Good Reading Is
Recommended Bv
Mrs. Geo. Brown
BY MRS. GEORGE BROWN

Have you read Beauty in the
Heart" by Archibald Rutledge. II
not, then do read it soon. DR.
Rutledge is South Cardinals Poet
Laureate as well as being the
author of fifty-five books. He has
written poetry and stories for The
Progressive Farmer for many
years. The collection of little
stories that make up Beauty In
The Heart" are true stories about
people and natures. They show us
that there is beauty all around
us if only we look for it: they
bring us comfort and hope.
Do you like ghost stories? If
you do then you must read "Tar
Heel Ghosts" by John Harden.
These are stories from every part
of North Carolina. Some of them
. have been handed from genera
ton to generation. There are all
kinds of ghosts, noisy ones, quiet
ones, headless ones, and even the
Little Red Man of Winston
Salem"
Good Morning, Miss Dove" is
an eaSy-to-read book that you
will enjoy. It's author is Frances
Gray Patton. Miss Dove is a
School-teacher and if you have
passed your forties she will re-
mind you of one of the teachers
of your childhood. I know, be-
cause while I was reading it I
kept remembering teachers I
studied under, and I wished with
all my heart that I could tell
them how much I owe to them.
"A Man Called Peter" by Cath
crime Marshall is now being
shown as picture in Charlotte.
We hope it will soon be in Lin
colnton. If you have read the
book, you will certainly want to
see the picture. If you haven't t
read it, maybe you can do SO now.
At any rate, do plan to see the

WASH SWEATERS?

Has anyone found the solu-
tion to washing orion sweaters
without having them become
''nubby"? I have washed mine
about 6 times and they get full
Of little knots, or nubs. Is there
a special method or product
that could eliminate this? I
hate to have them dry cleaned,
since there goes all the So
called advantages of the SYM
thetic fibers-ease of launder-
ing!
Someone recently asked the
advantage of a chest-type
freezer versus upright freezers.
We recently bought an upright
for several reasons. I have no
heavy baskets to lift out when
I need something from the
bottom. I can stack things
more easily and reach every
thing. Each shelf is quick
freezing, as against only the
sides and bottom Of a chest.
And last, but best Of all, I have
shelves on the door for juice
and small items. Also the door
is quick freezing.

WATER HEATER.

(Mrs. E. H. T., Nepinoton, VaJ
To Mrs. P. M. T., Fort Bel
voir, about a water heater. !
am sorry to say that the an
sfer is NO-a 52-gallon hot
water heater will not be large
enough for a family with 3
children and will be very ex-
pensive to operate. We are in
Virginia also and have ours
on a clock on what the electric
company calls an "off peak
load clock" We have found
that taking 2 showers in the
morning. washing dishes. and
one washer of clothes leaves
us with no hot water. It takes
a cold tank of this size 2 to
8 hours to- heat. So you cannot
plan on having hot water until
4 in the afternoon. Then with
dinner dishes and 3 tub baths,
we are again without hot water
until l am, which I don't feel
inclined to sit up for. In spite
of this daily aggravation of
insufficient hot water, the
electric bill still runs quite
high. We once had it taken
off the clock meter, and put
on a straight meter, and had
enough hot water, but the bill
shot up considerably. so we
had it put back on the clock
meter.

a very restless child and is all
over the crib when she sleeps.
We would appreciate hearing
how other parents have han
