Buttons venerable town clock

Albert Benroth moved the clock s

ticked on just as if nothing had

Since rationing has come in, there
are tires for farm tractors but none
for farmers autos. So what did we
see the other day but farmer driv-

pulling two wheel trailer with sew

an hour Sunday night-but not Sam
Stepleton of North Lawn avenue.
Through some miscalculation Sam
was up bright and early Monday
morning-in fact whole hour early

tended. He says for once he even
beat Albert Oyer who holds the
record as the neighborhood's early
riser.
And don't be surprised if prohibi-
tion comes for the duration. Some
of the boys say it's nearer than
many suppose. Reasons given are
that distillery facilities may be
needed for wartime alcohol produc-
tion-and too lavish spending in
night spots may make it hard to
meet income tax payments. Whether
it's liquor, auto ioyriding or what
not, if it cramps getting on with
the war, you'll see it on the way
out in a hurry.

Take Time OUT
To Get In Some
Civic Activities
Well Planned
Day Will Make
Life Interesting
(By PATSY GRAvEs)

YOU WOULD like very much to
do more Red Cross work Your local
civilian defense organization really
needs your help, and you would
like to lend hand. You've been
promising Mrs. Jones to join the
PrA for ever SO long. But alas, you
never seem to get the time to take
part in civic activities. There's the
washing, the ironing, cooking and
sewing, stewing and fretting to be
done. When it's all over, there is
either no time left, or you're so
dead tired you wouldn't be any good
to any sort of organization.
YOU NEED TO GET OUT from
from the daily grind for more rea-
sons than one First, there was never
time when your services were more
needed There is much to be done,
and precious few competent people
to do it, Further. to take an inter-
est in the outside world will make
you gayer and younger There is
nothing like getting outside of your
own four walls. sharing work and
experience and accomplishment with
other women like yourself.
THE ANSWER TO THAT OLD
EXCUSE, of not having time
enough for your community lies in
an energy budget. It's the same type
of budget you use for income, only
its yourself you divide into parts
rather than your money. Put up
family blackboard in the kitchen.
On it put your schedule and your
reminder notes. The reminders are
not only for you but for the others
of the family too. Because when the
young ones forget their chores, who
usually does them? Why, mother,
of course.

Invitations These invitations
are very important Use half as
many hearts as you will have
guests and make cunning faces OF
them with gu1nmed hearts for
eyes and mouths. Cut the heart
faces irregularly in halves so that
no two are alike. Fasten a red
ribbon to the top of each half and
add tiny safety pin. A small tag
at the end of the ribbon reads
''I you can't come to the Valen-
tine bridge, A heart will be all
broken, For someone then will be
alone, If she holds half a token.
Wear this pinned to your should
er. On (the date) AT taddress) !.
Mail the half hearts to your
guests. 1t will be nice mixer to
have everyone hunting for her
partner before the bridge begins.
