Fall brings an end to some ol
summers work and play. It is
time to plan new wardrobes.
Buying a dress now and then
satisfies me but not my girls.
Judy is making a blazer in her
home economics class at school.
And when my older daughter was
home she made a two-piece dress
from a bright print. Then she
hunted the blue tweed, which had
been purchased during her trip to
Europe a few years ago, and
made a long jumper-style gown.
Now all they need is a blouse, a
skirt, some shoes and new
pocketbooks. The list can be
endless, can’t it?

Lately, I’ve been trying to dig
holes in our field to bury a
number of cats that died. Last
year our biggest ones seemed to
just lie down and go to sleep. We
think they were probably
poisoned.
The ground is so hard and I had
trouble making a little hole. It
made me think of my father and
how hard he has worked. I’m not
thinking only of farming during
the 1920’s and raising acres and
acres of tobacco.
What I had in mind was the
time his driving horse “Bill” died
and he dug a huge hole under a
black cherry tree to bury him. It
must have been a labor of love.

limas, I hear the wild geese
honking overhead as they fly
south. When I stop to observe
them, I notice that they are
forever changing formation.
They remind me of people who
forge to the front of the line only
to drop back again, often through
no fault of their own. As they take
a breather, others replace them
until eventually they go forward
again.
As long as we can look ahead to
the next minute, week, or year,
we press onward through good
fortune and misfortune.

Vacuum Cleaning Hints
Three types of dirt need to be
removed from rugs:
—dust that settles over fur
niture, carpets, etc.
—litter - threads, ravelings,
dog and cat hairs, etc., often
difficult to remove from carpets
—heavy dirt - mud, sand, oil
tracked into the house, very
harmful to carpets as the grit
gets imbedded and cuts off the
rug pile.
Three basic cleaning principles
used in vacuum cleaners:
Suction - used in tank or
cannister cleaners. Some have
power driven attachment for
brush to make it more like an
upright cleaner.
-Motor-driven brush-type -
has nozzle with rotating brush
which helps to loosen dirt to be
removed by suction. Usually an
up right cleaner.
—Motor-driven agitator - uses
all three cleaning principles -
suction, motor-driven brush and
agitator. The motor-driven roll
has brushes to remove litter and
metal bars that beat the rug as it
is lifted to the nozzle by the
suction. The beating action
loosens embedded dirt for
removal by suction.
Choose your vacuum cleaner
on the basis of whether you have
much carpeting or more floor and
above-floor cleaning.
If you have wall-to-wall car
peting or valuable rugs, cleaning
these floor coverings may
represent the biggest job you
want your cleaner to do. An
upright cleaner with motor
driven brushes and beater bars
combine to give a vibrating,
sweeping, suction that does the
best job in removing deeply
embedded dirt from caprets.
Suction alone will not clean
deeply embedded sand and dirt.

But keep in mind that at
tachments for upright cleaners
may cost extra and may not be as
convenient to use in above the
floor cleaning.
For above the floor cleaning -
walls, draperies, upholstery,
books and furniture, suction is
important and here a tank or
cannister type vacuum is
recommended. Attachments are
usually easier to use on these and
they are generally included in the
price of the cleaner.
No matter which type of
vacuum you choose, remember
that the higher the horsepower in
the motor, the better the work the
vacuum will do. Two things
determine suction—the size of the
motor and the way the fan is
made. That includes the number
and size of the blades, size of the
fan, and design of the fan
chamber in which it rotates.

Whipped Toppings and
Non-Dairy Creams
These non-dairy products
usually are made with coconut
oil, a saturated fat. Both products
are a no no for low fat or fat
resistant diets calling for un
saturated fats. Non-dairy creams
are said to have a higher amount
of saturated fatty acids than does
cream.

Cockroaches can be controlled,
but it may require a little time,
money, and effort, say Extension
entomologists at Pennsylvania
State University. Sanitation helps
prevent a rapid buildup of
roaches, but periodic ap
plications of insecticides may be
needed. Contact your county
agent (Cooperative Extension
Service) for further information.
Always follow carefully the
directions on labels of pesticide
containers.
A tractor operator cannot move
fast enough to save himself if the
tractor he is operating flips back
wards, say Extension
agricultural engineers at Penn
sylvania State University.
Tractor operators should avoid
the practice of racing or gunning
the engine when the drive wheels
are mired deeply. Don’t take a
chance. Back out.
