Turn shades frequently while dry-ing so they will dry eenly. This means turning upside down as well as around and around. Here are Shades Easily Cleaned Parchment and metallic shades are easy to clean because they yield so easily to simple dusting, and the material is such that it cannot be penetrated by dirt easily. When more strenuous measures are required, mix together one part of turpentine with ten parts of mineral oil. Use a soft cloth with this and apply, firmly, but gently, to parchment or metallic shades. Vellum or imitation parchment shades which need occasional heavy cleaning may be treated with a liquid wax or turpentine, applied with a soft cloth. Plastic shades which look almost like any fabric yield easily to treat-ment with a sponge and mild suds. Rinse with a sponge and lukewarm, clear water. Colored trimmings on many of the shades, which you feel might not fare well with soap and water can be removed. Cleaning fluid is indi-cated for these. Shade Covers Give Protection or Camouflage After you've cleaned your shades or if you've just bought some new ones why not protect them with a cover? These can be decorative as well as protective, and you may even want to make some for shades which need to be camouflaged. Materials required are an oblong one inch longer than the circum-ference of the shade, at the lower edge, and three inches wider at the top of the bottom measurement of the shade; elastic, wide, enough to go twice around the top edge of the shade and cotton or plastic ruffling. To make the cover, stitch short side of the material together with a seam to press flat, thus giving continuous band. Hem top and bot-tom edges with a first turn and a inch hem, leaving a small opening unstitched, through which elastic is inserted. Cut the two pieces of elastic four inches shorter than the circumfer-ence of the edge at which it is to be inserted. The bottom one, usual-ly will be longer since this is usual-ly wider than the top of the lamp shade. Insert the elastic through the hems and then join securely. These shade covers may be laun-dered since you will undoubtedly choose a material which withstands tubbing. If the elastic is removed, the covers may be ironed flat. Cover Shade Frames With Attractive Paper Many lamp shades are considered worthless, especially when they can-not be properly cleaned, but a wise homemaker can remove the cover and use the frame if she'll take a bit of time to make a cover. Wallpapers are an inspiration for many lamp shade covers, and so are certain types of durable wrap-ping papers as well as other decora-tive papers; such as old maps. You may use coated papers or you can shellac the papers for durability. As soon as the paint dries, cut the pattern from the desired paper, and make certain you leave enough at the edge for proper joining. fs : i: f ' '''''I , I 4-- ' ; , ; I i' 5 f !f 1 I V "V. ?: ''ft!sMMs ttftll. li'illllitiil 111 ' I- : j 1 I By Ertta Haley TjAVE you sometimes noticed that the Ughts in your rooms seem dimmer than they were some time ago? This frequently happens when lamp shades become dusty or Light has to filter through the dust, and naturally it cannot be as bright as when the shades were new. Before you hurry out to invest in more lamps or brighter lights,-loo-to your shades. Many lamp shades can be reno-vated at home, and many, many more shades will need less frequent replacement if you have the know-ho-to care for them. The proper way to clean shades may also be a determining factor in your purchase of shades in the future. Certain types of shades can be cleaned and will, because of this factor alone, gives much more serv-ice than others. The ease of clean-ing, too, will have an important bearing on their selection. Don't become too attached to any lamp shades which are merely decorative as you shop for them. You can always find colors as well as materials which are attractive for your home in those kinds which permit cleaning. Wash Shades Quickly, Then Dry Rapidly Daily dusting and weekly clean-ing with a soft brush attachment of the vacuum cleaner will keep most shades in good condition for a long time, for this keeps dirt from be-coming Imbedded in the fibers. No matter how elaborate a shade you have, if it's fabric and it's sewed rather than glued to the frame it can be washed. Contrasting trimmings, if any, can be removed and cleaned separately.

Rinsing is done in the same way as the washing, dipping up and down in clear water which is just luke-warm. If you have a rubber spray which attaches to your faucet, this does an excellent rinsing job as you can run a soft spray of water all over the shade, inside and out. Dry the shade by placing on a large terry cloth towel or on some-thing like a cookie jar which stands Dust shades with soft brushes . . . Shades that are glued may be wiped off with a damp cloth. If this is done while the shade is new, it can be kept looking nice for a long period. Rims of shades, when heavily soiled, should be d before the shade is washed. Apply soap or .detergent suds with a soft brush. Now for the washing of a shade: plan to do it quickly and when you will have no interruptions. Both washing and drying must be done quickly so that the wire frame can-not rust or stain the fabric of the shade. Make suds in some large vessel, in bath tub, large dishpan or even the washing machine (after the agi-tator is removed) . Lukewarm water is best for this. Dip the shade up and down in this first, then wash both inside and out with a small cover them for attractive protection. high to keep it from touching any-thing.

