Junior-Senior Banquet,
Dance, Enjoyable
Event At Armory
The junior class of Clinton high
school entertained the senior class
Friday evening with the annual ju
nior-senior banquet and dance at the
. rmory.
\ •
A gypsy tneme was used in the
colorful decorations. The invitations,
memories, and unusual place cards,
which had a fortune on the back,
also carried out the theme.
W. R. Anderson, superintendent of
schools, gave the invocation. Jimmy
Hollingsworth, junior president, gave
the welcome and a toast “to the past,
present, and future.” The senior
president, Joe Holland, responded. |
The entertainment was supplied
by a number of high school girls
dressed in the brilliantly colored re-,
galio of gypsies, Joan Barron, Sue
Cooper, Mary Catherine Anderson,!
and Joan Vaughan, formed a quar-|
tet which sang “In a Little Gypsy!
Tea Room.” Barbara Workman, so-:
prano soloist, gave the ever-loved
“Gypsy Love Song.”’ A second quar
tet, composed of Josephine Leaman,
Betty Jean Sumerel, Joan Vaughan
and Barbara Workman, sang “Gypsy
Moon.” A vivacious gypsy dance by
Joan Barron, Joan Vaughan and
Mary Catherine Anderson closed the
colorful program.
The music for the dance was by
Bill Blalock’s quintet.
Mrs. Lewis Wallace and Mrs. Ro
ger Henry are the junior sponsors.
Questions About Freezing
Answered by USDA Experts
Two home freezers may be
cheaper than one in the long run.
Or no freezer at all may prove
more economical.
Families who ar h e thinking about
buying a home food freezer shoulB
make a well planned and business
like approach to finding out what
equipment will serve their needi
best—and at the least expense—
says the U. S. department of ag
riculture, on the basis of investi
gations by Dr. Earl McCracken of
the bureau of human nutrition and
home economics.
Two freezers of medium capacity
—10 cubic feet—would cost more to
purchase than one freezer of 20
cubic feet size. But when the
stored food supply is reduced to
10 cubic feet, one freezer could be
turned off. Also when food is being
stored, one freezer could be used
for freezing and the other for stor
age. If the family need was for
30 cubic feet capacity, a division
of the equipment, into one 10 feet
and bne 20-feet freezer, would al
low still wider choice in operation
with 10-, 20-, or 30-cubic feet ca
pacity under refrigeration.
The “no-freezer-at-all” policy is
more economical for some families,
Dr. McCracken points out. This
may be true for a family that has
access to a community locker
plant—cooperative or commercial
conveniently located. With a good
refrigerator at home including a
compartment for freezing and stor
ing small lots of fresh fruits and
vegetables, the family may find it
more economical to depend on the
central plant for large quantity
storage and for the heavy freezing
Jobs connected with butchering of
farm animals or the freezing of
poultry and of fruits such as
peaches that ripen all at one time.

World's First Radar Port
Oporatlnc Raw in Britain
World’s • first specially designed
port radar ayatem for harbor su
pervision has now begun to oper
ate. at England's great port of Liv
erpool.
The Liverpool radar equipment
is a complex machinery that gives
a complete picture of the 12 miles
of narrow tortuous fairway be
tween Bar Lighthouse and the
docks. Coating about 40.000 pounds
(S120.000), it was designed, tested
and built in only 18 months.
The new radar installation has
uses beyond the ability to direct
ships safely Into dock in foggy or
bad weather. It also insures that
more vessels can use a channel at
one time, thus providing a quicker
turnaround. It will also reduce de
lay costs—delay of one hour' may
easily extend to the loss of a tide,
which would coat the average ves
sel some 400 pounds ($1,900).
Port authorities will have con
tinuous observation of all shippings
within the port area and its ap
proached up to 20 miles range. It
will alq6 enable them to check the
positjphs of all floating navigation
al marks—in place of the old
method of personal inspection
every few days, and it will give
:nstantaneous information of any
shipping casualty or any dangerous
obstruction in the channel ap
proaches.
Housecleaning time on a big scale
is here again! Use the following tips
to help in the work.
Before tackling any housecleaning i
job, use your head to save your,
hands. Rub baby lotion well into the
hands so that the white emulsion of
pure bland oil and water with larf-
olin can protect the hands while
you clean.
Organize cleaning tools such as 1
soap, brushes, powder and polishing
cloths on a basket or tray to carry, I
all assembled, from room to room. J
Ideal cleaner for whisking dirt
from bric-a-brac, book tops, base
boards and hard-to-clean corners is
an ordinary two-inch paint brush.
Brooms last longer and give bet
ter service if you whisk them,
through warm soapy water occa
sionally. After rinsing them w’ell, I
hang the brooms to dry so that the
straws do not rest against floor orj
wall.
Dust hangs downward on walls as
you dust, so brush them up to pre
vent streaking and smearing.
Before cleaning a radiator, lay a
dampened cloth across the top. This
catches a large part of the dust as
you jxush up around the coils.
Spots and stains on wallpaper can
often be removed with ordinary dry
cleaner. Pour a little of the solution
on a soft clean, cloth and sponge
lightly for best results.
Liquid cream wax should be used
for furniture and floors that you
want to clean at the same time they
are waxed. It may also be used on
radiators, leather and plastic up
holstery, as well as Venetian blinds.

