Here's a 2 new way to clean silver quickly Cover the bottom of a large
poreelain enameled utensil with a piece of aluminum foil. Measure in
enough water to cover the silver and heat to boiling. Add one tea
spoon of salt and one teaspoon of baking soda for each quart of
water. Immerse silver so that each piece touches the foil. In about
two minutes the tarnish will disappear. Remove the silver, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a cloth. The glossy finish of the porcelain
enameled utensil cannot be stained by the tarnish and will be easy
to clean wn the task is completed.

In Session Here
Shirt-sleeved country preachers
took a one-day course in agricul
ture here yesterday because they |
believe that saving souls and sav
ing soil are pretty much akin. |
The five-hour session at thei
University of Georgia’s College of |
- Agriculture was designed to make
better preachers out of the men]
who serve the small town and
country churches by letting them
get an inside look at the funda
mental economic and agricultural
problems that most of their mem
bers are up against. |
“Churches can't prosper until‘
the people prosper,” one agricul
tural leader told the rural minis- '
ters. “And the people will never'
be any better than the land on
which they live.” |
O. D. Hall, of the Soil Conserv
ation Service here, urged the
preachers to help make better
farmers out of their members by
emphasizing more often the first
verse of the 24th Psalm: “The
earth is the Lord’s and the fullness
thereof . . .» i
Nearly 100 rural preachers at
tended the course to catch up on
the changing trends in agriculture.
All of them came to Athens from
Atlanta where they are enrolled‘
in the 6th annual Town and Coun
try School now in session at Em- |
ory University.
The School is being attended by
rural church leaders from twelve
Southern and Midwestern states.
Most of them are Methodists but
some represent the Baptist, Pres
byterian, and Evangelical faiths.
“It's a wonderful thing to have
preachers interested in the real
problems of life rather than the
pseudo problems of life,” Asso- |
ciate Dean Paul W. Chapman otl
the College of Agriculture told the
group. . i
“Most communities need some |
bold soul to get up and tell the
people the trues—that the South
won’'t ever be prosperous until it
has a balanced agriculture and
that the selfish ambitions of a few
poeple who fear competition must
not be allowed to keep industry |
from moving into a reglon. !
“Whether you are that soul or
not, I don’t know,” Dean Chapman
said. -
During the afternoon the preach
ers toured the University farm, the
poultry plant, and the food pro
cessing plant,« - 1
