HINTS ON THE CARE
OF YOUR
Your electric vacuum cleaner speeds up houseclean-
ing and helps prolong the life of rugs, draperies and
upholstered furniture. It will serve you better and
last longer if you follow these suggestions:
Empty dust bag every time cleaner is used. Dirt in
the bag reduces power of suction.
Keep brushes free from lint and hair. Replace
brushes if tufts become worn.
Avoid running cleaner ®ver pins, nails, coins or
other metal objects. Pick them up by hand.
Clean brushes, wipe off other attachments after
using.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions as to cleaning
* and oiling. Consult dealer from whom you pur-
chased cleaner if you have lost instructions.
Vacuum rugs frequently. It removes embedded grit
that cuts rug fibres under the pressure of constant
walking.
Use hand cleaner or vacuum attachments to clean
drapes and upholstered furniture. Don’t use vacuum
on down cushions. They don’t like it.
If cleaner is not picking up threads, check belt to
see if it is turning brush. If in doubt, replace belt.
Be sure “that brush is properly adjusted. The bristles
should extend an eighth of an inch below bottom of
nozzle.

A Fine Brand of Patriotism
Patriotism that doesn’t hurt. Patriotism that demands and yields no
rconcession. Is that our brand of patriotism? If you could hear and ob-
. serve some of the “patriotic” citizens as they apply for sugar to be
used in canning, you’d wonder if these people realize there actually* is
,,a war. It makes you want to say hard things, nasty things to these peo-
ple who complain and moan about sugar rationing, blaming first one
person and then another. .
This group of complaining, fault-finding sugar patriots is in a
minority. For that ,we are glad. But minorities of this type are dan-
gerous and there is no place at all for them among other patriotic
Americans who think doing without sugar is a mighty small part to
-play in this all-out war defense effort,
Blame is being placed on Olney’s member of the county rationing
board. Complaints are made over and over to the housewife who is
making these applications for sugar. We just wonder if these same
people who cry so loudly at the loss of one condiment would do what
the board members and office clerk are doing. They are working en-
tirely WITHOUT compensation and are doing their work as cheer-
fully, despite continued criticism which is directed at them about mat-
ters over which they have no control. They are merely carrying out
corders, on a without-pay basis. Not many businessmen have time or
would give the time, to be frank, that this board member does. He
makes many trips to Graham each week to sit on the board, since the
’.board holds meetings in that town only. The housewfie works six hours
a day, five days a week, and three hours on Saturday at a job she is
finding thankless. We wonder how many of these sugar patriots would
■do the same. Not many of them, you can bet.
Sure, the sugar rationing may be inconvenient at times. But isn’t
••everything about war pretty inconvenient? It has even disrupted Hit-
ler’s own timetable. If we could get unlimited amounts of sugar, mere-
ly by applying for it, what would be the use of rationing at all? That
is why rationing was instituted— because it is necessary.
We’re not going to dwell on the sacrifices our men in service are
making. We all know that. But do the sugar patriots?

One Minute Sermon
When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt, not
-slack to pay for it; for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee;
and it would be sin in thee.
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform: even
a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy
God, which thou hast promised thy mouth.—Deuteronomy 23:21-23.

HE: Hello... that you, Helen? Listen,
I forgot to tell you to send the car
over for greasing and an oil change.
SHE: Oh, all right Bob, but what
about the tires and the battery and
all the other things it might need?
HE: Right. . . everything should be
attended to. Gosh!... can’t you take
some responsibility for the car?
SHE: All right, smarty ... I have taken
the responsibility. I joined the Once-
a-Week Club today.
HE: Great Caesar’s ghost! Another
club! Didn’t we just agree last night to
-essary expenses?
SHE: That’s exactly what we are doing. This
without any dues, fees or anything.
HE: I’m listening . . . proceed with caution!
SHE: Well, you know that nice Conoco station over on
Myrtle Street? I went in there this morning and Mr.
Blevins, the Mileage Merchant, told me he would go
over our car every Thursday morning; check the tires,
the battery, water ... in fact, everything . . . and if he
saw anything needed, he would write it down for me.
HE: Atta girl! This war will make a business
out of you yet!
SHE: Oh, yeah? Well, I may be a business woman, my dear,
but I’m going to get a permanent this afternoon just to
prove I’m still a female... and the price will be charged
up to the extra life of our car and the savings we’re going
to have because of that Conoco Once-a-Week Club.
Pick up your phone or drive by and tell Your
Mileage Merchant to let you in op his Once-t
Club. Ask him about changing to his Conoco N*h