A PARMER stirred restlessly on his
“ corn-shuck mattresn In the bed
room of his 18th century frame
home located in the outskirts of an
eastern town. Slowly, from the
depths of sleep, he realized what had
awakened him. Smoke l
Instantly, he was wide awake and
shouted at his son to saddle the
mare and ride to town for help.
Meanwhile, the farmer, his wife and
two daughters formed a four-man
bucket brigade and heaved water
from leather buckets on the flames.
Townspeople Respond.
In town, men were running to sta
bles where teams of horses were be
ing hitched to odd-looking rigs fes
tooned with lines of leather hose and
laden with buckets.
The first company on the
scene of the Maze racketed to •
halt, and the captain raced to
the building with ar ladder under
his arm. He set the ladder
against the front of the house
and climbed to a spot Just under
the second-story windows.
There, by the light of the fire
leaping from the eaves, he care
fully examined a metal plaque
nailed to the clapboard, known
as a “fire mark.”
"It’s the New Haven’s boys,” he
shouted, and hurriedly clambered
down the ladder and trotted back to
the road. His company of fire fight
ers found seats on the rig from
which they watched the progress of
the Are.
“Innocent” Bystanders.
In the meantime, other fire com
panies had arrived at the term yard,
but as soon as they received word
that the little metal plaque on the
wall read “New Haven Home Insur
ance Company” they, too, sat Idly by.
It was left entirely up to a fee
brigade sponsored by the New
Haven company to fight the
darting tongues ef flame, fer the
fire mark had shown that eufe
this company stood to beaefe by
patting out the fire.
Gradually this cold-blooded Itth
century attitude gave way to a more
humane concern for the domestic
tragedies which follow a fire. Com
pany-sponsored fire brigades like the
fictitiously-named one above were
supplanted by volunteer communit;
organizations.
There was a time. In the early 1 18th century, when neighbors stood
or sat idly by and let insurance company-sponsored Are brigades do the
firefighting when a fire-insured farmhouse or barn caught fire, since
only the company stood to benefit by putting out the fire before total
destruction. Now, however, independent farm mutuals patterned after
a mutual insurance company founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1732
are saving farmers from coast to coast millions of dollars annually.
Pkrmers thumbed through pages
of history and adopted a mutual in
surance principle which had been
pioneered by one of America’s great
statesmen, best remembered today
for his discoveries in electricity.
According to material gathered
and annotated by H. L. Kennl-
cott, secretary of Lumbermen’s
Mutual Casualty ’ company. It

Here's how Kennicott says a typ
ical loss Ls handled under the farm
mutual system:
A farm near Alton, Illinots. suf
fered minor damage from a wind
storm. Next day a fanner who lived
about 10 miles away and sesved as
the part-time secretary for the local
farm mutual, stopped at the dam
aged farm on his way to town. It
was milking time, so the secretary
Just walked into the barn He found
the farmer and his son there and
said to them:
“You lost a little roofing. (
suppose that will take about
three dollars worth of shingles,
and you and your son will nail it
on. Here are the three dollars.”
He settled the loos and got a re
ceipt. Aa simple as that.

a majority of farm mutuals belong

that the total volume of insurance

Growth of Electric Industry
History of the electric industry
during recent years has been one
of unparalleled growth in almost
every phase of operation. Demand
for electric power from all classes
of customers — residential, rural,
commercial, industrial—has been
increasing at a phenomenal rate.
Electricity sales in 1947 were the
highest in history, more than dou
ble the 1939 total, and topped the
record war-time peak set in 1944
by more than 19 billion kilowatt
Tours. New customers, being added
at the unprecedented rate of more
than two million a year, brought
ihe 1947 total of customers on the
electric lines to about 38.4 million.
More customers have been added
since V-J day than were added dur^
mg the first 30 years of the indus
try’s existence.

Weight of Mother Earth
How much does the Earth weigh?
Should one really speak of the
mass of the earth, rather than its
weight, since weight is a measure
of the attraction of the Earth for
an object. Mass (which is given in
the sarhe^umts as used for weight)
is a measure of the amount of
matter that it contains. In space,
away from the attraction of some
celestial body, an object has no
weight, though it has the same
mass that it would have on the
Earth’s surface. The mass of the
^Earth itself is 6,586,000,000,000,000,- i
300,000 (six sextillion, 586 quintil- 1
lion) short tons.
