Wise Shopping Saves the Clothing Dollar ATHENS—Stretching the clothing dollar today is hard for even the budget-wise shopper. There are, however, several good-sense ideas which can help your money go further, says Miss Margie Mclntyre, clothing specialist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service. Where you shop is impor tant. Learn store policy on merchandise and returning items. Don’t be afraid to shop in the best stores. Miss Mclntyre says even the most expensive stores have some moderately priced clothes. They all have seasonal sales. In any case you will get to see some of the better garments and will be a better shopper for having looked. Don’t count on paying cheap prices for durable goods. It’s false economy, the Extension specialist points out. While price is not an indication of quality, it is a clue. Shop sales. But remember that sale items are not return able. Be sure whatever you buy on sale fits you, fits into your wardrobe plan and if damaged or soiled, can be mended or cleaned without unreasonable expense. Don’t discount catalog shopping. Staple items such as shirts, jeans, sleepwear, lingerie and hosiery are usually cheaper when ordered from one of the large mail order houses. This method can certainly save you time. Time is money to many people. By knowing approxi mately what you want ard where you are most likely to find it before you shop, you will save time. The Extension specialist says accessorize clothes as you buy them. Don’t try to buy these important items in a hurry. They will probably cost more than necessary and will not be enjoyed as much as they could have been with more thought given to the selection. Economy-wise clothes double for more than one occasion. A dressy raincoat might double for an evening wrap. A coat with a zip-out lining may be worn year-round. Shoes dyed to match an outfit may be re-dyed black or dark brown to wear on another occasion. Being label conscious is one of the most important ways to be economical in clothing selection. When special clean ing or laundering instructions are given, be sure you can take the extra time and trouble. Miss Mclntyre says the age old practice of stretching your wardrobe with mix-and-match skirts, shirts and slacks still holds today. Plan an outfit this way and see how it works for you. Look for new fashion sources. Let your imagination soar. Cording and chain sold by the yard in drapery and hard ware departments make great belts or jewelry. Jimmy Carter jsthe winner Who says you can t beat bloc votes, big money and political bosses? Jimmy Carter did. Because people from farms, factories and of fices went to the polls by the hun dreds of thousands to speak up for Carter. We took 150 counties to win a sweeping upset in the Democratic primary. Be sure your county s for Carter so we can go all the way. And make it 159. Let s not be overconfident. Jimmy needs our help to finish the job. Speak up in the run-off Septem ber 23. Vote for Jimmy Carter, our kind of man, our kind of Governor. Let’s put Jimmy over the top. Vote in the run-off September 23. Veterans May Receive On-the-Job Training Men studying to oe waste -water treatment plant operators may ap ply for on-the-job tr aining under the G.I. Bill after they leave mili tary service, the Veter ans Administration said today. Administrator of Ve terans Affairs Donald E. Johnson used the waste water training opport unity as an example to show how VA is incr easing on-the-job trai ning programs in areas of public need. He revealed that 30 servicemen are now ta lking college courses in Maryland in the first phase of a program to train them to operate waste water treatment plants. Mr. Johnson po inted out the VA comes into the picture in the second phase of the pro gram, when these 30 (and others who enroll later) complete their a cademic training, leave military service and then continue with on the-job training under the G.I. Bill . Each eligible veteran will receive a monthly check from the VA, at the same time he draws at least half the sa lary of the job for which । he is training at the Democrats to Convene me Georgia Demo cratic Party will hold its quadrennial state con vention in the new Macon Coliseum Oct. 7, party chairman James H. Gray of Albany announced. An 1 estimated 7,000-10,000 Relegates and guests will attend to nominate of ficially the winners in the Democratic primary. wastewater treatment plant. The VA will pay the veteran SIOB a month for the first six months if he has no dependents, $l2O a month if he has one dependent, and $133 a month if he has two or more dependents. Every six months,the VA scales down its mon thly payments until the veteran completes his wastewater treatment job training, generally in about 44 weeks. Du ring the course of the training, the veteran’s wage is increased on a regular schedule. Requirements for ve terans vary with locat ion, but they usually call for a high school diplo ma, or the equivalent in training and experience. The VA Administra tor said eligible veter ans interested in apply ing for on-the-job train ing at wastewater tre atment plants should co ntact their nearest VA office. The VA is coopera ting with the Departme nt of Defense and the Federal Water Quality Administtration of the Department of Interior in the program, John son said. He noted that a recent recommendation of the President’s Committee on the Vietnam Veteran urged the VA to develop additional on-the-job programs in the areas of public need. Accordingly, plans are under way to init iate training programs in various areas of pub lic need-health care, education, recreation, welfare and pollution control. L •* !

Georgia vegetable growers lose thousands of dollars every year because of low pH or soil acidity. Extension horticul turists say vegetables can’t grow to their full potential if pH is below 6.0 or 6.5. Dolomitic lime will correct the situation. The horticulturists recommend a soil test, and lime if the pH is below 6.0. Homeowners often wonder if there is a chemical that will make lawn and flower garden soil loose and crumbly. There is no such chemical at the present time, say Cooperative Extension Service specialists. The most useful product for loosening compacted clay soils is still organic matter—peat moss, leaf mold, pine bark, etc.
