SEWING MACHINE REPAIR
MEETS WARTIME NEEDS

Sewing machine care and repair
demonstrations are helping to meet
three big wartime clothing jobs
making, making over and mending-
according to Miss Helen Shelby, cloth
ing specialist, and A. V. Krewatch,
specialist in agricultural engineering
for the University of Maryland extern
sion service. Miss Shelby points out
/ that sewing machine in good run
ming condition helps families practice
the conservation and thrift so essen
tial now
Machines from attics, machines dis
carded as not being repairable, along
with machines badly out of adjust
ment, gummed with oil and hard to
turn, find their way to these demon
strations, as we'll as machines that
need just a little cleaning, oiling and
adjusting.
Nh krewatch estimates that the %
demonstrations held thus far, where
some $50 Maryland homemakers have
learned to condition their own ma
chimes, have a service value to those
women Of about $4,000 The 81 ma
chimes considered not repairable that
were put into operation show a saw
ing of critical war materials by max
ing it unnecessary to purchase new
equipment. If each replacement is
valued at $50, the total would amount
to $1,7O0.
All well-made sewing machines, Mr..
Krewatch says, whether now or old,
used constantly or idle, can be made
to run easily and sew perfectly. Even
old machines that have seen genera
tons of household use, can be put in
tirst-class condition and need not be
exchanged for a newer machine, he
states. Parts may need to be replaced
but the machine will seldom wear out
if cleaned, oiled and adjusted period
ically.
The demonstrations have proved
that the cleaning, oiling and adjust
ing can be done by the owned without
the use Of special tools or skill. Ger
tain adjustments must be correct for
perfect sewing, and making these ad-
justments was one of the step-b y-step
phases of the demonstration. The
homemaker does not leave until she
has demonstrated her skill and has
correctly adjusted and tested her ma
chine.

work that will be done on sewing
machines in Garrett county in June.

FARMERS ASKED TO COOPERATE
IN RATIONING MEATS AND FATS

Surrender of red stamps with the
purchase of meats, cheese, butter, ed
IDLE oils and fats, and canned fish is
now necessary by regulations of the
Office Of Price Administration. During
the month of April 16 points will be
allotted to each person per week.
Although farm families are not re-
stricted in the amount of food they
may produce for their own table, Miss
Esther Knowles, home management
specialist of the University of Mary
land extension service, points out that
they are urged strongly to practice
voluntary rationing.
Farm families have as many points
with which to purchase these foods,
she says, as do families living in ur-
ban communities, who must purchase
all, or nearly all, such items needed
for their diets. In this respect, the
farm family has a great advantage
over the city dweller.
Many farm families, it is pointed
out, are entirely self-sustaining and
have no necessity for purchasing any
Of the rationed meats, fats, fruits or
vegetables. Such families are urged
to retain their stamps, not to give
them away, nor to purchase foods
which they do not need for them
selves.
1t is only in this way that ration
gin can be effective, Miss Knowles
states, and effective rationing means
equal distribution of scarce goods to
all people.
