Homemaker Can Be she Best
‘Fireman' so Protect Home
The most meaningful obser
vance of National Fire Prevention
Week, October 7-13, can be con
ducted by every homemaker right
in her own home, urges Miss
Lucile Higginhotham, head of the
Extension health department, Uni
versity of Georgia College of
Agriculture,
The lady of the house, with the
help of other members of the
family, can be the most effective
“fireman” simply by taking a
little time to prevent a fire from
ever starting. And, by giving each
member of the family a little
training in what to do in case a
fire does start, she can give them
a much better chance of surviving
in event of fire by preventing the
confusion and panic that often
lead to death or injury.
Although important anywhere,
these precautionary measures are
especially needed in rural areas
where help may be slower com
ing, she said.
Despite mereasingly better fire
protection and better building
materials and home equipment,
the danger of home fires is still
great, Miss Higginbotham said.
She pointed out the 800 deaths and
property damage amounting to

TALL GIRL FASHION
DESIGNS
The lines of current fashions
should be adapted to a wo
man’s individual needs and
way of living. The first step
in selecting the best line so
yourself is to determine yow
figure type. Are you tall and
stout, short and stout, petite or
tall and slim or a variation of
several types?
Let's say that you are the
tall-full figure type. Fluid
lines are good for this type.
Skirts with gentle fullness via
gores and soft pleats are need
ed. Clothes should be fitted
with ease to camouflage ample
contours. The costume look is
good for this figure type.
Costume details can be stra
| tegically placed to flatter. For
| full hips, a pocket at the bodice
| would be good. For slim hips,
a pocket or other detail on the
skirt should be used. Narrow
belts, “V"™ necks, pointed col
lars, set in, threequarter leng
th sleeves are good pointers
for the full figure type.
What fabrics are best for the
tall-full figure? Prints, of
rcou.rse, should be moderate in
‘size, preferably against a dark-
| er background. Smooth sur
faced, non-lustrous fabrics are
most flattering. Avoid bulky
fabries that are too erisp.
As for color of fabries, dark
or medium tones will aid in
minimizing a full figure. Con
trasting colors ean be used
cleverly to advantage. Exam
ples would be the lighter tone
“V” neck dickey, vertical pan
i el or drape on a dark dress.

w’ APPLE RINGS
| AS GARNISHES
{ Garnishes are important to
| the family meal in that they
| increase the eye appeal of the
food to make it look more ap
| petizing. It is usually simple,
appropriate in slaver, color and
| texture so it will complement
other food on the table,
What could be more fitting
to this description of a garnish
than apple rings? Today, let’s
outline the proceduce for pre
paring this food garnish.
Choose medium sized, good
| shaped, bright red apples which
{hold their shape when cooked
{and are just ripe. One and a
half pounds of apples will make
| about a pint.
| Wash the apples in cold
water. Core, then slice in 1/4
inch rings. To prevent discol-
Eoration, deop the slices into
salt-vinegar water. The salt
vinegar water mixture should
contain two tablespoons of salt
and vinegar in one gallon of
water.
Now, vou will want to firm
lt.he apples. Dissolve one cup of
calcium chloride in one gallon
of water, heating it to a boil
Place the apple rings in a co
lander and run cold water over
them. Drain and place the ap
ple rings in boiling water and
blanch for 3 1/2 minutes. Af
ter this process, soak the ap
ple rings in cold water for five
minutes and drajn.
Then, for the final process be
fore serving, prepare a heavy
sirup by dissolving four cups
of sugar in one quart of water.
i Add food coloring until you
r get color you want. Then, bring
{ the solution to a boil and boil
| for five minutes. Drop the
}dramed apple rings in the
| boiling sirup. Allow the sirup
lto return to a rolling boil and
let it simmer for 30 minutes.
]Set the sauce pan off the heat
and allow the apple rings to
cool in the sirup. |
‘ Put them in the refrigeratorl
for cooling before serving. Or,
! you may want to can some of
these tasty apple rings. If so,
that will involve a little extra
processing. I would be glad to
' provide you with the directions
for canning them.
' When all is said and done,
| apple rings are hard to beat
las a garnish. Os course, you
can also select garnishes from
spiced muscadines, spiced crab
| apples, spiced pears and others.

l BANANAS ALL YEAR
Have you ever wondered
‘why you are able to buy ba
nanas throughout the year?
’Well_ that’s because bananas
have no peak season. They are
§ available every month in fair
|ly equal supply because the
‘bananas can be planted year
round and the fruit matures
‘commuous' ly.

