Zippers When a zipper is difficult to work, pick-up a bit of petroleum jelly on a thin stick and push it down into holes on each side of the gadget that closes logs. Close zipper half way, add a bit more lubricant, finish closing zipper, and wipe away excess. Work zipper up and down to complete job. Patching sheets When patching sheets sew a little colored thread in the hem. This way you can tell whether a sheet is patched or not before unfolding it. If it is badly patched, put in two colors of thread. This saves time and embarrassment when company comes.

tion officers, was present with several, of his muzzleloading rifles. He demonstrated the care and use of the antique guns. The offices also brought in some modern day firearms pointing out safety and care. A test is given at the end of the units with those receiving a score of 70 per cent or better receiving a certificate card and patch from the officers. Officer Foder believes the program is beneficial to the community. “Regardless of what you do or how much you do, you’re v always going to have offenders of the law but you try to get the point across — firearm safety is the key.”

The Kosciusko Conservation Department cooperates with the schools throughout the county in presenting the units on education and safety to increase public awareness. To find out more information about the program contact the Conservation Department by calling the Kosciusko County Sheriff Department or during the business day call the Tri-County Fish & Wildlife Preserve.
