HOMEMADE CLEANING
PREPARATIONS,
PART ONE
Cleaning suprlies for all the
various materials in the home
can run into money. Some
homemade preparations are
i’ust as effective and cost very
ittle to make.
Homemade Cleaning Polish
— Place 1 tablespoons turpen
tine, 3 tablespoons boiled
linseed oil and Fquart of hot
water in the upper part of a
double boiler. Do not place mix
ture over direct heat as turpen
tine is inflammable! Fill the
lower part of the double boiler
with boiling water to keep the
mixture warm. Dip a soft cloth
into the solution and squeeze
until it no longer drips. Go over
the surface covering a small
area at a time. Continue until
entire piece is covered. This
solution can be used on all clear
finishes to clean and condition
wood.
Homemade Lemon Polish
for Furniture — Mix equal
parts of denatured alcnh(fl or
denatured alcohol solvent,
fresh strained lemon juice (do
not use canned or frozen juice),
olive oil, gum turpentine.
Shake mixture each time
before using. This polish keeps
indefinitely.
Polish for oil-Rubbed Finish
— For new furniture rub once
a month for the first 3-4
months with a mixture of '
boiled linseed oil and ': gum
turpentine. Use a dry, coarse
cloth to rub mixture into the
pores of the wood. Wipe off
surplus until wood appears
dry. For older furniture, rub
especially the top of the table
every 6-8 months with a mix
ture of 23 boiled linseed oil and
Y 5 gum turpentine (not steam
distilled). Apply to underside of
table leaves to prevent
warping.
Cleanser for Fireplace
Bricks — Fireplace bricks can
be cleaned with a solution of 1
gallon warm water, and "4 cup
cup tri-sodium phosphate. If a
stronger treatment is needed,
a diluted solution (1 part acid
— 8 parts water) of muriatic
acid can be used. Follow im
mediately with a thorough
water rinse. Caution: Handle
the solution carefully. Wear
rubber gloves. The acid can
damage fabric and wood
surfaces.
Floor Cleaner — One gallon
warm water, 1 cup mild %iquid
detergent, 3-oz. household am
monia; or, with soft water, in
place of detergent, use I'2 cups
mild soap powder. One-fourth
cup of tri-sodium phosphate
may be added if heavily soiled.
Rinse the floor with warm
water and dry before rewaxing.
Use water sparingly on wood.
The annual meeting of the members of
First Federal Savings and Loan Associa
tion of Summerville, Georgia will be held
at the home office of the Association on
East Washington Street, in Summerville,
Georgia at 2:00 o'clock p.m. on the 18th

HOMEMADE CLEANING
PREPARATIONS,
PART TWO
Laminated plastic surfaces
— These surfaces, like table
and counter tops, require
regular washing with mild soap
or deterfient. furniture wax
or ?olis srecifically for this
surface will help preserve the
luster.
Glass or Crystal — Wash
with a hot detergent solution;
rinse and polish with a lintless
cloth. For stains and
cloudiness, fill with water con
taining one or two teaspoons
ammonia and let stand for
several hours or overnight.
Wash and rinse again.
Cleaning uphoti'stered fur
niture — Vacuum the furniture
thoroughly. Make a solution of
one teaspoon mild detergent
and one quart warm water.
Work this into a lather and
uf)ply only the suds with a
cloth or sponge using a rotary
motion. Be sure to get into the
crevices. A ruler may help.
Scrape all the soiled suds.
Rinse by wiping with a towel
that has been (fixmpened with
clear water and wrung almost
dry. To hasten drying, use an
electric fan.
Water or heat marks —
These marks on furniture can
be removed by rubbing with
regular cooking oil. Pour a few
drops of the ofi onto the spot,
dip yvour fingertips into the oil
and into some saft and rub the
area. If persistent, cover the
spot with more oil and leave for
several hours.
Animal Stains — These are
extremely difficult to remove
and once they dry are almost
impossible, so it is important
to work quickly. Blot up excess
liquid. Make a solution of one
teaspoon neutral deter&vm and
one cup warm water. Work up
a lather and apply just the
lather. Blot with tissue. Then
mix a solution of '3 cup white
vinegar and 3 cup warm
water. Moisten the area slight
ly with the solution and allow
it to set for 2-3 minutes. Ab
sorb the remaining solution
with tissues. Lastly, place a
layer of tissues ': incg thick
over the area and weight down
with books for six hours.
Shampoo for general carpet
cleaning - vacuum carpet
thoroughly. Mix one teaspoon
mild liquid detergent, one teas
poon white vinegar, and one
quart warm water. Whip up to
a good lather either with the
hand or an electric beater. App
ly just the suds with a sponge
or use an electric or manual
shampooer. Do not soak! Wipe
off the suds with a towel dip

