By mutual aid, too, Canadian farmers did their part. By help- ing .each other they planted and harvested the crops which meant so much to the United Nations. At harvest time groups of neighbors worked first at one farm and then at another. Farmers from dif- ferent parts of the same province, or even from different provinces, became harvest "neighbors" under government-sponsored farm labor inter- changes. Another form ,of mutual aic: among farmers— purchasing and marketing co-operatives—played an important part in achieving Canada's food pro- duction records, and is even more vital now in this time of rehabilitation and reconstruction. These co-operatives reduce farmers' costs, increase their returns from the sale of produce. These co- operatives increase output, improve quality, and reduce the cost to the consumer. At the same time they raise the farm standard of living, increase rural buying power, build self-respecting citizens.„ They contribute to the prosperity of township, village, town, city and nation.

Hello Homemakers) When I saw the twisting muddle of dirty ears in a traffic tie-up oil the main street re- cently, I thought of the tangle of clothes in our laundry last week. Ile. sides ditty play suits, stubborn- streaked collars and grimy work cloth. es, we had decided to wash all the woollen blankets as well as the bed After the linedio of clothes were all moving in the :breeze, three blankets crashed to the ground as part of the line broke I May we remind oth- DUNLOP MAKERS OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TIRES FOR GREATER STRENGTH AND LONGER LIFE The protective principle of armor ... the smooth-riding resilience of rubber . that's the extra value you get when you specify Dunlop Armorized Tires.

THE WIC OHANI ADVANM4IMES er homemakers of the policeman's dir- ections to send a few heavy things at a time along, the line, otherwise re- route them to another space, Let's keep things in order from the beginning and sort the clothes. The main ~idea being to deal with the clean- est things first, slightly soiled articles next, after that aprons, dresses, play suits, then men's work clothes, Un- reliable dyed materials should be done separately—soak for 3 to 5 mins, in strong, salty water, then wash in a high suds (two basins, if dirty) and rinse quickly, Dry thoroughly, Place the garment in an old towel, press out excess moisture, Hang in a breeze to dry quickly or pad with a towel to dry indoors. Stains also complicate laundering, Many are no trouble to remove when fresh, but become permanent if the article is left until laundry day or put immediately into hot soapy water, Make a practice of removing stains as soon as possible. Be sure to shake dusty garments outdoors to get rid of loose dirt. Em- 'pty and whisk out pockets and cuffs, Hard •water is another complication because it is harsh, hard to use, hard on everything and must be specially treated before it can begin to clean clothes. Treat the water with washing soda, borax or •ammonia, Dissolve the softener first; make up a strong solu- tion and keep it in a well-corked bot- tle out of reach of children—use 113 bottle of crystals and fill up with water. • Measure from the bottle exact- ly—too much will 'harm fabrics, too little will fail to do a good job. Mod- erately soft water requires 3 to 4 tbsps, Hard water needs 5- to 7 tbsps. in 10 gallons of water. Now, add the soap and swish the water to create about a three inch suds. From time to 'time during the washing you will need to add more soap because suds die clown. Unless a good lather is maintained, there is I danger of scummy curds forming on clothes. Fresh water is important for a good cleansing of soiled goods. • WROXETER Mr. and Mrs. Phil Durst and two children spent Thursday in Stratford. Miss Eleanor Sanderson, Toronto, was a holiday visitor with her mother, Mrs, Frank Sanderson. Mr. Arkell and Miss Helen Arkell of Teeswater, also visited at the Ritchie home over the week-end.

Soften rinse water to prevent .rparti- .cle$ of soap remaining in goods which • will .turn yellow when ironed. Use the salve proportion of .chemical ,as for the machine. Much depends too, on the wringing. When properly dope the: rollers .press out -most of the soapy. wash water, but if the clothes are ,care.' lesaly fed RI or if pressure of wring-. er is loose, the rinse water soon be, comes soapy, All these -points have a direct influence upon the whiteness of the wash. * Os 4 TAKE A TIP 1. Fruit stains on white or fast colour material usually disappear 'comple- tely if the material is stretched over a bowl and boiling water poured from a height of 2 or 3 feet, 2, Small oil spots as a rule respond to cornstarch or talcum powder pat- ted on immediately. The powder absorbs the oil before it seeps into the threads. If this is not success ful, carbon tetrachloride will do the trick, (It is safe to use and quite effective). 3, Try rubbing ordinary lard thor- oughly into the spots made by black grease tar. This softens the grease, then it may be removed with carbon tetrachloride or a good cleaning solvent. If the cloth is washable the remaining part-of the stain may be bleached out with ja- velle water; if garment can't be laundered use 2 or 3 applications of solvent. 4. Strong ammonia water is a good solution in which to soak a rust stained garment. THE QUESTION BOX Miss T. .M. asks: What are the in- gredients of the woollen wash we were given in the laundry class of house- hold science course? Answer: Make a solution of 1 large biir of 9 oz. of mild soap in 3 quarts water. ‘When partially cool add 2 tbs. borax and 112 cup alcohol.