The program, sponsored by the Elizabethtown Lions Club, was accepted and passed by the state department of health sev-eral weeks ago. The chemical has been added to the city's water supply. The formal presentation of the equipment and materials was made at the monthly town coun-cil. Fluoridation of the water sup- - ply was the major project of the club for the past year. This year the group has undertaken a hospital construction program.

TPEifl A-Win-Tj FAMOUS CHEWINC'C j ISHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY I FISH OR FOWL pISH or fowl or raw red herring? Never mind the herring, lady, for you're in luck with both fish and fowl. Frozen fish is plentiful in your store refrigerator fish to suit all tastes and all purs-- - es, and to put away ' " in your freezer for " tJiii(3 1 s answer to a ture question. Yel-t- i H'iCfc I low perch and Ca--' FEATURE nadian yellow pike : are in big whole-sale supply, which means that your market will be getting more and more of these succulent appetite-satisfier- Don't set your heart on a planked white fish, however, unless it's for a very special fish-eate- r. For whitefish is scarce, and the price is rising higher than the water it comes from. Trout, too, is in the present luxury class but lake herring is coming in in greater quantity at the market, and costing less with each load. Smelts, while few at the moment, are low priced, and make a de-licious cold-nig- supper. And if you like oysters heart-warmin- g stew, or oven - warmed scalloped casserole, you're in luck, too. For fresh oysters are approaching their heyday. The best news is In the fowl line. Broilers are a third more plentiful now than they were a year ago. In fact, apples share the lead with broiling chickens for the tops on the department of agriculture's shopping list. And you know about apples this is the third large crop in a row for them. So chickens are not only plentiful but much more reasonably priced than comparable meats and it's always a feast with chicken dinner. THE FESTIVE TURKEY And turkeys! You can start right now celebrating the holidays with a record turkey crop. Eat turkey often, for you can get turkeys of any size. It doesn't have to be a big party one day, and left-ove-for ten days, any more it can just be a family turkey dinner, be your family 2 or 4 or 10. For the small family, or for the bride who wants to show her skill on this most festive of all meats, the best buy is the small Beltsville white type turkey, which represents 16 per cent of the total crop. In some regions in the south, the pro-portion of these small meaty birds is as high as 41 per cent of the en-tire output. These smaller birds give you just enough for the occasion, and not too much aftermath of soup, hash, croquettes, turkey a la king, which used to make you say "once a year's enough for turkey." In fact, after the first one most small families will have them more often. You may have to wait till later for your chief fixin's, the traditional cranberry accompaniment. While smaller than last year's crop, cran-berries are still 28 per cent above average, and they'll begin pouring In from the west, where they are already being harvested, in plenty of time for Thanksgiving! THE GOOD EGG And while we're speaking of fowl, what's wrong with an occasional taste of second-generatio- n chicken, the good egg? Eggs, you know, have as much protein, vitamin and mineral content as the finest meats. You know a multitude of uses for eggs, but do you know how to treat them and store them, to get the most in food value, and for your money? Three C's cover the storing of eggs clean, covered and cold. Be sure the shells are clean, by wiping them with a damp cloth. Don't wash them until just before use; and store them in a covered bowl or pan away from aromatic foods. Eggs are sensitive creatures, easily influenced by other things too close to them. Stored at low temperatures, eggs keep fresh for weeks. Connecticut Village Gives 'Old Settler' Party, Town's Key NORTH STAMFORD, Conn. The community of North Stamford turned out recently to celebrate Old Settlers Day and to pay honor to "Uncle John" Saunders, proprietor of the general store and one of the few remaining old set-tlers. People came from far and wide to wish "Uncle John" good luck. But for the old merchant it was business as usual during the morn-ing. In the afternoon he closed shop and joined the festivities. In the evening the front porch of the store was converted to a stage for speeches and the presentation of the key to North Stamford to "Uncle John." The square in front of the store was roped off for the ceremonies and square dancing. Proceeds of the Old Settlers Fair were set aside for the repair of the North Stamford community house which was erected in 1926 by Charles D. Lockwood'in memory of his parents. A $5,000 endowment had been insufficient to meet the cost of the building's upkeep. The dancing modern and square with two bands, lasted until mid-night. A chicken barbecue