NOTICE OF PITTMAN REUNION
The descendants of John Pittman,
who was a soldier in the Revolution
ary War, and a pioneer of Georgia,
coming to Georgia prior to 1770, are
to hold their annual reunion, July
18th, 1937, at Lakewood Park, At
lanta.
This is accessible by fine high
ways, and by street car. Plenty of
parking space. Arrangements have
been made to provide comfortable
accommodations. A basket dinner
will be served. All branches of the

Mrs. E. C. Pike, Sec'y.
THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING
Cold tea is ideal for cleaning var
nished pain, window panes, and mir
rors. Hot vinegar will readily re
move stubborn paint from window
gla; s.
Cheese will melt smoothly if care
is taken not to overheat or cook too
long. Too much heat toughens it
and it becomes gummy and stringy.
t t 1
Glue discarded fruit-jar rubber
rings to the bottom of vases, candle
sticks, etc., to prevent them scratch
ing bookcase tops, tables, and other
surfaces.
Moisten tea and coffee stains with
milk, cover with borax, and soak in
hot water.
1 t t
Scissors are indispensable in the
kitchen. There are many things
about preparing meals which are
difficult and slow when a knife is
used, but try using scissors and see
how satisfactory they are. When
making a pie, for instance, scissors
are helping in making button holes.
Especially when the pie is to have
an upper crust, it is easy to leave
about an inch all the way around the
edge which is to be turned under
and crimped properly.
t t t
By opening a can of asparagus at
the bottom, the asparagus can be
taken out without crushing the tend
er tips.

HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRESS
NOTED
Chicago. The nation’s traffic
deaths numbered 14,270 in the first
five months of 1937, the National
Safety Council reported.
The total was 17 per cent greater
than that compiled during the same
period of last year.
May fatalities were computed at
3,000 compared with 2,730 in April
and 2,800 in May, 1936.
The council reckoned, however,
that highway travel, as indicated by
gasoline consumption, increased 13
per cent in May over the correspond
ing month of last year while motor
vehicle deaths showed a rise of sev
en per cent.
“These figures are evidence,” said
Statistician R. L. Forney, “that in
spite of the larger number of
deaths, motor travel, mile for mile,
was safer during May, 1937, than
during May, 1936.”
THE CLASSIC TOUCH
Mrs. Schmonsky—What does that
word “asbestos” on the theatre cur
tain mean?
Schmonsky—Don’t show your ig
