Full Control

Forgotten but not gone in many
homes at fall house cleaning time
are carpet beetles and clothes
moths, say entomologists of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
Spring has so long been the ira
ditional time for the "moth-cam-
paign" that many housewife is
unaware that spraying is needed
because with modern heating these
pests can thrive in winter.
Before winter woods and furs
are hung in closets, the closets
should be cleaned thoroughly and
then walls, baseboards, woodwork
and shelves sprayed with five
per cent DOT oil solution. Use a
residual spray which leaves an
invisible film of DOT on closet
surfaces to kill pests coming in
contact with it, even several mon
tbs after application. The social
led aerosol bombs or space sprays
40 not give lasting protection but
do kill insects reached by the in
SecticiCe when the aerosol is re-
| leased.
DOT oil solution may be sprayed
lightly on wool clothes without in
jury 20 the fabric or to the person
who wears the clothes after the
spray has evaporated. Use just
enough to moisten the fabric. APP
ply lightly on both sides of heavy
fabrics. Too much of the solution
may leave whitish traces on dark
wool but these can be brushed or
sponged off with dry cleaning
fluid.
! Clothes moths are blamed for
much damage done by carpet beet
les, the entomologists say. Reports
from many parts of the country
indicate that the damage caused
by carpet beetles is increasing. 1t
is the carpet beetle larvae that do
the destructive feeding. These are
harder and move around more
than clothes moth larvae, and are
killed more slowly by DDT-may
not die for several days after ex-
posture to DOT. In spraying
against carpet beetles, apply plen-
ty of the solution to cracks in
floors and around baseboards
where they frequently live. A 10
per cent DOT dust blown into
cracks gives added protection.

Lamps For Christmas

Surprise your friends and mo-
Their, sister and Aunt Mary with a
table lamp for Christmas. You
can make these from old coal-oil
lamps, large bottles, vases, candle
sticks and blocks of wood.
Take an old coal oil lamp IL
to IL inches high and remodel ii
into a reading lamp. Hardware
stores sell oil lamp adapters. Buy
one that fits your old lamp. Screw
this into the lamp bowl and you
are nearly through.
Besides the adapter you will
need socket and cord assembly,
lamp bulb, reflector bowl, shade,
and final. After you assemble the
lamp, you have an unusual Christ
mas gift for some lucky person or
an attractive addition to your
home.
If your lamp is shorter than IA
inches high, plan to make a dress
ing table lamp from it.
Remember, you can use old bot
ties, vases, candlesticks and even
blocks of wood to make lamps.
One lady used gourds.

Warm air ducts often accumul-
ate dust and fuzz which makes
them ideal feeding and hiding pla-
ces for the moths and beetles. Be-
fore the furnace is turned on for
the winter, gratings or other COW
ers over ducts should be removed,
the dust cleaned out, and spray
applied around the edges.
Choice food for these pests is
hair shed around the house by
house dogs or cats. Careful clean
ing and spraying under furniture,
around baseboards and in floor
cracks is recommended.
The many thousands of letters
to federal entomologists from
families whose possessions have
suffered moth or beetle damage
testify to the need of more under
standing as to the best methods OF
combating these pests and pre-
venting costly waste.

For IrreguIarify
Due To Lack of Bulk
i'm Your Diet
Try PETTyoHNs Breokfass PIun

Doctors say that regularity yeasily
keep you from feeling bright and chip
per-up to your real self for time.
Now here's natural food way to
combat this condition when due to
lack of bulk in your diet.
Try Petitions Breakfast Plan. Eat
delicious breakfast of the whole-grain
wheat cereal called Petitions every
day for one week.
PETITIONS is the favorful hot break
fast of whole wheat with all the bran
left in. And food experts say bran is a
wonderful regulator for those who suf-
fer from lack of bulk in their diet. So
eat Petitions whole grain cereal every
morning for week and see if your logy,
sluggish feeling doesn't disappear, and
you feel consequently much better,
with regularity restored.
What's more, natural grain nourish-
ment is important to everybody we'll
being. And Petitions is 1000 whole
wheat, rich in bodybuilding elements
like Vitamin Bi, Iron, and Phosphorus.

She smoothed down the skirt and went to

This appointment of R b b i
Ransom represents the browning
climax of twenty four months
record of good will activities con-
Quoted by him since he came to
this area from New Jersey, where
for eighteen years, as the spiritual
leader of the r e orm Jewish
Temple of the Oranges and
Maplewood, he conducted Chris
tian-Jewish good will projects
which were n 0 tie d throughout
the country, and in m any in
stances furnished the model for
similar activities in many other
communities. Temple Emanuel
of Fort Lauderdale and Holly
wood, DESTROYS of developing a
better understanding between
Christians and Jews, drafted"
Rabbi Ransom and challenged
him to sacrifice the advantages
of larger congregation in order
to make a contribution of his ex-
perience and ability in good will
relationships in this area of ten
sions, where they were so badly
needed.
Your correspondent has made
a survey of the influences which
DR.. Ransom has had in the growth
of the conscience of this COM
munity, and it is truly remarka-
BILE that one man, filled with en-
thusiasm, could have made such
an impact in so short period.
Meeting the community with
friendliness and a smile, yet
Withall, without ever compromi-
sing an iota of principle, he has
won over to the side of Christian
Jewish friendship, literally thou

intendent of schools, every child
in the school system was given a
book cover on which the imprint
of the stamp dedicated to the
four immortal chaplains was
printed. These bookcovers carried
the challenge to each child in
these words:
"You can do your share every
day in honoring these immortal
chaplains: if you hear anybody
talk against schoolmate or any,
body else because of his religion,
race or nationality, don't wait
tell him that kind of talk is
un-American! Help keep your
school all-American!"
Most far reaching possibly of
all the projects initiated by
Rabbi Ransom was his develop
ment of symbolic ceremony of
brotherhood with Rev. John H.
Hanger. On the Friday evening of
Channukah, which conceded with
the eve of Christmas, Rev. Hang
er came to the Temple and took
a light from the Channukah
candelabrum which Rabbi Ran
son kindled.
Later that evening, at the pre-
midnight Christmas service which
Rev. H anger conducted at his
church, all the lights were extin-
guished and each worshipper was
invited to come forward and to
kindle a small candle from the
blaze of the larger candle.
'"Take this candle with you,"
said Rev. Hanger to his congrega-
ton, land remember that as the
Light of Christ was taken from
the flame of Judaism in ancient
days, and as this flame in your
hand was originally kindled in
the Jewish Temple in our own
midst, so must there be the spirit

heart of Christian and of Jew to-
