Britain May Increase
Purchase Of Dollars
From Monetary Fund
BY the As.oeiossd Press

LONDON, Sept. ia govern
ment source declared yesterday ut
Is pretty certain" that Britain will
ask the International Monetary
Fund for more dollars in exchange
for sterling 10 help tide her over
the economic crisis.
The fund, now meeting here
jointly with the International Bank,
has approved Britain's application
for $6o,oOo,O 900 in exchange for
sterling.
Camille Quit, managing director
Of the fund, told news conference
that Britain could purchase a total
Of s217, ,000, 900 without exceeding its
quota Of the funds sterling hold
ings.
No Application Received.
He said, however, that to date
Britain had applied for only the
$50, ,000, 900 approved on Tuesday.
Hugh Dalton, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, may state tomorrow
whether Britain intends to make
further use Of the fund as a source
OF stop-gap aid.
Announcing that he would hold
news conference tomorrow, Mr..
Dalton said he would explain at
that time why Britain did not turn
sooner to the fund as a source of
help in her dollar crisis.
John j. McCloy, president of the
international Bank, attending yes
terday's meeting with newsmen,
said-while Mr.. Dalton vigorously
nodded agreement-that Britain had
not asked for loan from the bank.
Mr.. McCloy said the chances
were doubtful" that the bank
would make loans to finance pur-
chases of food-biggest drain on
Britain's mesgre supply of dollars.
Bank loans, he reiterated, are lin
tied to productive enterprises.
May Seek Loan Soon.
A government spokesman said
that Britain soon may apply to
the bank for a loan. Yesterday,
however, he said that possibility
was ''receding."
World bank loans, limited by the
borrowers reckoned ability to re-
pay, have been made at an interest
rate of 31a per cent. Mr.. McCloy
said, explaining the rate was about
a quarter of l per cent above the
rate on the banks bonds.
No interest-only three quarters
of one per cent service charges
made by the fund on currency ex-
change transactions carried out
within the quota Of the negotiating
member.
Both Mr.. McCloy and Mr.. Gutt
expressed the belief that the an
nual fund and bank meeting here
had permitted further exploration
of the needs of the debt-ridden
nations Of Europe.

The paper will for the present continue under the name of the Frontiersmar.

We shall do all in the power of the press to bring about this end.
 Our policy will be to print only those items that are confirmed and are ready for Seldovian' s, No friendly conversation will end up in the paper unless you are ready for it to.

tension and light pressure also are
recommended for plastic film stitch
ing.
When using plastic film for
shower curtains and matching win
dow curtains, it's good idea before
cutting desired lengths to hang. the
fabric over an open door with ends
balanced evenly on both sides. You
then can smooth out the wrinkles
with the balls of the fingers or the
palm Of the hand. Avoid fingernail
contact. however.
The use of weights rather than
pins on the cutting table also is a
big help when working with plas-
tics. You can fill small sacks with
beans or borrow marbles from the
youngsters for this purpose.
Use a pencil to mark off heading,
hems for curtains or follow pattern
markings. Do not use tailor's tacks
under any circumstances. You can
easily keep the pattern pieces to-
gether with ordinary paper clips
and thus avoid tearing the fabric.
Tubes or rolls of wrapping paper
come in handy, too, for you can roll
each cut section over it in the op-
posite order to the sequence on the
construction chart of the pattern.
This will keep pieces from becom-
ing wrinkled as well as giving neat
ness and orderliness to your work.

bit of talcum powder lightly over
the edge to be inserted into the
sewing machine attachment. II the
film seems tough from cold, brush
q very thin film of oil along the
edge of the fabric with the finger
tips. One drop Of oil is sufficient.
When a great deal Of ruf1ing Is
necessary, as in curtain making,
it's advisable to pass a h-inch
strip Of very fine emery cloth be-
tween blades of the rufler from
back to front, should there be any
inclination to skip gathers.
The emery cloth will provide a
gripping surface for the blades
since continued contact with plastic
film sometimes causes a waxy or
oily deposit to interfere with the
drive Of the blades.
If an oily condition develops when
using plastic film, simply dust very
lightly with talcum powder. If waxi-
ness appears, use emery paper on
the underside of the gathering foot
Plain fabric binding may be used
with plastic film and this is simply
treated as in average sewing. When
plastic binding is used, cut binding
A-inch in width and insert in the
outside slot of the binder. Since
plastic film does not fray, it is not
necessary to fold the edges under
as in fabric binding.

Onion C1avOring

The flavoring substance Of onion
Is an oil that blends with other fats
and oils in food. Therefore, good
way to capture and extend the full
flavor in stews or stuffings is to heat
chopped onion in a little fat a few
minutes and then add the other In
gradients. The same principle ap-
plies to salads. Add chopped onion
to the oil dressing, and allow 1t
to stand an hour or so before dress
ing the salad.

Preserve Scissors

Scissors and shears can be best
protected from rough knocks by
hanging them up or keeping them
In q box. In damp weather they
may need to be protected against
rust by wrapping in waxed paper.
Oiling, too. is necessary every SIX
months or so. After putting a drop
Of sewing machine oil on both SIDES
of the screw that holds the blades
together and working the blades
back and forth, the excess oil should
be wiped off. If rust or dark spots
appear, these can be removed by
rubbing with sandpaper or steel
wool; little oil should be put on
these places afterwards.

Well, David assented, IT sup
pose we don't have much in COM
mon. They don't farm nor raise
fruit"
Martha's heart ached even then
for David as he went into the yard.
She knew how close to his heart
was this small tract Of land. David
had taken the rocky hillside which
sloped down to the lake and upon II
he had built an orchard.
It had been long pull, waiting for
the trees to bear, but the loving
concern of their neighbors had
made it easy. That was the way
1t had been, before the rich peo-
pie had discovered the neighbor-
hood and it had become stylish. "
Since then, one by one. their old
friends and neighbors had dwindled
away. Better sen too. David" they
had urged. But David had been
stubborn.
Things had been harder then for
Martha. She missed her friends
with an aching loneliness that could
not be quieted. Until today she had
told David that she could stand it no
longer. And so they had driven into
town to the real estate Office.
THERE was a truck in their Or
u chard - no. IL was a station
wagon. And there were figures NOV
ing about In the gathering dusk.
A woman was lneeling beside the
station wagon carefully emptying
pears out of picking bag. There. -
she said. that's the last Of them. -
Men, loading boxes of pears into
the station wagon, turned to greet
them. Guess we're trespassing, +"
one Of them said. But you folks
weren't home and this gale came
up. We decided we'd better get your
pears picked before it got dark"
I'VE found all the equipment in
your fruit she'd" another man ex-
planned. "Guess it was nosey, but
we couldn't see you lose this swell
crop. Most Of us didn't know much
about picking fruit, but Sue here
bossed the job. She saw that we did
1t right"
They could only stare then at Sue
Streeter, who lived in the big house
up the hill. Sue, her face streaked
and dirty. ''You bet I made them do
it right" she said. II wasn't raised
on fruit ranch for nothing"
She walked over to where Martha
stood goggling. 1.-THE others are
down at the house," she said. "Your
house. We took the liberty of going
in to make some coffee. We knew
you wouldn't mind. After ALL" she
said matter-of-factly, I'VE are all
neighborS."
For a moment Martha stared,
then understanding washed over
her like a wave. That was the an
swer, stated so simply by this wom-
an with the tired face. 1--WE are all
neighbors," she had said. And that,
Martha realized, was their common
ground.
"Oh," she cried, hurry. I must
can Mr.. Mclean right away. We
nearly made a terrible mistake"
