Confirmants Honored
By Leaguers
Monday, April 2, the Luther-
an Church social hall was
scene of a devotional and
cial evening honoring the
recent confirmants of
church.
Arlen Tieken welcomed
large assembly of Leaguers,
their guests and the honored
ten.
The singing of the League
rally hymn, “O Christians
Leagued Together,” opened the
devotions. The scripture, Luke
19:28-40 was read by Beatrice
Schroeder.
Marcia Effenberger in charge
of the devotional presented the
meditation and topic, “On Going
Somewhere” reviewing the Eas-
ter spirit.
Devotions closed with the
singing of “Dear Lord and
. Father of Mankind.” It was fol-
lowed by the Lord’s Prayer.
Arlen then reported on the
Executive Committee meeting
especially urging all the Leag-
uers to consider camp seriously.
All the confirmants who were
not already members of the
League joined the organization.
Two confirmants, Sandra Ward
and Evelyn Stratman, volun-
teered for the topic and devo-
tions for the next meeting.
The offering was received and
was consecrated by singing “We
Give Thee But Thine Own.”
Games got the party off with
a bang and kept going strong
until the refreshments
served. Grace was sung
the lunch consisting of
wiches, pickles, potato
cookies, cake and iced punch.
The evening closed with
everyone joining in a friend-
ship circle and singing.
Mrs. J. Dale Mingus and Mrs.
E. A. Ross attended the Vaca-
tion Bible School Institute in
Hallettsville Wednesday of last
week.
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Krpulik,

step depends on the kind of
washing machine you have.
In the top-loading washer,
fill the machine with lukewarm
water and add 1 cup of con-
trolled sudsing detergent. Let
the washer run until the deter-
gent dissolves. Turn off the
washer and put the blanket in
for a 15-minute soak. Turn the
blanket over a few times.
After the soak, turn the
washer to “spin” until water
has drained out. It is not ne-
cessary to spin the blanket for
a long time. Fill the washer
with warm water, soak the
blanket in the rinse 4 to 5 min-
utes and then spin. Use a sec-
ond rinse in the same way.
If you use a front-loading
machine, fill it with water to
the bottom of the door level be-
fore dissolving V2 cup controlled
^udsing detergent in the water.
Add the blanket and continue
filling the machine to full
level. Soak 10 minutes, then
spin off soiled water and rinse.
Electric blankets can be
laundered in the same way if
they are labeled washable. Fol-
low manufacturer’s instructions
to remove the control. To pro-
tect the plug, the edges of the
blanket are turned over the
plug and secured with a few
stitches.

Cut worms and June bugs
are doing a lot of damage to
young corn. A good dusting or
spraying with a toxaphene and
DDT mixture will do a good job
controlling these pests. Watch
your crop carefully. June bugs
and cut worms work at night
and may not be seen during the
day. Often severe damage is
done before one knows what is
happening.
Leonard Pesek, 4-H club boy
from Wied, was the owner of
the Grand Champion Steer
shown at the Cuero Livestock
Show. The 774 lb. Hereford
steer was bred by M. I. Bozka.
A lot of favorable comments
for subsoiling are heard over
the county. Farmers who sub-
soiled during these dry times
have been able to utilize what
moisture they do get more ef-
ficiently.
WHAT TO DO IN APRIL
1. Be on the look out for the
pecan nut caseborer and be pre-
pared to spray to control him.
2. Start regular spraying for
fruit insect control.
3. Watch out for plant lice,
on all plants.
4. Bag worms will be show-
ing up on cedar.
5. Treat sheep for lice if
shearing is done this month.
6. Cull all hens that are not
laying.

their son, E. J. and Mrs. Ed.
Prasatik of Fayetteville visited

day.

Raindl and children last week.
New “Soak” Method For
Laundering Blankets
Soon it will be time to clean
and store blankets. A new
“Soak” method for blanket
washing developed by laundry
research at Ohio State Univer-
sity gives excellent cleansing
results and prevents shrinkage.
Agitation is often responsible
for shrinkage, according to re-
search workers. The soak meth-
od involves no agitation. Here
are the instructions:
Shake out all loose dirt and
remove unusually soiled spots
by rubbing with a soft brush
and solution of % teaspoon of
controlled sudsing detergent in
1 cup of warm water. The next
