Homemakers who are buying materials this fall for home sewing of coats, dresses, suits, etc., should check for pre shrinkage materials. Most ma terial on the market is ready for sewing, but you should cer tainly want to have this infor mation by asking this question: Is my material pre-shrunk? ' You may pre-shrink material by steaming and pressing. Tail ors or dry cleaning establish ments will pre-shrink material for, a nominal cost. Don't forget to ask this ques tion, too, if you are buying woolen material: "Has this ma terial been treated so it will repel moths " This treatment is something new and can be pur chased. Test material for color fast ness. Place a small sample of material in a glass of warm water. Shake it a few times ? let stand from 3 to 5 minutes. If water becomes discolored by dye, remember to wash the gar ment alone ? and better still, don't wash even alone. Dry cleaning is best -if your gar ment holds its permanent color. Homemakers, don't be afraid to use the new, modern, up-to- ' date laundry methods. The hardest work a homemaker does Is that weekly family laundry. Money invested in good laundry equipment cant be measured in dollars and cents ? save the hard wear and tear of body. Flower holders are expensive, as most bamemakerB know. Flower shops and expert flower arrangers are using galvanized netting (chicken wire) cut In squares to fit vases or bowls. All you have to do Is bend each of the four corners to form legs or cut the mesh to fit the con tainer tightly. They work! Why not try galvanized flower con tainer holders and save a dol lar?

Refrigerator should be wash ed at least once each week. Baking soda is a good refrig erator "sweetener" ? it removes odors, (one tablespoon of soda to one pint cool water). Don't put your pots and pans away with cabbage, onion, or other unpleasant food cooking odors. After washing in hot sudsy water, give your pots and pans a vinegar rinse ? 2 table spoons vinegar to each quart water. Did you ever try a vinegar mouth rinse after eating on ions? This works too! ? State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. When should I start my second bunch of chicks for lay cers? A. Research at N. C. State college's school -of agriculture shows that the best time of year is in October, according to T. B. Morris, extension poultry specialist. "However", Mr. Mprris points out, "chickens can be started in September, November and December to supplement the production of the March hatch ed pullets." October hatched pullets at State college came into produc tion in about 5</2 months and averaged over 70 per cent pro duction during their first five months of lay. The shell texture and interior quality were better during the summer months than eggs from old hens that had been in pro duction 8 or 10 months. Hatch ability of broiler strains was also better in the summer months far the fall-hatched pullets than It was for the old hens, Morris says. "Poultry growers who have a regular market outlet should seriously consider having two or more broods of chicks each year in order to have a con stant supply of eggs to meet this market", Mr. Morris says. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our most heart-felt thanks to our good friends and relatives for their sympathy at the time of the Dear People of Macon County: There is no way we can adequately express our appreciation, but we give our thanks to the many people who responded. Not only to those who came and hunted for our boy, but also to those who were ready to come when they were notified he had been found. This showed the loving and sympa thetic hearts our people have. The long hours were made easier by the comfort and help you gave us. God did not fail to apswer the many prayers that were offered for Herbert's safety. The McKELVEY FAMILY Need Extra Heat?
