average productivity and the
number of acres diverted.
The minimum acreage for di-
version from corn or grain sor-
ghum or barley will be figured
from the farm base" which is
determined from the average
acreage on the farm used in
producing the crop in 1880.
The minimum reduction is 20ft
of the base. The maximum de-
pends upon the size of the farm
base.
Farmers who are interested in
participating in the 1862 feed

Program Offers
Payments for
Crop Diversion

Producers who participate in
the 1862 Feed Grain Program
are entitled to payments for
diverting acreage from produc-
ton of corn and grain sorghum,
according to R. Harry Wilson,
chairman, Kent County Agricul-
tural Stabilization and Conser-
vation Committee. Up to half
of the estimated payment to be
earned may be paid in advance
to the producer who signs up
under the program.
Chairman Wilson said this
program provisions would be of
substantial benefit to growers

cause any yourself. The object
of defensive driving" is to
drive without having an acci-
dent. This requires, Ashton ex-
planned, a constant alertness for
the illegal acts and driving err
ors of other drivers and the will
ingness to make quick adjust
ments to avoid accidents. The
defensive driver does not eX-
pect all other drivers to behave
according to the rules or to res
pond to a situation exactly as
he would. He is prepared for
reckless, illegal and clumsy be-
havior on the part of some 9th
er drivers" Another important
quality of defensive driving, the
safety official said, is the abil-
ity to adjust to the special haz-
ards presented by unusual or
changing conditions in the type
of road surface he is encounter
ing, or to unusual or changing
conditions of weather, the
amount of light, and the kind
of traffic on the road. Similarly
a defensive driver is able to ad-
just his driving to the special
hazards presented by unusual
conditions of his state of mind
If he is worried about personal
problems, he does not let that
worry lead to inattention in

Tips on Care of
Vacuum Listed
By Specialist

Do you still cling to the old
dust mop and broom while your
vacuum cleaner lies tucked
away with all its valuable at
tachments, asks Miss Patricia
Middleton, home management
specialist, University of Della
ware. Do you still use your
cleaner for rug cleaning only?
Earlier models were designed
mostly for carpet cleaning, but
new ones on the market can do
all kinds of work-dust furni-
ture, especially carved sections,
clean upholstery and get the
cobwebs off the wall.
Handy holders on the market
which can be attached to the
closet door can make it easier
to reach equipment.
When you are checking on
your storage, check yourself on
how well you are using and
caring for your cleaner. Miss
Middleton suggests the follow
ing tips for the care of your
vacuum cleaner:
Always pick up pins, other
metal objects, large pieces of
paper, string or cloth before
starting the cleaner. They may
damage the main blade belt or
hose.
Check to see that the clean
er switch is off before you plug
in the cord. Otherwise, plug
prongs may be eroded by the
tiny electric arcs when plug
ging in the equipment.
Always pull on the plug;
never the cord. Never run the
cleaner over the cord. Never
kink, twist, stretch or wind the
cord too tight around the fast
enerS.
Repair or replace a frayed
cord-it is a fire hazard. Make
sure the new cord is the correct
size and type,
Push cleaner at a regular
speed. Usually the slower you
operate the upright type, the
better job it will do. The tank
cleaner may be more efficient
with short, quick strokes. Don't
skimp on total cleaner time.
Be sure the nozzle on the
upright cleaner is at the cor
rect height above the rug pile.
Manufacturers instructions will
give directions.
Empty the bag or dirt con-
tainer before storing the clean
er (unIess it has disposable
bag.) Clean hairs and thread
from brush bristles. The sue
ton tube can be used for this
job.
If suction seems to be weak
on your upright cleaner check;
(a) The bag-it may be full OF
dirt. Occasionally cloth bag
should be turned inside out and
given a good brushing. (b)The
brush-it may need cleaning or
it may need replacing. (c) The
belt-it should be tight enough
to turn the brush roll with
even, continuous speed while
nozzle is in contact with the
rug. Even good belts will last
only so long and need replacing.
If suction seems to get
weak on your tank cleaner,
check hose, goose neck, and ex-
tension wand. They may be
stopped up. Generally, they can
be cleaned by putting the hose
on the blower end, holding the
nozzle into the suction end, and
shaking hose while the motor is
running. Loss of suction will
cause the motor to overhead,
SO act promptly.
Have your cleaner checked
Smyrna times., 1962-03-15

by competent man if motor is
sluggish or sparkling occurs.
Store cleaner in a cool, dry
place to prevent rusting or slow
deterioration of rubber parts,
Store cleaner in a convenient
place.

driving, Ashton explained, be-
cause it is known that worry
is an accident producing fac
tor. He said defense drivers are
familiar with the rules of right
of way, and are willing to yield
the right of way to others to
avoid accidents.

lar. and the decorative de-
tails used on jackets and
skirts.
Interfacing an Undercol-
lar Figure u:
/. Pin the collar interfac-
ing to the wrong side of the
undercollar along the neck
edge. Now, make a sharp fold
with your fingers along the
crease line. This is the line
where your collar will roll
after it's attached to the
jacket. Make a row of back
stitches along the crease line,
catching both the undercol-
lar and the interfacing.
2. The section below this
crease line must be padded
to prevent the neck edge
from stretching. Do this with
crosSwise rows of tailor's
basting (or padding stitches)
from the crease line to the
seam allowance of the neck
edge and between the shoul-
der seam marks. This is
shown in the top section of
the diagram. You'll find this
easier to do if you roll the
collar and interfacing over
your finger as you sew, so
that the interfacing can
stretch as much as necessary.
3. Pad the rest of the COL
lar outside the crease line.
This time, make stitches in
lengthwise rows between
crease line and seam allow
ance. Stitches must go in
this direction because, to set
properly. the outer edge of
the collar must stretch cross
wise.
4. Trim off the full seam
allowance of the interfacing
on all four edges.
Arrowhead Tack Figure
p: The arrowhead tack is
used to secure and decorate
ends of pleats, darts, corners,
pockets, etc. 1t is especially
good for holding pleatS in
place.
With chalk, mark a tri-
angle in the proper position.
Bring your needle up through
the lower left hand corner
(A) with the knot on the
wrong side. Bring the needle
to the top point (B) and take
a tiny stitch across the point,
from right to left so that the
needle remains on the right
side of the fabric. Now bring
the needle down to the lower
right corner (C), pass the
needle through to the wrong
side and then back up
through point A. Continue
doing this until the triangle
is completed. being sure to
keep the stitches close to-
gether and always bringing
the needle from right to left.
Bar Tack Figure 81: The
bar tack is excellent for
strengthening corners and
securing open ends. 1t is used
frequently on the pockets of
tailored suits.
Make several stitches
through the fabric across
the end of the opening. With
a small overland stitch, sew
over and over these threads,
catching in just a few threads
of fabric underneath and
with the needle always going
from right to left. Do this
