Hints To
H0MEMAKERS
CURTAINT AND CURTAIN
FABRICS

FABRICS
If the homemaker who goes
shopping for curtain fabrics is
well acquainted with facts about
shrinkage and colorfastness, she
will get more for her money in
value and in satisfaction, say
textile specialists.
In deciding how much yardage
she will need, the shopper should
figure on at least 100 per cent
fullness in width, if the curtains
are not to be skinny. In other
words, for attractive curtains,
specialists suggest that the fab.
ric be twice as wide as the space
to be covered.
Curtain-buyers should also
make allowance for lengthwise
shrinkage, too. If there is no label
on the curtain or fabric stating
whether it is pre-shrunk, the al

When selecting colored mater.
ial, the buyer will do well to look
for a label carrying specific in
formation about colorfastness.
Such labels as "colorfast to wash.
ing" or "colorfast to dry clean
ing" are of course more helpful
than "colorfast."
If she is looking for material
in a store which will lend SAM

Electrician Dies
In Contact With
High Voltage Wires

Hal Afford, SO, a Wilmington
electrician, was fatally injured
in Whiteville last Tuesday about
3 o'clock when he came in contact
with a 4,0OO-volt power line just
east of Golfers Gas Company.
He died three hours later in
Columbus County Hospital where
he was carried Immediately after
the accident.
Afford, a veteran lineman, was
working on a pole which holds
two 19,000-volt lines in addition
to the one which transmits the f.
1000 volts. In some manner, his
face came in contact with the hot
wire.
Percy Grice, another lineman,
observed the electricians predica.
ment, taking note of the fact
that the 4,OOO-volt line was keep
ing Affords cheek pulled against
it. He hurriedly put on his rub
Der gloves and slapped the vic
TINS feet from the cross bar.
Afford fell 80 feet to the brassy
field below.
Grice said he had only a second
to think and did not know that
Affords safety belt was unfasten-
ed. He added, however, that he
would have pushed him away
from the wire even if he had
known of the unfastened belt
Apparently, Affords fall had no.
thing to do with his death.
He never regained conscious
ness.

The spring suit and dress will
have a skirt that is either %
moulded to slimness in front and
fullish at the rear, or (2) mould

The slim-front-full-back skirt, in
troduced by Christian Dior in his
Paris collection for winter, will
undoubtedly be the high-style look
when the spring collections are
shown in January.
The back-fullness will come from
impressed pleats or darts at the
hipline, or softly gathered folds
at the waist. These skirts will be
worn without crinolines - but
many will be lined to assure their
shape.

WuIfure State Robbinq Youth
By M EXERT ALLEN

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)- On October Is, 1 spent "a day with
a workshop in the field Of guidance for youth during this period OF
uncertainty in a changing world. Children identified with minority
groups in or American way Of life are beset with certain handicaps
from the earliest years in both school and society. The Illustrations
seen and heard of in the home tend to set them on edge. A father
is doomed to remain in a blind alley job because of the policy of
his firm not to upgrade Negroes. A mother has to be contended with
domestic duties as a means Of supplementng the famiys budget be-
cause of the difficulty in securing placement in an industry for which
she has certain aptitudes and abilities.
Arriving at the latter years of his elementary training, little
Johnny begins to doubt his opportunities for achieving his occupa-
tons by both parents and guidance instructors. He is told that there
is no chance for employment in some selective area of work. The
unions will not open their doors to him and some firms will not use
certain ethnic groups in many occupations. Therefore Johnny selects
one of the common professions or basic skils open to him. In many
instances, he is fit for neither classification and after a short period
in a technical institution, drops out to become a misfit in society.
Another danger affecting his future stems from the over srech-
ed that in this age, the Welfare State exists, solely to provide him
with the necessities of life. Our young lad assumes that the day Of
fierce competition is over. No longer is it necessary to burn the mid
night oil in preparation for the task which lie ahead. He sees the re-
gular check coming from the Department of Welfare. He knows that
those over seventy in the family are the recipients of old age pen
sions. He has heard Of the benefits of Social Security. These social
reforms, designed to help those who cannot help themselves, be-
centive.

WILD DAT FARM, Pennington,
N. j., Oct. % (INS)- l don't
know whether it's the country air
or whether I just naturally lack
a decent interest in public affairs.
But l gotta come clean: The
suspense amt killing, me over who

Billy Boy, himself.
| am passably interested in the
fact that the said gems are mea-

what happens in this latterday war

sparklers to assuage the grief of
either the party of the first part

leave me make a clean breast of

Paris predicts that buttons ana

For daytime, the buttons can be

For evening, they can be vel

A smart novelty-button maker

a woman may cover buttons witt
fabric at the flick of a finger.
It's a metal button Cor buckle
with teenth on the reverse side
and a button base into which the
top of the button can be snapped.
A woman need only cut out a
circle of fabric, wrap it around the
button, anchoring it in the teeth
on the reverse side and snap the
