Jack Frost PAYS
Visit To County

Jack Frost paid a premature
visit to many sections of Ashe
county the past week end; but
because his touch was SO light,
little damage was done accord
ing to reports received in this
office.
Several sections reported
that the thermometer dropped
to as low as 80, and even SO
degrees. Deep Gap and Silas
Creek both had some frost as
did ether parts of Ashe county.
Even those not seeing frost
felt the need of extra blankets
on both Saturday and Sunday
nights.
Some oldtimers predicted
that this section would not
have q killing frost until the
end Of September, because of
this first early cold snap.

s Years. Praise Doesn't
Spoil Blind Hero's Wife

Observation-Disclosures years
OF praise and publicity have left
unspoiled the girl who first won ac-
claim by her loyalty to one of
Americas blind heroes.
She is Mrs. Ruth Schmid, young
wife of ex-Marine Sgt. Al Schmid,
who lost his sight while accounting
Tor some 200 Japs in the battle of
the Tenaru river on Guadalcanal.
On his return for disqualification
IN this country, Al wanted to break
MS engagement. He thought he
was through" Ruth said, May
be so, but not with me" and they
were married.
Today, Al as Democratic candi-
date for Pennsylvania secretary
OF internal affairs, has proved he
was far from Through" but if
Ruth has had anything to do with
his accomplishments, you'd never
know it from her.
She's glad AL has gone into poll
tics, but as for herself-well, she
has enough to do looking after
Little AL" now 81 months old. She
said:
I'm glad, because it's what AL
wants to do. He knows the prob
lens of veterans and he does so
want to help them"
She has no desire for a career of
her own-political or otherwise. All
she wants is to be a "good wife
and mother" She thinks the best
thing the wife of a returning serv-
iceman can do is to 'stick by him,
no matter what, and help him all
she can," especially if he has been
wounded or disabled.

HECHINGEN, GERMANY.-De-

today, Crown Prince Friedrich Will
helm Hohenzollern, son of the late
kaiser, has offered his services to

On the present political scene the
prince commented:
1.-THE Germans at the moment do
not know their own mind. They talk
of democracy, but even the Rus
SLAMS claim to have democracy, and
of course that is a bad joke"
Condemning both the present-day
politicians in Germany and the di-
vided occupation forces, the g.
year-old prince added:
1.-THE Russians have become such
imperialists. l am glad you have
got an atomic bomb in your trous-

or tear the fabric. If necessary,
press the fabric if you have a lot of
cutting to do.
You will find chalk marks and
tailor's tacks of inestimable value
as a guide to sewing and fitting the
pieces together. These should be
made in contrasting color so they
will be easy to find. Both sides
should be marked in exactly the
same way.
Before you start cutting, make
sure that the pattern-whether it be
a professional or a homemade one
fits. Then there will be no ma
jor alterations, once sewing and fit
ting are started.
It may be necessary to lay the
pattern out several times before you
can make it fit the material. This
is especially true when you are
making a garment out of old ma
terial, for then pattern layouts,
which are made with new material
in mind, will be of little help.
For the simple jumper which I
have described, you will need only
these parts: front bodice (made
without sleeves); back bodice; back

Stain Removal

One of the problems in the up
keep of clothing is the removal
of stains. There is no single set
of directions that can be given
for success every time, because
stains and fabrics vary greatly.
Some of the general tips for stain
removal, however, should be part
and parcel of every woman's
knowledge.
Stains should always be re-
moved before they set in the fab
ric. Soap and water make an ex-
cellent solvent for many stains
but will be harmful if the fabric
will not stand water. Ammonia
must be used cautiously as it
may remove the color from GER
tain fabrics.
Sheer fabrics like crepe and
chiffon can stand but little
sponging, so place an absorbent
pad underneath them and pat the
stain lightly with a solvent, fol-
lowing Immediately with a dry
cloth.
Lipstick. one of the commonest
stains, should be removed by
washing out, if possible. If the
fabric is not washable try a white
petroleum jelly and sponge with
carbon tetrachloride, available at
the drug store.

Cleaning Gloves

If you find that cleaning fluid
leaves gloves hard and dry, add a
little paraffin to the cleaning fluid.
Shave about three tablespoons OF
paraffin in a quart of non-inf1am-
mable cleaning fluid. When it is
dissolved, immerse the gloves in
the mixture. Gloves should be
rinsed in mor of the mixture, and
then smoothed out to dry. When
gloves are dry you can give them
a nice luster by rubbing with a very
soft cloth.

White pique is another trimming

Gray and black are two important
shades for suits this spring. The

Dresses of pure silk are very SIM

price of the material for one thing;
and the other, because the lovely

skirt next, by stitching the side
seams, then fit the skirt to the waist
band and to the bodice, pin in place
carefully, haste, and sew. The
capped effect over the sleeves may
be added after the jumper itself is
finished.
In a quilted material Of this type,
it is best to make the garment three
to five inches shorter than the dress.
No large turned seam should be
used, as this will make the hem too
bulky. Rather, it is best to use
a narrow binding at the skirt and
turn a little of the quilting under

Woman,s World
Quilted Bedspread Makes Fine
Jumper for a Teen-Aged Girl
Ry G,Aa Haley

THOSE lovely quilted bedspreads
L of which we are so fond for
dressing up our bedrooms begin to
show wear after a few seasons. Per-
haps it is a pity that the lovelier ma
terials do not last longer, but do
not despair. There's fine material in
these bedspreads for quilted jump
ers for the girl in her teens.
Quilted jumpers for the younger
set are just the thing to veal for
household duties. They keep the
dress from getting soiled, and be-
cause of their loneliness, they often
lend glamour to the mental tasks
such as busting or Strengthening up
to which every girl must devote
some of her time.
The principal function Of these
jumpers is to add a bit of color,
gaiety and charm. For this reason,
the loneliness of these old, WORKOUT
bedspreads are truly ideal. See that
the spread is well Numbered and
pressed before you begin working
on it. In many cases, these spreads
are just made of cotton, with lit
tie or no filler. If you + not
certain of material laundering well,
then have it dry-cleaned.
Patterns for Jumpers are ex-
tremely simple to cut and easy to
sew. They consist of a square neck,
usually, perhaps a bit of ruff1e over
the shoulder, a nipped-in waist and
seamless skirt.
By the way, if the bedspread has
a white background with a print
on it, you might like to dye it. Even
though the background is an attrac-
tive pastel, the print will show
through.
