Saturday Deadline
To Dispose Of Tires

Bluffton motorists have until Sat-
urday to dispose of their excess
tires more than five per car, it was
announced by the Office of Price
Administration as the deadline was
advanced from Dec. l to Dec. IL.
Reason for the postponement was
the inability of many railway ex-
press agencies to take care of the
last minute pick up orders.
The Bluffton office of the Railway
Express Co. ran out of application
forms and was unable to take care
of those who desired to turn in their
tires in order to qualify for gasoline
rationing.
In order to help alleviate this con-
dition members of the Future Farm
ers of America club, under the di,
rection of Harry Barnes, Blufftor
High school instructor, took in the
tires at the high school building ano
gave temporary receipts.
Ninety tires were taken in under
these arrangements. AS more ap
plication forms arrived at the loca
express office the tires were shipped
to the warehouse center in Toledo
Only 30 tires are left.

Manners
of the
Moment

With the winter sports season
approaching. a girl should sit down
and figure out her winter sports
assets and liabilities, and decide
ittst how far she can go in pre-
tending that she wants the boys
10 teach her.
: Now YOU can pretend that you'd
love to learn to skate. and you can
enthuse the Young man who skates
Hike Norwegian champion into
thinking it would be fun to teach
YOU. You can be cute and enthuslas-
tic and innocent and take YOUR
fumbles with attractive merrlment.
& But. let me tell you, grille, you
can lean on the lad just SO long,
and then its all over.
You must decide to do either one
of two things. The first is to give
up pretending and really try to
learn. And the other is to have
only one skating date per man.
One lesson from each of them, If
YOU really have no intention Of
learning, will be plenty.
And whichever course you follow
YOU probably should do your leaning
in short spells, allowing the boy
friend to have 5 minutes solo
out of every Is minutes.
If these rules are impossible for
YOU to follow, then you'd better
stick to dancing dates this winter,
Outdoor dates just aren't your
medium. JEAN.

Oranges Do Double
Duty in Our Diet;
Rich in Vitamin c.

A few generations ago the average
quota of oranges for the year was
probably that one orange which
was a treasured component of the
Christmas stocking Today millions
of oranges come into New York
each year and there never is day
when they are not to be found in
market and in profusion.
Just now Florida Valencias are
almost flooding the market. while
California navels are coming in
more plentifully every day. Fol
juice either may be used. When
the fruit is to be sectioned fol
any purpose the seedleSs California
fruit is indicated
One of the very best things about
oranges is the fact that every one
likes them so much and at the same
time they give us so many valuable
vitamins. They also contribute tc
our necessary mineral ration. The
most important contribution /.
found in the vitamin c. In the
absence of this vitamin scurvy re-
suits and unless We have plentiful
amount a condition which might
be called subnutrition will exist.
We are fortunate in this countr,
. to be able TO buy citrus fruits. one

This is the season of the year

a smart white hat. or one in pastels.
Little flower-trimmed chapeaux are

So, take a really critical look at

too easy on yourself. Be honestly,

Dear Miss NOVEL;: Do you think
my bedroom with q south window
will be too cold for geraniums TO

Answer-No, they will probably
do very well, for most heated rooms
are far too hot for geraniums. Move
them out Of the open window at
night. into q warmer section OF
the room, and think you will find
that they will thrive.
Dear Miss Novel;: In painting the
downstairs woodwork in my house,
Is there any reason why the hinges.
locks and door knobs should not be
painted? 1t seems difficult to paint
around them without spattering
them, and difficult to get the paint
of the locks without smearing the
door-so what is the answer?
T. s. A.
Answer-The accepted way Is to
leave the hardware unpainted. Most
painters remove the screws and lift
of the plates before painting, espe-
cially If the locks or plates need
furnishing. Next to that, go care
fully around them and wipe off all
spots before they dry. Hardware
was intended to be trimming for
the door. 1t begins to look very
messy after several coats have been
painted over it. and unless it is
badly Scared or so poorly designed
that it is an eyesore, 1t is better to
leave it unpainted.

Old thoughts for the New Year!
Lord Beaconsfeld says. In the
present day, and especially among
women, one would almost suppose
that health was a state OF unnatural
existence"
If we listen to the conversations
of men and women everywhere We
will be persuaded that this is true
of our today" Discussions Of
world topics. diets. child psychology.
business. art. music. the theater.
the cinema and literature have as
their undercurrent the signing re-
cital of minor physical disabilities.
Some one says, Il have had ter
rible headaches lately" Another.
I'm tired all the time" Another.
Il have a stiff Joint Can't raise
my arm above my shoulder! Age get
ting me, guess"
Over the bridge table or after
dinner. when the ladies retire to re-
pair their makeup, they often in
dulge in condolences about their
complaints. One who has weathered
living with some of the ease which
nature intended almost feels that
she is the queer one and doesn't
belong
Hundreds of petty ailments which
are simply a reflection of unwise
and unhygienic living are shrugged
off with the remark, We'll, we're
not as young as we used to be-
This calm acceptance of these
many small ailments which make
life drag is tragic IN view Of the
great vistas of prolonged youth and
vital old age which science is rap
idly opening up to us.
Add q sensible routine of exercise
to your day. Here's one for you.
Stand tall, tummy in. hips under.
Raise the arms upward as you ex-
hale, one arm by each ear. Now
swing them down and back as you
inhale deeply Continue, inhaling
deeply and exhaling thoroughly. Do
this slowly.

A Matter of Names

Virginia folks did a great job of nam ng
when they dubbed the road that state built
with Federal help, along the top of the
Blue Ridge range through part of the She
nandoah National Park. They may also
have contributed materially to inspiration
of great national highway connecting this
park with the Great Smoky Mountains Ma
tional Park, being built entirely with Fed
eral funds, though the two states in which
the road is located are contributing ma
terially through providing for rights-of-
way
But it is really names we have in mind.
'The Skyline Drive is what the Virginians
called their park road But the big road ex-
tending for several hundred miles, with the
larger mileage in North Carolina was Off
cially named "The Blue Ridge (Scenic)
Parkway" 1t is in fact national park, in
Guiding the driving surface and the well
handicapped right-of-way.
Many folks find it difficult to discrimi-
nate between the two names and refer to
the long mountain-top thoroughfare as
"The Skyline Drive" It is the plan to tie
the original skyline Drive into the Blue
Ridge Parkway and make continuous
scenic route from Washington to the center
of the Great Smoky park At present rate
of progress it will be several years yet be-
fore the entire conception is completed.
But the entire route under national park
service control and maintenance will be
the "Blue Ridge Parkway" and not "Sky-
line Drive" despite the slightly more eu-
phonious character Of the latter title-The
Lexington Dispatch.