was the suppertime highlight. . "Uncle John," blinking at the electric lights in the square, com-mented "It was just like Times Square." He had boarded up the front of his store to protect the place, just in case things got out of hand. Residents of North Stamford, and area had contributed home-mad- e cakes, vegetables, flowers and other items for the booths in the community hall. As for the dancing, "Uncle John" wasn't much interested. "Dancing was different in my day," he said. "We came with our boots well polished and when we put our arms around our partner, our hands were covered with a silk handker-chief so as not to soil her gown." Most of the 26 descendents of the town's original settlers were on hand for the festivities. KATHLEEN NORRIS 'Simplicity Is Not Just Poverty' T ONG AGO, when I was cub re- - porter," writes Katharine Cros-by Maclnnis in Harpers Magazine, "my editor told me, when I asked for a raise, that if I'couldn't live on $20 a week I couldn't live on $50. I thought then," continues this spirit-ed article, which she calls Living High, "that he was weak in the head. But now I see that he was right." Mrs. Maclnnis and her husband have done nothing sensational in living happily and richfully, and what is more important, living ab-solutely without fear, on an assured income of $90 a month. At least it oughtn't to be sensational. But it actually is. Inevitable Story Her story is the inevitable one when a man and wife are deter-mined to get what they want from life without beggary, debt, charity or worry. Of course they went to an unfashionable neighborhood on the outskirts of town; their first ference between freedom and slavery. And if slavery is the in-sufferable condition to us Amer-icans, freedom is certainly the most prized and wonderful. Make all the money you can, of course. Ask for the raise; climb to the higher place. Make a plan for success, and follow it. But while you are waiting, get down under your income, and you will find that eiderdown itself is not a more wel-come covering on a cold night. Life is short. It's a pity to miss the thrills that come from a good realistic look at one's affairs, and a heroic decision to tear up roots, burn bridges, tilt with windmills and in every other way defy meta-phors and the opinion of the neigh-bors at the same time. For Mrs. Maclnnis' editor was right; if you want to live on any income at all today, you can, without worry and without debt. You can see all the good old movies, you can buy all the classics, and you can eat well. And if you can't manage that on $1,500 a year you couldn't manage it on that much a month. For proof of this look at your friends who have $1,500 a month. They are talking money trouble just as hard. as everyone else. They talk of taxes, insurance, wages, car maintenance, household equipment, dentist bills and the cost of private schools. One family 1 know on about that income keeps a son at a school whoso charges are $200 a month. Junior recently bor-rowed another boy's car and had an accident. "So I suppose the next thing is a car for Junior," said his mother with a sigh. ". . . had fruit trees . . ." home-ownin- g venture was of a house that cost $825 and stood on a 50x120 lot, and had fruit trees. They preserved the fruit, raised vegetables, and paid $10 a month until they owned their place. After awhile they sold this house at a small profit and bought another, a bungalow with a view. Mrs. Mac-lnnis rarely has to buy clothes; perhaps she would answer that as a dignified Boston lady did: "We do not buy hats; we have our hats." When they entertain they turn to good old Boston beans and Apple Jonathan. I don't know Apple Jon-athan, but I do remember that my hospitalities years ago used to run to Spanish omelet, hot biscuit, and chocolate cornstarch with a little orange peel in it, and I imagine that it is about as economical a menu. Of course the Maclnnises some-times augmented their income, which was not always as much as $90, in many small ways. But they lived on the $90 and put everything else aside for a backlog. The backlog provides tickets when they travel. They are elderly persons and they love travel. Every little while they rent their house, go to some attractive place and settle down. They say that for what they want in the way of housing and food, expenses run about the same everywhere. Gay Adventure Well, theirs is a gay adventure, and you feel it as you read Living High. And you wonder how many families with five and 10 times that income are as free from worry, and, like them enjoying every minute of life. This woman has found the secret; the secret of not struggling to get more money than you legitimately can claim, for one thing, and not living at a rate that indicates that you have much more than you have. The difference be-tween owing $453 in old bills, and having $453 in the Dank, is the dif- - No Privileges "Madam," said the ticket exam-- f , iner, "you cannot travel first-clas- s 3 ' with a third-clas- s ticket."

