can start you off with some pos
sessions for a pittance. Ladders,
saws, power tools and large kitch-
en- appliances often may be bought
for a small investment.
If you stick to basic home fur
nishings when bidding, you'll do
we'll at an auction. Tables, chairs,
lamps of recent vintage usually
bring small prices and these may
see you to the day when you can
afford something better, or per-
haps they will be good enough to
become permanent fixtures in your
home.
Neophytes should not bid on an
tiques of fine furnishings, how
ever. Even experts can be fooled.
A common practice at many auc-
tions today is to introduce beau
tiful objects that look old, but are
contemporary made from the old
molds or by cheap labor abroad.
Scrupulous dealers are fooled by
these objects. They buy them, and
sell them for little more than the
purchase price perhaps. but IHe
same objects available in shops
and variety stores sell for frac-
tion of the auction price.
Turning up at auction after auc-
ton are silver-plated nickel trays
and coffee services being passed
off as old Sheffield, small wine
glasses with satin glass figures

cred table cloths and dinner nap

kins. Dresden ware and Bohemian
painted plates. Staffordshire is so
faithfully reproduced, particularly
the pOodles, even to their copper
luster collars, that they are diff
cult to distinguish from the real
thing. INSCRIPTIONS manufactur-
ers can give them appropriate ag-
ed appearances that can even fool
dealers. Very little old Delft is
available, yet at every auction one
sees collectors acquiring more
Delft that is nothing more than
modern chirfaware.
1t is best to leave purchases of
this kind to the experts. Concen-
trate on what you really need for
your home.
Power tools should be inspected
carefully. Very often these have
outlived their usefulness before
they are put up for sale. Other
tools should be examined for rust.
If you plan to bid on rug, in
spect it beforehand. A beautiful
rug that is going at a bargain
could have a large hole not visible
on the auctiOneer's block So
could table cloths and napkins. An
upholstered chair or divan with a
loose leg or minus stuffing or with
a great many repairs required will
not be bargain.
Small tables are good buys at
especially now when the
painted end table and coffee table
is in vogue.

Kent Home Doings
Feed Junior Iron


If junior is ready for solid food.
he's ready for IRON" according to
Florence Y. Smith, county home
demonstration agent. She says iron
should be in the first solid food
because it is an important element
of blood. BY the time the infant
reaches six months, or before, he
has used -the iron he had in his
body at birth. and therefore needs a
food source of iron.
Egg yolk is a good source of
iron. 1t can be hard boiled, mash
ed, and mixed with some of the
formula or given as a soft custard
made with one egg yolk and one
fourth to one-third cup of milk.
Egg white should not be used for
young infants, Mrs. Smith says. 1t
may produce allergy to egg white
unless every particle is thoroughly
cooked.
Other good sources of iron are
sieved meats and pinto beans. The
beans should be sieved or mashed
with a fork after the skins are re-
moved, she said. Cereals especial
ly prepared for infants usually have
iron added too.

Delaware milk producers, at a
protest meeting held in the Lewes
Dairy, Jan. IA, gave overwhelming
support to the campaign aimed at
removing the Eastern Shore of Del
aware from provisions of the new
federal milk marketing order.
The order, due to go into effect
Feb. 1, will mean less income for
the farmer and higher price to
the public, w. Weldon Brittingham
pointed out in. crticizing the fed
eral plan by which the Delaware
milk output would come under the
Baltimore area controls established
by the order. He also said some
milk shippers may be forced out of
business.
To date about so farmers pro-
ducing milk in the DelaWare area
have signed affidavits outlining
their opposition to the federal or
der and hope to obtain a confer
ence with Secretary of Agricul-
ture Ezra Taft Benson to formally
register their objections and ex-
plain how they and the public
will be damaged" by order.
The Delaware dairyman, Mr..
Brittingham pointed out, not only
will be restricted to marketing pro-
cedure but also will be forced to
contribute, either directly or in
