She is the state winner in the national Farm and Home Safety program, sponsored by General Motors Corp. For the past 5 years Joyco has filled out the fire prevention sheet provided by the Extension Service to check fire hazards around the home. Then she enlisted the help of her parents and brother to correct the hazards. However, the community did not have a fire truck. Joyce helped solicit families in the community to find out whether they would help finance a well pump. She discussed getting a fire truck with the mayor and last year the community bought its fire truck. Then, Joyce could mark "yes" behind all the final inspection checks. She corrected six fire hazards at home in 1949, three in 1950, 20 in 1951 after the family moved into a new bouse, and this year is correcting btzards in her grandmother's home.

The heading which caught my attention reads, "Imagination Time in Lilliput," The idea Is to brlrtg out your photo lights, slip a close-up attachment on your camera, select a suitable table and go to work. OT really. I should say. start jrowr fun. From then on your imagination should have full sway. But before we make a few suggestions to prod your imagination, let's take a look at the technique to be used.* Place your camera on a tripod or arrange to support it firmly in some way. If it is an adjustable camera, use a very small lens opening so you'U get the greatest depth of field, and make a time exposure. The length of the exposure will, of course, depend on the amount of light and you can use either ordinary home lights or photofloods. Make your table-top picture tell a story. This can be done very simply, or in great detail. It can be a story that is comic, dramatic, or whimsical As 1 said above, your imagination is the determining factor. Don't waste time trying to achieve extreme realism, Tbc picture needs only to convey th« idea of the story and most viewers think it fun to recognize th« materials used. Every home abounds with won* derful materials from which yov can create table-top subjects. Salt or baking powder quickly makei wonderful snow. A bit of carpe. becomes grass. Crumpled giassinc paper makes a wonderful lake tt carry tiny sailboats contrived from paper, toothpicks, and bits of string. The "people" in your table-top can be figures artfully fashioned from pipe cleaners, or if your fingers are all thumbs when it comet to things like that you can use tiny dolls or figurine*--or even clothes pins. Don't take the term "table top" too literally. You can achieve the same effect on any flat surface. The living room rug might be an idea] spot for a grassy scene, and the concrete of the basement Is especially good for rainy day table tops. Why don't you let your Imagination join that of the writer of "HOW TO MAKE GOOD PICTURES" for a happy sojourn IB Lilliput land? It'll be fun. --John van Guilder Thursday, lan 22, 195$ Buick's Beautiful New 1953 Skylark THE beauty and elegance of sports car styling are combined With big car comfort and roominess in Buick's beautiful Skylark sports car for 1953. Towered by Buick's 188 horsepower valve-in-head V-8 engine hooked up to the new Twin Turbine D|naflow, the Skylark is equipped with power steering, power brakes, wire wheels, whitewall tires, Easy-Eye glass and selectronic radio as standard equipment. It is available in 16 colors and four interior trim options. The Skylark will be built in limited quantities only. Over and above this new project, we muBt continue to meet the day-by-day blood needs of civilian hospitaals and of the Korean wounded, and -continue to build the nation's plasma reserve through the sixty-one blood centers operated by the Red Cross, and the centers operated by the cooperating blood banks; In all, the Red Cross--and private blood banks cooperating witlj^ it--must collect blood at the rate "of approximately 5,-000,- 000 pints a year if this total program is to be carried out successfully. Blankets Take On "New Look BED CROSS & Mood And Gamma Globulin The Red Cross has been called Upon to undertake an immediate' orities -and dramatic expansion of its participation in the national blood program to make available • all the gamma globulin possible for the prevention of paralysis --from poliomyelitis. What Is Gamma Globtilin? Gamma Globulin (also called ^immune serum globulin) is that part of human blood that contains antibodies built up in the , blood stream as 1 !he result of the human body's fighting disease. These antibodies remain in the blood stream. They can be separated from the whole blood and concentrated for injection into patients suffering a variety of diseases. The acceptance by the Red Cross of the request of the Office of Defense mobilization to undertake this program places a vast new responsibility upon the Red Cross and, in turn, upon the American people. It takes approximately l pint of blood to make an average dose of gamma globulin as used for poliomyelitis. One injection protects a child from a period of one to five weeks following exposure. Since gamma globulin is ~also needed for the modification of measles and ih the prevention of infectious hepatitis, there will of necessity be a shortage of the serum at the height of the polio season. - Hew did the Red * Cross get the globulin?- -- At the end of hostilities in The blood from which the plasma has been produced and which, in turn, was the source of the derivatives, had been donated by the American people. Therefore, it could not be sold by or to anybody but had to be returned to the people wltbout charge. The Red Cross will not allocate or distribute the gamma ' globulin. The Red Cross will furnish its total supply of gamma globulin to the allocation agency without charge for the product in keeping- with the policy now governing our distribution of blood and blood products. Blankets have a "new look" this year, with the manufacturers vying with each other to give the homemaker warmth, beauty and ease of care. Manmade fibers are being' used in blankets, but remember, says Florence King, clothing and textiles specialist, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, that unless the amount of nylon, Dacrcn, Dynel, Orion or Acrilon is at least 15 percent of* the blend, the good qualities of the new fibers will not be transferred to the blanket. For ex- 'fr •*' •!' 'i1 .j.• .j,• }. •},.},.H.• {.•!'...- fr.}• ,}. % INCOME TAX RETURNS PREPARED ample,/ a. blanket that has as little as 5 or 10 percent ^ylpn in it will wear and wash just about like a 100 percent wool blanket. The nylcn may add a little strength to the " fibers, but the difference will not be appreciable. Moths will not eat^ the manmade fibers, but if these fiberji are combined with wool, the moths will attack unless proper precautions are taken. There J* a saying that the moths stand on the nylcn to eat the wool, and while this* may not be factual, it is certainly true that these pests will gobble wool whether there , are pther fibers with it or not. There are blankets on the market made entirely of manmade fibers, such as Acrilon, Dynel or Orlcn. These are warm, light in weight, and have a thicltThap. Among the features of blankets of this type Is the fact that they are shrinkproof, durable, mildew and moth-proof. Labels on some of these guarantee them against loss of weight, and loss of strength and texture in washing. ^ Miss King has the following suggestions to guide you in the purchase of blankets: The warmth of the blanket is not a matter of weight, but of the depth of the nap. In fact a * good blanket is not heavy., It retards the escape of body heat and keeps out the cold by means of insulating, air cells held -in the nap. Examine the bindings carefully to see if they are of closely woven material. Bindings should be eased slightly to allow for shrinkage. ; A good bianfet win not shed and the nap wifr not rub up when brushed lightly with the h&nd. for the size, it should be ra good six inches longer than £he mattress to allow for tucking in. Read the label carefully 'to qee what the manufacturer's guarantees are. Save the label for , later reference. Want Ada, like freedoM* are tverybady's hastaeas.
