WHERE FIRE HAS BEEN
GAME MOVES OUT

The state g.me commission is
vitality interested in the preser-
walton of the forests and fields,
not only as protection to Wildlife
but as good citizens who wish
to avoid an economic waste Of
our natural resources which new
er before were more greatly
needed, particularly in our war
effort.
With abundant rains in Vir
ginia for the past months the
danger of forest fires is not SO
acute as it was a year ago.
Nevertheless there is an ever
present danger and when leaves
begin falling and the woodlands
are carpeted with several inches
OF dried leaves, 1t takes only
day or two of windy, dry wealth
er to make a real hazard.
Hunters are urged to use every
precaution against starting fire.
Careless smokers present h e
greatest danger and are urged to
use every possible precaution
and not throw away a lighted
match or burning cigarette.
If a smoker cannot restrain
the urge for smoke while hunt
ing, the safest plan is to stop to
smoke, extinguish his cigarette
and then proceed Let it be your

Army Suggests Presents For Friends
And Relatives In Service Oversees

Christmas shopping must start earl
ier than ever this year, if American
boys overseas are to be remembered
by their families and friends at the
Yuletide season.
In order that servicemen in foreign
lands be remembered at Christmas,
the Postoffice department. advises that
packages and cards be mailed during
October, and the absolute deadline
will be November 1.
For the guidance of friends and rel
atives the Army has drawn up a. sug-
gested list of gifts that will be most
welcomed by the average service man.
Serviceable gifts should be the rule,
in order to make the best possible use
of limited shipping facilities. In gen.
eral presents should be easy to carry
and type useful in every climate.
Always keep in mind that the arm
ed services provide their men with
an abundance of food and clothing, in
cluding blankets.
However, dried fruits and hard
candy which can stand a long trip

ing. Care also should be used when
furniture is moved to avoid dragging
it across the surface of the rug or
carpet. Carpet fabrics also may be
broken by hanging the carpet over
line.
Pads under rugs prolong their
serviceability and should be placed
with the rough side against the floor.
The pads may prevent accidental
falls caused by rugs sliding. If
edges of rugs become frayed, the
worn places should be rebound be-
fore the break works into the body
of the rug.
Coverings for the treads on stairs
get heavy wear and their positions
should be changed occasionally. How
ever stair carpeting or tread pads
always should be securely fastened
to reduce the hazard of their caus-
ing serious accidents by slipping un-
der hurrying feet.
Stains in carpeting should be re
moved as cautiously as they would
be from fine fabrics. Rugs ought to
be shampooed carefully without per-
mitting them to became wet enough
to shrink and all soap or other
cleaning material should be thor
oughly rinsed out.

Autumn Begins On Wednesday AS Soldier
Boys In Australia Mark Start OF Spring

Autumn started on this ,Wednes-
day afternoon at 1877 o'clock in the
United States but the Bluffton sol
dier boys in Australia are marking
this day as the beginning of spring.
At that time the sun stands di-
rectly over the earth's equator, ac-
cording to astronomical data. The
sun rose at approximately z a. m.
and will set at approximately 7 p. m.
giving IL hours of day and IL hours
of night all over the world except
at the extreme poles.
At the poles the sun will merely
circle the horizon, gradually sinking
below at the North Pole to begin six
months of darkness gradually rising
at the South Pole to begin six
months of daylight.
On Thursday of this week a full
moon will shine at 1924 a. m. For
three or four nights the moon rises
only about half an hour later than
on the previous day instead of the
usual three quarters of an hour or
more, giving the years longest
stretch of the full moon.
The equinox seems a little late
this year but next year it will be
about six hours later. In 1914. how

Heavy Clothing Will Be In Vogue
This Winter, Says Style Pre-view

Winter clothing conforming in style
to that worn by father and mother
when they were young will be in
vogue again before the 1942-43 cold
season gives way to spring, it was
predicted this week.
Wartime urgencies resulting in less
fuel for homes and the likelihood that
walking must replace riding will bring
heavier clothing in place of the light
weight garments we have grown ac-
customed to in the past generation.
Before the day of the closed auto
mobile and tropically heated homes
people wore very warm clothing in
cold weather. The vogue of that day
prescribed long, heavy underwear
wooden stockings, high shoes, warm
dresses and suits.
Overcoats were bought for warmth
and style was no consideration. Caps
pulled down over the ears, and heavy
mufflers were wound around the
necks.

Lumber Will Be Scarce For
Civilians During Present War

Lumber for ordinary civilian re-
quirements will be virtually unobtain-
able due to heavy government pur-
chases and lack of .priorities, it was
stated i'm a letter from Forrest Stein
man, who with Mrs. Steinman are on
a two weeks business trip travelling
thru the yellow pine producing area
in Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Lou
isiana, Mississippi and Georgia.
In a survey of the situation Stein
man says:
Practically all the mills that have
produced red cedar fence posts have
ceased to manufacture them due to
more favorable prices they receive for
hardwood railroad ties which are in
great demand.
Government agencies are making
such heavy demands for lumber that
il is almost impossible for the retail

thru either tropic or arctic weather
are all alright. Also, the army says
it's 0. K. to send handkerchiefs and
tan colored socks.
Emphasis as put ON entertainment
in the Army's suggested list. Among
items recommended are:
Cigars, cigarets and cigaret cases,
pipes and tobacco, pouches and light
ers.
Books, pocket sizes preferred, news
paper and magazine subscriptions
playing cards, puzzles and small
games.
Automatic pencils, fountain pens
notebooks (of pocket size) and sta
tionery.
Small toilet kits, razor blades, pock-
ct flashlights, wallets and wrist
watches.
Preparation of packages is impor
tant. Boxes or containers should bt
sturdy, with strong wrapping. Ordi
nary shoe-box size packages are sug
gested, with the weight limited to 81,
pounds

ever, leap year, it will jump back
approximately "a hours. This is be-
cause of the 1854 day year. Each
year the equinox goes ahead six
hours until leap year occurs.
With hurricanes beginning in the
Caribbean area it is hoped that old
man weather will be considerable
source of confusion for Nazi U-boats
operating in that vicinity for the
next several weeks. These storms
will not be generally reported this
year except under secret arrange
ments to those Immediately con-
cerned. This is also the period when
the monsoons of the Indian ocean
cease.
While the storms in the Caribbean
area are commonly referred to as
equinoctial storms, they have moth
ing to do directly with the psoition
of the sun in the sky.
This is time of the year, how
ever, when the length of the daylight
hours is diminishing and hence the
amount of heat from the sun is most
rapidly changing. This relates di-
rectly to the atmospheric disturb
ances and changes that occur al
this time of the year.

methods of cleaning. Daily cleaning
with sweeper, soft brush, or vac
uum cleaner removes dirt before it
has chance to become imbedded
and grind away the carpet fabric.
One tip mentioned by Miss McKin-
ney is to shift the position of rugs
often enough so wear is equalized
on all areas. Changing ends puts
another part of the rug in front of
doors or in other places where the
most wear occurs.
Coaster cups should be used under
heavy pieces of furniture to avoid
breaking fibers in the pile or back
