The bright summer sunshine seems
to cast a spotlight on your home and
suddenly old familiar things look
rather drab or worn-out, If there's
anything in the world, except you,
that will perk up immediately with a
new outfit, it's the living room furni-
ture! The best way to give your fur-
niture an inexpensive new dress, is
t . sit down at, the sewing machine
a. ' turn out a set of new slip-covers.
s almost as easy to do just that,
as it is to say it, if you know how to
go about it, If you are not very ex-
perienced at sewing, or have not at-
tempted slip-covers before, you might
be wise to take a few lessons in home
decoration at your nearest sewing
center, The experts there can give
you the know-how you need to do a
really professional-looking job, and
show you how to utilize the time sav-
ing attachments for your sewing,
machine.
The ruffle attachment for example,
will help you create just the kind of
ruffle you'll want for the skirt or a
couch cover, The newly perfected
blind stitch attachment can be used
for running up hems in a jiffy, If
i you do not live near a sewing center
l here are some suggestions from the
I Singer Sewing Book by Mary Brooks i Picken, well-known sewing authority,1
for making slip-covers.

Diphtheria is spread by means of
contact with a person suffering ,from
the disease or with a carrier who may
himself be healthy. Epidemics have
been traced to contamination of milk
and water supplies, and in some in,
stances the disease has been spread
by household pets, Diseased tonsils
and adenoids and the presence of
other infectious diseases such as
measles or scarlet fever are important
predisposing conditions,
Safe, Effective Prevention
"Because of the widespread nation-
al immunization campaigns held in
this country it should not be neces-
sary to mention again that for more
than 25 years there has been a safe
and practically 100 per cent effective
preventive against diphtheria in diph-
theria toxoid." states Dr, Anglin, "Yet
as recently as 1949 there were 799 eas-
es reported in Canada, of which 79
died. This represents an unnecessary
and tragic loss of life from a prevent-
able disease.
"To completely eliminate this dis-
ease it is essential that every child
he immunized during infancy and re-
ceive booster doses at regular inter-
vals."

it you are a beginner at making
slip-covers it is wise to make a mus-

alike, the muslin pattern will save
you time in cutting and fitting by
providing one guide for all. After
making one slip cover, however, you
may decide that making a pattern is
not necessary. You will probably have
the confidence and enthusiasm to go
right ahead and cut into the material
for the next one.