| sttt o it
{into contact with them. Equip
{ portable electric light with heavy
gduty cords and protective guards.
| Have an emergency water
| supply readily available. A farm
| pond with pumping equipment and
| adequate hose can give a good
‘ supply.
| And, finallly, be sure every
} member of the family knows how
to call the nearest fire protection

| TB Can Strike
Entire Family
Father, mother and five
| children all ill with active tu
berculosis. Surely that belongs
in the last century! It ought
to, but it happens today-—too
| often. Take the Miller family.
That isn’t their right name, of
’course. Father, mother and
| their five children aged two to
| ten, had moved around a lot.
| Mr. Miller had a small army
| disability pension and no job.
| The family of seven finally
settled in a shack outside the
city. They got their water from
|an old pump in the abandoned
lsrhoolhouse across the road.
Heat and cooking depended on
'an old eoal stove.
| The family did not call doc
|tors for ordinary illness, not
even for the birth of the chil
dren. So nothing was done
| about Mrs. Miller’s loss of
weight and growing weakness.
Even when she began to spit
up blood, nothing was done.
| But as the hemorrhages grew
worse and more frequent, her
| husband finally took her to
see the county health commis
sioner.
The county health depart
ment went into action. The
whole family was tested and
| X-rayed. The whole family had
active TB. All are now in a‘
| TB hospital.
| Tuberculosis still rages in|
families of low income. with |
| substandard housing, with no |
| doctor, and no knowledge ofi
{the public health services thati
| are available to them.
1 Overcrowding, ma!nuh'ition‘g
.| untended bouts of other illness, |
| all contribute to breakdown |
' with active tuberculosis. |
'| Though the fight against TB iCI
| gaining ground, the battle is |
‘| far from won while there are |
| cases like the Miller's. a’
|| Though TB is most common |
|| under poor living conditions, it |
| can strike anybody. To be on |
' the safe side, everyone should |
1 get an annual tuberculin test |
| and a chest X-ray if the reac- |
| tion is positive. |

Average G. .
' Home Mortaage
Life is 816 Y
e Is.
GI home mortgages, guaran
teed by the Veterans Admini
stration, have an average life
expectancy ranging from about
eight years to 16 1/2 years, ac
cording to a VA survey re
ported today.
The loans with an average
life expectancy of eight years
were those with an original
maturity of 15 years or less,
while those estimated to have
a 16 1/2 year average life ex
pectancy were loans with an
original maturity of 30 years.
The 20 year loans are ex
pected to stay on the books of
private lenders for almost 11
years and the 25 year loans
for nearly 14 years, A. W.
Tate, Manager, Veterans Ad
ministration Regional Office,
Atlanta, Georgia, explained.
The estimates were based on
the actual termination experi
ence on GI home loans from
the beginning of the program
in 1944 through 1960 and an
estimated projection of termi
nation rates during the remain
ing life of each mortgage
group.
Mr. Tate stressed that the
estimated life expectancies are

averages, and that many of
the loans will be held to their
maturity.
Loan terminations, as used
in the study, were those loans
reported by lenders as paid in
full, plus a small percentage of
loans ended by foreclosure.
Most of the paid-in-ful loans,
Mr. Tate believes, resulted
from the sale of homes by vet
erans moving into larger homes
or to different localities. GI
loans may be paid off in full
at any time without penalty to
the veteran borrower.
Mr. Tate said that nearly
33,000 home loans in Georgia
totaling more than $330 mil
lion have been paid in full
Since the program started,
108,853 GI home loans, valued
at more than $926 million were
granted.
VA has had to pay claims on
only 2,890 home loans, about
2.6 percent of the total number
closed.

are obtained by using only

Take yvour choice when you heat your home
electrically! There are various methods. Two
of the most popular are:
THE BASEBOARD HEATER: Small, neat, it fits
snugly against the wall, blends with any
decor. It supplies plenty of uniform heat.
THE HEAT PUMP: Automatic control gives you
the best of both winter heat and summer
cooling. You can just set it and forget it
OTHER SYSTEMS are available, too. All fypes
of electric heat are flameless, quiet, safe and
clean. Their economy will amaze you.
Why put up with inadequate or outdated
equipment another year? Have your favo:ite
style electric heating system installed now
before winter sets in. Call your electrical
contractor. He'll be glad to give you details.
