Additional home demonstration clubs are to be organized in the county within the next few weeks. 'I'he first communities requesting clubs will be the communities where new clubs are organized. Requests are coming in. ,If your community desires a club, don’t de lay in getting the information to the home agent. CHEESE DEMONSTRATIONS Demonstrations in the making of yellow American cheese will be giv en at the home demonstration club meetings. Many families have a surplus of milk at certain times and this can be ])reserved for later use in the form of chee.s'c, which can be kept indefinitely. Let us preserve our milk supply. lODAV^; TOM K PARKER OCKBRIDOE Recreation Program By T. J.

The Shop of Quality SAFETY . . ■ • • Xe.xt month a great ‘'motorcade’’ will travel to New York City, i will be composed of drivers from all of the 48 states. Each will ha\t been chosen to represent his or her state because of proven skill as a driver. No one can be selected who has not had ten years of driymg experience, covering at least , miles, and his accident record must show a clean slate. These 48 motorists, representing the very pick of all the drivers^ of .America, are to converge .upon New York in August for a highway safety convention, sponsored by the C. 1. T. Safety Foundation and co operated in by the American Auto mobile Association and the National Safety Council. Prizes will be given to the drivers who come the long est distance and arrive without a scratch on their fenders. This seems to me like a mighty useful move toward dramatizing the importance of cartful driving. It ought to stimulate public interest in the effort to make motoring safe. SHIPS our program The “(iridiroti Flag” of our country will float again on the seven seas as it has not been seen since war days, if the p.urjioses of the new ship subsidy bill, passed in the last hour of Congress, are car ried out. In this new law a Federal Maritime Authority was set tip, with power to subsidize and super vise the construction and operation of American ships for the foreign trade. Two hundred new ships in seven years at a cost of $350,0(X),(X)0 is the building program. I would like to see it even bigger. The new law also provides for subsidies to ship operators to equal ize the difference between wages paid to American officers and tail ors and the starvation wages paid by ship owners of o-ther nations. 1 hope one result of this will be to fill American youth again with th'C desire to go to sea, and that Old Glory will again become a familiar sight in every seaport of the world. DROUGHT .... irrigation A friend who lives in northern Tennessee wrote me the other day that it had not rained in his part of the country for 77 days. Drought conditions that threaten the wheat crop and the cattle ranchers are reported from many parts of the northwest plains and prairie states. Along the Atlantic Coast the short age of rain in April and May and early Juii'C wrought havoc with the growers of vegetables and small fruits and shot the price of po tatoes up to a new high record. What with floods and droughts, nature has its own way of regulat ing agricultural production. I don’t know how long it took the Egyp tians and the ancient Babylonians to develop their systems of irriga tion, but sometimes I think that agriculture can only be conducted successfully either in a country where it rains all the time, or in one where it never rains at all- With irrigation. »?|^ES basis ihere is more common-sense in what Lewis H.

Such may not be accompanied by any inflammatory si'gns-heat, redness, or swelling- just transitory pain, often mistaken ly called “muscular rheumatism.’’ Such annoyances almost invariab ly come from disturbed nerves. Organs adjacent to the locality complained of should be studied. Constijnition—an impacted bowel— may cause anything from head neuralgia to sciatic irritation, and even pains in ankles and heels. Unload the bowel and relif comes. All pains in nerves should be in vestigated as to local injury. Grand ma lifted a heavy rocker yesterday; today she has a sharp pain in her wrist. You “turned” your ankle last night on an uneven sidewalk. Little disturbances due to injuries may be treated by hot fomentations, heat and medicaments rubbed on. Good liniments are very useful if persisted in. It is possible that no cause for a localized pain can be found.
