18—THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C„ December 12, 1968 HOW CAN I? Dandy Candy Racipa BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I make a key work In an outside lock during the win ter, when moisture has gotten in-' to the lock and frozen? A. Try heating your key a few times by holding it in the flame of a lighter or match, then work ing it gently back and forth in side the lock. Keep repeating un til the lock warms sufficiently to melt the ice inside. Q. How can I prevent old po tatoes from turning dark when boiled? A. By adding three or four tablespoons of milk or a slice of lemon to the cooking water. Vinegar can be substituted for the lemon. Q. How can I improvise a good starch? A. First, trim the nap from about 1/8 inch of the edge of the carpet, then coat the trimmed edges and the underside for about 1/2 inch with ordinary rubber ce ment. . .two applications may be necessary. Q. What is a good way to keep the bottom of my iron smooth? A. The habit of frequently rub bing the iron over a cloth that has been sprinkled with scour ing powder. Steel wool maybe used to remove any accumulated coatings. Q. How can I cope with carbon paper stains on clothing? A. Washables can be laundered in heavy suds. In the case of un- washables, sponge with denatured alcohol diluted with two parts of water, thenrinse by ponging with clear water. Q. Some of my woodwork shows a little white spot as the result of ah attack of mildew. How can I remedy this? A. Wash with water containing a little kerosene, or with soap and water. Standardpaint cleaner usually removes mildew from painted surfaces, such as around the woodwork. Q. How can I soften a stif fened chamois? A. By giving it a length rinse in two quarts of lukewarm water to which a tablespoon of olive oil has been added. Many other such easy-to-do hints are contained in my household manual. Q. How can I clean embroid ery on an article that cannot be laundered? A. Cover with a thick paste of alcohol and powdered chalk, roll up and lay away in a dark place for a few days -- then brush off the dry chalk. Q. How can I clean straw mat ting? A. Wash with a cloth dampened in hot salt water, using a hand ful of salt to a bucket of hot water. Wash only a small area at a time, and wipe dry at once. This also prevents the matting from yellowing. Q. How can I facilitate the job of stitching seams in heavy ma terials, such as denim, canvas, or draperies? A. If you'll rub the seams with a hard soap beforehand, your needle will go through much eas ier.

I Dear Sally BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: Doesn't ‘free dom of speech’ apply to every one, regardless of age? I’m a teenaged boy of 13, constantly be ing bugged by my parents just because I have opinions of my own. They keep giving me the business because I “talk back' to them and ‘argue’. Don’t you think kids have a right to speak their minds, instead of just sit ting back and accepting the Judg ments and advice of people who think they know it all just be cause they’ve been around 25 to 30 years longer? BUTTONED UP. DEAR BUTTONED UP: Of course there are different ways of ‘talking back’ and “arguing,; and people can do these things in pretty obnoxious ways, no mat ter what their ages may be. Gen erally speaking, though, kids should have the opportunity to speak their opinions, but having given them, they should be will ing to accept the decisions of those who ‘have been around 25 to 20 years longer,’ becuase you can’t deny that wisdom and judg ment DO mature with age! only thing that makes me hesi tate, because he happens to be a family man and needs the job. What do you advise? FED UP. DEAR FED UP: Best that you stay out of this. Sooner or later, if this fellow continues his tact less and unethical mouthings of these personal things about other people, he’ll trip himself up. One of the injured parties will wield the axe. DEAR SALLY: For three years I dated a certain fellow whom I liked very much, although there was nothing really serious be tween us, never any mention of marriage. This was all right with me, because I was dating other fellows and still am. He was just a good fellow to be with, and we had lots of fun together. Today, though, I received a big shock. I learned that he has become engaged to another girl whom I didn’t even know he has been dating. Now I realize that I care for him much more than I dreamed, and I think if he knew this he would come back to me. Should I tell him how I feel? SECOND THOUGHTS. DEAR SALLY: There’s a cer tain loose-lipped guy working in our building and loan company who goes around telling every body in town who owes what on his home, and who pays what mon thly mortgage installments. These bits of personal informa tion this fellow persists in broad casting are embarrassing plenty of people I happen to know, and it makes me plenty angry. Do you th-nk I’d be justified in tipping off our boss about this? I’m sure he’d fire the guy, and that’s the DEAR SECOND THOUGHTS: And so ‘true love’ didn’t blos som until you discovered that someone else had corralled the man! It’s odd how a property on which someone else has staked a claim suddenly seems so much more valuable. Find yourself another romance, and forget about this man. DEAR SALLY: Is a couple with adopted children under any obli gation to satisfy the curiosity of relatives and friends regarding the background and history of their chilton? We’ra constantly on the racalvtag end of each questions, even inquiries as to whether the real parents were married. How do we handle this? ON THE SPOT. DEAR ON THE SPOT: These are friends? Your best answer to the tactless, ill-bred questions of these busybodies is no answer at all. * * * PC IUcaWm $1050 From GE Presbyterian College received $4,050 through the General Elec tric Foundation’s Corporate A- lumnus Program, according to a Foundation announcement Presbyterian was one of 751 schools benefiting from the Cor porate Alumnus Program in 1967, when 8,574 General Electric em ployees contributed $1,017,032 to institutions of higher learning.
