o o The Frontier Woman ... f Friend Spreads Sunshine to All By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemaking Editor Still housecleaning? You’ll find your vacuum clean er can do a lot of tasks that used to be more tedious. Use the edger” to get at hard-to-get dust from burners on your gas refrigerator, and hard-to-get-at spots behind Q the stove, tiny crevices between stove and cabinet and such plac es. The edger of the vacuum clean 0 er is ideal to get fine dust from drawers and saves taking the drawer out and turning upside down for periodical cleaning. It wilV often go under things where any other tool on the vacuum cleaner is too large to use. Use the duster brush on the j cleaner to get dust from Venetian blinds once a week. A well known powder used for making a cleaning solution is fine for wash ing venitian blinds. You’ll find them easier to keep clean if you use a coating of wax to make them shine and dust will slide off more quick ly, too. Keep the dust pan waxed and it will be easier to keep clean and will wear longer. Be sure to remove the bulbs from light fixtures and lamps and clean them periodically. You can use a damp sponge and wipe dry with a derth. Dont do this when the bulbs are screwed into sockets, as you might get a shock. Be sure to wash the light fix tures and dean the shades. Makes a lot of difference in the amount of light you get. C — tfw — This Happened in O'Neill— The day was fine and I was a window shopper on Douglas street at our county seat while the better-half took himself to tiie sale barn. Happily I spied a familiar fig ure coming my* way. My smile and greeting were quite genuine, I assure you, for I always enjoy those brief contacts with her— one whom I am pleased to call | my friend. We exchanged pleasantries and shared some harmless gossip. She roughed up my small son’s hair and gave him a quick little squeeze as she passed on down the street, leaving sonny and me smiling and happy. And why shouldn’t we feel that way? Wasn’t she a member of my Sunday-school class? Didn’t we belong to the same club? Hadn’t my son gone to school to her and counted her his dearly beloved (along with the rest of her pupils) even though his pleasure in her room was of short duration. Yes, Sonny, and I both were very happy to have met our friend. We lingered at the window, Sonny was deep in interest in the farm wagon that he never had. My, I was becoming restless and my glance downstreet revealed our friend, pausing at the comer fountain to engage a child in con versation, 'remarking admiringly about her shoes and her pretty dress, working hard to get her to forget her shyness and break into speech instead of the negative and affirmative nods of response. With the child’s small hand held closly in her trwo hands, she turned her attention to the moth er—one the the mentally retard ed, underprivileged, handicapped by birth and heredity, the half foolish smile and the conversa tion my friend had with her was strictly one-sided, as it had been with her daughter. You know about how tongue tied and bothered you would be were you unexpectedly to meet Churchill or Ike and be expected to answer them on their level. So it was with them, used to being unnoticed and meeting with unfriendliness rather than with the cordial show of friendly in terest A moment later my son and I, the woman and her daughter met and the warm afterglow of pleasure was reflected in the face of us who had had the unexpected pleasure of sharing a few priceless moments with a friend.

Atkinson Sale Barn Threatened by Fire ATKINSON — Apprehens ion prevailed most of Friday, April 29, as smoke and dust enveloped the Atkinson Livestock Market yards. A rubbish fire had been started across the road south of the yards. Manure caught ablaze and the smouldering fire occasionally broke out, being fanned by strong winds. The stubborn blaze linger ed throughout the day, despite the attention of firemen and use of plows and road graders.
