Packing Tips For Travelers:
Learn a few tricks about folding and fitting garments
into your suitcase.
cy. To curb your desire to take everything you own,
articles you think you'll need. This can also
checklist when you pack.
One way to keep your
suitcase light is to transfer
cosmetics from glass jars to
plastic containers. Seal caps
with cellophane tape. For ad-
ditional safety, insert spill-
ables and breakables into
plastic bags. Pack items in
layers separated by tissue
paper. Use this order: bulky
items on the bottom, then
lingerie, accessories, blouses,
and dresses. Place nightwear
on top. When packing a suit,
fold skirt lengthwise with
bottom over edge of case.
Place jacket on top of skirt
with shoulders toward rear
of bag and sleeves folded ac-
ross jacket then fold shirt
end over jacket and bottom
over edge of case. Place jac-
ket on top of skirt with the
shoulders toward rear of bag
and sleeves folded across the
jacket then fold skirt end ov-
er jacket and bottom of jack-
et over skirt. To prevent
snags, tuck stockings inside
gloves. To save space, pack
socks in shoes; then place
shoes in shoebags, old socks,
or plastic bags. Put in a pair
of plastic rain boods of you
are taking them. Place jewel-
ry in bags to protect it and
keep it separated and within
easy reach. If you're going
on an extended trip, take a
smaller suitcase filled with
overnight needs. It'll save
you time and frustration.
MonoxidePoison
Very Dangerous
Carbon monoxide poisoning
is an ever-present danger fac-
ing motorists, particularly
with arrival of cooler weath-
er, warns Keystone Automo-
bile Club.
Carbon monoxide is a dead-
ly gas having no odor, color
or taste, it was pointed out
by Edward P. Curran, the
Club’s Safety Director.
“The presence of the gas in
a car's exhaust fumes often-
times cannot be detected un-
til the driver or passengers
in the car feel ill,” he said.
“Even a comparatively low
concentration of carbon mon-
oxide may produce head ache
in less than an hour and un-
conciousness in two hours.
Higher concentrations of the
deadly gas can cause almost
immediate unconsciousness
and death within a matter of
minutes.
“Leaks in the car’s exhaust
system most frequently are
responsible for infiltration of
monoxide fumes into the
car's interior. The danger be-
comes greater, of course,
when cars age and deteriora-
tion is more likely.
“All who drive should make
doubly certain of guarding a-
gainst carbonmonoxide fumes
by taking these precautions:
1. Have exhaust system
thoroughly checked and all
necessary repairs made imme-
diately.
2. Always leave at least
one window open in the car
to provide ventilation even
in the coldest weather.
3. Always make certain the
garage doors are wide open
when starting and running
the engine.

Beauty School
Summer afternoon com-
plaints of “we don’t havel
anything to do’ disappear in
an instant for little girls who
go to beauty school.”
The make-believe school is
held in the back yard or at
the kitchen table on rainy
days. To set up shop the
young beauty school director
will need a table, mirror and
some of mother’s cast-off hats,
trimmings and costume jew-
elry. Her beauty supplies in-
clude a “skin freshener”
made from water with a few
drops of cologne, a box of
tissues and a comb and a
brush.
When “Beauty School’ stu-
dents arrive, they begin with
a program of exercises. Stu-
dents must do whatever the
director does — waistbends,
somersaults, waving arms.
After the exercises it’s time
to weigh in on a scale made
from an upside-down paper-
board packing carton. If a
student stands on the box
and goes through i, It
means she is overweight and
must do some more exercises.
The next step is the beauty
treatment. The school direct-
or dampens a paper tissue
with “skin freshener” and
pats it on the face of her stu-
dent. Gently tissue off the ex-
cess and repeat three times.
While the facial is taking
effect, the student is given
a special beauty potion (pink
lemonade) to drink. Pink-
frosted cookies are a marvel-
ous remedy for a pale com-
plexion.
A new hair-do is the next
step. Part in the center, pin
high on the head, or brush
behind the ears.
As the “Beauty School”
graduates are called for din-
ner, it’s hard to believe that
an entire afternoon has pas-
sed by so quickly.
SAFE WALKING TIPS
DON'T WALK BETWEEN
PARKED CARS
Walking into the street be-"
tween parked cars is a form
of gambling. The stakes are
your life.
If the street is clear of
traffic, you are safe. If a cor
happens to be coming, chances
are the driver will not be able
to see you in time to stop.
The result? Another pedes-
trian accident, perhaps a
fatality.
Don't take a chance. Al-
ways cross at the intersection,
urges the American Avufo-
mobile Association. om

