line, and J»e* R. Werta acting regional director of the War Manpower commission, said that unless substitutes can be fooadst once for the men taken into the^airced forces from the Norfolk yards, these yards will be faced with a serious crisis. Any worker who ran fulfill the qualifications will hare his transportation paid to Norfolk, where the rates of pay -range from $4.04 per day for helpers to $10.06 a day for the higher, skills, pins time-and-onehalf for overtime. Workers must obtain statements of availability before leaving their borne communities. Mr. Werte said that it was unfortunate that so modi adverse publicity had been printed on the crowded, conditions existing in Norfolk, and added that he thought it was one of the reasons which had kept workers from coining into the area. Hie housing shortage has npt only been remedied, he stated, but today there are available nearly 9,000 units—dormitories, trailers, snd three, four, snd five room houses. "Any man or woman who accepts a job in the yards is assured of a clean, convenient end inexpensive place to live," Mr. Werts declared. "The sites A the 'housing built by the National Housing agency were chosen with an eye to their accessibility to the yards, and each development has its own schools and. stores, its community house snd recreational facilities. For single persons, dormitory rooms' rent for as little as $3 a week. Small families may secure completely furnished trailers for $6.60 a week, and houses with all modem conveniences .are available at raits from $27.50 to $32 a month." Men, women and boys and girls between the sges of 16 and 17 will be accepted as workers either at the Norfolk navy yard in Portsmouth or by the Norfolk Shipbuilding company in Norfolk. Women are especially needed as helper trainees at $5.36 a day plus overtime, snd other positions open to them include jobs as welders, machine operators, driv ' Of especial interest to boys and girls who are past 16 but not yet 17 is the- job of mechanic learner at $4.64 a day, ptaa overtime.

Containers most, be salvaged for explosives. Any left over, after military and vital chemical manufacturing needs are filled, moat go to fertiliser. But vinegar for window washing will do almost aB and in many cues warn water alone will serve. Never use Soapy water as the soap will leave a film that is and boraz are all available.. Usad in solution with, water, they are very effective cleansing- agenta, Be ears* fill not to make the solutions too strong. Half • tabiespoonful of trisodium phosphate to a gallon, a tablespoon? of waahing soda to a gallon, or 4 tablespoons of borax to • gallon, are the correct proportion*. Lye is still available, but it most be used with care for it is poisonous and injurious to the (kin. It Is often used to eieaa drain pi pea. . To be effective, it must be flashed down immediately with plenty of hot water. Lye will damage the glaze on vitreous china plumbing fixtures and on enameled iron. There are plenty of scouring powders and metal polishes on the mnifcet, though no ammonia can be used hi die manufacture of new stock. R«Ma*er These Fat Huts: Overheating -is the quickest way to spoil any fat Improper storage spoils fat. The best way to keep fats ia in a closely coveted container, in a dark place, and away fiwn strong-flavored and strong-scented foods. Fats, which are saved over from cooking, spoil more quickly than new fat So ke«frtfe^ri fat extra cold and use as soon as possible. Flavorful fats, sueL as batter, are least abundant of all. So when you use your share of these, be jure to put it where the flavor will owmt mpat with your family. In these days of limited fat supply, dishes rich with fat ate out of step with the times. v'v,;;-! .' Try cooked ariad dressing with flour as a thickener to help spread the fat f y..-',,■*< ... -VWhen you make a French dressing? remember not to be a "apend-thrift of oil." - Add the fat tor flavoring cooked vegetables either just 'before the vegetables come off the stove or after you have them in a serving dish. You can get more seasoning effect ftom lees fat by this method. % Rinse the Cat out of cooking pons with a little hot water and add to your soap kettle or use in sauce or gravy. Save the wrappings that come off fats. MeJt, or scrape off, any fat thpt dings to wrappings; use it to grease pans; or rub over the crust of your home-baked bread. —— Kl i'M V* \ * m- - ■ -if "«w is running too slowly, the chaffer will load up and the grain will ride out.
