THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1945 MADISON'S RED CROSS QUOTA IS NOW $6,900 Error Made Last Week In Amount Allotted Our County Instead of 86.400 as Madison's quo ta for our next Red Cross drive being $6,400 as published last week. Chair man Roberts tells us that since the quota was first set at the smaller figure it was boosted another 8500, making our quota .$6,900. This is con siderably more than our quota was In 1944. This means that all of us are going to be expected to dig deeper Into our purses than we did last year If evarvone will do his or her part, It will not be a burdensome amount to raise. Madison County has not fail, ed yet to go over the top In all that has been asked to dot except that it lacked a small amount raising the polio quota of $1700. And that was due larnly to the faet that so many of our larger contributors were ap proached by school children, who did not Insist on large donations. Get ready to make your Red Cross dona tions large. MADISON SCHOOLS PURCHASE PLANES According to a communication from Mrs. J. 8.

Machine-made darns and patches are generally stronger and more .durable than those made by hand, but are more consplclous and not so soft. Machine darning is recommended for holes, tears and thin places in towels, sheets, aprons, overalls, children's play clothes, plain underwear, men's shirts. ' and women's house dresses. Hand darning is preferable, however, for fine garments and hosiery. To darn by machine use nne mer cerlsed or cotton thread which match. es the color ot the, garment, or better, is slightly darker. Adjust the length of the stitch to suit) the cloth. The Oner t the 'yrptJ he shorter the stiton." (.-. .y Iaiuh the thumbscrew on top of the machine to release the pressure on the pressor foot enough so the cloth can be moved back and forth when stitching. Stitch across the place to be darned, pulling the material slowly backward and forward, and from side to side with both hands. Follow the grain of the material, or stitch on the diagonal if the fabric has a twill waeve. To hold the cloth smooth dur ing darning, an embroidery hoop may be used or tissue paper may be basted underneath. The paper will wash out when the garment Is laundered. A darn will be stronger If it is (Carried to 4th pace) Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Vaughn . Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hagan -Mr. and Mrs. Van Frlsbee .

Lack of woods workers mix tn-i n,r fn.iHrfw..i i ing a serious bottleneck In the out put of extract plants, tanneries and Hhoo factories, the U. S. Forest Ser vice points out In an appeal for woods workers. The Forest Service and tanners he ctare that chestnut extract wood is absolutely essential in making leath er for nhoe soles and the decrease la acldwood receipts at the extract Plants seriously theatens leather production. Woodsmen say that the old chestnut trees, standing like silent ghesU on the mountains, can"t stand for many more years. Killed by a devastating mo '"us, me trees are de laying in the center. Probably In 10 years most of them will be gone. They may have little or no commercial vsi ue in live to seven more years. Today, these old trees can be salv aged. They can help make leather for the shoes of men .who will some day defeat Japan whence came the chest nut blight. Shortage of woods labor keeps many of the old chestnut trees from joining the flo-ht ae-alnst Juun and Germany. The woods labor deficit in the production of vegetable tannin Is emphasized In some extract plants that periodically are. forced to hnt down tor lack of wood and Irr other plants that are runnlne- balow ami. city. That is why an anneal Is balna- maitii fo farmers and woods workers to boost the outDUt of chestnut extract wood. To farmers, the request cornea before crops reaulre their full time. Tlmbermen are being uged to obtain contracts from buyers to cut acldwood, or If they prefer, to work at good wages for other acldwood contractors.
