(TO Moths de stroy enough wool each year to dress approximately one million persons,, says Julia E. Brekke, clothing authority. at the North Dakota Agriculture college. However, clothing loss be cause of hungry moths can be cut down if you remember a few pointers listed by the college .expert. Clean all woolens before storing. Moths are not attract ed to man-made fibers but are attracted to certain types of soil, so it's also a good idea to clean clothes made of syn thetic fibers. When storing clothes, fasten all closings and hang on sturdy hangers. Bags with zipper closures are more se cure. The old standby, moth balls, along with cakes or crystals, are the most widely used preventives, but sprays also are effective. When using plastic bags, put the moth balls or crystals in a thin cloth bag so they won't touch the plastic. It's wise to place the container with moth balls or crystals at the top of closet or bag so vapors will filter down through the garments. 9&s3Hp i!&sM vWJftwM'' i SoA' 4.69 oach Regular 5.98 Summer sunback dresses . . gay, colorful drip-dry cottons and blends The freshest, prettiest sunback dresses that ever graced a Summer ward robe . ; . cool and refreshing as a mountain breeze.

The article recalls that at first there was Only a stove and some shelves for equipment, with n6 refrigerator or cooler. About 40 children were served a hot dish with crackers, with no cost to the children, and the PTA under - writing the project. Later it became necessary to charge two sents a pupil, then five and finally ten cents. At that point the school board began paying the cook's salary of $40 a month. When the Oregon State School Lunch program was organ ized, Mrs. Ragsdale took over the job of preparing the lunches under the new pro gram. The article states that both teachers and principal praise Mrs. Ragsdale. One teacher said "Mrs. Ragsdale can charm the young into eating" and the principal wrote "Mrs. Ragsdale serves 110 children daily with the enthusiasm she might give to the preparation of a home dinner. She makes of it an enjoyable thing." Mrs. Ragsdale, in turn, praised the teachers, saying they create the right .atmos phere for a successful lunch program. Mrs. Ragsdale is president of the Una B. Inch unit of the Oregon School Food Service association. Mrs. Inch, super visor of rural schools in Jack son county for many years, has worked with the schools I to provide a superior lunch program in the county. The- cooks have' had annual con ferences in the county, and have attended conferences in Corvallis.
