Hints To Farm
Homemakers
i ' By Verna Stanton
" ' N. C. State College ' '
The dark greasy tulns that ae-
ciiTulate on the interior surfaces
of ovens in kitchen ranges are
diffcult to clean. Ordinary was
hing or wiping will not remove
them because ' the brease has
' baked on." Scouring often is
used but, unless dooe with care,
may damage the enamel finish.
The fumes of ammonia are
helpful in softening this sub
stance and making it easier to
wash or wipe off. Home econ
o;rsts of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture suggest placing a
shallow bowl of household am
monia in the oven for several
. hours or overnight. The fumes
given oft them will have time to
.loosen the greasy stains. A bad
iy soiled oven may need this
treatment for several successive
nights.
To keep the oven clean, home
economists advise leaving the
door open after use until the
oven is cool. This will "aiir
out" many of the volatile odors
and oils fro.r. baking. This also
helps prevent rusting of metal
surfaces by the steam from food..
Any food that boils over or
spills in the oven should be wip
ed up at once and not allowed
to burn on.
The safest time to use non-
perspirants ... or - deoderant pre
parations is after undressing ' at
night. Care ' should' be takrti
not to drop' any of the liquid
.preparations on uiderwear br
night clothes or to use Q much
of the creams, that they get on
fabrics. Powder applied over
these ' preparations at night arid
again ill the morning hcips pro
tect clothes. Shields may be as
useful in protecting against these
chemicals as against perspiration.
FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Q: Where has the greatest in
crease in broiler production ta
ken place?
A: The correct answer is in
the Southeastern States. In 1934
this section had about 40 per
cent of the Nation's total produc
tion. Today it has about 60 per
cent. . On this point, . however,
Prof,, Roy Dearstyne warns that
we must reduce poultry mortality
and follow better .feeding and
management practices. He says
that about Jwo thirds of all di
sease troubles in this : ecfion can
be traced to poor management
practices in the flock, resulting
in birds of low vitality. He sug
gests that egg producers give
their flocks plenty of room in
the laying house, an abundance
of water, fresh feed every day,
and provide for proper ventila
tion so as to prevent colds.

"Don't you move, you punk, or I'll let you have it!" warns this officer
in the exciting opening scene of March of Time's "The American Cop."
Statistics show that there has been a marked increase in crimes cf vio
lence since the war ended, and the burden of putting down this crime
wave falls largely on the shoulders of the man who comes to closest grips
, with crime the cop. . . . But not all the duties of the police officer involve
violence. Ho supervises traffic, watching out for the safety of school
children. Occasionally, when childbirth occurs without warning on his
beat, he is even called on to assist in the delivery. His duties are many
and varied, and as the film shows, in a great metropolis like New York
City where the police force is highly specialized, he may cover his beat
in any number of ways ranging from foot patrol to the motorcycle
or even the airplane

Steers Give Boy A
College Education
Harold Marler, a member of
the Four Oaks 4-H Club lin
Johnston County, is going to have
coUege education and he is going
to nake his baby beef calves
pay for it.
Harold fed out his first steer
four years ago. According to
John E. Piland, assistant farm
ayent, he fed corn fram his
father's crib and other borrowed
iVed to that first steer until he
could market him.
The second year Harold de
cided o grow an acre of corn and
an acre of hay along with his
steer, thinking his profits would
be larger. And that's Just ex
actly what they were. Then he
decided on two steers and lar
ger yields of corn and hay.
And so, like Topsy, Harold's
business "just growed." Today he
has five steers and he tells PUand
that he not only has enough feed
to carry them through the sea
son but also some extra money
in the bank.
With another year or two in
school, Harold hopes to continue
to add to the surplus which he
has already buUt up. He is going
to have a coUege education and
he is going to pay his own way.
Piland says that it's excellent
experience for any farm boy to
save the money that he has made
in a project and then re-invest
it for still larger profits. In
speaking of Harold, Piland says:
'When he does realize his am
bition in getting an education, he
ni'.l have earned it hi.rself. He
will be a much more practical
man because of having done so."
"THE SOVIETS' NEIGHBOR"
Can Dr. Eduard Benes maintain the delicate political balance be
tween East and West upon which rests Czechoslovakia's continued
independence? The tough-minded President of this war-ravaged
country, which is all but surrounded by Russia and her dominated
countries, believes a working alliance with Russia need not sever the
Czechs' traditional friendship with the Western democracies. As these
extraordinary scenes from the March of Time film, "The Soviets' Neigh
bor" show, his country has endured much, instituted many changes.
Those who mourned the destruction of Lidice have lived to see retribu
tion brought to the man who carried out its destruction Karl Hermann
Frank . . . Now despite the handicaps of labor shortages and a fack of

all large factories under state-appointed managers hope eventually to
f.o',v a profit. And restoration of the nation's industry, though by no
means complete, is today well under way.

This is also the story of your cost of
living. It has been climbing steadily. De
partment of Labor statistics show that it
has gone up 45.7 since 1939.
But wait a minute! National average
figures show that the cost of electricity has
actually been coming downward. Since
1939 through years of war and short
ages, rising prices and higher taxes the
cost of electricity has decreased more
than 14&l
Actually, the average American family
is now getting twice as much electricity
for its money as it did 21 years ago. The
average family in the area served by this
Company is getting THREE TIMES as much.
Never in all history has electricity done
so many tasks for such little cost.
