TO SAVE ON FUEL WATCH
THE CHIMNEY
ONE WAY TO PREVENT
HEATING WASTES ESTI-
MATED A HALF Bill
LION DOLLARS A YEAR

Ii you want to save fuel this
winter, keep an eye on the top of
your chimney advises the National
Warm Air Heat ng anil Air con-
ditioning Association. This organi-
zation estimates that American
como woners throw away at least
half a billion dollars worth of
fuel every winter keeping warm;
and smoky fires are respons BILE
Tor a large share of this waste.
"Smoke is fine SCOT mixed with
air; and SCOT IS finely powered, un-
burned fuel says an Association
bulletin. Every few people realize
how much is costs them to turn
coal, coke, or oil, into SCOT and
blow it up the chimney without
burning it.
MANY homes lost twenty pounds
or more of fuel a day in the form
Of smoke, SCOT, and unburned
gases; and that means the waste
of at least a ton of coal, in the
course of every winter"
Form the habit, the Association
advises of stepping outdoors every
once in a while. this winter, and
taking a look at your chimney top.
Ii you see a lot of smoke coming,
out, go down and open the top
draft a little more, and party close
tho bottom draft. Of you may be
carrying too thin a fire, or with
b.tuminous coal, have the cal too
evenly spread over the CRATE. CO.
vering the live col, for i to burn
properly. Build it up {. l,.t re in the
middle and push NE coal back
until bright fire shows in front;
shift the drafts and damper, a very
little each time, and adjust the
thickness of the fire, until the
smoke disappears.
Don't keep shaking the fire down
all the time to make it shine
through brightly underneath. 1t
looks cheerful; but you're not only
shaking some of your heat down
into the ash-pan where 1t goes to
waste; You usually open the fire
30 too strong a draft from be-
low, and that means the fine coal
d-st won't have q chance to burn
thoroughly before It gets blown
up the chimney-literally "gone up

PRAIRIE FARMS FSA PROJECT
DELEGATES COMMUNITY
SCHOOL

Tuskegee, February % amp
Prairie Farms, an FSA rural re-
settlement project for Negro farm
ers OF Macon County, dedicated its
recently completed community cen
ter and school building Sunday
afternoon with addresses from
members of the state board Of edu-
cation, FSA and a member of the
faculty of Tuskegee institute. Prof.
A. L. Turner made the principal
address.
The Prairie Farms school build
ing, modern in plan and equipment,
was planned for the first six
grades, and an enrolment of $50.
Because of the scarcity of good
rural schools for the 5000 Negro
children of school age in Macon
county, the Prairie Farm school is
already faced with the problem of
teaching the work of nine grades
to 230 children.
Superintendent Riley said that
inasmuch as only 5000 of the 5000
are enrolled, it is well nigh i'm
possible to reduce the crowded con-
ditions until more school buildings
are provided.
Miss Katherine Deetz, supervisor
community centers of the FSA, at
the dedication service made it clear
that the building was to be used
for work and play and not only for
the "a families who belong to the
project but by all the Negro fami-
lies in the community.
Florence Wright, graduate of
Tuskegee recently employed by
FSA as itinerant worker for five
Negro projects, invited the parents
to join the activities planned for
the adults. Many, she said, had

Prairie Farms is located at Ty-
