To me, it is just about perfect,
the idea that washing can be dried
Indoors, easily and quickly, and
with no stringing of clotheslines,
whether near the floor, or half
way UP, or in the Tropical zone,
close to the ceiling.
You have a good-looking cab
met, standing in almost any con-
venient spot. 1t is connected up
to electricity or gas. You merely
snap on a switch. drop in the
washing-instead of taking it out
doors-and that's all there is to It!
After a little while the things
are ready to iron or you can leave
them in a little longer, get them
bone-dry, iron them any other
time you choose.
Let it rain! Let it blow! What
does it matter? It's always good
drying weather with a set-us like
that.
Think of the work you save. No
more do you lift heavy baskets.
No more do you carry them up
stairs and outdoors. No more do
you put up the ciotheslines. No
more do you stoop and bend and
lift and strain as you work to
hang everything. No more do you
do the whole beastly rigamarole
over again in reverse, when, as or.
if the washing gets dry.
No more do you risk your good
health, going from warm indoors
to chilly outdoors No more do
you risk dust. dirt. smoke. SCOT,
undoing your washing.
Drying is better, too, because
everything is tumbled over and
over gently in a soft breeze of
warm air, just the right tempera-
ture. No swapping things to and
fro, as on every day when it turns
out to be windy.
What are we waiting for!

The results of the 1948 Corn
Contest were announced at
farm meeting Monday Night, Nov
ember 20. During the past years,
the winner of the contest was
based on an estimated yield, but
this year the yield is actual.
These estimates were calculated
and then the corn from the high
est acre was shucked and weigh
ed. Charles L. Liner, Rt. |,
Warrenton, was the winner with
an actual yield of 1O7 bushels
per acre. Since this acre had
the highest estimated yield, 9TH
ers having estimated yield in
excess of 107 bushels were re-
duced proportionally. 1t can be
said that the winners of this con-
test this year actually produced
the corn, eliminating guess work.
