ALL THAT'S NEEDED IS A DESK ? Things seem organized and ready for work (except for something to work on!) during moving day for the home extension office last Friday into their new offices in the new county office building. ^From The Home Agent's Desk; By Ellen Willis HINT - Handle dry ice "with care". Be sure the room is well ventilated when you use it. Never touch dry ice with bare hands. SCHEDULE Monday, September 29 , 8:30, Staff Conference. Wednesday, October 8, a tour has been planned to the North Carolina Zoological Park near Asheboro. Home Demonstration ladies and members of their families have been invited to go along. More Hints - Using home canned vegetables and home canned meat? Be sure to boil them after opening - before you taste them. Heating usually makes any odor of spoilage more noticeable. Home canned meat or poultry should be boiled 20 minutes in a covered pan before tasting. If meat develops the characteristic odor of spoiled meat - destroy it without tasting. Stuffing fresh... or thawed meat, poultry or fish? Put the stuffing in lightly without packing to allow heat to penetrate more quickly. IS YOUR FIREPLACE SAFE? -BE YOUR OWN CHIMNEY SWEEP If you've paid no attention to your chimney for years, you're courting trouble. Soot buildup can lead to an inferno - hot chimney fire that could burn your house down. But ?? you can be your own chimney sweep, according to University of Kentucky Extension housing specialists ... "it's a easy to do." Cleaning chimneys is also a very messy job, unfortunately. First things first - be sure your fire is out. Leave the flue open and block off the fireplace from inside while you work to keep soot and trash from getting all over your room. Take a gunny sack - or heavy grocery size paper bag ? with rags or straw, add a rock (for extra weight) and tie the bag to a long rope. Climb up on your roof - but wear shoes that will allow you to grip the roofing material. Lower the sack down into the chimney and pull it back and forth a few times. That's it. Check the inside of the chimney with a powerful flashlight beam to see if bricks or rocks are still strongly mortared. Examine the chimney from inside the house (just look up!). If you do have loose pieces of mortar - be sure to fill in the cracks with fresh mortar. When you're using the fireplace again be sure to keep the flue closed when the fire is completely out. Otherwise the chimney can act as a siphon and drain warm air out of your house.

The bicentennial event is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and is under the direction of the Red Springs Bicentennial Committee. A Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival will open the three-day event on Friday morning in down- town Red Springs. Co-sponsored by the Southeastern North Carolina Arts Council, exhibits and sales will be featured on Friday and Saturday. Fayettevill's Cross Creek Rifles and the Royal North Carolina Highland Regiment will be two of 18 military units participating. They are reorganized Revolutionary War units, and are authentic in dress, weaponry, and in drills. The 2nd N. C. Regt. of Godwin, 6th N. C. Regt. of Charlotte, Wilmington Minutemen, the N. C. Bicentennial Brigade of Raleigh, and the 84th Regt. of Foot, Royal Highland Emigrants of Lumberton also will participate. Out of state units expected include troops from St. Augustine, Fla.; Williamsburg and Alexandria, Va.; Nashville, Tenn.; Jonesboro, Ga.; and Columbia, S.C. All events are admission free and open to the public, with the single exception of the colonial ball to be held on Friday evening. The ball will be in the Flora Macdonald College ? now Robeson Country Day School - main building, with music by Wally Hencamp band of Fayetteville. Proceeds from ticket sales will be used to defray expenses of the week-end celebration. A Bicentennial Salute on Saturday evening in the Flora Macdonald auditorium will present the 82nd Airborne Chorus of Fort Bragg, and the Maxton Centennial Singers, the Pipes and Drums of N.C. State U., and others. The public is invited. Class reunions, Highland games and dance contests, and drills will be held at the encampment site on Saturday afternoon prior to a simulated Revolutionary battle. The battle will commemorate the 1781 skirmishes at Raft Swamp and at McPhaul's Mill between loyalists ? mostly Highland Scots who had settled the area earlier in the 18th century, and patriots under Col. Thomas Wade. The battle re-enactment will be repeated on Sunday afternoon. The concluding event on Sunday will be a concert at the encampment site. The North Carolin National Guard's 440th Army Band under the direction of Millard Burt will play. CINEIVIA SUNRISE rnwictmtf Starting Friday for 5 Dayi I Starting Friday ?
