How to Ratprooi iU.m Toid By Engineering Head Feed is too senree and expensive nowadays to waste on rats. It seems the job of keeping rats away from stored feed and grain is never finish ed, and so R. W. Carpenter, head of the agricultural engineering depart ment, University of Maryland, offers some suggestions. \ Grain and feed bins can be rat- proofed by applying metal flashing to all corners or lining bins with cement- asbestos board or metal, he says. Corn cribs can be protected with hardware cloth screening under the floors and around the sides to a height of six feet or so. To prevent rats and mice from climbing the sides, surround the crib, at a height of about four feet, with a band of smooth metal about a foot wide. Or a narrower strip can be used if ’it is bent at right angles to form a ledge which the animals can’t climb over. Foundation walls of buildings with concrete floors should extend under ground IS inches to two feet to make a solid barrier. This discourages rats from burrowing underneath and pre vents frost damage, too. By making the base of the footing four to six inches wider than the rest of the foundation wall, a ledge results which seems to baffle rats and prevent their burrowing under. Carpenter says that these sjeps, to gether with the use of new rat poi sons, keeping surroundings clean of waste materials, and repairing build ings will go a long way toward solv ing the rat problem and saving pre cious feed.

No one method of pressing will work on every fabric, and the home maker should try, a small corner of the fabric to see which works best, says Julia E. Brekke, NDAC extension service clothing specialist. Most fabrics look better if they are pressed on the wrong side. Hems, seams, collars, etc., may need to be pressed on the right side, too. The choice of press cloths makes a lot of difference in the kind of job that can be done. Miss Brekke recommends the fol lowing types of press cloths: Cheesecloth is good for fabrics that scorch easily, such as white rayons and silks. Dampen the cheesecloth slightly, lay it over the fabric, and press until dry. Heavier woolens caxt be pressed with cheesefloth, too. Chiffon is good for pressing ray ons and silks that water spot. Wet the chiffon thoroughly and wring out the excess water. Then hold the warm iron on the chiffon, until it begins to steam, spread the chiffon out on the fabric and press up. Tissue paper can be used on silk rayons. Dampen the paper very slightly with a sponge and press. This takes out deep wrinkles. On some fabrics you can press over the paper without dampening it. Reorganization First Problem of Assembly Columbia, Dec. 27.—Organization will be the first and paramount or der of business for the 88th general assembly's opening here January 11. Principal offficers of both house ' and senate must b6 selected and; committee assignments made before j the assembly can buckle down to | fwork. The No. 1 election will be that of speaker of the house. Represen tative Bruce Littlejohn of Spartan- ! burg, apparently is unopposed for: re-election. ' The senate must elect a president | pro tempore, to preside in the ab-; sence of Lieutenant Governor George ] Bell Timmerman, Jr. Senator Edgar' A. Brown of Barnwell, has held the! post since 1942. A ccjntesh may develop for the! pro tempore speakership of the house, j made vacant when Representative i James Morrison of Georgetown, was, elected to the senate. Seeking this post, he has an- ] nounced, is Representative Delmar : N. (Tiny’ Rivers, of Jasper. Ten tatively, Representative William N. Clinkscales of Andersoon, is in the field. Others may offer. The senate will hold a caucus on the eve of the assembly meeting to 1 apportion assignments to new sena- j tors on committees where vacancies exist, and to arrange committee! chairmanships. The hhuse will get its committees 1 on the election of a speaker, who ap- i points them. Each committee, how- j ever, must meet and elect chairmen. 1 The senate can be expected to con-i tinue Brown as finance chatirman and; Senator W. Brantley Harvey, of Beaufort, as judiciary chairman. Representative Charles N. Plow- den, of Clarendoiv seeks re-election to the ways and means chairman ship. The judiciary chairmanship is wide open, as Representative Perrin W. Anderson, of Greenwood, did notj seek house re-election. Both bodies must elect chief offi cers—clerks, assistant clerks, read ing clerks, journal clerks, and ser-l geants-at-arms. Incumbents are ex-1 pected to be re-elected without oppo sition. ir SIX-INCH SERMON By Rev. Robert H. Harper SOURCES OF OUR KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS Lesson for January. 