tended to all the little details that
go with closing house for q pro-
tracted spell, for there are many
things that can go wrong with q
house that has been carelessly
closed.
The average person. when vaca-
tion-bound, is usually in rush. and
in this rush many things are apt to
be overlooked. It is best TO plan

ner, to avoid last minute confusion
and to insure that nothing impor-
tant is being left undone. Some Of
the things I'm going to mention
may seem bit over-cautious, but II
you follow them, you can enjoy
your vacation In peace, knowing
that the house is in good order.

better check up on q vacant per-
nit" as required by most flre insur-
ance companies. The details should
be given In your policy. A small adj
ditional premium may be charged
for granting this privilege.
Drain your refrigerator and clean
and air the interior. All perishable
food should be disposed Of. and
preserves and jellies should be put
in q place where they will be pro.
tected from excessive heat.
Don't forget to shut on the water
In the cellar.
Electricity Turned on
The electrical system should also
be shut OF. This Is q wise precau-
ton to take, since many fires are
started by short -circuited wires.
This also forestalls the danger Of
lightning passing into the house.
The radio antenna should be
grounded before It enters the house
or a lightning arrestor provided.
You may save q bit on your tele-
phone bill by notifying the COM
pany to disconnect your phone tenn
porarily. There Is usually . reduced
charge while the phone Is out Of
service. The gas company should
also be notified to shut on the gas
supply, which will prevent possible
damage from leak In . pipe or
fixtur1.
All doors and windows should be
locked and the shades drawn. The
cellar doors should be securely
bolted. It's a good idea to leave .
key at q neighbor's In case Of emer-
gency.

She's Got British
Towns for Us
To Adopt
BY TALBOT LAKE

0NE of the odd things In this war
~ is the way Americans In far
OF places are helping the British.
When this nation was being colo
nized, Englishmen 'nostalgically
named the places they settled after
the cities they had left In England.
There are Durhams, Bristols. Gov
entrys, Plymouths In the United
States that owe their name to those
towns in England. Now there Is q
Namesake Towns Committee, head
ed by Mrs. Barbara Spencer, which
adopts" the bombed towns Of the
same name In Britain.
Mrs. Spencer is q slender, auburn
haired Englishwoman, now living
in New York City with her two chill
dren. She brought the children here,
intending to return herself. but that
is now impossible. She isn't very
pleased at being here while her
husband, George Charles Spencer,
is active in the Navy. In Britain
Mrs. Spencer was q nurse with the
Red Cross and gave up her home In
Langton for hospital.
She was born Barbara Blumen-
thai, in China, where her fathers
jewelry business interests kept him
busy. During the last war. the same
namesake town stunt was used by
English towns to aid French and
Belgian ones. There are In this
country some $500 towns and cities
named after British towns and
cities. Many, Of course, are dupli.
Gates. Some, like Durham, N. c.,
claim they are not named after
British cities, but after . person.
Mrs. Spencer's home Of Langton
seems to have no town here to
adopt 1t. There are several places Of
that name near Coventry and they
have been pretty thoroughly hlitSed.
Her house there Was hit early In the
war. It was built In the year 100.
Langton Church Is where Handel,
in 100. first played the Messiah"
Mrs. Spencer said that she was
making the idea more flexible, be-
cause many towns In England. like
Coventry, find that their namesakes
here are too small to give great help.
So larger towns. not named after
British ones. may adopt" q nom
namesake. However, the principle
will be maintained because Of the
idea OF attachment which seems to
make people more generous in their
giving.
