Even though our farmer,s were
work brittle, they were happy with
our iirst snow of the winter. The
ground hog is certainly a wise ani
mal to stay underground if seeing
his shadow tellshim snows like this
are on the calendar.

the week of prayer this week, Mon
day through Friday, each evening
at 7:30 at the church.

To Stretch Clothing hill
Take Good Care Of Clothes
I
"Good clothing care can be as
easy as saying your ABC's," accord
ing to Mary Em Lee, State Col
lege extension specialist in cloth-,
ing.
Good clothing care merely im
plies the kind of simple care that
cver>one can easily put into prac
tice at home.
Air your clothes frequently and
properly. Moths and other pests
hate fresh air?so air makes a good
preventative. Airing also relaxes
fabrics and banishes ordinary
wrinkles and creases. Clean clothes
also give longer service since
irjoths rarely attack clean gar
ments.
Quick and direct attention is
needed for clothes that get wet,
and that's a good point to bear in
mind this time of the year. Miss
Lee cautions against draping a
damp coat or dress over a radiator
or hanging it in front of a fire.
The fabric will buckle and actu
ally get out of shape if you do.
Instead, keep it in a cool dry place
and away from other clothes, s
When dry, bush the fabric with ?
the nap, not against it. j
It will be to your advantage to !
have a knowledge of spot and stain
removal. Know the stain or spot '
and follow directions for its re- '
ir.oval. Fresh stains are much I
wvoid .? ?