9: Luke 1: 1-4; John 20:30-31; 21:25; I Corinthians 15:3-5; I John 1:1-4. Memory Selection: John 20:31. The sources of our knowledge of Jesus are chiefly the four Gospels and the Tipjstles of Paul. It was in the latter half of the* first century that the need was felt' of a written record. Previously men knew about Jesus through their personal contact with him. or from others who had known him.. Paul began his Epistles about the year 52; the Gospels were begun three years later. Mark’s Gospel was the first written, and John’s the last. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the Synoptics because their Gos pels are much alike, even to phrase ology. John’s Gospel is different from the others, both in its narratives and the purpose of the author. Matthew wrote to show that Jesus came in fullment of prophecy, Mark records what Jesus did, showing him as a man of action, and Luke en larges upon Matthew and Mark. John writes of the mystery of Christ’s Per son—to show who Jesus is. Paul writes, not as a historian, but as a pastor—to settle matters of contro versy in churches he had founded, to set their people right irt^loctrine, and to encourage them in Christian , living. But Paul’s Epistles include much historical material while they have been of great value in shaping Christian doctrine. Thus, from different writers we gain the blessed truth—all we need 1 to know concerning Him whose name i Is above every name. PATIENTS AT HAYS HOSPITAL YESTERDAY I F. H.

After the over throw of the dictatorship in 1917, most political battles were waged in the newspapers. Even bull fights in Costa Rica are relatively gentle, notes the National Geographic soci ety. At the free-for-all amateur con tests bulls are not injured or killed, and their horns are sawed off to pre vent serious accidents to participants. By far the majority of Costa Rica’s three guarters of a million people live in the central plateau around th« capital of San Jose. In a country smaller than West Virginia, these perpetually springlike upland valleys form one of the most densely* settled rural regions of the Americas. In spite of the name which means “rich coast ”, Costa Rica was never a source of mineral treasure. Religion in Estonia Today Ancient church of St. Nicholas in Pamu, Estonia, was destroyed by warfare but the church of St. Eliza beth and the two Orthodox churches have hardly suffered. Only old people risk going to church, however, the younger generations keep away for fear of persecution as the attitude of the authorities towards the church is as hostile as ever. One of the- reasons why the churches are half-empty is the fact that there are hardly any clergymen left in the country and di vine service- is often held by vergers and elders «f the congregations. The remaining clergymen are rounded up and deported. The only effect of the new ecclesiastical policy of the re gime is that the pastorless churches are left open and not used for secular purposes, as was the case in 1944 and 1945, when many were requisitioned to serve as stores and depots for the army. Handling of Fireworks Chaney’ s Pre-Inventory Sale On All Fall Merchandise CLINTON AND LAURENS, S. C. Because of their explosive nature, it is dangerous to leave fireworks, either packed or unpacked, in a room with an open light or to strike match es or to smoke iri a room cbnfaining fireworks. It is well to remember that powder grains sometimes shake out of fireworks packages during ship ment and scatter'around in the pack ing box. Such a box, until it has been ( cleaned out,- is sifnilcx to an open powder bag. Care should be taktn to unpack fireworks on’y in a place where they will not be exposed to ac cidental ipnitlon. A few buckets of water at hand, or a nearby' garden hose connected to a water pipe, may ft disastrous fire. : ^ 50 Robes, Housecoats and Pajama Sets Vi-Price 17 Coats, all wool Vi-Price 55 Suits, all wool Vi-Price 366 Dresses, in wools, crepes, gabardines, one and two pieces, in juniors and misses Vi-Price 50 Blouses Vi-Price 23 Wool Shirts, were $8.95, now $5.75 All-Wool Sweaters Vs Off Outing Gowns and Pajamas Vs Off All Dickies, in cotton, rayon and crepes Vi-Price All above merchandise in assorted styles, colors and sizes Lot of Bedroom Shoes Vi-Price Lot of Outing Gowns .......L Vi-Price Lot of Dresses $2.00 Lot of Sweaters $2.00 Lot of Scarfs and Luhcheon Sets $1.00 Lot of Bags ... v Reduced Prices ( • ■ /. .
