STATELETS TEH HIGHWAY CONTRACTS Wc rk T<jtals~More Than Million/ Dollars Ten construe.ion contracts for ft improvement work on state high- ' ways in LaPorte. Marion. Hen_ 1 chicks* V. hitler. G-awford. Van-;! derburgh, Brown, Wayne, Wa- • bash, Union and Howard counties, were awarded by the State 1 Highway Commission during < September, Earl Crawford, chair- ‘ man, reported today. < The ten contracts call for the expenditure of 81 ,081 , 024.14 - which will be met from state and from federal-aid funds.. W T ith the . * award of these contracts, the highway commission has acted on , all projects on which bids haveff been taken. u Among the road projects on| which awards were made during) September were; reconstruction af|. Road 40 between Indianaporis and i 4 Cumberland as a dual-lane high-ft way, paving gaps and relocations , cn Road 30 northwest of Columbia City, surfacing Road 62 from Road 66 to northeast of Leavenworth, drainage work on Road 43 at Michigan City and on Road 135 south of Mo-gantown, and pavement widening and sewer construction on Road 66 at Dansville.

Work is already in progress on 1 most of the contracts and will be * continued as long as weather conditions permit. Erosion Reduced by t Moving; Fence Lines ‘ ■ I s Old fence lines, which general- r ly followed original iarni surveys, I roads, or more often Uie personalwhim of the ft.st owner, often aie real ranged by farmers who are trying- to coiurol soil erosion by I fa ming wi.ii the “lay of tired land.” A recent national survey by the Sod Conservation Service disclosed that the farmers -cooperating I with the e .osion-comrol agency have constructed or reallocated I approximately 14,000 nites. s os fencing during the past 3 years. One of the moot important reasons |or changing held boundaries; has been the widespread adoption! of- contour cultivation—the prac_ , tice of running crop rows around! sloping fields instead of up and down the hillsides—Service offici-! als say. Farmers also are using fences to protect new wooU.anus — 'and woodlands in which erosion con.! trol is under way—from grazing, to keep livestock out of gullies that are being stabilized with veg-' etaden, farm ponds, areas retired to permanent grass, and other places on the farm where trampling and overgrazing would lead to accelerated soil erosion. l _ " . I Fire-Fighters Get Needs in Parachutes — Emergency p. rachutes made from pieces of burlap about 6 feet! squaie have been used successfully by the United States Foiest Service to drop food aid Ciher supplies from airplanes for men on remote fire fighting lines in the na.ionaj forests. Large builap sacks, used hi bagging wool, generally are used to make .he para.. • chute. ,' ■ ‘ | In one experiment 9 dozen eggs were dropped 500 .'eet in one of tne home_rhaae parachutes and only two eggs were orokem F<i.-d in gjdss jars, canned miik, water, and even tools, Lave Le.n dropped to Said the fire figh.ers. Such c.e_) livbrylsaves much needed time in emergencies. ; .. * ' - "•■>?

• . • City Man, Farmer Housing Contrast When the city family outgrows a house, it can buy or build elsewhere. But the farm family cannot do this. For this reason, says Wallace Ashby, of the Bureau of; Agricultural Engineering, the farm home should be so planted that without too much expense convenient small homes can grow into convenient large ones. Too many farm l.onies, also, i he says, are planned from the outside in rather than from the I inside out, and too many are modeled after city homes. The life of the farm family diffe s in 'many ways from that of the city family, lhe back door swings much more often than lhe front. Usually there are more activities! in the farm kitchen than in the city kitchen, lhe fa: m kitehen can be larger, but it does not need to be a trafficway between the back door and the front rooms. Often the farm family needs mo. e bedroom space than fine city family. The bulletin Farmhouse Plans' (F. B. 1738) contains plans fori. 40 farmhouses. Farmers’ Bulletin! 1749, Modernizing farmhouses, I has plans for remodeling. Theyj may be obt-ined by writing to the United States Department of Agri-I culture, Washington, D. C. Embalmers Clinics Open This Month a Indianapolis, Oct. 7.- Three educational clinics for Indiana! embalmers were scheduletl for this month by Robert E. Kirby, secretary of the State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors. lhe first was held October 5, Elkhart Hotel, Elkhart, lhe next will be October 12, Vendon.e Hotel, Evansville; and October 19, Indiana University medical center, Indianapolis. Mr. Kirby explained that Indiana embalmers are required to attend a five-hour educational clinic in order to have their licenses renewed. Aithbugh three clinics have been held, 200 embalmers have not qualified by attending the clinics, he said. Educational sound motion pictures and lectures are included on the clinic programs. Urges Women Ho Buy Hosiery intelligently “To buy hosiery w isely and ‘ well we must know the nvcessa yl signs pointing toward serviceabit-■ ity,” says Miss Frieda C. Stolt, extension clothing specialist of ! Purdue University, trice and high style in color are not guides to 1 long wear. I ‘•Hosiery made from good qual-l ' ity silk will be clear and free 'from blemishes in me yam,” Miss Stoll says. A well made stocking ! has sufficient elasticity to allow for freedom of movement" without ; bursting out at the knee or caus-' ing a run. If you can stretch the top bli to 6 inches and across the 1 ankle about 3 inches you should have a good stocking. Guage plays an important part in the lite of a silk hose, ’xhe guage is the means of measuring the number of ribs in the top of j; i the slocking. Tne number of ribs to every one and one-half inches determines the guage. A higher Iguage. A higher gauge will give! 'a more elastic fabric. The in-1 creased number of ribs will allow for a more easy fit, according to Miss Stoll. ! A recent development in hosiery construction is that of hosiery pro-! portioned to the wearer. It is now! possible not bnly to buy stockings in ditt’e ent lengths but also properly proportioned at tne 1 knee,! calf and ankle. When buying hosiery check for variations in wiuth of leg as well as in the ‘ lengths, but net in width, the hose are not really proportioned. ! i Conect length is very important for good wear. If the is ! too sho. i a hole wi»l develop iiv the toe of a new stocking. If the! heel works under in all probability this annoyance ern be overcome by weaiing a longet Hpse. One Dollar a Year | ?
