THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE________________________ April 5, lt»51 Obedient Pets Need Well-Trained Owners Owning a puppy is one of childhood’s treats, but good owners are trained as well as their pet3. Like a human baby, the animal variety needs special care. Punishment should be gentle—mere taps with a folded newspaper—never a stick or hard object. Their baths should be done in three quick steps: A thorough wetting with warm water, a good soaping, and finally a rinsing. Never let your pup stand in chill, dirty water. Then—a quick and gentle rub dry with a clean, warm towel, followed by a combing and brushing, will produce a pet that looks shiny as silk, ready to frisk with his young owner without being afraid. This is the expert advice of a pet shop owner whose views appear in a current issue of American Home Magazine.

Lets Get Together Clean out the attic & that hack room & take the Stuff to the HOW TO SAVE $100 A YEAR If visions of a new coat, a tele vision set, or perhaps a new elec tric appliance for your kitchen dance through your head, you’ll do well to heed the advice of laundry specialists and do your laundry at home. Doing so will not only net you $100 a year over what you would have spent with a commercial laundry, but you’ll have an additional saving on wear and tear on your clothes! These results came out recently when some experts became curi ous over just how much the aver age housewife could save if she did her laundry at home instead of sending it out They went at it two ways— 1. the imme diate weekly cost of com mercial laun dry versus home laun dry, and 2. the long- range cost represented by wear and tear on washable items. The home economists set the nationwide average weekly wash as weighing approximately 28 pounds. Research brought out that the average commercial laundry rate was 10 cents a pound while home washing (including electric ity, hot water, soap, bleaches, etc.) ran about 3 cents a pound. In one year alone there was found to he an approximate 1100 sav ing through laundry done at home. The long-range cost comparison was even more surprising. During 1949 and 1950 Hotpoint made a series of tests on the life expect ancy of clothes commercially laundered and those home laun dered. Three typical washable items were selected for the test: men’s shirts, women’s slips, and bath towels. All articles were identical in make and were in use the same length of time. The method of washing was the only difference. In the case of men’s shirts, the home-washed samples took 53 washings before they were un wearable. The laundry-washed shirts had to be discarded after only 26 washings. Translated into dollars and cents, the tests proved that with an average shirt costing from $3.00 to $5 00, the saving alone on seven home-laundered shirts would amount to from $21 to $35 a year! The same ratio held true in testing the women’s slips and the bath towels: in every case the articles lasted Church Activities FREE METHODIST CHURCH North Mill City Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Morning worship 11 a.m. Junior church 11:00 a.m. Evening service 7:30 pjn.

They began to look at the home laundering methods to make sure of top efficiency in time, money, and effort expended. They suggest you give some thought to your actual day for washing. A major advantage of the home machine is that any day or every day can be wash day. If your family is small, it might be more convenient to do the entire week’s wash on one day in three or four loads carefully sorted ac cording to color and fabric. The important thing to remember is that each load should carry arti cles requiring similar washing periods and similar water tem perature. One day might do for sheets, pillow-cases, wh,le shirts, and table linens requiring hot water and the same washing time. A second day can be set aside for colored articles and fine lingerie which are most satisfactorily washed in warm water. Heavily- soiled work clothes or articles needing pre-soaking might be candidates for Mother day’s washing. Once the schedule has been arranged to suit your needs, you might try this recommended plan. Sort the clothes as suggested according to color and fabric, similar washing periods and water temperatures. Next, check all clothes. Here is the suggested routine: 1. Mend any rips or tears to avoid further damage in the wash process. 2. Remove all stains before washing since hot water and soap have a tendency to set stains. 3. Empty all pockets and shake clothes free of loose dirt 4. Tie apron strings and belts. 5. Close zippers to prevent catching and tearing clothes. 6. Remove anything which might cause rips or discoloration such as buckles, pins, ornamental buttons, etc. Another pre-washing tip given by laundryspecialists pertains to heavily-soiled articles such as work clothes, children’s play clotncs, or the neck band on white shirts. Rub the heavily- sonvj area with a thick mixture of the washing compound before the clothes are put into the washer, using a cellulose sponge or soft brush. It is important to use the same type of washing compound for this pre-treatment as is being used in the washer for that particular load of clothes. The advance spotting” treatment wih cut down on necessary wash ing time and save wear on the garment. ’ Now you’re ready to wash. Mort nomemakers agree that an automatic washer is the best choice for time and energy-saving. And the automatic washer is a versatile machine that can more satisfactorily handle pre-soaking, bluing, bleaching, and starching than older type equipment. If the clothing is very soiled or extremely dusty (as slipcovers or curtains might be), a soaking period is advisable. In an auto matic washer this operation is made far more effective by using the agi tator through a three-minute wash period and first spin, which carries off the heavy surface soil. When clothes require bleaching, the simplest method is to dilute the bleach in the wash water before the clothes are added. Thorough rinsing is particularly important after using a bleach to prevent weakening of the fibers and to eliminate the chlorine odor. Bluing granules or flakes, made for use with detergents or wAh soaps, are measured into the wash water before the washing com pound is added. Starching in an automatic ma chine is easy and convenient. The desired strength of starch and water is measured into the ma chine and any article to be crisped, such as cotton blouses, dresses, aprons or table linens, added to the solution. The rinse cycle is elminated and automatically the clothes are starched and damp- dried. When your next laundry day comes around, study the situation from all angles of time, effort, and economy and see if there isn’t some way you can do the job a little better.
