Better Take Care
Families fortunate enough to own
electric washing machines had bet-
ter take good care of them, for
production of war equipment has
curtailed the supply of new wash-
ers. Mrs. Bernice Clay tor, exten-
service specialist, offers sug-
gestions on making the machine
last longer and serve more effici-
enty. Here are four of them:
Keep the washing machine clean.
Rinse and drain it well, wipe any
lint and dry the machine inside and
out. To keep the inside frame from
rusting, if it is made of steel or iron,
rub^t occasionalally with a little
oil. the machine is out in the
open, cover it to provide protection.
It is especially necessary to take
care of the rubber rollers in the
wringer now that rubber is scarce,
Mrs. Clayton warns. She cautions
against stalling or straining the
wringer by putting too much cloth-
ing through at one time.
Never use harsh scouring powder
on any part of the machine, es-
the inside, is her final word.

For Informal Needs
A spaghetti dinner makes an ex-
cellent choice for the busy house-
wife who wants to entertain a few
of her friends. During these times,
less emphasis is placed on elaborate
►]b&ns and party menus but there is
^l^excuse for not having simple, i
informal get-to-gethers.
The spaghetti may be cooked in
a casserole or attractive individual
casseroles to keep it piping hot un-
til guests assemble. A green salad,
crisp bread or hard rolls and a hot
beverage rhake a complete main
course serving.
Directions for a flavorful spag-
hetti casserole are given here: Fry
jj$K dices of bacon that have been
cur in small pieces. 'Simmer one-
fourth cup minced onion and one-
fourth chopped green pepper in the
bacon fat. Add one cup sliced mush-
rooms, twro cups tomato puree and
one-half pound ground beef. Add
salt and peper to taste and simmer
for 10 minutes. Add one cup red
wine. Cook one-half pound spa-
ghetti in boiling water. Arrange a
layer of the cooked spaghetti in
boiling water. Arrange a layer of
the sauce and a layer of grated
Amercina cheese. Add a second
layer of spaghetti, sauce and
cheese, finishing with cheese. Add
a jejpond layer of spaghetti, sauce
cheese, finishing with cheese.
Bakje in a moderate oven, 350 F.,
fo^^O minutes. Bring to the table

Test your knowledge of correct
social usage by answering the fol-
lowing questions, then checking

to the radio and tune it low?
2. If a member of your family
seems to be enjoying a radio pro-
gram should you say, “What do
jjjgy, want to listen to that for?”
possible should all the
members of a family be permitted
to listen to their favorite pro-
grams^
4. If you have a radio in your
bedroom should you keep it tuned
low, to keep from disturbing other

Whdt Price Victory!
“Blood and Sweat and Tears’’... and
money!.. .Such huge sums of money as
to beggar the imagination.of a Croesus.
That is the price of victory in this war.
Blood is the greatest price to pay. No one will
dispute that. Those who remain in civilian life
have only remote chances of sacrificing it. The
boys in uniforms are the Americans who will
bear the real scars of this conflict. They are the
fighters, who will lead and Yankee courage, will
keep Old Glory waving----will repulse the un-
provoked attack of the Japs and the Nazis.
Then, to these fighting men we owe a solemn
pledge ... a pledge to use every ounce of our
might to supply a super abundance of the imple-
ments of war and food and clothing to guarantee
that they will not be fighting half armed ... ill-
clad. ... empty stomached.
That takes money, lots of money ... Effort,
lots of effort. Let’s all, all who remain behind
the battle lines, resolve to buy Defense Stamps
and Bonds with abandon... to use every ounce
of our energy to! produce everything needed to
whip the daylights out of those who attacked us.
Granted, that it will require sacrifice, but sac-
rifice that palls into insignificance when we
compare it to the hardships and suffering of the
boys in uniform. Isn’t it a
small price to pay for victory?
... Yes ... when we contem-
plate what would happen if
our enemies won.

One has only to follow his newspaper, or tune
in his radio, to know what has happened to the
Poles, the Czechs, the Belgians, the Dutch, the
French; the Norwegians, the Serbs, the Greeks,
and whomever the Axis has struck successfully, to knowT
the fate of our nation if we lost this war.
Free religious worship, free speech, free thought, free
action would be denied us, if our enemies were victorious.
Our homes, churches, factories, farms, and the fruits of
our toil would be lost. Even life itself, would be in the
hands of those who regard human life as the cheapest
thing on earth. Our dreadful plight would be that of the
peoples already brought under the heel of the dictators.
Isn’t it about time that we put
collective shoulders to the wheel,
worked harder ... using every dol-
lar and every dime that we can
spare to buy Defense Bonds and Stamps to
assure defeat of the ruthless dictators and
to remove the possibility of the consequences
of defeat? We all know the answer. Let’s get
busy.
MgjMl
For the duration, keep in mind that your
retail merchants, your service institutions, and
your professional men are doing their best to
carry on as normally as possible, but if war has
forced certain changes, bear with them, re-
membering that they are doing all the can
to serve you the best they can.
