is being donated by Weimar

cut by Claud Boone and Ralph
Cochran, D. L. Owenby agreed
to saw the posts for the iigns,
and Cecil Haney volunteered to
place the names on the signs.
Road names were adopted as
follows:
On Otter Creek, Deweese
Road, Owenby Road, Cochran
Road, and Otter Mountain
Road; in the Partridge Creek
section, Shields Road, Grant 1
Road, and Hampton Branch
Road; and in the pappy Top ;
area, Pair View Road.

that the local road committee !
decide, without delay, which
roads in Nantahala shou'd be
graveled first, and Weimar
Cochran suggested the club
write a letter to Commissioner
Thrash asking when work will
start on the road in the Nan
tahala Gorge section.

Yes. blouses are washable to

a few simple washing rules
your blouses will keep that
k ' new look" they had when they
A were purchased.
^ First of all never wash a
blouse, or any garment for that
matter, if the labels say dry
clean. Remove non-washable
trimmings and shoulder pads
fore washing and close a'l
pers. Put a mild soap in
ash basin or tub, add hot
ter, and then cold water to
ke lukewarm suds. Squeeze
suds through the garment; do
n ,t rub or twist as wringing
tends to weaken the yarns.
Rinse twice, using lukewarm
water for both rinses. Roll gar
ment in turkish towel imme
diately and hang garment on
1 ust proof hanger.
If your rayon blouses are
Very limp a little starching will
estore that crisp look.
Nylon is a washable fabric.
In lact you can . wash it in
your machine without hesita
;ion if you have a spinner type
"washer, but remember never
put blouses th ough a wringer.
. Linen blouses are washable

ed by hand In lukewarm suds.
Do not rub but squeeze suds
gently through It. Rinse well in
lukewarm water. Be sure your
printed silks are colorfast. If
you are not sure elip a piece

color-fast. Do not put silks

Timely Farm Questions
Q. How can I waterproof walls
of concrete blocks?
A. Let the wall remain at
least 24 hours, and then apply
a cost of pement paint. Give
this plenty of time (at least
48 hours) to dry before adding
the finish coat. The cement
paint should be scrubbed into
the surface thoroughly. 1
Q Js there any way to re
move spoM paused by ink from
ball point pens?
A. Yes. Although milk is still
recommended as the best means
of removing stains from regu
lar Ink, ordinary rubbing alco
hol does the best job of elimi
nating spots caused by the inks
used in ball point pens. How
ever, it should be remembered
that rubbing alcohol will Injure
some types of rayon and also
cause fading In some dyes. For
safety, try the alcohol on a
hidden part of the garment
(such as the Inside of the seamt
first. If full-strength alcoho'
damages either the color or th<
fabric, dilute with water.

mules are there on U. S. fa: ins?
A. On January 1, 1949, the
total was 8,274,000. This com

ducted extensive tests on this |
