LEADERS ARE TRAINED IN
SELECTION OF DISHWASHER
Home Demonstration Club
Leaders learned that 620,000
dishwashers were sold in 1961
and that one third of this num-
ber were sold to homemakers to
replace earlier models. These
figures indicate that home-
makers have found the dish-
washer a satisfactory appli-
ance.
Mrs. Mildred F. Pugh, HD
agent, discussed the selection,
care and use of a dishwasher.
Loading and washing the
dishes was demonstrated at
the home of Mrs., Fred Born in
Follett. The leaders will give
a program on the dishwasher
in the local clubs in April.

sented by Mrs., Melvin Miller

BOOKER H. D. CLUB LEARNS
ABOUT WASHERS & DRYERS
Booker Home Demonstra-
tion Club met March 19, 1964
at 2:00 p.m. in the home of
Mrs. Richard Sell.
Mrs. Clyde Bechthold,
Club President was the pro-
gram leader on automatic
washers and clothes dryers.
Mrs. Bechthold told the group
that automatic washers clean
by tumbling or agitation. The
tumbler washers are front
opening and use low sudsing
detergent. The agitator type
is top opening; it uses either
high or low sudsing detergent
and requires more gallons of
water than the tumbler washer.
In general, new washers have
bigger tubs and recommend
12 to 14 pounds to the load.
Those present were Mes-
dames Raymond Harper, Harold
Hummer, Barrie Mounsey,
Elmer Stabel, Delbert Howard,
Clyde Bechthold, and Richard
Sell.
The next meeting will be
April 2 at 2:00 P.M. at Mrs. ~
Harold Hummer’s. Mrs. Rich-
ard Sell will be program
leader. The program will be
on vacuum cleaners and floor
washer-polishers. Mrs. Mildred

Agent, will meet with the
group and demonstrate floor

CUB SCOUT MARDI GRAS
IS TERMED BIG SUCCESS
The Cub Scouts Mardi Gras
Midway was enjoyed by all who
attended.
It was opened with prayer by
Rev. Lewis, cubmaster. Donnie
Howard and Clayton Travis gave
a flag ceremony skit in which a
short history of the flag was
given and were joined by the rest
of the cub scouts in singing the
Star Spangled Banner. Then the
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
was given. The cubs then sang a
Welcome song.
Each boy operated his own
booth and later took turns trying
their luck at their fellow cub
scout's booths and having their
palms read by the palm reader.
The taffy and fudge was enjoyed
by the winners.
The peep show and guessing
jar caused quite an attraction.
The jar of candy was won by
John Duke.

All who attended agreed the
cubs did a wonderful job of mak-
ing the carnival a success. They
netted about $20 to be used in
their summer recreation program.
High School. He went on to
name the three causes for
most fires: “men, women,
and children.”
In the 45-minute program
Smetana used a variety of
demonstration equipment and
materials placed on tables
16 feet in length to drama-
tize seven basic facts about
fire, its use, and control:
(1) what fire is; (2) how to
control fires; (3) the fact
that nothing is fire-proof;
(4) kitchen fires and their
control; (5) fuel vapors;
(6) the power of petroleum
products; and (7) household
wiring and overloaded elec-
trical circuits.
Using a “fire triangle
board,” Smetana illustrated
that fire is like a three leg-
ged stool - it can’t W’ork
with one of the legs missing.
The “legs” fire depends on
are (l) fuel, (2) heat and (3)
air. He stated that in Ameri-
can homes these three things
come together in deadly and
destructive combination
every 57 seconds - an aver-
age of 1,500 home fires
every day, causing more
than 5,000 deaths in home
fires every year.
Creating quite a loud ex-
plosion from 1 single drop
of gasoline, Smetana stated
that one gallon of gasoline
contains approximately
155,000 drops and under
ideal conditions, could pro-
duce an explosion force
equal to the power of at
least 30 sticks of dynamite.
After demonstrating how
fires can be caused by over-
loaded electrical circuits
and improper fusing, Smetan
pointed out that many
of this type are blame
faulty wiring. He
that “faulty thinking’
volved more ofte
“faulty wiring”.
