Briefs

Ass't Extension Agent

Having trouble ironing those
ballerina skirts to keep the length
even?
Well, IL you don't want them
to ripple and dip, here are ironing
Instructions just received in the
Extension office.
For skirts made of wool, use a
press cloth and steam from the
right side of the skirt. Or use a
steam iron and work from the
right side Of the skirt. Or use a
steam iron and work from the
wrong side.
Usually there Is one seam on
these bias-cut skirts which Is cut
on the straight Of the material. The
length Of the skirt at this seam
will probably be the correct length.
Lay the skirt on the ironing
board 50 that this seam Is down
the middle Of the board and the
waistband Is just of the end Of
the board.

suit in Is per cent lowered eff.
ficiency, of A,e furSace. Fly ash
and SCOT make good insulation
materials for other purposes when
kept dry, according to R. N. Mill
er, extension agricultural engineer
at Washington State college.
The water pan should be cleaned,
because good health and heat saw
ing depend upon warm moist air
rather than hot dry air. Per
haps the home owner should plan
to install an automatic float valve
to insure an adequate supply Of
water in the pan. This item is
inexpensive and efficient.
Coal stokers should be cleaned,
oiled and adjusted. The electric
lines should be checked for worn
insulation. The motor bearins
should be oiled, using only two
or three drops Of Gil.
For forced air equipment, the
air cleaners should be cleaned or
replaced, the hood wiped out with
cloth wet with light oil. The
fan and motor should be tested
and the motor oiled. Two drops
of No. 20 cylinder oil in each
sleeve bearing are enough. Refill
the cups of hardoil oilers, repack
the bearings Of ball bearing mot
ors, using the special grease rec
commended by the manufacturer.
Because defective chimneys
rank high as q cause Of farm
fires during the heating sason .
good check Of the chimney should
be made. Sulfur in the coal tends
to loosen mortar. Leaks may de-
velop and the concrete chimney
cap may deteriorate.
An easy way to check on wheth-
er a chimney leaks Is related by the
extension engineer. After build
ing a fire in the heating plant
and smoke begins to roll, put .
cover over the top Of the Chin
neg for q minute or two. Any,
body IN the house win be able to
tell soon whether the chimney IS
leaking.
While up on the roof that point
of the house can be inspected.
Besides taking care Of any leak
spots the home owner needs to
keep In mind the fact that the
roof has to handle all The moisture
it will get between now and
spring. Il also has to turn away
the moisture without causing
trouble. That means cleaning out
the cutters and downspouts and
checking to see that they don't
leak.
If moss grows on the roof q
galvanized ridge or a bare, heavy
copper wire can be put on the
ridge and the moss will soon dis

mark the length of the seam by
placing pin in the ironing board
cover just at the hemline Of the
skirt. . ...-
Now start moving the skirt
around the ironing board. Move
the skirt at the hemline, but don't
attempt to move the waistband.
The waistband must move very
little each time you move the
bottom of the skirt. Move skirt
away from you when making a
new lay. II you move it toward
you, you'll probably pull 1t out

-ess. 49,. IL 49, 49,.
As each new. lay is made, stretch
or shrink the hemline to the
measurements indicated by the
pin in the ironing board cover.
Lengthen the skirt by steaming
and pulling the hemline out to
the proper length.
II the bias part OF the skirt
needs shrinking back into shape
use the following procedure: While
steaming. grasp the skirt with the
LETT hand near the hemline Of the
straight seam. Place the right
hand about half way up to the

the yarns are forced in the OPP

Prevent wrinkling by keeping
the portion of the skirt not on
the ironing board in front Of the
board, not in back or under it.
Avoid stretching the skirt too
tightly over the board or you may
find bubbles" from uneven
stretching. Repeat the process il

Behind the Curtain of Oil" will
be the topic of an address by
Baron Hans De Meiss Teuffen,
whose talk will be sponsored by
the Jacksonville Zionist District at
the Jewish Center, on Monday,
February 9th at 8 P. M.
Further details on his appear
ance here will be announced. at
the next general meeting of the
Zionist district on Wednesday,
January 18th at the Center, at
which time a technicolor film,
Assignment Tel Aviv" will be
shown, with Vincent Reynolds as
narrator.
Press correspondent and vaga-
bonding adventurer, Hans De
Meiss Teuffen has visited Palestine
six times in the past ten years.
He has lived and worked with
Jewish settlers in the kibbutzim,
Toasted in the tents of the Bed
ouins and rubbed elbows with the
westernized Arabs in their salons,
giving him an extraordinary in
sight into all phases of life,in the
country. Himself a non-Jew and
a Swiss, Mr.. De Meiss Teuffen
masqueraded as an uncertificated
immigrant on the occasion of his
first visit to Palestine, and in the
dead of night sailed his small boat
into Haifa harbor and crept
ashore. He was later apprehend-
ed by the British and experienced
a taste of British prisons. His
identity was soon established, and
he was given the freedom of the
country.
Determined to mingle with all
sorts of people and learn the coun-
try from the bottom up, he worked
as a farm mechanic on a agricul-
tural experiment station, shoveled
sand on the seashore, stayed in an
Austrian monastery for a week.
became successfully an electrician
ditch-digger, truck driver, hotel
clerk and orange picker. He was
the only non-Jewish member OF the
Histadruth.
Whether travelling on his own
or as a reporter for the United
Press, Mr.. De Meiss Teuffen
quickly absorbed the life and spirit
of Palestine and came away with
a burning love and admiration for
what the Jews have achieved
there. His experiences, anecdotes
and observations constitute a
thrilling and little told version OF
life today in Eretz Israel.

Mrs. George CHAT of Atlanta,
regional president, will preside at
the conference where delegates
from 80 Hadassah chapters in
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina
and Puerto Rico will be present.
The Puerto Rican chapter is the
only one outside the continental
United States.
Mrs. Walter Solomon, president
of the Charleston chapter of Ha-
dassah, which will be host to the
conference, points out that this
conference will be a particularly
important one, coming just after
the United Nations decision to par
titiOn Palestine into Jewish and
Arab states.
Hadassah, which was founded
in 1912, has been consistently con-
cerned with healing, and has
worked to improve the sanitation
and living conditions of all the
people of Palestine. The first Ha-
dassah medical detachment went
to Palestine in 1918 and today the
Rothschild Hadassah Medical Cen
ter outside of Jerusalem is cOnsid-
cred the most modern institution
of its kind east of London. Jews,
Arabs and Christians all receive
equal care and attention in all
Hadassah medical centers.
Another important phase of Ha-
dassah's work is the Youth Aliyah
movement which has brought more
than 10000 children, most of them
orphans, into Palestine. $4,000
still remain in Europe and Hadas-
sab hopes the partition plan will
facilitate bringing in the rest Of
these children.
Approximately $50 delegates are
expected to attend the conference,
plans for which are being arranged
by Mrs. Bernard Olasov.
Mrs. Moses p. Epstein, former
national president, and now nat
iOnal political chairman, is to be
at the conference as Nationals
Representative and advisor and will
be the main speaker at the closing
banquet at the Francis Marion
Hotel, February 8. Miss Ruth
Ludwin, National Vice-President
| of Junior Hadassah, will be the
speaker at the opening luncheon
on Sunday, and will serve as Nat
iOnals advisor to the Junior Reg
ional conference, which is being
held in conjunction with the Senior
lHadassah conference.
Delegates and out of town Wis
itors will be the guests of the
Charleston chapter at buffet
supper Sunday evening. A sight
seeing tour of the places of inter-
est in the city and several other
entertaining plans are being ar
