WINGHtai ADVAIIMTIMES Thursday, No R 30* 194C • SW NM ASSAM $1,60 Nom* iblosisMt Hello Homemakers! Back in the days when a ride wasn't a luxury, I used to imagine stories, about all the families whose houses we passed, by looking at the wash on the clothesline, miniature pair of overalls flapping in the breeze next to a pair of big ones meant that junior was following his farmer father's footsteps. I could al- -ways tell when winter was coming by the bright patchwork quilts hung out to air before they were put on the beds, or company had just left when the big tablecloth and numerous sevi- ettes were out. Times have changed though and it seems that the laundry job is piece work nowadays, Many wartime fab- tics require separate suds and rinsing. Wonder how often you hear, "Mother, you didn't wash out my green dress". However, it may be that Mary did not put her dress out to be washed, so it's wise to have a separate clothes bag for each person, or a clothes hamper. The first step in washing, after the clothes are collected is to sort them according to colour, kind of material, and how •dirty they are. You'll have done this many times of course, but do you sort them on a table instead of stooping to the floor—and then un- fasten buttons, turn the pockets out, close zippers, brush of any dirt and remove stains. Over-night soaking is no longer recommended, as the dirt gets saturat- t4 in the threads, but if the white things are put in warm, soapy water fel: 10 to. 1.5 minutes it helps looscii 'the soil. yy.,..tg out the clothes and put in washing machine. It should be filled about two-thirds full. If you have hard water, add water softener to the water before adding soap. (Suds shoald be two inches high during the whole washing time.) Have a second lot of soiled articles to go into the Suds—a few at a time will remove soil more quickly.. Grandmother still uses the old cop- per boiler to cook the clothes in but unless there is an illness in the family and the clothes must be sterilized it is Dot necessary. There are reliable bleaching agents on the market. Fol- tow the instructions to insure the best results with their use. 'Rinsing, however, is one of the most important steps in washing. You need plenty of water, and frequent changes, to take out all the suds and soiled water from the clothes. Three rinsings are wonderful if you can do it, because it's the soap curd left in the clothes that helps to give them that tattle-tale grey. Otherwise, two rinsings will do a good job. Then dunk the shirt collars and cuffs, children's dresses, aprons, cur- tains and the like in thin starch, This mixture is made by mixing % cup of laundry starch with a cup of cold water, then pouring in two quarts of THE MIXING BOWL In today's menu I'm going to give you a recipe for Springerle from an old European recipe which I just obtained from a friend who says her cook book goes back to 1868. File, it carefully, for these old recipes, so dear to many hearts, are not easily come by when you want to make your Christmas cookies. Today's Menu Breakfast Orange or Tomato Juice jug boiling water, Cook for five minutes and add one quart of cold water, No matter how cold it is, we hang the clothes out carefully so that it'll be easy to take them down for sprinkling. Of course, if towels and sheets can be dried thoroughly, they can be folded and put away without ironing—it's so much less work. The laundry work is never finished though, until, you've washed out the machine in a little soapy water, rinsed it off, wiped off the wringers and re- leased the tension on the rollers, and rolled it away from the water around the drain.

PHIL INFER OF LAZY MEADOWS I must confess to being fascinated' by cats, in spite of the fact that I am not fond of them by way of making them pets. People who fondle cats and• try and read something human into • their actions leave me cold. Of all the animals, I ai-n convinced that cats are the least human. A dog does seem to have -some traits that through the years his breed picked up from association with man, A cat remains a crafty-beast of the jungle. I have never been to a' jungle.' In all probability I will never have the opportunity of going to darkest Africa but I have read a great many books describing the deep attraction such places have. One explorer wrote of the thrill he had in sitting away up in a shooting box in a tall tree watching the tigers come out to a watering hole. He also confessed to being so completely absorbed in watching that he forgot to shoot at them. I was standing looking out the kitchen win- dow today at the swirling November' wind racing up the laneway when Midnight, our black cat padded across the laneway. Every movement was one of perfect precision , . the, muscles rippling under the sleek, black hide. Watch a cat sometime, Even when they rub against your pants leg, as it looking for affection, they seem to never let their guard down completely. They are ready to instantaneously spring into action . .their claws sheathed for the moment in deceptive fur and their teeth covered, The same thing applies when, a eat crawls up on your lap.

CONSERVATION CLIPS By Marnie Edison Ringer , In most households there are draw- ers and cupboards that hold many odds and ends that one day may be useful . . . goodness knows -when, but you never know. Look at that collec- tion in the kitchen drawer . . . now what on earth are you going to do with all those old rubber jar rings . they're well past their canning days. Well . . . here's what you're probably going to do. Sew them along the sides and corners of your scatter rugs for anchorage. An immobile rug at the bottom or top of the stairs is not a subject to be slipped over lightly. Don't Skip the Skim Skim milk is a nutrition winner . . . pays on protein, calcium, and riboflavin. Use it anywhere you would use whole milk and make a point of it too if you're cutting calorie corners. Heat by the Ton And make every ton heat! Today's briefing includes both primary and secondary targets. If you can get through to it ihere's the main objective. Check to see that the furance is in good condition. Badly fitting doors and cracks allow air to enter where it is not wanted and either makes fuel burn too fast or cools off the heating surface. Refit the doors, clearouts and dampers and fill cracks with furnace cement. If you don't make this target today, remember, you'll have to eventually. Meanwhile circle this for a kill: Don't stand at an open door gossip ing, If your guests insist on a. half- hour chat after they've said thank you and goodby for the third time be firm..

WINTER CONTROL OF HORSE BOT FLIES By co-operative action in early win- ter preferably before December 15, the numbers of horse bot flies that may appear in any district in the following year may be greatly reduced. The bots, of which there are three species (known as the nose, the throat, and the horse hot fly, respectively), spend the winter in the stomachs of horses, Treatment of all the horses in a district is the logical procedure. Carbon bisulphide is usually admin- istered in" gelatine capsules to expel the loots from the stomach. It is a liquid which,-readily forms a gas which is fatal' to the hots but harmless to the animals when given in the recom- mended dose of, 1% fluid , drams to each 250 pounds of body weight of the horse. . Only a qualified veterinarian should administer the capsules. It is the usual practice to starve the horses 18 hours before treatment and for about five hours afterwards. As in the community treatment for warbles in cattle in any district, co-operative. action by- horse owners in specified areas brings good results.

We were shy and bewildered. There were so many people and so few we knew. The sub- jeets were strange and new,, and even the walls of the school seemed to glare at us coldly. Soon however, we learned to feel at home and to know our teachers, and friendships which may never be broken, sprang up. Then we could imagine that far-distant day when we should leave school. It would be such a happy occasion for we should know so very much. Our school days sped by quickly and hap- pily. Each year brought with it in- creasing difficulties in the maze of Studies. Now at last ,we have reached that time for which we longed in first form. But alack! it is quite unlike your earlier expectations. We have not learned everything.
