floors as a result, remove marks nromptly. The older the stain, the more difficult it is to remove. And for these stains use cleaning fluid (grease solvent) not soap and water. On carpets and rugs scrape off all the black possible with a dull knife. Then sponge with the cleaning fluid using a brushing See Us Now For I *■ n V V We havk a large selection to choose from, large and small. ’ OUR SELECTION INCLUDES BOTH / . •« *'•» ^ Coal and Wood Stoves Soane with Thermostat Control Delp Hdw.
