The greatest care must be exercised in all toodhandling , places to carry out as nearly perfect hygienic measures as possible, stressing particularly: tai most careiul handwashing by all employes, particularly alter going to toilet; (b> care to in every way keep food, and the dishes and utensils used in ! serving it, absolutely clean. j Urges Fly Control "2. Very careful fly control 1 with: (a'i screening; (D> proper use of live percent DDT; (c> ] g.vi oage is not being cared lor \ as it should be. All garbage con tainers must be frequently and thoroughly scrubbed in order r.ot to attract flies, and must at an times be tightly covered. '3. Care as to personal hy gi.ne habits of all employes at work and at home. We advise they keep away from congested areas, especially tourist areas, and not use public swimming places. Wc advise they make only necessary trips to any po tential epidemic area and use every precaution when they have to go. Note To Campers "4. As a special note to all ! campers, we advise positively that no new short-term legis ti.ition.; fcc accepted. This is in ? Continued From P?g?

He will report here August 15. The project was suggested by John M. Archer, Jr., and T. W. Angel, Jr., and the funds were raised by a joint commutte irum the Rotary and Lions ciuos, after the .proposal had been presented to the clubs. Members of the committee are Mr. Archer, chairman, County 6upt. Guy L. Houk, secretary, j Mr. Angel, Frank B. Duncan, Grant Zickgraf, and W. C. Burr rell. Under the program that has been tentatively set up, mr Houk said yesterday, Mr. Atkias will teach classes in physical education, including health, in both the grammar and high \ school grades, during the scnuo. day, and will coach the high school athieuc teau.s. in suin mer, he will direct a commun ity-wide program of recreation, which it is planned to develop here. While sufficient fuAd.s have been raised to. assure the di rector's salary, additional mu.i ey will be needed, member^ of j the committee said, to provide much-needed equipment, especi ally for the summer program of recreation. Mr. AtKins, who was one of a number of persons considered, and one of six interviewed, is married. He and Mrs. Atkins have one child. line with the policy we have outlined, with, the Daniel Boone : Boy Scout camp having been closed, and other camps not ac cepting short-term campers. It j is necessary that we make this requirement. "5. It is to be noted that W2 ! are not advising: the closing of j any group meetings involving people of our own area, although j definitely advising special caio | in protecting children from an / possible contact with individu als from epidemic areas. In othe . | words, our plans are made t . | minimize any spread of tho neighboring epidemic to our area. Our situation at present 13 surprisingly satisfactory. S. S.

When starch sticks and tcorches on the hot iron, there's a temptation to scratch it oft v/ith a knife or any otner sharp utensil handy. The result is like ly to be permanent scratches on the plate of the irori. Onct scratched the iron may catch 0,1 fabrics and pull threads. There are several simple ways to remove starch without dam age to the iron. If the iron is hot, do it this way: Shake salt' on a piece of paper and rub the iron back and lorth o\er the: salt until the starch rubs oil. From a cool iron starch may n*. remo.ed by scpuring w?th. fine steel wool or with a -mo-is. cloth dipped in f.ne seounng, powder. Sometimes just ruouaij with a moist cioth will do Iht job As a prevention against stick ing starch, rub a little beeswax or parafiin frequently over the hot surface of ihe iron. Well cooked starch is less likely to stick than starch which is not thoroughly cooked so it pays to I prepare it carcfuliy A wax pre paration to add when making i up starch is on the market which helps prevent sticking and makes ironing easier. dome expe.ienced housewives believe that adding salt to the starch mixture heips keep it from sticking, perhaps because the salt raises the temperatuie of the mixture and thus aids thorough cooking. Re-cover your ironing board less frequently by dipping new cover in cold starch and tacking it on while damp. It dries tight, smooth, and stays clean longer. JOINS BRYANT STAFF Jack E. Millwood, of Gaffney, S. C., has joined the Bryant funeral home staff as mortician.

War Product Is Helpful In Control Of Dampness New help against summet dampness in households an. the damage that goes with it mold, mildew, nvastiness, rujt moisture stains, swo'lo" ? < nnd loosened glue in furniture? is on the market this year in the lorm of non-drip moisture absorbers or desiceu.iis. accru ing to Miss Ruth Current, home demonstration agent for the State college extension service. Quoting home economists ol the U. S. Department of Agri culture, Miss Current said silica gels and other substances, de veloped during the war to kce^ the contents of packing case; dry, are now for sale in retail stores. The advantages of the new products over calcium chloride which has been used for manj years against dampness, arc I that they do not beec.ne liquia and drip as they take in mois ture, and they can be driec out and used again, Miss Cur rent said. When they have tak en up all the moisture they can absorb, they change color, as an indication that they need to bi dried out or replenished. Pound for pound, they prob ably do not take up quite as much moisture as caicl' t. ! chloride does, but they are fai more convenient and easy u use. They do not need to be | placed over containers that will ! hold liquid and not corrode, as calcium chloride does. Instead they may be used anywhere, in or out of a container. Thej may be strewn on closet floors or shelves or enclosed in trunks bureau drawers, or clothes bags The label on the packagc gives directions as to the quai. tity and method of u.se. 4 Out Of Every 5 Traffic Accid' its Occur In Country Some city people think mosl accidents occur in the country Some rural folk think city dwellers cause most mishaps. Actually, 674 persons wer? killed on rural roads in North Carolina last year, wmle met their death within city oi village limits. So about fou- o ? of every five deaths occurred in rural areas. Six out of every eight drivers involved in fatal accidents were rural residents, the N. G. Motoi Vehicle department reports.