Rural Progress Drive sponsored by the North Carolina board of farm or-ganizations and agencies. The county making the most progress during the next 12 months will be named "County of the Year in Rural Progress" and will re-ceive a $1,000 award. The money must be used to further a project of lasting benefit to the people ol that county. Director David S. Weaver be-lieves the program offers possibili-ties of becoming one of the most movements for the benefit of the home towns of the state and rural communities. In. selecting the "County of the Year," consideration will be given to desirable adjustments made in agriculture, improvements made in agriculture, improvements in home-makin- g and family living, advances on a community level, provision of opportunities for rural youth, and the cooperation of all agencies, groups, and individuals. Goal of the adjustments in agri-culture, Weaver says, should be to make the best and fullest use of land, labor, and other resources for the highest economic return on a sustained basis. ONCF OVER . I Traditions Fade in Modern Age I By H. I. Phillips THE old landmarks, guideposts, traditions, former ways of life, and the established institutions con-tinue to fall. If it isn!t one thing it's another. Now it is Adolphe Menjou's mustache. It has disappeared, and the world as we knew it has taken another blow. Despite all the changes, all the upsets, all the fade-out- s we had felt that the Menjou mustache was safe, a bulwark in the fight for the things of yesteryear. They could kill honor in great governments, ef-face all concepts of international law, destroy world amity and hack at the foundations of freedom, but Adolphe's mustache stood firm and indestructible. The old China could fall, British colonial rule topple, the economy of countless nations col-lapse . . . but every dawn saw the Menjou upper lip intact, unadulter-ated, strong, confident and reas-suring. a Poland, Czechoslovakia and other states could lose their liberties, Churchill could lose a premiership, "Oklahoma" could lose a booking, MacArthur could lose his rale in Japan, the Yanks could even lose a world series, but the Menjou mustache re-mained unthreatened and Intact. Boy and man, it had been with Adolphe, forty years, an Ameri-can institution. The children, pop, mom, grandpa, grandma and even great grandpop had been raised on it. It held a place on the screen with the Metro lion, the Pathe rooster, the hay-stack and the sunset finale. All these things might go, we thought, as the white Russian wolf-hound, the knitting scene and the silent drama had perished . . . but the Menjou face would weather every threat, survive every attack and stand firm against fire, storm or revolution. But, lo, this, too, has passed away. The sad thought is that it took no terrific battle, no hand-to-han- d trench fighting, no long, bitter strug-gle to accomplish the deed. Adolphe objected a little and put up some resistance, but it was only token resistance. All that was finally re-quired to get his consent to the deed was $10,000! For ten grand, the great man surrendered and shaved off the most famous mus-tache in movie history, the hirstute adornment that had been linked with the moving pictures down through the years. Just for a pittance he sold us, Jnst for some silver and gold, Jauntily taking the action. Joining the clean-shave- n fold. Just for the ten grand he left us, Giving the word "Let 'er rip!"

Religious Fuss Caused by Probe House Committee Asks Minister of Red Ties LOS ANGELES The House activities committee in-quiry into filmland Communists here created a religious controversy as an unexpected side-ligh- t. Religious leaders commented both pro and con on whether the com-mittee had the right to call Dr. Stephen H. Fritchman, local Uni-tarian minister, before it and ques-tion his alleged Communistic ac-tivities. The argument reached the edito-rial columns of the Los Angeles Times. A pub-lished in that newspaper from Dr. George A. Warmer, district super-intendent of the Methodist church, denounced the committee in its move against the Unitarian min-ister. The letter termed the commit-tee's activities "pressure par ex-cellence against freedom of religion, right of assemblage and free thought in the realm of morals." "All Protestantism must recog-nize that this is the path Hitler traveled to power," it said. "It is McCarthyism in flower." Dr. Warmer stated that the com-mittee "declares war on the right to think and let think and damns the consciencemakers as sub-versives even though no evert act can be attached to their opera-tions." The Times commented editorially that "Dr. Warmer appears to be so utterly mistaken that his letter cannot be allowed to pass without challenge." South Carolina Town Grows With H-Pla-nt MONTMORENCI, S. C This little town, that has been unnoticeable for more than 60 years, under the impetus of the near-b- y soon will be out of the "little" class. A rapid growth has taken place this year.. Residential construction, an increase of business establish-ments and an upsurge in population are in the offing. Eight brick homes have recently been completed and two more are under construction. Present plans call for at least twelve more new dwellings as soon as materials are available. These modern homes are being built by J. Wiley Woodward, one of the town's leading citizens. Mrs. Ida Ricks, who operates a general merchandise store here, is planning a super-mark- to fur-nish supplies for the newcomers. Other small businesses are plan-ning to be enlarged. Small Town Couple Raise Game Birds at a Profit VIDALIA, Ga. Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Joyce started a strange ca-reer of rearing wild game birds in captivity several years r.go. It has proved to be a profitable business. Quail, pheasants and chukkar par-tridge are the most profitable. The quail sell for $5 to $6 per pair. Pheasants sell at $7.50 per pair. The business was started as a hobby several years ago and recently put on a commercial basis. |
