Perhaps you plan to use Christ, mas gift money for a piece of new furniture for your home. If so, here are a few suggestions by Frances Gallatin, home agent. Before you go shopping, decide exactly what you need and want. You may not get it, but it may keep you from buying something you won’t want when you g t it home, It will also make shopping easier for both you and the sales- clerk, Measure the space you want to fill and take samples of colors to match or complement, as few folks can carry colors in their minds. Another suggestion before you go shopping is to learn how to recognize good construction in basic pieces. Shop around for best values. Compare quality, styles, comfort, prices, and credit terms. Ask questions and examine the furni ture on all sides, including the bottom of upholstered furniture. Read labels. And. above all, be sure the whole family is satisfied. Lesson Demonstrated At Extension Meeting The Vernonia extension unit met at the EUB church Thursday, January 8. A short business meeting was held at 10 a.m., after which the project leaders, Laura Hicks and Shirley French, demonstrated the lesson on gar ment finishes.

Same if it’s deer Reason and I go for my »hotgun— he won’t move, but he’s scratching at the door if I so much as look at my rifle!’’ One day, Sandy decided to fool him. He took down buth his shot gun and his rifle — and swish, Boscum was on his way! So Sandy put the guns back and took out his fishing rod. He went outside and there was Boscum — digging like crazy for worms! From where I sit. a dog that can outguess humans is as rare as a human that can outguess other humans. For instance, I like a glass of ’»»er with lunch but 1 wouldn't think of pouring you une without firit asking.

Do you realize that your grocer pays for his groceries once a week, or twice a month? B. Do you realize that virtually all the merchants have to pay their bills every 30 days? When any of these merchants carries a customer over 30 days on his books his profit is gone, and he is losing money on his invest ment. C. Do you realize that the gas and service stations (or a lot of them! pay D. Do you realize that your doctor, your hospital, and your druggist have to pay not only their wholesale bills but also their own personal bills every 30 days? E. Do you realize what it costs to send statements? Aftrr the second state ment is mailed out. it costs from 35c to 40c a satement. It is the handling charge on the money that really counts, not the paper, the stamp, and the time it tak s to send it out. Why not quit taking advantage of your merchants and professional men. and co- operate with tham by paying your bills sooner, and thus help the financial rating of your trade area as well? By so doing, you are not only helping to keep your own credit good, but you are helping your merchant and your doctor to keep his credit good also. Do not be over-sold on installment buying.

Lindsley, recent ly- Mrs. Mabel Gravon of Portland 'HXHX’IXHXHXHXHXHXHXXHXHXHXHXHXHXKZHXHJ For the home seamstress there is only one size of nylon thread available, according to Lucy Lane, clothing specialist. There is size A which is comparable in size to number 70 cotton, but it has greater strength. The homemaker will find some sixty colors and they come on one hundred yard spools. To sew by hand with nylon thread, Miss Frances L. Gallatin, home agent, suggests cutting the thr ad from the spool and using a shorter length than when sew- ing with cotton thread. When threading the needle, do not at- tempt to roll the thread to a point as with cotton or mer- cerized cut thriad. Simply straight across and put through the eye of the needle. Take sev eral back stitches to tack the be ginning and ending of seams. Al ways cut nylon thr. ad, don’t break it, as it ravels easily and I makes needle-threading difficult. When doing machine sewing with Nylon thread, you will find these directions helpful: Use a sharp n.edle with no roughness I or burrs. For an all Nylon fa- brie, us- Number 11 needle or comparable size. Use this same size for any sheer fabric. For other medium weight fabrics, use a Number 14 or comparable size needle. The upper tension should be about half as tight as for sewing with cotton thread. Skipped stitches are sometimes caused by too tight tension. Seams of garments in fabrics from man-made fibers tend to draw or pucker at the seams. This is true of the woven fabrics, but rarely ever of the knitted ones. To avoid the pucker d seams, choose patterns with th? seams that are on the bias rather than straight. Ev-n a slight bias helps. Th? up and down, or warpurse, seams pucker more than the crosswise ones. Nylon sewn seams should be pressed or ironed with low heat —that is at a low rayon or n>lon sating—260 to 275 degrees. For fabrics * that require a higher ironing temperature, a damp press cloth must be used or the Nylon thread will be damaged. Nylon will take a higher moist hi at, as with a damp press cloth or from a steam iron, than it will dry heat. tn u Immediate Delivery on All Models COAST MOTOR CO Aiiorxn Medical Attention Sought for Daughter H M H M H M M H W H H M M I* H H X H Watch for the Green and Black Handbills with Accounts for Sale H M o X o M kHXHXHXHXHXHXHXHXHXXHXHXHXHXHTHXHIHXMl'
