4 Heppner Gazette Times, August 20, 1942 Mrs. America Meets The War With the familiar tag, "100 percent wool," getting scarcer, have you been wondering how you would know just what you were getting when buying new garments? The answer is that all woolen goods of fered for sale must be labeled as to the amount and kind of wool and other fiber used. A recent WPB order limiting civilian use of new wool for all woolen articles, tends to stretch our decreased wartime supplies by increasing the amount available for blending with other fibers. However, in blending, the least amount of wool permitted is 20 percent and the maximum is .65 percent. Technical experts of the OPA Consumer division say that the 20 percent minimum assures us that blended fabrics will be warm en ough. . If you see a new dress with a set of copper or copper-plated buttons, don't think there has been a viola tion of the WPB order. Of course, copper has been banned for the man ufacture of costume jewelry since May. However, some costume jew elry accessories and buttons already made up were frozen in hands of dress manufacturers. Since these stocks aren't particularly suitable for any other purpose, the materials al ready fabricated have been released and they can be used as ornaments for dresses. , Apartment dwellers without an overabundance of space often cot around the guest room problem by letting Aunt Minnie sleep on the studio couch in the living room However, after November 1, studio couches and sofa beds containing iron and steel cannot be made. The same WPB order which dealt this death blow also prohibits the pro duction of mattresses using iron or steel in innerspring construction af ter September 1. With factories turning out fewer rugs and carpets, the care of those in Mrs. America' home is a wartime must. Consider that in one 9 x 12 rug there is enough jute to make J SStf&V IMA ABOUT ECONOMY' y&teK&ad1 HY IT BURNS im JOHN MWmMW You're in for the surprise of your life when you see and drive the John Deere Model "H" the sensational new small tractor that handles two-row equipment and completely replaces animal power on small and large farms every where, cutting costs 'way below their former level, and making farming more profitable. And when you learn the price, you'll wonder how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor that sells for so little. In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel on the many jobs within its power range, as would larger tractors handling the same load. Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your life."

A 9 x 12 rug also con tains enough wool to make seven pairs of army trousers, and the wool, you know, that goes into floor cov erings comes from Australia, China and South America. To help pro long the life of a rug, never beat or shake it, and it is a good idea to place carefully arranged newspaper, mats or padding under it. And on the topic of giving extra care to some of the household ar ticles made carce by the war, don't delay in having necessary repairs made to your vacuum cleaner. Con sult a reliable repair man. And here are some pointers offered by the OPA Consumer division for the care of this household valuable: Clean and oil the motor regularly, if the manufacturer's directions say so. Don't put off emptying the dust bag. It's better to vdo so after using the vacuum, and occasionally do a more thorough job by turning the bag it self inside out and cleaning with a brush. And here's one of the best lessons in conservation. Don't leave the motor running when you aren't actually using the vacuum. Remem ber to turn it off when you answer the doorbell or the telephone be cause you may be kept longer than you expect. If you've been wondering about the availability of replacement parts in the event that anything were to go wrong with your furnace this winter, relax. Although the WPB has prohibited the use of iron or steel in excess of certain specified quotas for furnaces, there are no restric tions placed on the manufacture of replacement parts. Even the wooden clothespin has found its way into a price regula tion. Darning eggs also were brought under a price ceiling in the regula tion which covers many wood pro ducts made by turning or shaping lumber to a pattern on a cutting machine. Waste fats are needed because grease makes glycerine and glycer- me makes gun powder. M! 'Iildd: J IONE NEWS Misfortune Visits James Lindsay Twice By MRS. ELMER GRIFFITH lone, August 18.

Storage Tips Given by Prof A least 15 vegetables commonly grown in Oregon are suitable for storage in the fresh state, thereby prolonging the supply of fresh pro duce through the fall and winter months, points out A. G. B. Bouquet, vegetable crops specialist at Oregon State college. In one of the series of food-for-victory leaflets issued by the exten sion service Professor Bouquet de scribes methods of storing beets, carrots, parsnips, salsify, turnips, rutabagas, cabbage, celery, onions, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, and dried beans and peas. With probably more produce pro duced in victory gardens this year than has been grown by the ordin ary farmer or city dweller in dec ades, a considerable surplus of some of these vegetables is sure to re main at tne end ot the growing season in many gardens. Here on the west coast especially, market gardening has been seriously dis rupted by the removal of Jap gar-, deners, hence the family that stores its own vegetables will be far more certain of having a fresh supply through the winter than those who depend on the market. One of the first essentials in suc cessful storage is to choose only sound vegetables that are free from serious blemishes or injuries and then to handle them carefully while they are being placed in stor age, says Professor Bouquet. The leaflet, which may be had free at any extension office, describes both bin and pit storage and gives many hints on avoiding spoilage.
