She has several ideas for stretching the big investment in fabrics for window treatm.nts. Clean curtains often, and when possible reverse the top and bot tom when re-hanging them, she suggests. Changing them from one window to another will give equal exposure to sun or strong heat over a radiator. Wash only those fabrics that are really washable, Mrs. Carter cautions. Follow manufacturer’s- direction for laundering, or if in doubt, dry clean the curtains. Th furnishings specialist re minds that wind and rain are hard on curtains. Look out for strong winds that might snag them and cause unsightly holes. Curtains wet with ram may get yellow streaks or circles when they are di led by radiator heat, sh“ says. * • wmn. Training and skill make the heading sawyer an important man in any sawmill. With level's and push buttons he controls the carriage for the best possible lumber yield. The logs that keep mills in this area operating come from forests that can be des troyed by fire if care is not practiced by people who use the woods. When fire destroys forests, jobs are lost and income is reduced. It pays to be careful with fire. Let’s keep the record good for the Nehalem Valley again another year!
