CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is remarkably easy
to clean. You can quickly remove
fingerprints, dust and ordinary
stains simply by rubbing the stain
less with a clean damp cloth and
wiping sticky materials as burnt -
on grease, dried food particles and
coffee stains, if you follow the
suggestions offered below.
With reasonable care, your stain
less steel will stay new looking for
years to come.
?Cookware and small applia
ances. To prevent food from hard
ening on your stainless unit, soak it
in hot water as soon as possible
after it is used. Then was it with
any of the common soaps or
detergents.
If foods should harden on your
utensil, fill it with hot, sudsy water
for a few minutes, then give it a
gentle "rubdown" with a cloth, soft
brush or stainless steel pad. On a
highly polished, lustrous surface as
a pan lid, a metal pad is likely to
mar the finish and should not be
used. Always rinse in hot water and
dry with a soft cloth. Detergents
will help you avoid the film that
soap sometimes leaves on stainless.
Foods that burn and stick can
discolor. But with a stainless steel
unit you can remove discolorations
by applying a mildly abrasive
cleanser such as Bon Ami. To
soften an extremely heavy layer of
burnt - on - grease, cover the layer
with an ammonia - soaked cloth for
10 to 15 minutes. Then wash, rinse
and dry as usual.
When hard water leaves a min
eral deposit remove this by swab
bing or covering the bottom of the
unit with a water solution contain
ing vinegar (about 25% by volume)
or phosphoric acid (about 10% by
volume. Follow with cleansing
powder, then wash, rinse and dry.
?Coffeemaker. An oil deposit
may form inside your coffeemaker
if it is not cleaned regularly. To
clean, fill your unit with boiling
water, add a few teaspoonfuls of
baking soda and let the solution
stand for 15 minutes. Then empty
the coffeemaker and wash as usual.
If the oil is extremely heavy, a mild
cleanser or ammonia may also be
needed.
Precautions.
1. Strong bleaches tend to cor
rode many materials and should
not come in contact with stainless
sinks or utensils longer than 30
minutes. When these chemicals are
used, the stainless should be rinsed
thoroughly.
2. Some foods, such as mustard,
mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar,
salt or dressings containing these,
will attack and corrode stainless.
You should never store them in
stainless containers.
3.Ordinary steel wool should be
used sparingly to clean stainless;
particles may lodge in the surface
and rust. Allowing the wool to rest
on a stainless surface may cause a
rusty appearance. For difficult
cleaning jobs such as removing
burned ? on foods, stainless steel
"sponges" or pads are recom
mended. When cleaning a highly
polished, mirror finish with a metal
pad, be especially careful that it
does not scratch the finish.
4. Gritty, hard abrasives will mar
a stainless finish and are not
recommended.
5. Sharp knives or choppers
usually have hard carbon steel
edges and will leave their mark on
stainless surfaces.

CANCER CHECK - Mayor John K. McNeill, Jr. ton right) hands over a
contribution to the 1976 American Cancer Society drive to Mr. and Mrs. Allen
Edwards, co-presidents of the Hoke County Cancer Society. Neighborhood
canvassing is planned for next week.
Cancer Unit Organizes
The newly established Hoke
County Cancer Board and the
Raeford Junior Womans Club will
head up the 1976 American Cancer
Society fund drive here this month.
April has been designated cancer
month and the local residential
drive will be carried out April
26-30. Mrs. Phillip Nordan is
chairman.
Officers on the county board are
Mr. and Mrs. Allen Edwards,
president; Mr. and Mrs. George
king, first - vice president; Mr. and
Mrs. Julian Johnson, second vice -
president; Mr. and Mrs. Palmer
Willcox, treasurer; Mr. and Mrs.
George Wood, secretary, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Hottel are in charge
of memorials and Mrs. Lois
Strother directs services. Mr. and
Mrs. Dave Russell will direct
publicity.
The local board will work to
create better understanding of the
county unit efforts, programs and
services available to residents, and
provide information about the en
tire American Cancer Society
program.
Hoke County has $2,264 left over
from last year's fund drive, but the
surplus will have to be turned back
over to the state fund if it is not
used by August. The money is
made available to cancer patients
to help defray costs of medicine,
bandages, travel expenses to and
from hospitals, and overnight ac
commodations.
Mrs. Strother is establishing a
screening program on applications
for assistance. Cancer patients and
their families should call the public
health department and leave name,
address, and phone number.
One third of the 665,00C
Americans who are afflicted with
cancer each year are alive and well
five years after treatment, tht
American Cancer Society reports.
The survival rate could be raised to
one half through earlier treatment
if more people heeded cancer's
early warning cignalt and had
regular checkups, the society says.
Farm Items
By
Hoke County
Agricultural Extension Agent*
The National Livestock and
Meat Board has asked various
government agencies and private
medical groups to take immediate
action in assuring the American
public that both pigs and pork are
neither the cause nor focus of
medical concern regarding poten
tential influenza outbreaks. Since
the influenza danger is a human-to
human problem, they feel the term
swine influenza is a misnomer and
could have a negative impact on the
pork industry.
There is no known probability of
contracting the disease from eating
pork. Transmission of influenza
from swine to humans is a rarity.
Public health and the American
Medical Association calls it a
swine-like influenza. Growers
should inform people that there is
no danger of eating swine products.
State and federal agencies are
making every effort possible to
eradicate witchweed from N.C.
farms. This is a parasitic weed that
attacks corn and sorghum and can?
live on many grass weeds such as
crabgrass. It cannot grow without
getting nutrients from these plants.
It already has been eliminated in
Anson, Lee. Wake, Pitt. Craven,*
and Wilson counties. The eradi
cation program will be underway in
part of Hoke County this year.
Farmers are encouraged to help
these agencies and to use proper
grass control in all their crops. The
entire program calls for good grass
control, the application of ethylene
gas to make the seeds germinate
and die and close inspection for
escaped plants. If this program is
properly done, and no plants are
permitted to produce seeds, there
will be no witchweed in theses areas
after three years.
The management program for
your tobacco plant beds should be
at its greatest at this point. Plants
have been damaged in the field and
much resetting will have to be
done. Good plants will be in
demand.
Since most of the plastic covers
have been removed, you should
start your treatment for blue mold
and anthracnose at once. You need
to protect the plants and not let the
diseases get started.
The handling of plants at setting
time is most important too. This is
the time that the mosaic virus gets
started. Be sure your plant pullers
do not smoke, chew or dip snuff
while they are working. Dipping
hands in milk every 20 to 30
minutes can be helpful. Get started
right and produce a good crop.
