The essential problem of removing paint stains caused by oil base paints is that of dye and pigment removal. Th« oil portion of the stain present! a problem similar to that of al grease and fat stains, and is not especially difficult if the stain l» not allowed to get old. The pigment, being a solid, usually has to be tamped out. M tb« stain is fresh, the oil and pigment are not yet in permanent bond and again removal is relatively simple. The dye, depending on the color is usually removable. Again tne most important single determining factor is the freshness of the stain. In other words, this type of stain can be removed in most instances, if the garment is spotted and cleaned as soon after staining as possible. WITHIN 48 ro 72 HOURS AFTER STAINING ARE THE MAXIMUM OUTSIDE LIMITS FOR SAFETY. After that period of time, the oil has "set" and then removal becomes increasingly more and more difficult, and eventually impossible. ADULT FAHM CLASS PLANNING WORK OF FUTURE MEETINGS boots; the Cubs were dressed in Water emulsion paints. These blue jeans, white tee shirts with paints are easy to mix and apply and have become extremely popular for interior decoration. Most manufacturers claim water fastness for many of these paints after a drying period of from 4 to 30 days. What all this amounts to is this: IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES, THESE STAINS CAN BE REMOVED IF CAUGHT EARLY. BRING YOUR GARMENT IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER STAINING. Our spotting department is familiar with all techniques necessary for paint removal. All you have to do--let us repeat-- is not let time work on these stains and fix them permanently. Time may be a wonderful healer for what ails the human soul but it works havoc on gar ments.

The spirit of community eooperation took a fine step in the right direction when the adult class of the Richmond vocational agriculture department invited the members of the McHenry adult farm management class to a joint meeting this month. News that the Richmond class had slaughtered a Guernsey heifer, combined with the fact that several local farmers have experienced breeding troubles with hogs in the McHenry area, led the advisory council members locally to suggest that the Richmond department be contacted to see if a gilt could be slaughtered. The evening was most successful, with a veterinarian present to examine the animal and talk to the assembled group. A few days later, sixteen farmers attended the second adult class meeting. Thanks to Dan Andrews, an excellent film called "A trip tls-ough a pig factory" was enjoyed. Dairy breeding problems, with a film sponsored by the Northern Illinois Breeding association and a trip to Windy Knoll farm, are planned in the near future. Any interested person is cordially invited to attend. Rendesce Changes The Harry Lock family moved this week from McCullom Lake to Chicago.
