San Francisco
Dear P. D.:
My wife wants to know who
the other two people are who
sent you Christmas cards. Says
she wants to start a P. D. East
fan club.
BY the way, when you free a
mans mind to the point where,
when you put something into it,
that something is not colored by
preconceived ideas - don't
know what you would have, but
it wouldn't be much of mind
more like an antiseptic garbage
pail.
Besides, the ideas YOU put
into it would inevitably color
any subsequent ideas introduced
SO, though the coloring may be
more to your taste, the mind
would be in much the same con-
dition as when you objected to
the quality of its preconceptions.
Seems to me we gotta evaluate
new ideas against our precon-
ceptions and adopt or discard
accordingly.
Regards
Orrin F. Alfred
please. friend. let's keep this
thing simple. And tell Mrs.
Alfred that a fan club would be
an easy matter - so few names
to keep up with. p. D. buttons
are available on request: order

All CLUB NEWS"

With the reopening Of schools, the Al Club Program got
underway once again during the third week in September.
This year, with the consolidation of three of our rural
schools into the new rural elementary school at Kingshill, the
club formed at this new school is comprised of many former
members of the old Peters Rest, Slob, and Diamond Al
Clubs, and over forty other boys and girls who will be taking
All Club work for the first time.
At present there are about IS members at the Klngshil
Club. By unanimous vote the members decided to call this
club the which was the name of the three
year consecutive winning club at the old Slob rural school.
AS customary, the club at the La Vallee school has also
been reorganized.
This year the All Club Program has been extended to two
other schools: ~ the Benjamin Franklin School in the Coral
Bay area of ST. John, and () the Chrshansted Junior High
School. The Junior High School Club will enable 9TH and 9Th
graders to continue with home and farm projects without a
break between rural school and vocational training in Senior
High School. At the Christiansted High School there are over
100 boys and girls who have signed up for club work this
year. The highlight Of All ClubNorganization this school year
is the forming of a club at Coral Bay. st. John.
The Extension AGENTS orgsnized this club on !, recent
trip to that island in connection with All Club activities
adult work in Farm and Home Extension activities.
1T is anticipated that similar clubs will be formed some
time in the near future at the Cruz Bay School and two of the
rural schools on St. Thomas which are interested in Al Club
work.

HOME FURNISHINGS

Trends come and go in home
furnishings, but one sure trend
has developed SO steadily over
the last decade or so that it's
now a fact: Our homes are no
longer "color blind"
There's at least one obvious
reason for this color-conscious-
ness. Our homes are now lighted
to best advantage because of the
modern construction and heat
ing. Numerous windows in older
homes would have been uncom-
Portable, and the expanses of
glass used in newest construc-
tons would have been impos-
sible.
In a gloomy Victorian parlor,
for example, the carpet might be
almost any color, because it was
not eel to full advantage any,
way. But now that our homes
Ire planned for light, colors do
count.
In fact, as color schemes for
our homes get more interesting,

CHARLEY CREEK SNAPPERS

The 18th meeting f the Char
ley Creek Snoappers was held at
the George Fisher home Friday
evening Aug. 8. The meeting was
called to order by President Joe
Fisher. Pledges were said and
roll call was taken with every
one present. Entry blanks were
filled in for the things we were
taking to the Fair and talked
about the mand and all being
there for the parade. Leader Yer
ia Fisher showed her kit she has
fixed for first aid in case of n
air raid. The boys had their les
son on tractor repair and Karen
Huffatto, Carol Fisher and Jean
Candee gave a demonstration of
making a custard. They worked
on our books to bring them up
to date and the meeting was ad-
journed. Lunch was served by
Mrs. Fisher.

WASH AND WEAR FABRICS

New WaSh-and-Wear fabrics
have their advantages - but
they may present problems to the
home sewer. Some of the char
acteristics which make them
wash-and-wear may necessitate a
few changes in pattern choice
and sewing methods. For a fabric
with crease-retention properties,
you'll need to press seams and
hens with caution. Be sure you
have the seam exactly as you
want it before stitching and
pressing. Creases, once put in,
and heat-set, may be impossible
to remove.
Many of the wash-and-wear
fabrics are difficult to mold or
reshape - extra fitness in a
set-in sleeve cannot be easily
manipulated to fit the space
smoothly. 1 suggest that for the
first garment made from wash
and-wear fabrics, you choose a
pattern with the simplest lines
and fewest pieces possible. For
instance, you might want to
choose a pattern with a sleeve
that is cut together with the

