MAKING THE
 BASKET COVER

MAKING THE
 BASKET COVER
 The quilted case for the scrap. basket requires about 1 yard of ma terial. For the quilted hanger cover use about 1-3 of yard. For the lingerie case use about 2-3 of yard. For all three pieces, no more than 2 yards of 36-inch material and the same amount of cotton padding are required.
 The scrap basket cover is simple to make regardless of the size of the basket to be covered. Simply meas ure from top to bottom and around the circumference. Cut a strip of fabric that length and width, al lowing 1-2 inch for seams. Cut an- other strip of thin cotton padding the same size.
 Baste this padding to wrong side of the chintz. Next cut out the mo- tiff to be used to decorate the bas- ket. Baste this motif in place, and with the zig zagger attachment to the sewing machine, stitch around the edge of the motif. Now with the cording foot, attach zipper to the open ends, the full width of the fabric strip. The zipper fastening is concealed at the back.
 Next, cut a piece of chintz the size and shape of the bottom of

the basket. Stitch the side and bottom piece together on the wrong side 1-4 inch from the edge. Turn right side out. Apply a 1-inch bias strip at the top and bolton side with the edge stitcher attachment.
 Now for the hanger cover. Most hangers are 16 inches from .shoul- der tip to shoulder tip. The short cover should be about IT inches across and ten inches from the hook to the lower edge of the cover. If the chintz is 36 inches wide, fold the 1-3 yard piece so that you have a piece measuring IS inches by 10 inches. Gut padding the same size and proceed to apply the motif and quilt in the same way as you did the basket.
 Next, cut the 18-inch sides so that a shoulder line is made to slant to the hook of the hanger. The slope can be estimated by laying the hanger on the material and cutting accordingly. Stitch the two pieces together at the 12-inch sides. Apply 1-inch bias tape around the edges, leaving a hole at the top for the hook to poke through.

THE INASMUCH
CIRCLE TO HOLD
MEETING, 4TH
Kings Daughters Will Meet
With Mrs. John Blades On
Walnut Street, Mon. Next
MOST IMPORTANT MAT
TIERS TO BE DISCUSSED

The Inasmuch Circle of Kings
Daughters will meet Monday after
noon, November 4th with Mrs. John
H. Blades, of Walnut st. Members
of this organization who cannot at
tend are urgently requested to send
in their dues at this meeting or hand
same to Mrs. Bertie Lockerman,
Treasurer, prior to the meeting so a
report may be sent in.
This organization, founded in Po-
comoke more than fifty years ago,
is still functioning and will continue
to function just as long as there are
funds to carry on the work. Many
who are not familiar with the activ-
tiles of the Kings Daughters may
think the organization is not as active
as in former years, due in part to
the welfare work in the county and
general relief. This is not the case.
The Kings Daughters have consist
emily carried on the work to which 1t
was dedicated so many years ago.
They are still active in helping the
poor of Pocomoke who are in actual
distress and who need immediate help
in the way of food, clothes, and other
provisions. Calls have been coming IN
constantly. Investigation is made I'M
mediately and help given to those who
are in need.
No list is made of these good deeds
no public account kept Of the money
expended on clothes for some little
one Just entering this life, no record
made of the personal contact, the
words of encouragement offered, the
friendly visits to homes in need OF
spiritual as well as financial aid.
The Kings Daughters is not mod
ern organization. 1t is fifty years
old and still clings to the belief that
the world needs friendship and is will
ing to lend helping hand to those in
distress, aiding them spiritually,
mentally and financially, its members
living up to the motto mot to be
Ministered Unto but to Minister"
Surely an organization of this kind is
benefit to any community and should
receive the hearty support Of that
community. !.
The members are urged to attend
this meeting as it is most important
one and the success of the organiza-
ton and it's continuance rests upon
the interest shown and the response
from members and friends.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS
SUGGESTED BY
LOCAL PEOPLE
Think Warning Lights Should
Be Placed On Market Street
At Several Crossings

Some of the prominent citizens of
Pocomoke are agitating the matter of
installing traffic lights at the inter-
section of the important streets of
this city.
One of the sites suggested is at
the crossing of Market street and
Clarke Avenue. This is specially
dangerous point and altho safety lines
are painted on the street bed, the
average driver takes no heed; the
pedestrian must look out for himself.
Specially on Saturday nights is this
a congested highway. True, the city
places an officer there, but his duty
seems to be more voluntary than
compulsory. The red light is more eff
fective.
Another crossing is at Second and
Market and conditions there are about
similar to the above. Here there does
not seem to be any precautions taken
for the safety of pedestrians, and
there is always peril in negotiating
the crossing.
Another could be very fifty placed
at the Southern entrance Of the city,
near the high school. That section
seems to be veritable speedway, as
residents there will testify. The city
authorities would do well to cooperate
with any efforts to improve conditions
and the red light is about the best
warning now used.
