STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By VERNA STANTON Assistant State Agent Consider its cling and its stretch when making up Wool or rayon jersey, clothing specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture advise homernakers. Take into ac count the special characteristics of this fabric when choosing a pattern and when cutting, sewing, and pressing. Pattern. Because of its cling, jer sey is most attractive in dresses with plenty of fullness. Choose patterns that feature gathers or impressed pleats, and be sure the fullness is about equal in the back md front. Heavy fullness in one place will make the dress sag. Avoid straight "pencil-slim" skirts or a* snug fit. Because jersey does not hold a pr?ss. avoid pressed pleats. Cutting out. Before laying on the pattern for cutting. fold the jer sey along one center rib with the right sides together to prevent curling edge.-. U^e both pins and weights to hold *he pattern in place. Stitching. When the fabric is cut, run a line of stitching along cut WOODMEN OF THE WORLD Life Insurance Society Fraternity Protection Service BRITTON M. MOORE Sylva Representative Sylva, N. C.

Sew from bottom up when basting and also when stitching t? prevent a i downward stretch. Pressing. Press jersey lightly on the wrong side, lifting the iron from place to place rather than | pushing it along. This helps pre- j vent stretching seams. Reinforcing. The waistline of a | jersey dress always needs rein- | forcing to prevent stretch and sag. , Stitch twilled cotton tape or seam binding under the waistline seam. Shirtwaist type dresses also need to have collars, cuffs and front edges reinforced to hold their shape. Use thin, lightweight cot ton fabric between the two layers of jersey. Buttonholes. Bound or two-piece buttonholes are best for jersey. ) Worked buttonholes are likely to j strctch or even ravel.

A life, which could be your own.? may be saved il you follow safety! precautions when you take a re- ! freshing dip in the creek, river, or ( lake this summer, declares David J S. Weaver, head of the Agricul- ! tural Engineering Department at ! State College. "Swimming is fine exercise," Mr. Weaver saidi "but only for 1 those in physical condition to do j it without harm." "If you are not I feeling well, stay out of the water, j especially ^deep water and always give yourself a two-hour wait alter meal time befyre going in swim- 1 ming," he advised. To those wnen the temptation ! mav be great, Mr. Weaver has the ; iollowmg salety suggestions to | make: Do not expose yourself-to the I sun tor long periods of time early i in the season. Be sensible and take j il ea.-v witn your exposure to the ! sun in short installments, gradual ly ou?l(iau up a good tan. Sunburn can oe serious and cause :nucn dis comfort, Never dive into strange | water. Always know that the depth ' 1 and bottom are sale. Swim only j when you are accompanied by a good swimmer or lifeguard. Watch ! for dangerous undertows and big . waves in large bodies of water. Don't swim beyond your strength. Never rock the boat iror* call for help in the water if you don't need it. If you should experience dis tress in the water, do not struggle i frantically; try to swim as low in I the water and easily as possible. 1 To make a water rescue, use a | boat, pole, rope, or life buoy: make a swimming rescue as a last resort. Learn how to apply artificial res piration; and if possible, take at least a few lessons in life saving.
