Organization of the work to be done is the best way to approach any job â€" even the family laundry . With a decided pl«n, your big job falls into several imall jobs, no one of which seema overwhelming. You also save time by eliminating waste motion. WTiat jobs used to be done before actaal washing? All m«nding should be done before, becai/se tears and rips are likely to enlarge dis eouragingly during the washing pro- cess. All stains should be removed because soapy water sets many stains How should I sort clothes before washing? \STiite clothes: (1) table linen; (2) sheets, pillow cases, lightly soiled towels; (3) cotton underwear, shirts, heavy soiled towels. Coloured clothes: (1) light coloured; (2) dark- coloured; (3) colours that may run. Set aside fine fabrics for special handling and stained clothes for treatment. What can be done about very hard water? Soft water requires less soap and makete clothes whiter than hard water. Washing soda and trisodium phosphate are good water softeners but should not be used in washing rayon or part wool and rayon fab- rics. Some "brand" softeners may be used according to directions. Too much softener may turn fabrics yel- low. Do clothes have to be soaked? Soaking loosens soil, and, therefore, is helpiful in washing dirty clothes. A fifteen-minute soaking is ample and cool water is better than hot for tliis purpose. How to keep white clothes soak- ed? Hot washing water, the right amount of soap, thorough rin'sing & wringing are the answers to that question. Fill the machine two- thirds full of hot water. If you use a water softener, add the correct amount according to the manufae- turer'ii directions. Measure the soap allowing enough to make a 2-inch Buds after machine has been opera- ted for about 2 mins. Do not use more soap than needed. Wash a few clothes at one time â€" for a good wa.shing, clothes must move freely through the suds. Operate the ma uii amount of soil in clothes â€" 20 nins. for stubborn dirt. Before add- ing another load to machine, be sure .vater is hot, soapy and not too Jirty. Rinse clothes three times in sift and softened water, hot, warm, .hen cool. Soap left in a -fabric :urns it yellow. If you wish to add )luing, add it sparingly, according ;o manufacturer's directions. Keep :!othe.< in motion while bluing to ,revent streaking. A plunger is useful to assist in forcing out soapy water. How do I keep colours clear and •light? First make sure colours are ru'o-fast by soaking a small sample )iece in warm water 10 mins. If (lours run, handle the garment separately. Before washing soak it :n salt and water or baking soda and â- vater for a few minutes. The wash water should be only lukewarm and the cleaning should be done in a few minutes. Wring as dry as possible after rinsing and dry quickly. Why are clothes starched? The purpose of starching is to restore the original finish to fabrics. As starch gives a smooth surface that repels dirt and stains, it is es.pecial- iy desirable for housedresses, aprons and children's clothes. Many women like to starch Itnerfs very lightly. Hothes should be starched after the â- ist rinse. Proper quantities are im- Possible to list because the amount •f starch a garment absorbs varies vi^h the weave and weight of the ^laterial and the temperature of the vater. You have to learn by exper- â- ^nce. Remember that the hotter ♦he starch the more will be absorb ^d. Use a warm, thin starch solu •ion. Wring out as much as possible â- nd let 'starched clothes dry thor- "uerhly before sprinkling. How to hang clothes ? As the clothes are put through the last rinse, watch out for unnecessary folds to prevent wrinkles. Fold big flat pieces so they won't pull com- er-wise. Put the clothes into the basket in some order â€" sheets in one end, towels in the other, small ar- ticles flat on top. Shake out and smooth clothes to make ironing eas- ier. In general, hang clothes by the heaviest, firmest portion. For sheets and tablecloths hem to hem and place on line so that hemmed e^ges hang over 8 to 12 inches. Give clothes dried indoors ventila- tion with open windows or fan. N'ever hang wet clothes in a paper- :-<i room; moisture may loosen the vallpaper. Fold things carefully as you take them down. You have to iron out those additional wrinkles. Use a clean stiff brush or a bottle with a fine perforated cap to sprinkle the clothe--. Cover with a heavy towel. Iron in 2 or 8 hours' time. Inviting a friend to his wedding anniversary, MacTavish explained: â- 'We're on the seventh floor. Apart- ment D. Just touch the button with you elbow.'' "And why S'hould I use my el- bow?" "Well, for heaven's sake! You're chine from 10 to 15 mins., depending] not coming empty-handed, are you?" KIMBERLEY Remembrance Day was appropri- ately observed on Sunday. Rev. L E.

War haa taught a lot of those in uniform â€" and their parent*, too â€" to rely on teleplioues more than ever.

Much of the preliminary work already had been done when war interrupted the program extending rural telephone service.
