Dance for
Those Who
can't'Saturdav

People of Seward will be dane
ing Saturday night, dancing for
those who can't dance.
The better time they have at the
Grand Ball Saturday evening, jan
uary 20, the greater the benefit to
paralysis victims and crippled chill
dren.
All preparations for the Annual
Grand Ball have been completed,
chairman Hal Gilfilen announced
Thursday.
The dancing will begin at pm.
and continue until am. Music
will be furnished by an orchestra
composed of Doris Smith at the
piano, Charles Lechner, drums; B.
Davis, saxophone; Park Smith,
violin; Jack Willis, trombone, and
Ted Bristow, banjo.
The Rainbow Girls will be there
to give their services in the check
room and in serving refreshments.
This will be the only opportunity
of the year for the general public
to participate in the work of the
Infantile Paralysis Committee and
the Public Health and Welfare
Council.
Tickets are now on sale, and will
be on sale at the door at Sl.lO per
person. Half of the fund raised
will be used locally for crippled
children in emergencies. and the
other half will be forwarded to
the Infantile Paralysis Foundation
headquarters in New York
1t is not a large number of cases
of infantile paralysis which makes
it major health problem. It is the
fact that disqualification for long
periods of time is required
Gripping of the victim is one of
the after effects which makes this
illness of far-reaching social and
economic consequence.
Care Of the patient involves hos
pital treatment, convalestent care,
special education and vocational
guidance. and additional care in
the home.
The expense of providing these
facilities, in addition to transpor-
tation and orthopedic appliances,
is considerable. But neglect is
more costly.
The price of each ticket, bought
to provide q dancing good time,
will be used to make a better life
for some stricken child, perhaps
the child of one of Saturday eve
ning's dancers.

Bay Dragged
For Body Of
George Poe, 3

George Lee Poe, three-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rex Poe,
slipped on the icy bridge and was
drowned in the icy water water
pouring from the Bear Mountain
tunnel Thursday at about 1870 in
the morning.
His brother, only year older,
tried to grab him and then tried to
pull him out by means of a stick.
The drowning boy grasped the
stick twice, but could not hold it
to pull himself out. The third time
he did not even make an attempt
to grab the stick.
Police received the telephone re-
port at 11:49, and rushed to the
scene. BY that time the boy had
disappeared entirely in the strong
current.
Police found the place where he
slipped from the bridge. The snow
was ice crusted.
At the time the boy fell into
the water the tide was at it's high
est and there was about five feet
of water under the bridge. At low
tide it would be q simple matter
for even q child to scramble out of
the creek
The lighthouse tender, the Cedar.
was in port at the time and at the
request of Marshal Metcalf and
Chief of Police Clark. 1t. Harmon,
commander of the Cedar, put out
boat with four men to drag the
waters along the shore and make
a thorough search.
Walkie-talkie radio sets We're
used to maintain communication
between the shore, the boat and
the ship at the Army dock.
On Friday morning the search
, was continued, but at press tllne'
no further information was avail
able.
I Seward police expressed warm
appreciation for the aid from the
Coast Guard and the Army. 1t.
Keidser dispatched three men to
aid in the search Thew travelled on
foot all the way to Lowell Point
and back over the rocks and
through the snow.
The three soldiers were pretty
we'll bruised and exhausted by the
time they returned and on top of
that found themselves stuck with
clothing to replace or have cleaned.

SEWING For Children

More children's clothes are being
made at home today than at any
time since before the war, cloth
ing specialist of the U. S. Depart
from correspondence with extern
ment of Agriculture conclude
sion workers in many states as
we'll as from stores selling pat
terms, yard goods and other home
sewing supplies. Stores have re-
ported recently that from 20 to
SO per cent of their total pattern
sales are for children's clothes.
Home dressmaking has been in
creasing ever since the war, but
until recently much of it has been
in women's clothing Now ap-
parently mothers are finding that
they can make substantial savings
by sewing for their children as
well as themselves. The Exten-
sion Service reports that high
prices plus the problems of get
ting unsatisfactory quality in
children's readymade clothes
have been giving mothers so
much concern that almost every
state held special meetings dur
ing the past year on selection of
children's wear.
The children as well as the
family pocketbook benefit if
mothers choose patterns and fab
RIGS suited especially to children's
needs. Clothes which are roomy
yet well-fitted allow for COM
fort and free movement of young
children at their most active age.
Clothes have been found to have
pronounced effct on the health
and habit formation of infants and
pre-school children especially.
Clothes designed to make it easy
for children to dress themselves
encourage initiative, self-reiance
and skill early in life. Loosely
styled garments are not ripped,

Dustinq Efficiency

Look over several types OF
equipment before purchasing a
busting brush, dust pan or a
vacuum cleaner, advises Miss
Eva Legett, Extension specialist
in consumer education.
In brushing up floors, a long
handled dust pan and a push
broom are recommended instead
of common short handled dust
pan and dust brush. Long
handles save back bending.
Before buying a vacuum clean
err, try it out to see whether the
handle is the right length for COM
Portable use.
Since the vacuum cleaner is an
important purchase, learn before
buying about the different types,
their price rangs and their speci-
fic functions. Compare several
models for efficiency, durability
and convenience.
The following points about
vacuum claners may prove help
full. First, the efficiency of a
cleaner depends on both suction
and air flow High suction is Of
ten over stressed, as practically
any machine has enough suction
to draw away loosened dirt.
A high speed motor does not
always mean higher suction. The
design of the fan, its size and the
design of the fan chamber are also
important in creating suction.
Find out whether the motor is
sealed in" This eliminates need
for oiling,
Look over the cleaning tools,
and see whether they will take
care of the needs for which

Reduce Laundry Fatigue

Much of the backache and gen.
eral strain which often accom-
panies home laundering can be
eliminated by few simple
changes in the working arrange
ment, according to Miss Lorraine
Ford, Extension home manage
ment specialist.
Correcting working height of
tubs and tables will add to COM
fort through correct posture.
Tubs should be high enough to
permit bending from hips only.
Top edges of the tubs should be
about five inches higher then the
table top, which is almost Al
inches for a person of average
height.
If the bench under wash tubs
is too low, it can be raised to
the correct height by placing
blocks under the legs.
Home laundry equipment
should be SO arranged as to make
the sequence of work possible
with a minimum number of steps.
A table used for sorting soiled
clothes will eliminate much stoop-
ing, as well as getting the clothes
more dirty on the foor. A tub
for rinsing near the wash tub or
machine and a basket or laundry
cart to hold the clothes will per-
init continuous working ar
rangement.
A work table adjacent to the
ironing board will serve for
sprinkling and folding, as well as
a place for ironed linens. A
clothes rack and hangers at hand
are convenient for hanging
clothes as they are ironed.
Much of the STOPPING, bending
and stretching that makes wash
day so tiresome can be eliminated
,v having really good clothes
line and miscellaneous equipment.
Get a clothesline of good rope or
wire, a clothes basket,
d clothespin bag and good clothes
bins.

If the basket is placed on 9
coaster wagon or stand about IL
inches high fitted with movable
casters. much energy is saved
avoiding lifting and carrying the
basket, then STOPPING to get each
piece from the basket.
Good posture for ironing is I'M
portant. The most important point
about the ironing board is height.
Plan carefully for the praper
height when constructing built
in ironing board. Remember that
standing is fatiguing even with
proper height, so consider the
possibility of adjusting the board
and stool for ironing while seat
ed.
