HOW CAN I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I remove burnt
marks from furniture?
A. If not too deeply embed
ded, they will sometimes vanish
when rubbed with your usual
polish. If this fails, try using
rottenstone or finely powdered
pumice, mixed to a thin paste
with raw or boiled linseed oil.
Rub in the direction of the grain.
Wipe with another cloth moist
ened with plain linseed oil. Re
peat a number of times, if neces
sary, then polish.
Q. How can I strengthen glass
ware, and make it less fragile?
A. Put your glassware into a
vessel, filled with slightly salt
ed water, which you allow to come
slowly to a boil. The slower your
boiling, the hardier your glass
ware will be.
Q. How can I make a gela
tin dessert quickly when time is
at a premium?
A. Mix the gelatin with only
enough hot water to dissolve it,
then use ice water for the re
maining amount of liquid. The
gelatin will set in just a few
munites. Add fruit if you wish,
but be sure it is ice-cold.
Q. How can I make my own
handy household glue?
A. One good formula consists
of one cup of granulated laundry
starch to which is added enough
water to produce a liquid of whip
ping-cream consistency. Bring
this mixture to a boil, then al
low to cool.
Q. How can I prepare a good,
economical, antique-like stain
for pine wood?
A. Strong tea, diluted with a
little water, makes a very good
one. When dry, cover with two
thin coats of fresh white shel
lac, and when that has dried,
wax for a fine finish.
Q. How can I soften a stiffen
ed chamois?
A. By giving it a lengthy rinse
in two quarts of lukewarm water
to which a tablespoon of olive
oil has been added. Many other
such easy-to-do household tips
are included in my new book.
Q. What is a quick remedy for
a loose tile in the hearth of a
fireplace?
A. Lift out the loose tile, pour
in hot paraffin, then quickly re
place the tile, and it should re
main in place indefinitely.
Q. How can I clean zinc?
A. Just about the easiest and
simplest way is to rub it off with
a cloth moistened with kerosene.
Telephone
Talk
A. R. FERNELL
Your Telephone Manager
SHOPPING BY PHONE is fast and convenient,
but this story hardly exemplifies the best way to do
it. Not long ago a telephone service representative
opened an envelope from a customer, expecting the
usual check for payment of the phone bill Instead,
she found a single sheet of paper that read:
l pkg. pork chops
l lb. hamburger
l large can pork
and beans
l pkg. rice
l doz. eggs
l lb. butter
l pkg. pepper
5 lb. flour
We wonder how this
homemaker man
aged, when she got
to the grocery store
and pulled out her
telephone bill.
TO BECOME A TELEPHONE POLE, a tree has
to be something special. If it looks promising, it’s
checked for height, slight taper, durability, health,
and posture. And, for the
tree that can pass this
exacting physical exami
nation, that’s only the be
ginning. After cutting and
trimming, it’s washed,
shaved, bored for climb
ing steps, cut to the prop
er length, inspected and
seasoned in the sun. Then
preservative is added,
and it’s dried and checked
again. A tree that has
gone through all this is
good for about a half-
century of service as a telephone pole. Which is a
pretty impressive career, any way you look at it.
you
If you are away from home and find that
can’t make it back when expected, don’t
let the family worry. Just stop at the conven
ient pay telephone nearest you and give them
a ring.
There are 109 pay telephones in Clinton.
We try bo put one everywhere that you might
need one.
So next time you’re out shopping and de
cide to drop in on Aunt Jane, stop at that
handy phone booth and give her a call to be
sure she is home.

We have the mind of Christ.
—(1 Cor. 2:16).
Nothing is too complicated,
or too hard for us to grasp,
learn, or to understand. When
we do not know how to proceed,
let’s pause for a moment and
say “God in us knows.” Then
breathe a silent prayer of
thanks that the way is now re
vealed, that the path is made
plain before us, that God in us
knows—so that we know too.
Let us give thanks that our
minds are continually renewed
and that we are keenly alert
through God-given intelligence.
