Take Special Care of
Electric Cords

To keep electric cords in good
condition, Miss Charlotte L.
Swanson, county home demon
stration agent, makes the follow
ing suggestions:
When not in use, store cords in
a clean, dry, cool place. A perm
anently attached cord can be
loosely wrapped around the ap-
pliance. Be sure cords are free
of kinks, knots, or sharp bends
which break fine wires or insu-
lated covering. Cord may be
hung over large, round wooden
pegs, or over two or more hooks.
They can also be coiled loosely on
a shelf or in a drawer.
When disconnecting a cord, ex-
plains Miss Swanson, remove 1t
from the wall outlet first. Grasp
the plug and pull straight out. If
it sticks, rock the plug gently
from side to side as you pull, tc
loosen one connection at a time

Vinegar Eliminates Static
Electricity in synthetic Fibers

Electricity in Synthetic Fibers
You may have noticed that
your nylon curtains turn greyish
quickly, or that your plastic up
holstery seems to b a constant
dust catcher.
The reason is that friction
causes static electricity in most
synthetic fibers, explains Miss
Charlotte L. Swanson, county
home demonstration agent. This
charge is slightly negative, she
says, whereas the dust has a pos
itive charge. Thus, dust stirred
up in a room is attracted to your
nylon curtains or your plastic
upholstery, just as iron filings go
to a magnet.
When nylon curtains first come
on the market, it was not at all
unusual that they turned grey
and dingy looking from dust after
hanging in store displays for a
very short period of time. Most
manufacturers of synthetic fibers
have solved this problem by using
a permanent anti-static finish.
You can easily correct the dust
catching in your home by adding
a few drops of vinegar to th'
rinse water when washing you

Report To Parents
DIR, Martha Nj. Eliot
Chief, Children's Bureau

Perhaps parents have lost
touch with their children.
Many people and many organi-
cations have wondered-publicly
and privately-about the seeming
responsibility of some of our
young people particularly since
the excitement of the thrill
chasers seems to have a contagi-
GUS quality, a way of spreading
to youngsters heretofore marked
by the most decorous conduct.
The quotation above is not
from an organization, it is that of
a newspaper, the Jackson (Michi-
GAM Citizen Patriot, which was
worried about the increasing
number of highway accidents
traced to teenage hot rod drivers.
The paper came up with a sug-
gestion for "a looseknit organiza-
ton to be called Parents, Inc".
which would sponsor dances, hot
dog roasts, picnics and other acti-
vities for teenagers.
This was not offered as a cure
all for juvenile delinquency, but
the editorial. pointed out that
mothers and fathers working with
their children, to help them dis
cover the fun, thrills and enter
tainment they are evidently not
finding now might well channel
much of this hunger into less
dangerous outlets.
The day after the publication
Of the editorial, the mayor of
Jackson announced q public meet
ing Of parents. Three hundred and
fifty showed up. A twenty-five
man executive committee was
formed. The name Parents, Inc.
was adopted and the group swung
into action under the chairman
ship of a corner druggist (who
was, in fact, the proprietor of 8
drug store teenage hangouts as
well as the father of 16-year-old
twins and 2 other children).
That was fifteen months ago
since that April day when the
group was formed, events and
projects, have moved swiftly.
The operators of Ella Sharp
Park offered the use of a build

named The Sky Club. The city
