Your best weapon in the fight against household dust that ac cumulates on wood furniture is none other than a deem, soft, lintless cloth; the kind you can use once and wash, reports Mrs. lillie Little, extension housing and house furnishings- specia list, North Carolina State Uni versity. Cheesecloth is excellent. Here’s why jtust the use of a soft, clean cloth is 'good. It you have new wood furniture, chances are it already has a good, hard finish so only a regular dusting off is all these pieces need. If you possess antique furni ture or fine, old pieces of wood furniture, j-ou can actually safe guard the finish better by dust- the surface with a clean cloth rather than adding on layers of cleaners or polishes. What hap pens when yoiu are over-generous with polishes or waxes is this; they build up on the surface of the furniture; actually attract TOore dust and may leave gummy, soiled surfaces on your wood furniture. Also the “'antiqued look” given to some furniture items imay be destroyed by over- zealous cleaning and polishing. Yau’ll still wish to keep a clean suriface on your fui-niture. So when the wood takes on a dull, soiled look, wash it gently but quickly with suds made of a light duty detergent; wipe off the suds. Then, igo over the surface quickly with a clean cloth dipped in clear water. Immediately buff surface dry with a lintless cloth. If you wish to wax the surface, luse a thin coat of paste wax. Buff it diligently. Although the way furniture is used determines how often it needs cleaning, once a year Is of ten enough to wash wood furni ture and apply a coat of paste wax. Otherwise, rely on those clean, lintless dust cloths you own.

His real name was John Chap man, but wherever he traveled he was known as “Johnny Apple seed.” Whatever John Chapman may have been In fact or fancy, there is no doubt that he was as thorough going an example of good old-fashioned American iiT- dividiialism as ever copped out a clearing. ' J 'The dissemination of appl^ seed an<} the cultivation of the trees was a passion with him. He would clear a small area in some open part of the forest, girdle the remaining trees standing upon i^ build a brush fence around it and plant his apple seeds. This done, he would move on 20 miles or so and again go through th? same operation. This Johnny Applesced -project was begun in 179!(/(^en CJhap* man was 23 ye^ of me. Laterj when the setUers m/5ved in tq open up their lands, the fruits of his labors wmre apparent, for hd had done his jbb well.Tt was'nd4 his ‘fault df every settler did not have an orchard planted and growing when he staked his claim. It was not until 1935 that John Chapman’s birth and family con nections were trailed to the right place iin Leominster, Mass. Leo minster now even points out the traditional Chapman homesite. There the Massachusetts Fruit Grower’s Association, in 1910, erected a little granite monument with a bronze inscription which reads; “He planted seeds that others i-ndght enjoy fruit.” This is a brief history to refresh your memory about the escapades of Johnny Appleseed and to call your atteneion to a oommeorative stamp to be issued in September honoring this pioneer apple grow er. Should yoj be interested in reading the complete story of this remarkable person, his tra vels and family connections, I i^uijgest that you get a copy of “Johnny Appleseed—Man and - Myth” by Price. It is published by the ludiana University Press, Bloomington, Ind. It may be avail able in your local library. A Johnny Appteseed Colmme- morative 5c postage stamp will be issued on September 24, 1966. First-day cancellations will be from Leominster, Mass., on this date. Individxials desiring first- day covers should do the follow ing: (1) address as many enve lopes as you wish to friends, plac ing your name tmd address top left; (2) obtain-JO-iqOTey order covering the cost oif stamps; (3) enclose all material in an enve lope and address as follows: Johnny Appleseed Fruit-Day Is sue, Postmaster, Leotminster, Mass., 01453.
