March OF Dimes
Very Important

In order to impress upon all
local chairmen, the Importance of
the March of Dimes, which be-
gins January II on a nation wide
scale, Noble county chairman,
Rev. o. o. Wilson has received
a telegram from the national
president, Basil O'Connor.
The entire text of the telegram
is as follows:
II am sending this wire to all
fund raising chairmen because of
my duty to advise you of the i'm
portance of the next March of
Dimes drive. In 1948 alone it has
cost seventeen million dollars TO
care for infantile paralysis pa
tients, of this amount national
headquarters sent to chapters six
million, five hundred thousand
dollars. Our epidemic emergency
aid fund at national headquarters
is now completely exhausted.
Many chapter treasures have
been totally depleted. Make no
mistake about it. This is an en1er-
gency situation. If we are to con-
tinue to help polio victims and be
prepared for epidemics next year
and continue our research and
educational programs, the March
of Dimes next January must be
the greatest ever and net at least
thirty million. Without this sum
we cannot fulfill our pledges to
patients and the public. Please do
everything to help"

To Save Valuable Time, Charles Spencer Questions
Katharine Carefully About His Son-in-lows Condition

81 can see no possible reason for
his moving even a finger" my faith
err said. "But I should like to hear
his account of what has happened.
Margaret, will you please show DR..
Twitchell the telephone, and then
come back here?"
Hurried Back
"This way, DR.. Twitchell," said,
and escorted him to the telephone.
Then / hurried back to my husbands
side, finding my father engaged in
questioning Katharine.
"What did he say would happen
if the bone were just grazed, or if
it were shattered" he was asking.
'If the bone is shattered" Katha-
rine said, Enthusiastically putting
the bad news first, in order to leave
hope with her later hypothesis, she
will have to stay in the hospital
some time. He could not possibly 60
to the farm. But, Madge could 60.
of it is only a graze," she went
on steadily, che may leave the hos
pital sometime this forenoon-it is
after midnight now-and can go to
the farm tomorrow as he had
planned"
To Save Time
"Did DR.. Twitchell say which hy-
pothesis he held?" my father asked.
please believe me, dear child" he
added, 81 am asking you these ques-
lions only to save time. We have
much before u.s."
II understand perfectly she said,
smiling at him, "but 1 can tell you
only what DR.. Twitchell said. He is
almost sure that the bullet only
grazed the bone, but he will not
voice that opinion as certain. He
wants to see the X-rays."
"Of course" my father said.
THANK you. 1 shall not have to
question DR.. Twitchell."
The physicians face held salts

"They will be all ready at the hos

Choose A
New RUq
Carefully
By ELEANOR ROSS

A GOOD carpet or rug takes .
huge bite out Of the budget when
doing q room, but it Is folly to 60
ahead and just choose anything be-
cause the floor must be covered. It
is better by far, to have nicely pol
ished floor and some simple rugs,
or cover it with . good grade Of
linoleum.
While carpet stocks are gradually
improving, there is still a distinct
scarcity and prices are high. So 20
carefully when choosing . rug.
Making . Selection
It is . pity that carpets aren't
factually tagged. It would be .
great help when making q selection.
Pile yarns should consist entirely
of wool fibers. But many carpets
have cotton for pile and for backing.
while some even have rayon. It
comes down to this. The rug with
the most wool will wear the best,
will crush the least and look the
best.
Buy always at q reputable store,
choosing rug with q brand name.
Then you will get what you are
paying for. Examine the pile Of .
carpet. While height is all very nice,
it is not as important as thickness,
and, anyway, it brushes more easily
that short pile. Thin pile brushes
more than thick. As you use the
carpet you will discover that the
carpet will appear lightest where
wear is the hardest.
Whether the choice be Administer.
Wilton, Brussels, velvet, tapestry or
chenille. choose the very best in
whatever class the budget permits.
As for size, wall to wall carpet
ing is of course the most luxurious
in appearance. With fine broadloom
it is a good idea to use scatter rugs.
but these should contain background
colors that harmonic with the car
pet. Place small rugs with care. One
near door that is used, makes good
sense. Don't place a rug diagon4lly.
Place it in front of large pieces Of
furniture, such al . sofa, another
safeguard for the carpet. Unless the
room is large, use only two, never
more than three. otherwise the room
will take on the appearance Of .
rug store.
Care for your rugs well. A pro-
fessional shampoo at least once .
year is an investment that pays
dividends. If possible, take up your
good rugs in the summer. have them
stored, and replace with simple
summer rugs, another good invest
ment.
