nowadays many wartime fab rics require separate suds and rins ing wonder bow often you bear mother you didnt wash out my green drees however if may be that mary did not put her dress out to be washed so its wise to have a separate clothes baft for each person or a clothes hamper the first step in washing after the clothes are collected is to sort them according to color kind f material and how dirty they are voull have done this many tunes of course but da you sort them on a table instead of stooping to the floor and then unfasten buttons turn the pockets out close zippers brush off any dirt and remove stains overnight soaking is no longer rec ommended as the dirt gets saturated in the threads but if the white things are put in warm soapy water for 10 or 15 minutes ujhelp loosen the soil rtngoutthe clothes and put in washing machine it should be filled about twnthlids full if you have hard water add water softener to the water before adding soap suds should be two inches high during the whole washing time have u second lot of soiled articles to go into the suds o few at a time will remove soli more quickly grandmother still uses the old copper boiler to cook the clothes in but unless there is an illness in the family and the clothes must be ster ilized it is not necessary there are reliable bleaching agents on the mar ket follow the instructions to in sure the best results with their use rinsing however is one of the most important steps in washing you need plenty of water and frequently changes to take out all the suds and soiled water from the clothes three rinsings are wonderful if you can do it because its the soap curd left in the clothes that helps to give them that tattletale grey otherwise two rinsings will do a good job then dunk the shirt collars

controversy not to mention it looks as if i am not interested perish the thought i am interes i so as for partner hbi ou re garding government affairs is so real that he gets quite wjgey if he feels that things may take a turn that will not be to the best interests of the war or the country but this column is primarily con cerned with farm life and farm pro blems so if i write what seems to be of little consequence compared with big questions of the hour dont take it to be a case of a female nero fidd ling while rome burns we must have our lighter moments you know and if by putting away vexing and perplexing problems for an hour or two i can help you to relax then we are really getting aomewhere arent wet here at ginger farm we are still at the redding up stage partner has just taken away a

calves at the barn and the good skating down at the flats and i looked at the date january 19341 ten short years ago ten years in which a lltle boy has grown up yes grownup and in growing up he has been trained to kill so that he may defend his own life nnd those of others a far cry indeed from skating and fun at the school then i find a diary belonging to daughter obviously started with great enthusiasm but week by week the entries got shorter and shorter until they stopped altogether x hated to throw it out really i am the most dreadful person to hoard and it is so foolish after nil things like that will never he of intorest to anyone other than myself but there it is the other day young john brought me in a scout whistle he hod picked up in the uardon now i treasure it like gold

a plough will turn up unt itt occasionally we find relics from two other families who preceded us on nth i farm but up to the present we haven t found any hidden treasure although i have heard it said that at one time when the farm or part of it changed hands the money had to be paid in gold coin yes i have heard quite a few stories handed down from pioneer times but so far nothing about wil liam
