PARTY-BOUND RAYON DRESSES
BOTH these sisters afe wearing matching dresses of colorful, service*
able spun rayon. They have contrasting yokes edged with scallops,
set-in belts that tie in back, and circular skirts. Youngsters’ clothes—
whether they’re for school or dress-up—should be built to “take it.” Your
best assurance that children’s rayon garments have the necessary service
qualities is to look for informative labels that tell you about the laboratory
tests the fabric has passed for durability, color-fastness, shrinkage, etc.
STEAKS ARE BACK AGAIN!
Having sacrificed precious red
points to get steaks and other
meats for nearly four years, wom

though steaks are more plentiful,'
Mr. Butcher handles meat with
care, placing it on waxed paper to
assure sanitation, wrapping it as
though his fair customer still paid
precious points.

By Edna Mae McIntosh
We often hear that children are
creatures of habit. Most adults
have habits which, once establish
ed, are hard to change.
Infants who are started on foods
other than milk, during the first
four or five months are learning to
eat a variety and establishing the
habit of eating new foods. At first
this is an educational matter and
good food habits established early
are apt to last throughout life. A
variety of milk, vegetables, egg,
fruits, custards and simple pud
dings form food habits which the
rest of the family could follow with
advantage.
Good food habits are essential
for health and also for future hap
piness. Eating is a life long satis
faction and source of pleasure.
But, eating loses its pleasant as
sociations if force or urging en
ters into the picture. No one, young
or old, wants to be urged to finish
a serving. One’s natural resistance
is aroused. A small serving looks
more appetizing and second or even
' third helpings hold more allure
than one large serving.
If food is refused, or the serving
is not all eaten, it should be quiet
ly removed and given at another
meal time. It is more important to
maintain a happy meal time at
mosphere than that the last few
spoonfuls be eaten under protest.
Urging, scolding or any other in
dication of forcing the last mouth
fuls down an unwilling child is not
only ineffective and defeats its par
pose but robs the child and parent
of one source of continual happi
ness, satisfying family mealtimes.

Omaha’s Regional RFC
Leads in Percentage
of Surplus Sales
Fpr the second consecutive
month Omaha’s Regional RFC
Office led all others in the coun
try in percentage of surplus sales
quota attained during the first five
months of the current fiscal year
beginning July 1, it was announ
ced today.
The sales quota set for Omaha
is $10,000 per day. During the
month of November the Omaha
Agency’s sales of capital and pro
ducers goods totaled $299,523 35.
As an indication of the rate at
which the Omaha Agency is py
ramiding sales total sales for the
period from December 1 through
the 15th were $313,977.67. Omaha
has reached 58 per cent of its
yearly quota and is the only agen
cy in the country which has pas
sed even the 40 per cent mark,
i The national average percentage
I of quota reached was 8.9 per cent.
Gordon T. Burke, Assistant
Manager of RFC in charge of Sur
1 plus Property said that it is inter
| esting to note that mid-western
j RFC agencies are leading the na
i tion in sales activity. Following
Omoha’s lead, Minneapolis is in
second place, Denver is third, San
Antonio is fourth, and Salt Lake
City is fifth. We believe our sales
position has been realized only be
cause manufacturers and business
men of this section have been on
their toes and ready to buy the
surplus property which we have
for disposal. Our record does them
credit and is a reflection of their
good business judgment, and de
spite the troubles we’ve had, we
hope they’ll keep coming to us lor
merchandise.

Control Methods
"It’s a mistake to expect mira

methods of application are used,”
k was stated recently by Dr. Heber
C. Donohoe, research director and
entomologist of the Peterman lab
oratories, in a message to the na
tion’s housewives.
For example, many new DDT
fortified products have disappoint
ed users who fail to realize that
DDT must be applied in a certain
way for each variety of insect.
Particularly resistant to many
widely sold insecticides is the Cimex
lectularius (bedbug).
A bedbug killer containing DDT
is much more effective as a re
sidual agent if it is evenly applied
to the mattress, bed frame and
springs and other surfaces. Such

If yours is a eoal-fcuFhing fur
nace, there has to be some place for
the ashes to drop and to be con
tained. It is unfortunate, though,
that this receptacle has to be called
the ash pit, for it really has a fa*
more important function, which,
when overlooked, can cause you
more heating trouble and expense
than anything else.
As explained to me by the
world’s largest installers of home
heating furnaces, the primary
function of the pot underneath the
grates is to serve as an air cham
ber, supplying the necessary quan
tity of pre-heated air to bring
about good burning of the coal. If
this air is choked off by ashes fill
ing up the space, the combustion
must necessarily be interfered
with, causing a loss of heat and a
waste of coal, and even leading to
the fire being extinguished. Clink
ers form, and there is trouble all
around.
There is, therefore, every good
reason for removing the ashes
daily. It is a nuisance, to be sure,
but if you allow the ashes to pile
up, it simply means that you are
making more ashes than necessary
to form in the firepot, so that the
easiest way out is to keep the ash
pit clean. Furthermore, if the
ashes pile up too high, you not only
waste more than half of your coal,
but you’ll burn out the grates.
Operate a clean furnace and
you’ll be amazed at the saving in
fuel — a fact that really means
something in these days of coal
shortage.

Office Champion" and “King” of 1945’s bandleaders on the record of
his stellar performance by the Independent Press Service. The poll
nominated as runner-ups (in Positions 2, 3. 4, 5 and 6): Count Basie,
I“^ady Herman, Louis Jordan, Gene Krupa and Louis Prima. This
definitely was a popularity poll. The bands selected were named be
