Should hot water supplies be short
or the water hard, these methods may
be used for a thorough rinse: Just
before lifting the clothes from the
wash water, souse each piece up and
down quickly, then wiring it very dry
The more suds that can be pressed
out, means that much less to rinse out
If there is not enough hot water for
several rinses, at least have the first
rinse hot and the second and third
rinses as warm as convenient. Even
lukewarm water is better for rinsing
than cold water.
If the water is hard, as it is in
many sections of the county, a rinse
in thin, clean, hot suds helps carry off
dirty suds and hard water deposits
before the clothes go into clear water.
After the soapy rinse, give clothes two
or three rinses in clear water until
the water shows no trace of soapiness.
Clothes must move freely under wa

school at this time of year. Many of
the children are beginners, quite
small, and several have a considerable
distance to travel before they could
contact the bus This means that
they would have to meet the bus here
at 800 a.. IN. BY way of contrast
any of the children could leave home
at this time and reach the Sang Run
school before nine o'clock.
Singular, but true, each member of
the Board of County Commissioners
were in favor of the opening of our
school, and another prominent repre-

also recognized our need for a school

proved entirely futile. Notwithstand-

perhaps surprised-if you knew how
many of your own townspeople disap-
prove of your action.
1t is highly unfortunate for our
community that a few citizens feel
that their children can derive greater
benefits from consolidated schools.
But the majority of the school patrons
feel that the destiny of their chill

Homemakers' Column
Edited by Mildred Barton Hoffman,
Home Demonstration Agent
TATTLE-TALE GRAY

That tattle-tale gray that haunts the
lives of so many homemakers may be
due, not to the kind of soap used, but
to poor job of rinsing. Soap left in
fabric may make it dingy, yellow, or
even brownish in streaks and may
eventually weaken the fibers.
Ideal for rinsing is an abundant sup
ply of hot soft water. Tests show that
rinse water about as hot as the wash
water - lis to 120 degrees F. re-
moves soap and loosened dirt most
easily. Hot water has the advantage
of softening fabric, opening the weave
and dissolving soap quickly. In con-
trast, when clothes go from hot wash
water to cold rinse, the fabric con-
tracts and may actually hold in some
soap and dirt. Soft water dissolves
soap without leaving scum or mineral
sediment.

Local Soldier Serves
With 33Sth Regiment
In Mountainous Italy

! WITH THE FIFTH ARMY, Italy

ing in Italy with the 33Sth Infantry
Regiment which has been credited
: with killing and wounding many hun
dreds of Germans and taking nearly
700 prisoners in four weeks Of cold,
bitter fighting in the Gothic Line.
They are called the ''old timers, y
and are veterans of bloody Solacciano
Ridge and the Gustav Line, Forma,
the Gaeta Peninsula and Rome. They
are now standing at the approaches to
the Pc Valley, a long haul from Min

! lines on last April 81.
| The LIST Battalion led in the capture
of Mount Altuzzo, 5000 feet of
straight up" rock, key to vital II
Giogo Pass, major objective of the
S5th Division. This same unit staged
an amphibious landing to occupy Sper-
Tonga above Gaeta last May
Earlier, a company in the 2nd Bat
talon seized strategic position in
| the Gustav Line and held it against a
| desperate German battalion for three
days. This feat was almost duplcat-
ed by the same company in attacking
Mount Zanobi above Fircnzuola and
holding the peak all day against four
Jerry counterattacks, including two
with tanks which fired directly into
the GI's foxholes.
! The 2nd Battalion, one of the first
Allied units to enter Rome, defeated
elements Of the Germans crack 4th
Paratroop Division in the II Giogo
Pass drive.
The "old timers" of the 338th have
won three Distinguished Service

than 200 Bronze Stars.

The regiment jumped off at Solacciano
on May Il at the start of the historic
Fifth Army offensive in Italy. After
helping to breach the Gustav Line,
the 33Sth captured Formia on May IS.
The amphibous trick at Sperlonga
followed, then the End and 3rd Batta-
lions took Mount Nero. The entire
regiment advanced northward to cap

At Lariano, the 33Sth attacked the
Observation-Disclosures Line, the last de-
Tense line before Rome, held by the
Herman Gocring Division, and after a
threc-day offensive by the 1st and

The Bird joined another regiment in

PASS THE
AMMUNITION!

