Under average conditions the

Good care of window curtains
can lengthen their life, according
to Mrs. Myrtle Cart r, Oregon
state college home furnishings
specialist. 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.

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!
