Handle Infrared
Lamps Carefully

Farmers who use infrared lamps
for heating pig or chicken brooders
or milking parlors need to exer-
else caution, depending on the type
of bulb they use. says County A
gent VIM. II. Henderson.
The 250-watt R40 bulb is the most
commonly used infrared heat lamp
on farms. These bulbs come in two
types of glass-ordinary white or
soft glass and hard or Pyrex glass.
Because they are cheaper. many
farmers buy the regular or soft
glass bulb which breaks more eaSi-
ly. the agent explains. These soft
glass lamps can be broken by a
sow's nose, wet glove. water
dropping from a roof. or chicken
droppings.
Precautions. as follows. should
be taken to protect soft glass from
breakage as well as to assure most
satisfactory service:
L. Hang lamps by light chain
or wire so that they cannot fall.
2. Protect bulbs with deep re-
Electors so that they cannot come
in contact with water or other
materials which break them.
3. Suspend lamps at height
where livestock being brooded can
not reach them.
T. Use porcelain sockets or lamp
holders rather than those made of
brass.
5. Use rubber covered cords to
connect brooder lamps and tape
any excess cord up out of the reach
of livestock.
6. Connect no more than six $50
watt bulbs on a Is ampere circuit.

COURTESY CAN SAVE LIVES

Some of the accidents that occur on high
ways could be avoided by the exercise of
good manners on the part of the drivers in
volved.
The rush to beat other vehicles to the
start and to get ahead in a traffic jam often
leads cultured people to take advantage of
other drivers in a manner that does not re-
fleet proper consideration for others, even in
modern traffic snarls.
We think drivers should always bear in
mind the possibility that others, like them
selves, miscaluate speed and other factors,
and sometimes get in jam through mental
error. If we would make an allowance for
this possibility, we could definitely add to the
safety of the highways.
Too often, in driving along the open road,
one meets an approaching vehicle which, in
passing another proceeding in the same di-
,rection, comes dangerously close to causing
collision. 1t is probably natural to "say
something about such driving without re-
membering similar occasions when, through
an error in judgment, we have done the same
thing.
Common everyday courtesy is a good
thing for everyday living, and it produces
the same desirable results when put into
practice while behind the wheel.

BIPARTISAN COURTS

President Kennedy has more federal
judges to name than any earlier chief exec
utive. Thanks to an expected considerable
increase in judgeships, from 10 to 120 ju-
dicial appointments may be made in hIr. Ken
nedy's first year of Office Bernard G. Segal,
committee chairman of the American Bar
Association, thinks this "a rare opportunity
to make this banner year."
Never previously have 100 federal Judges
been picked in a single year, and not many
presidents have had 100 such appointments,
even during a four-year term. President Els
enhower chose 186 judges in eight years
Seventy judges are now eligible for retire
ment, and the average death roll each year
is 20.
President Kennedy can thus raise the
quality of the federal bench. He also is stra-
tegically situated for keeping the courts on
bipartisan basis. In the days before Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt the judges were mainly Re-
publican. The 20 Democratic years that fol-
lowed left the judges 81 per cent Democrat
ic; consequently Eisenhower had an excuse
for choosing hardly any Democrats.
Traditionally presidents of both parties
ly even on the Supreme Court Thus Presi-
dent Eisenhowers choice of William ]. Bren-
nan. a New Jersey Democrat, left the court
with five Democrats and four Republicans.
This roughly even ratio should prevail in
the lower courts. With the parties now
equally balanced, President Kennedy and his
successors have fine opportunity to keep
things so.

EDUCATIONAL EXEMPTIONS

The cost of a college education is often
staggering these days and many couples are
beset by the problem of having two or three
children in college at the same time. This
makes for some thrilling days in mathemat-
les.
Since the United States wants to do ev-
education of its young citizens, it would
Seem that best free enterprise system boost
which could be afforded education would be
monies parents use in educating their chill
dren.
This would enable more children to go to
college, and bring in more revenue at the var
iouS college and universities 1t would prob
ably enable many struggling colleges and
universities to raise tuition charges enough
to strengthen their presenty-precarious f.
nancial condition.
1t would do much for education and the
country's future and alleviate an acute pinch
which grips so many parents who strive to
pay the rising costs of college education.
If money used to send Junior to college
was exempt from income tax, the saving
would amount to several hundred dollars for
every child in school, or more, depending
upon the bracket of the taxpayer 1t could
amount to over thousand dollars for many
parents.
The loss in revenue could be charged off
to tederal-air-t education, via the free en-
terprise system from Washington. The plan
certainly contains important merits and
should be pushed by every agreeing legiSla-
tor in the 87th Congress.

all forgot to cut it out. We
can't find a cushion in any
Of the stores in our town.

Mrs. j. B.
A. Cut two pieces OF firm
muslin or sheeting, following
the measurements in the il
lustration. Stitch the pieces
together around the edge and
leave a 4-inch opening at the
top Turn it inside out and
stuff it with clean sand or

@. I haven't been sewing
long and frankly don't know
all of the intricacies of a
sewing machine. So often I'm
told to make the pressure
lighter or heavier for certain
fabrics. Where on the ma
chine do you do this and how
is it done?
tte Miss T. B.
A. The pressure is adjusted
by turning the thumb screw.
1t Is located at the top of the
presser bar. 1t is a large
screw that is not as far into
the machine as the other
screws. To regulate. turn
screw so it comes up out of
the machine if you want the
pressure to be lighter. To
make pressure heavier, turn
screw so that it winds back
into the machine.

@. I have several patterns
I intend to sew in summer
cottons, but none Of them has
one for a matching stole.
Please tell me the average
length and width Of a stole
and the best fabric for lining.
Also, any hints on how to
make it will be appreciated.
Miss r. S.
A. The straight stole is the
simplest type to make and
requires no pattern. If your
stole is to be Of cotton, then
the lining should be Of the
same fabric or a contrasting
color in cotton. Cut two pieces
"a inches long (21s yds.) and
10 inches wide. Place right
sides together and stitch
around all four sides "a inch
from the edge, leaving an
opening on one long side to
turn. Turn to the right side,

closed. Your stole is made!

@. There is a group of us
that sew and we all have one
problem in common. How can
you select thread so that it
matches the fabric? 1t in
variably looks lighter when
stitched, whereas it seems to
match perfectly when on the
spool.-Mrs. L. T.
A. This is a common prob
lem. Don't buy your thread
to match fabric perfectly, but
select a color that looks one
shade darker than your fab
ric. When you unwind the
thread, the single strand will
blend perfectly.