FOOD HABITS

Most Of us are anxious about
the food our children eat. Just
being anxious" is not the way
to build good eating habits. Here
are some suggestions for starting
these habits.
For one thing, it's best not to
say too much about a new food
or any specific food; avoid men
tioning food dislikes. We often
discuss foods in a way that chill
dren pick up our dislikes and
never realize it.
When you introduce new foods,
make it early in life and in small
quantities. One small teaspoonful
is a good rule for a first serving.
Introduce variety by serving a
favorite food in different ways.
And be sure to have that food
well prepared. The taste for
plain wholesome food, simply
prepared, is a valuable safeguard
of modern nutrition.
A pleasant atmosphere is prob
ably even more important than
the food itself. Conversations that
everyone can take part in will
mean better eating. Emotional
upsets can retard the flow of di-
gestive juices and make eating
difficult. We need to remember
that meal time isn't the best time
to discuss discipline. If a child
is eating one new type of food
each month during the first year
of life. much has been accomp-
lished toward good eating.
Avoid saying "Just take one
bite" Put a small amount on the
child's plate and give it to him
while he is hungry, then avoid
mentioning it. If you encourage
a child to take just one bite, he
may oblige you by doing just
that.

COTTON KNITS

w AAlNA1O
Cotton knits are popular even
into the fall. When you're shop
ping, remember that nearly all
cotton knits shrink some. It may
be better to buy these favorites
In a size or two larger than re-
CURED for other types Of fab
RIGS, especially if they are to be
machine-washed and tumbled dry.
If you've had the problem
with T-shirts not only shrinking
but stretching-a shortening and
widening process-this is due to
the structure of the fabric before
it is made into a garment.
Some cotton knits are stretch
ed and pulled as they are manu-
featured. The tiny knit loops in
the fabric are pulled long and
thin. After this fabric has been
made into a garment and the gar
ment has been Numbered, the
stretching or widening effect oc-
ours.
All cotton knit fabrics are not
streached as they are finished.
The tiny knit loops in these fab
RIGS are normally round and
plump and remain relaxed. When
shopping you can tell one type
Of fabric from the other by close
ly examining the loops. Stretch
the fabric slightly against a light
background and examine the
loops - avoid the long, thin ones
and you avoid those garments
that lose shape.

APPLICANTS CAN SPEED
SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS

Persons who apply for social
security retirement benefits can
help speed up the payment Of
these benefits if they bring GER
tain records with. them when
they file application according to
Chester v. Buchanan, representa-
tive of the Billings office.
The applicant should, of course,
have his social security card
with him, but in addition, the
card of any other member of
the family for whom claim will
be filed.
Information about employment
or self-employment in the last
IL months is always necessary.
Considerable time can be saved
in completing the claim if the APP
plicant can furnish a statement
of his earnings in the present
year, and if employed, a copy of
his VIZ for last year. If self
employed, he should present a
copy of his last tax return and
evidence of payment of the o
cial security tax, in the form of
a cancelled check or money or
der receipt. Because it may take
some applicants several weeks to
obtain proof of age, they should
begin action on this well in adj
vance, Buchanan said. Generally,
the rule here is that the older
the record, the better the proof.
All original record made at or
soon after the time of birth, pref
erably a public record, is best OF
all. Where that cannot be OBJ
tanned, an old, unaltered family
Bible record written in ink may
be satisfactory. Other records
which can be considered are an
old census record, a World War
/ draft record dhe social security
representative can give informa-
ton about obtaining these), a
marriage or voting record or an
insurance policy. Any one of
these records, especially if it is
more than 10 or Is years old,
may be sufficient, but sometimes
a conflict in evidence makes it
necessary to furnish two or more
of these proofs.

blouse, rather than a separate
piece.
Facings, trimmings, inter-lin-
ings - all must have the same
washing characteristics as the
garment. Stitch and tension con-
trolls must be carefully adjusted
to the fabric. Use a double piece
of material and stitch on the
grainlines that will be used in
completing your garment - to
be sure that stitches will not
pucker or break under slight
strain. Make sure materials and
techniques will meet wash-and-
wear tests - avoid later pucker-
ing and twisting that will mean
unsatisfactory wear and appear
auce.