In Russia there are nc 4-H
Clubs to teach boys and girls a
better way of life and work: no
agricultural extension service to
show better methods for raising
crops and livestock; no special-
ists to help improve homemak-
ing skills; no business men to
support this “massive, informal,
educational program” which in-
cludes 4-H.
However, Premier Khrush-
chev did learn something about
the Cooperative Extension Serv-
ice during his visit to the U.S.
In a Pravda article, Krushchev
revealed a “secret” to the Rus-
sian people. He admitted that
certain extension practices were
“borrowed” when the Soviet
agricultural system was over-
hauled recently.
Explains Service
“I have in mind,” he said,
the introduction of scientific
achievements. In the United
States of America a farmer's
service exists under the univer-
sities and colleges. The agents
meet with the farmers and per-
suade them to introduce this
or that method, help them in
organization of production and
furnish them with plans.”
He got most of the extension
picture, but apparently missed
Good Visabi
Good visibility is vital to
motoring safety at all times.
With the possible excep-
tion of perfectly functioning
lights, no automotive acces-
sory is more essential to safe
motoring than efficient wind-
shield wipers, says Keystone
Automobile Club.
‘
‘““This is particularly true
during Spring’s frequent
rains’, said Edward P. Cur-
ran, Keystone’s Safety Direc-
tor. “Windshield wipers must
be in prime condition to do a
good pob now, as well as dur-
ing the remainder of this
year. Accordingly, we offer
the following suggestions:
“Have wiper arms checked
regularly to make certain
that wiper blades sweep a-
cross the glass with adequate
pressure, figured to be about
one ounce per inch of blade
For clean wiping, then, a
blade 12 inches long should
exert at least 12 ounces of
pressure against the wind-
shield.
‘Wipe the wiper blades of-
ten to remove grit, oil and
other dirt accumulations.
“Blades should be replaced
about once a year with new
blades of live resilient rub-
ber. Exposure to sun, wind
and road film causes rubber
wiper blades to deteriorate
rapidly.
“Wiper blades that smear
or streak the windshield
TY
R
the role of extension for the last
50 years in developing the 4-H
Club program.
In the early days of 4-H, the
trained extension agents worked
with the children of farm fami-
lies. The plan provided the
wedge that opened the door for
the agents to reach the farmers
and their wives.
No Free Enterprise
It has been suggested that
Khrushchev might further im-
prove farming under commun-
ism if he also had initiated a
program for youth patterned
after the 4H Clubs. Seventy
other foreign countries have.
But Russia lacks the incentive
and backing provided by private
enterprise.
U.S. industry has backed 4-H
work right from the beginning.
It provides technical know-how,
financial aid and recognition.
More than 55 leading business
firms cooperate with the exten-
sion service and the National
4-H Service Committee in spon-
soring individual projects.
Today there are at least three
dozen areas of 4-H Club work.
Some of the newer programs
and their sponsors are: Photog-
raphy, Eastman Kodak; Con-
ity Is Vital
should be replaced in most
cases. Sometimes wipers can
be adjusted to give cleaner
wiping action.
“Outright failure of the
wiper arms to operate usual-
ly can be corrected without
too much effort. Leakage us-
ually accounts for failure of
vacuum-type wipers to func-
tion. Poor electrical connec-
tions often are the cause of
trouble with electrically op-
erated wipers.”

awards for a 4H’er is the con-
gress trip given to one boy or
girl per state in a specific pro-
gram. Altogether about 1,600
young people from 50 states
travel to Chicago each fall to
participate in this educational
event.
Watch Activity
When Fall Comes
Crisp autumn air may spell
trouble for the man about the
house, especially if he is ov-
er 40.
Crispness in the air may
induce a homeowner to en-
gage in more exercise than is
good for him, putting a sev-
ere strain on his heart.
Too much exertion hunting
ducks or deer; or too much
exertion raking leaves have
been known to bring on heart
attacks.
“These are twin fall dang-
ers.” Dr. Noah Sloan declares
“The hunter should not walk
tco far, become weakened by
overexposure or strain him-
sell in carrying ou! a deer or
other game. By the same tok-
en, prolonged, unaccustomed
labor from leaf raking can
induce heart aftacks in the
fall, just as snow shoveling
can in winter.”
Instead of attacking the
leaf raking job at a furious
pace, Dr. Sloan suggests a
more leisurely approach. He
advises:
1. Take frequent breaks.
Enjoy the fall colors and the
brisk air.
2. Don’t carry large con-
tainers of leaves. Break the
load up into easily portable
amounts.
3. Whether using a rake or
a mechanical lawn sweeper
which must be pushed, stop
to rest