Tips For Town And
Couniry Living
UNDERLIMING VS.
OVERLIMING
The strength of acids is
stated somewhat like the size
or gauge of wire, in which the
smaller the number in the
scale, the heavier the wire. The
range of soil acidity is called
the pH scale. Here also, the
smaller the pH value the
stronger the acid. Soils may
have the same pH value and
still differ greatly in lime re
quirements. The clay content
of soils is what makes this dif
ference and a sandy loam soil
with 12 percent clay will not re
quire much lime to change its
acidity from pH 5.0 to 6.5, but
a clay loam with a clay content
of 24 percent would require
about twice as much to pro
duce the same change in pH.
Overliming soils (above 7.5)
may upset the balance of
magnesium or potassium in
side plants. If one of these
nutrients gets too great inside
plants, it cuts down the func
tion of the other and trouble
may result.
A pH of 7 to 7.5 will pro
bably not present a problem
with most vegetables, Babbagv
and Irish potatoes should not
be planted on soils with this
high a pH. If sweet corn is
planted in soil with this high
pH then additional zine should
be added (equivalent of 3
pounds per acre).
The safe thing to do is soil
test early. If lime is recom
mended, put it on several
months before planting the
garden and only put on the
amount recommended.
BULB FERTILIZATION
Spring flowering bulbs
should be fertilized as they
emerge from soil in late winter
and early spring. Current
recommendations, derived
from recent research findings,
call for an application of
10-10-10 or 8-8-8-fertilizer.
10-10-10 is applied at the rate
of 1%2-2 levelpteaspoons per
square foot of area while the
sug%est.ed rate of 8-8-8 is 1
level tablespoon per square
foot of area around emerging
bulb foliage. Fertilization not

only benefits growth but aids
in perennializing bulbs.
HEAVY PRUNING
Heavy pruning required to
get plants back in scale with
their surroundings needs to be
completed by mid-March. You
might say this is the last call
for this type of pruning. Prun
ing back heavily is accomplish
ed prior to new growth. Follow
ing this principal, food stored
in the roots is utilized as an
energy source to promote
vigorous new growth.
Carpentry Course
Coosa Valley Tech will offer
a basic carpentry class. It is an
80-hour class that teaches the
student to work with building
materials, power tools, buildin

Finding
Veterans
Difficult
Anyone seeking assistance
from Lfi,e Veterans Administra
tion in trying to locate a
veteran wil{discover that the
VA is limited, by law, to the ex
tent that it can help find the
veteran. The VA will try to for
ward a letter to the veteran.
After that, it's ui to the
veteran to contact the sender
of the letter if the veteran so
desires.
Georgia Commissioner of
Veterans Affairs Pete Wheeler,
said, *The proper procedure is
to write a letter to the veteran
gnd\rplage it jn an unsealed
envelope showing no return ad
dress, but bearin% the
veteran's name, with sufficient
postage to cover mailing costs.
A covering letter to the VA
should be included, giving com
plete identifying information
about the veteran, such as his
full name, date of birth, last
known address, service serial
number, ‘C’ number if known,
social security number, last
military address, rank and date
of discharge.”
If the address is located, the
VA will put it on the envelope
and forward the letter to tfie
veteran. Should no information
be available or the letter be
returned to the VA, the
writer's original letter, but not
the envelope, will be sent back
by the VA.
In cases of multiple re
quests, the VA is authorized to
charge a search fee of $2 per re
quest. This fee was instituted
when the VA started receiving
long lists of veterans whose
whereabouts were being
sought by persons planning
reunions.
Wheeler emphasized, *‘ln
no event will letters be for
warded to aid in the collection
of debts or for the purpose of
canvassini, harassin% or pro
paganda. Nor will a letter be
forwarded if the contents
might be considered harmful to
the physical or mental health of
the intended recipient.”
Persons desiring to locate a
veteran whose address is
unknown may get assistance in
following these procedures by
contacting any office of the
Georgia Department of
Veterans Service.
