AN ORDINARY MEMBER

Just an ordinary member
of the Church, | heard one
say, but you'd always find
him present when, even on a
rainy day. He had a hearty
hand clasp for the stranger
in the aisle, and a friend who
was in trouble, found sum
shine in his smile. When the
sermon helped him, he told
the preacher so. And when
he needed comfort, he let the
pastor know. His talents were
not many, but his love for
God is true. His prayers were
not in public, but he prayed
for you and me. And ordinary
member? | think that ! would
say. He was an extraordinary
member, in an humble sort
of way. = copied =

Time To Start Farming

Time To Start Farming
If you have not made plans
for farming this year time is
getting late. There are a mum.
Der of questions you should
ask yourself.
/. Is my equipment in good
shape?
2. Do | have enough labor?
3. Am | planting the recon-.
mended corn and cotton vari-
cites?
4. Should | go all out for
chemical weed control?
5. Shuld | Craze my oats or
remove the cattle and save
the grain or should | cut them
for hay?
There are lots of other
questions that you need to ask
yourself at this time to de,
termine which route you are
going to take.
The first thing l would like
to mention is cottn varieties.
There are a number of good
cotton varieties that can be
produced in our area. How
ever, 1 would just like to men,
ton four or five of the lead
varieties over the past few
years. All of these varieties
have done well throughout
the state: Stoneville 7, DPL
Smoothleaf, Stoneville 1902
and Fox 4. On land that has
a tendency to blight Auburn
Sc has done best as it seems
to be our best wilt cotton.
However, on land where wilt
or blight does not occur the
other varieties mentioned
above would probably be bet
ter to plant.
| WOULD like to urge every
farmer to seriously consider
pre-emerging their cotton at
planting time with karmex.
Pre-emerging is good insur-
ance in a wet year. If you do
not have available labor for
chopping it is absolutely
necessary to reduce cost of
production that you pre-
emerge yur cotton. You eli

inmate at least one hoeing.
BY hill dropping your cotton
you will save at least $3.50
worth of seed which will pay
most of the cost of your pre-
emerge and will eliminate
thinning your cotton at a
later date.
If you have not ever pre-
emerged before and would
like some help on setting up
your spray rig and calabrat-
ing your machine please call
my office for help if you
think you need it.

Experiments over a number
of years at State College in
dictate that early planting of
corn say in late March and
early April has produced
higher yields of corn than

is due mainly to available

Pine Seedlings

u IA
Land owners may purchase
pine seedlings for $1.00 per
thousand at this time. The
Forestry Commission has
millions of pine seedlings that
you may purchase for $1.00 if
interested in doing so. Nor
mally these trees would cost
you $4.35 per thousand. If you
have already bought trees
this year the forestry commits
sion will give you free of
charge an additional number
of seedlings totaling the num-
Der of trees you have already
purchased. 1t is still not too
late to set pine seedlings.

@. When lining a wool

two fabrics as one or make
each separately and then
join at the waistline?-Mrs.

the lining separately and

@. My daughter is 13 years
old and I can't seem to find
a pattern that fits. She has
a tiny waist but her hips are
much larger proportionately.
What is the answer?-Mrs.
H.F. -
A. Most teen-age girls have
this problem. Always buy a
skirt pattern to fit her hips.
Then take each dart in a lit
tie until the waistline fits.
If this doesn't do it, add an
extra dart so each individual
one is not too large.
In getting a dress pattern,
buy to fit the bodice and add
whatever is necessary to the
hips at each side seam. When
adding to the side seams.
continue adding almost the
same amount to the waist,
tapering as you cut towards
the waist. Then adjust the
darts to fit the waist as you
did on the skirt.
@. I'm fairly new at max
ing coats and wonder how to
determine the size PATTERN
I should buy. Do I buy the
same as dress size or should
it be larger to allow for bulky
fabric?-Miss V.P.
A. If the dress PATTERN
you have been using fits,
then buy the same size for
coats. Patterns for coats al
low for extra bulk Of fabric

The Upper enters the Space Age!

because the husband got his wife's
dress upper snagged when they we're
late for party.
The upper has proved conclusively
that everything that goes up does not
necessarily have to come down. Here,
set down for the first time, are the great
milestones ofzipper history which every
school child should know.
Aug. ~, 1898 An inventor named
Whitcomb L. Judson took out patent
on a locker or unlocker for auto
matically engaging or disengaging an
entire series of clasps by single
continuous movement"
Later that year this unsung pioneer
showed up with his only workable
sample at Chicago's Columbian EXPOSE
ton, presumably to induce the Fairs
famous Notwithstanding dancer, Little
Egypt, to introduce the fastener as a
rapid skirt-release. Fan-dancers have
played heroic role in the zipPer's
forward march. Only recently, for
instance, Gypsy Rose Lee received the
Conmar Upper Company's coveted an
nual award for signal service to nom
snag zippers.)
October, 1898 Col. Lewis Walker,
young corporation lawyer from Mead
vile, Pa, strolling through the EXPOSE
ton, saw Judson display the slide
fastener. Walker set up the Universal
Fastening Co. But Judson, most of
whose inventions had to do with street.
cars, was unable to keep his fastener
on the track.
Colonel Walker ultimately poured
million dollars into the venture. But

in which Stain stood by jealousy and
watched the US. Army put zippers on
everything from Eisenhower jackets to
jungle hammocks, sleeping bags, and
airplane flaps, the Soviet Union dis
mantled and shipped to Russia the fore
most upper factory in Germany.
Apr. II, 1859. In a speech at a
Ryazan collective farm, Prime Minister
Nikita Khrushchev declared that the
time had arrived to modernize the peas
ants traditional cotton-padded jacket
by replacing the buttons with zippers.
Later, the same year, Alexander Kon-
off, president of Conmar, made zip
per-reconnoitering trip to the Soviet
Union, but found Russians exhibited
only tepid interest in American upper
know-how. They refused to allow Kon-
off to tour a upper factory, but asked
him to leave photographs of American
zipper-manufacturing machinery be-
hind in Russia. He turned them down.
"lhe history of the Upper, as you
= will have observed, has had both
ups and downs. It's still having them.
In 1856 Admiral Arleigh Burke, chief
of naval operations, struck severe
blow to the industry by taking the Navy
back to the traditional l3-button fall
front trousers, replaced in 1913 by
zippered model. Navy spokesman report
arecent poll of Atlantic and Pacific feet
seamen showed vast majority favored
the return to buttons.
But if the Navy has given the upper
push down, Cape Canaveral has given
it yank upward - and how high the
upper may go into space is anybody's
guess. The sky isn't even the limit.
And in the rivalry with Soviet astro-
nauts, who knows but what the race
may be to the spacemen with the no
jam zippers? - The End

only one upper could be turned out
day. Judson's "closure" became a
foreclosure
June 9, 1905 Colonel Walkers
firm, now the Automatic Hook and
Eye Company, of Hoboken, N. j., tim
idly introduced something they called
the ''C-Curity" fastener to the Ameri-
can housewife. Their slogan, "A pull
and it's done" quickly changed to "A
pull and you're done" when housewives
all over America zippered up their own
