Iloilo Homemakers! Some folks
dread housecleaning, but there is a
built-up urge to refurbish the home
weeks before spring-cleaning. Once
you begin the work there are sounds
that seem to cheer you on to your
goal, Listen to the teasing voice of
the chamois as you polish the win-
dows, the cheerful tinkle of the glass-
ware as you shine the contents in the
cupboard and the snap flap of the
clothes hung out to dry. So, like a
child, gathering the first flowers of
spring, a homemaker uses all the en-
thusiasm and beauty she can muster
for a housecleaning spree, thls assures
happy family living.

3. When hanging a coat or dress on
the line, use two coat hangers hook-

blow the garment off.
4. To clean a velvet jacket 'hang it
over a big kettle of boiling water

the coat with a piece of velvet till
the nap is raised again. Let the
steam penetrate cuffs and collar a
second time if necessary.
5. Glazed chintz must be ironed on
the right side to bring out the lus-
tre. Use as much pressure as pos-
sible.
6. Before washing jeans and other
garments use a tooth-brush (about
to-be-discarded) to dislodge dirt in
the pocket corners.
7. To remove spots on suede card-
table covers or bags try rubbing
with an emery paper or crocus cloth
and then steam over a boiling kettle.
8. Wrap evening bags, stoles and
other accessories with silver or gold

Forest Fire Danger
Great This Year
Forest protection officials just don't
like the look of things this year in
Ontario—they sense an earlier than
usual forest fire hazard situation gen-
erally, according to a Department of
Lands and Forests bulletin released
this week,
Aircraft patrols over protected areas
in Southern Ontario were commenced
in mid-March this year by the De-
partment. In addition to fire detection,
the pilot has been checking the ice
line on lakes and rivers. Recession of
this line to Bobcaygeon was noted on
March 24th last—an unusually early
date for thig condition that far north.
April forest fires in Ontario have
ranged from a low of 11 in, 1947 to 286
in 1942. In 1945, 134 fires in April
burned nearly 7,000 acres. But the De-
partment considers that conditions in
April this year may reach the stage
set in May '48 when 473 fires destroyed
800,000 acres of forests, mostly of
white pine and spruce. Early cottagers
and anglers are among the most fre-
quent offenders.
"However," Forest Protection Chiefk.
T. L. Mackey points out, "sines over
80% of forest fires are started by

winds are changeable."
To Call Tenders
For Huron Home
Tenders for a 60-bed addition to the
Huron County Home, Clinton, will be
called shortly. A. H. Erskine, Huron
County clerk, said last week.
He indicated contract for the new
wing, to be completed next year,
would likely be awarded during the
June session of Huron County Council
in Goderich.
Mr. Erskine told members of the
County Home committee that L. a
Bridgman, London architect, had been
authorized to call for bids on the ad-
dition.
Including in the contract will he
renovation to a section of the 55-year-
old building, which, with its present
80 beds, has long been filled to capac-
ity.
Thirty-five potential residents of
the home are currently being cared
for in district hospitals. Cost of the
addition has not yet been established.
'Taxpayers may make payments on account
of 1953 taxes up to 80 per cent of 1952 taxes.
Interest at the rate of Four per cent, per
annum wil be allowed on such prepayments.
Prepayments of taxes must be made at the

CHEVROLET s.
,‘‘,
According to registrations (obtained from sources sub-
scribed to by the industry and considered to be reliable)
truck users in every single province bought more Chevrolets
again in 1952, than any other make.
And so year after year Chevrolet's popularity proves
beyond any question of doubt that Chevrolet and only
Chevrolet provides the sturdy durability, trouble free per-
formance and long low-upkeep life that means real satisfac-
tion to truck users.
Yes, it is difficult to imagine more convincing proof of
Chevrolet's superiority, for such clear-cut and overwhelming
preference can lead to but one conclusion:
Chevrolet trucks must be better, must enjoy solid ad-
Wing
a
vantages over other trucks. Such preference must rest on
a firm foundation of good, sound value. And, of course, it
(lees — as owners of Chevrolet trucks can testify.
Chevrolet trucks are widely known for their ability to
hold hauling costs down. They are known for their power,
their stamina, for their exceptional gas and oil economy, 'as
well as their low-cost upkeep. And on these same counts,
you can expect 1953 Chevrolet trucks to be even mom
outstanding.
So before you buy any truck, see how much more
Chevrolet trucks offer you. Stop in and see us soon.