One man out of every five in the
armed forces is union member. But
Judging from the average discussion
in any army camp, these two million
trade unionists succeed in hiding
the fact very we'll This is the conten-
ton of Lieutenant Frederick Borden,
writing in a recent issue of liberal
magazine.
Sporadic and isolated support" of
labor is all Lieutenant Borden ever
gets from his trade union brothers in
card cannot be distinguished by his
opinions from the soldier who has had
no contact with organized labor. In
many cases he is as easily misled, as
hazily informed, as distant and preju-
diced as the rest of the ten million
men in the services. And large part
of the blame for this state of affairs,
the lieutenant charges, must be laid
at the door Of organized labor-not
for what it has done, but for what it
has failed to do.
Reluctantly, we must agree. Organ
lied labor has been doing only a part
time job for army morale. Through
the Labor League for Human Rights,
members of the AFL have contributed
millions of dollars to the USO, to the
~ ,iyo
which minister to the needs of our
boys. Labor canteens have met with
extraordinary success in Philadelphia,
Boston, Detroit and other cities. But
morale is not exclusively matter of
physical comfort, entertainment and
recreation. Morale is equally matter
of sustaining the soldiers confidence
in the home front, his dignity as sn
individual, and his hopes for ~. nal
security in the postwar world.
Do our trade unionists in the armed
forces know the facts which would
make them proud to avow their union
affiliations, and which would enable
them to present labor's point of view
in an argument? Has organized labor
sufficiently emphasized the import
ance Of it's function as protector OF
wage and working standards and Of
the right of collective bargaining
Have we explained to our members

PROTEST MADE AGAINST
CLOSING FARM LABOR
HOMES PROJECTS

Memphis, Tenn. (ILNS).-A pro-
test has been filed with Marvin Jones,
administrator of the War Food Ad-
ministration, against plans for closing
the u farm labor homes projects in
southeast Missouri that house up
wards of 500 farm laborers families.
H. l.. Mitchell, president of the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union in a
letter to the VIA head said that his
organization had learned that plans
were under way to discontinue using
the projects as labor supply centers
and sell them out to local plantation
owners.
Mitchell pointed out that plantation
owners in 1889 welcomed construction
of these projects by the Farm Security
Administration because it gave them
an extra labor supply in the cotton
chopping and picking season. He also
said that the government developed
the housing projects following dem
onstration of 1900 members of the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union who
in January of that year moved out on
the highways and camped after being
served with eviction notices when
Missouri plantation owners suddenly
changed over from share cropping to
a wage labor basis.

che International Labor Organization,
declared that "the conditions of last

soundly organized economic institu-
tions fortified by humane labor stand
ards, regular employment and ade-
quate income for all the people"
The Presidents emphasis on the
economic basis of world peace, as read
to the conference by Secretary of La
Dor Frances Perkins, was warmly re-
ceived by representatives of forty-one
nations
Walter Nash, Deputy Prime Minis
ter of New Zealand, elected as confer

set by President Roosevelt and made
a plea in behalf of an ILO program
that would "maximize production" and
free people all over the world from
want.
A similar note was struck by Carter
Goodrich, chairman of the governing
body, who called the meeting to order.
He said that the concern of the ILO is
to see that the conditions under which
men live and work are given primary
attention.
The Presidents message and the
speeches which followed laid the basis
for proposals to broaden the scope
of LILO which will be discussed within
the next three weeks.

the services, and much comfort drawn
from the fact that the more than two
million trade unionists in uniform are
presumably doing their share to
eliminate anti-labor prejudice. But
they cannot do their share unless they
are kept Informed of all developments
in the world of labor. They cannot de-
fend trade unionism unless they are
continually aware of its latest prob
lens, needs, purposes and long-range
plans. And it is up to us to pass them
their ammunition.
