Slip Covers Save Furniture Slip covers are becoming ycur-around home furnishing items instead of mere summer specialties, comments Winnifred K. union, home demonstration agent for Klnmuth county. They are especially important right now. she adds, when furniture is difficult to buy and many families are setting up house keeping with second-hand pieces. Slip covers can cover worn, faded, or soiled upholstery. They can serve temporarily in lieu of upholstery on furniture bought "in the muslin." They can change the decorative plan of a room at comparatively small cost. They protet't permanent furniture coverings from wear and dust. They save the furni ture from the sticky fingers and playthings of children, and pro tect the wood portion from scratches. Fabrics for slip covers today arc better than they used to be with controlled shrinkage, more permanent colors, and artistic designs. However, no matter how closely woven the cloth may be, some dust will sift through. So Mrs. Gillcn cau tions that the covers should be removed occasionally and the upholstery brushed. Directions for measuring fur niture for slip covers, for mak ing slip covers, and for repair ing inner-spring are available free from Mrs. Cillen s office, room 208, in the federal building in Klamath Falls.

"I always sort of wondered if I was a brave man," the tall, co coa-colored negro said in an in terview here. "Now I guess maybe I'm gon na find out. And I'm gonna find out the hard way, boss, so there won t be no doubt in my mind when I leave. A lot of men never find out. A lot of men die stiU wondering if they was the men they thought they was." Told by hi attorney, Bertrand S. Dc Blanc, that a motion will be filed for another supreme court hearing, Francis said sim ply: "It's the same thing. The same old thing.

Dwight D. Eisenhower "has the best chance of all the candi dates on both sides" to occupy the White House in 1048, in the opinion of Sen. Wayne Morse, Oregon republican. Speaking in a radio forum broadcast, Morse said also that he believed "Mr. Truman is def initely in the ring" for tile presi dential nomination. "He la slugging right now, and he has the republicans on the defensive." The Oregon senator assailed republican tax-reduction pro posals as "one of the most atro cious cases of public deception in the past quarter of a century." "They snouid ten me people that now Is the time to save and pay our debt or the dollar won't be worth a quarter of what It. is today," he said. "If the republicans continue their anti-labor policy and their fiscal policie which will lead to fiscal isolation, they will lose both congress and the White House in 1948 and they will give us the worst era of labor unrest in the history oi the coun try." Morse sized up the 1948 presi dential prospects in these words: There are too many republi can after the same job, they'll wash each other out by 1948. "People are more interested in personalities than in party labels, and in that connection there is a great deal of interest in Gen. Eisenhower."
