The vacuum cleaner that lightens
your labors must serve for the
duration. Because manufacturers
are making weapons for war, new
models are becoming more and
more difficult to buy. Nor it is al
ways easy to obtain professional
serving for complicated repairs. So
it's the better part of wisdom and
wartime economy to take care of
this faithful plugged-in servitor and
increase its life expectancy. For
that purpose here are some rules
to follow:
Clean and oil the motor bearing
once everey six or eight weeks and
follow manufacturer directions on
the kind of oil to use and how to
apply.

SPOT OF VITAMINS
Donald Nelson, chairman of the

at large vitamil tea planned for
the nations workers.
The vitamin experimentation
program has been tried in several
war plants for some time. Workers
are offered mid-shift refreshment
such as lemonade and cookies forth
fled with vitamins. 1t has worked so
well that WPB is going ahead to
promote nationwide expansion of

risen to new highs
RATION TOKEN QUIZ
@. When I begin to use tokens
on Feb. q, and each stamp is worth
10 points, will I have more points
to spend than I do now?
A. No. You will have almost ex-
actly the same number of points
that you have now. You will
simply use fewer stamps during any
one ration period. That's one adj
vantage of the new plan: your re-
taller will have to handle fewer
stamps, and your book will last
longer.

BrightenS Children'S
Home Party
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer

Even though children love birth
day parties, they are often hard
to get started. One easy way for a
mother to break the ice is to Or
ganize game in which all the
children can participate and have
rollicking good time. All-time
favorites with the younger set are
the jovial card games like Old Maid
and Donkey, Go-Fish and I Doubt
1t. A few rounds at this and a
try at Going to Jerusalem are sure
to warm things up. But refresh
ments are always in the back of
their minds. Why not serve ginger
bread men or cookies with ice cream
and cocoa?
If you have a gingerbread man
cookie cutter, all you need to do
is put the raisins on the face ard
body. If you don't have a cut
ter, cut out figure from cardboard,
lay it on the rolled dough and
then cut around 1t with a small
pointed knife. Or else leave the
dough in the bowl and then with
Toured hands pinch off pieces and
form them into balls for the head
and body and into little rolls for
the arms and legs. The figures
are made by joining head, body,
arms and legs and flattening them
to about Ia inch thickness right on
the baking sheet.
