This pup was “carried away” by
the fact that up to nine pounds of
. clothes can be washed at one time
in this automatic washer. A large
armload of clothes can be dumped
or shoved into the automatic at
one time. The pup was included in
this load. He was rescued, however,
before the top-loading door was
closed and the washing begun.
Dirt is also carried away in the
modern automatic washer that does
everything but sort the clothes. To
set the whirlpool in motion it is
only necessary to set the timer and
water - temperature dials. The en
tire washing, rinsing and damp
drying cycle is completely auto
matic thereafter.
Clothes receive a thorough wash
ing with agitator water action,
four downward-pressure whirling
spray rinses, one deep rinse in 16
j gallons of water, and two addi
' tional spray rinses. Finally they
are spun at 500 r.p.m. to emerge
' damp dry and thoroughly wrung
out.

Don’t allow heifers to get fat,
but keep them in a thrifty condi
tion, advise livestock specialists
for the Agricultural Extension
Sarvice, University of Georgia.
Floriculturists for the Agricul
tural Extension Service of the
University of Georgia say that
you can apply manure to your
dahlia beds during November
and December.
Winter pastures should be di
vided into two or more plots so
as to allow rotational grazing,,
according to agronomists for the
Agricultural Extension Service,
University of Georgia.
For green manure, turn Aus
trian winter peas under at least
two weeks before planting the
crop to follow, according to
agronomists for the Agricultural
Extension Service, University of
Georgia.
Hairy, common and smooth
vetch are adapted to the entire
state, according to agronomists
for the Agricultural Extension
Service of the University of Geor

Wintering is usually the most
expensive phase of cattle produc

The top ten tunes of the week
as selected from your cards and letters
Compiled by
NELSON KING and MARTY ROBERTS
Hi ya friends and neighbors: Here
we are right on time again with
our weekly visit with youall
through the columns of this news
paper of yours. We’ve got some
fresh gossip about the guys and
gals in the country music business
. . . and of course, our tabulation
of your pick of the ten best tunes
of the week as we play ’em on
the WCKY Jamboree. So . . . here
we go . . . RED FOLEY’S new
recording of “Don’t Let the Stars
Get in Your Eyes” is hitting
plenty of success in the pop field
as well as country music. He’s
backed up with a big orchestra
directed by Dick Stabile . . . the
baton swinger who conducts for
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis . . .
RED PERKINS who used to re
cord for King is now making rec
ords under the name of “KEN
TUCKY RED.” He’s really got
something on the ball. . . and just
might go somewhere . . . one of
our scouts reports on a recent
trip to Eskimoland up in Labra
dor, where he found the Eskimos
doing their version of square
dances to country style radio
music coming from one of the sta
tions in the Ohio Valley . . . here’s
one we like — SMILEY BUR
NETTE received some of the top
money offers of his career for
Christmas week . . . but turned
them all down. Reason? He pre
fers to spend Christmas with his
wife, two daughters and two sons
at home . . . okey, eh? . . . HERE’S
OUR TIP FOR THE FUTURE ...
Keep your ears set for the YORK
BROS, version of “TENNESSEE
TANGO.”
New Safety Hunting Clothes
FOR many years, hunters have been confused over safety
colors to wear in the fields. Somehow, red was selected as
a color that would not draw fire from another hunter. The
color red, it develops, is no bargain. Figures
show hunters wearing red were no safer
than those wearing other colors.
Some progress is being made. A new type
fabric of daylight fluorescent is being used
in the manufacture of hunting garments.
It is the best of the lot, so far. A variety
of colors will be available. This develop
ment should reduce hunting accidents
sharply.
*****
Fur Prospects
Trappers take note. Here is how the fur market looks
for this year. Mink is the big money item and in demand.
Muskrat prices are steady. There is a ready market for
skunk hides. Prices about the same as last year. Raccoon
prices will hold firm unless the catch is too large. Beavers
will bring the same prices as last year with good demand.
Fox will sell at low levels. That’s it.
*****
Eat and Stay Warm
Hints to hunters on keeping warm. The newly developed
hand warmer helps. The old method of heated bricks is
fading out. Too bulky and too much trouble. When sleeping
out, remember the cot or any suspended type bed lets the
cold air come under and Brrrr! It’s better to use your sleep
ing bag on the ground. Wool is the warmest type clothing.
Wool gloves are swell and gives you plenty of finger freedom.
A good wind-breaker is better than items like the sweater. A
good hot meal before going out is a big help. It is the best
of all the heating methods. Don’t try walking yourself cock
eyed to keep warm —it doesn’t work.
Useless, Foolish Killing
On the highway recently, near Homerville, I saw a car
ahead run off the pavement to smash a turtle. For the next
50 miles, I tried to figure what kind of man drove that car.
Perhaps the old turtle wasn’t worth much but the good Lord
put it here for some purpose.
The turtle was doing its best to cross the highway and
was not molesting anybody or anything. Yet that driver,
with murder in his heart, went dangerously out of his
way to kill it. Maybe I’m a little chicken-hearted about
such things but I wondered if that fellow experienced a
thrill at taking the life of the defenseless animal?
On another occasion, I saw a car deliberately swing across
the road to run over a small dog. This old typewriter doesn’t
have enough words to express my contempt for such a cow
ardly act. I kept remembering some small boy out looking
for his pet and I could mentally picture the tears in his eyes
when he found it. m
Most hunters are sportsmen. They seek game placed
on this earth to nourish them. I do not number among
my friends and acquaintances any who possess a raw
“lust” to kill for the sadistic pleasure of watching a living
thing die. I believe we all object to foolish, useless and
senseless killing of harmless, living things for no reason
other than it is within our power to do so. O. K.—l’m a

The Fountain of Youth may be a
matter of what you eat.
The typical intake of food for a
person over 55 years of age in this
country amounts to only 1500 to
2000 calories daily, or about half
the intake of a younger adult, ac
cording to Dr. Clive McCay, Cornell
University nutritionist.
“With this lowered intake of
food,” cautions Dr. McCay, “every
effort must be expended to insure
high quality in terms of essentials.”
Due to the lessening of an older
person’s food intake, many of the
essentials in the diet are lost.
The American Medical Associa
tion Handbook of Nutrition states
that as a result “low grades or
minor degrees of vitamin deficiency
can be assumed to be the rule
rather than the exception.”
The basic essentials in diet for
people of advancing years have
been outlined in a bulletin issued
by the Rybutol Laboratories of the
Vitamin Corporation of America.
The bulletin details the necessity
for a constant variety in choice of
foods, emphasizing the importance
of raw fruits and vegetables. Cal
oric intake should be gradually re
duced as a person grows older, pro
tein-rich foods should be included
in the diet, and fatty foods should
be avoided.
Careful selection of food alone
does not guarantee, the bulletin ex
plains, a nutritious diet.
Dr. Edward Steiglitz, noted med
ical writer, states, in discussing the
health problems of middle and older
age groups — “Insuring this may
require some supplementary ad
ministration of purified vitamins in
capsule form.”

Advertising...
IS NOT A "PASSING FAD"
- «
Successful business men, long ago, recognized that
ADVERTISING was a business necessity and all suc
cessful businesses —yesterday and today—were built
on service, quality and ADVERTISING.
Not Only do the successful business men of today rec
onize the business building ability of ADVERTISING
your Federal Government also considers it a method
of creating more and better business and as a result
when mapping the Income Tax this item was placed
on the list for exemption as promotional investment.
Try a regular advertisement in the columns of The

will recognize that you really "have something" if you
keep telling them about it through he columns of the
Wheeler County Eagle each and every week.
A planned ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN is sure to
