P r e* THE CHRONICLE, Clinton. S. C., July 2, 1%9—7-B I Dear Sally BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: I hear so much talk and diversified opinions re garding the strict as opposed to the lenient method of rearing children. I’d very much ap preciate learning your views on this subject. NEW PARENT. DEAR NEW PARENT: Well, I go along with the results of one recent study about which I read. This indicated that the parents who grant their children more re sponsibility, encourage them to voice their opinions, listen closely to these, tolerate differ ent viewpoints. . .and then make the final decision and enforce it, these parents rear a much hap pier and more successful fami ly than those parents who go in for the “permissiveness" idea. DEAR SALLY: A blind date was arranged for me last week end by a good friend with a very attractive young widow with a young child. We had a very en joyable evening together. . .but then as I drove up to her home at the end of the evening she blandly informed me that I owed a fee of $2.50 to her baby sit ter! I was stunned, and I told her so. I told her this was not my responsibility, but she refused to see it my way. So. . .1 finally coughed up the $2.50 to her sit ter. This really bugs me! Wasn’t I right in my contention? JIM. Dear JIM: You were right, I’ll agree -- but on the other hand your making such a big issue of the $2.50 fee wasn’t exactly in the best of taste either. . .made you sound a bit on the stingy side! DEAR SALLY: A certain col lege boy I know is compelled to keep a close guard over his ex penses. He has asked me to go steady with him, and suggested that we can go “Dutch” on our dates. I like him very much, but still I’m not too keen on the idea of sharing the expenses of all our dates. What do you say about this: DAKOTA. DEAR DAKOTA: An occasional Dutch date is all right under cer tain circumstances, but not as a steady arrangement. If this boy must watch his pennies so close ly, either he should cut out all dating or make only the dates he can afford to pay for him self. Certainly you should not be financing or helping to finance ALL his good times. DEAR SALLY: My husband was a widower with a 19-year-old daughter when I married him two years ago. The girl has been living with her late mother’s par ents since our marriage and, sadly enough, neither these people nor the girl have accept ed me as a friend. Now the girl is going to be married, and they have invited my husband to the wedding and reception -- but no invitation to me. Do you think, just as a matter of principle, that I should attend the wedding anyway? OSTRACIZED. DEAR OSTRACIZED: I fail to see just what principle you would serve by crashing an affair to which you haven’t been invited... or what happiness and satis faction you would gain. I think you’d do much better to stay at home. . .and forget their rude ness.

Best to continue being the kind of girl who attracted this boy in the first place. Maybe this will in time wake him up. If not, be happy that you’re well rid of the kind of fellow who is so easily lured away. How Can I? By ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I concoct a good “homemade. starch in an e- mergency? A. The water from boiled rice or potatoes provides a nice starch. To the water that re mains after you have cooked a half cup of rice in two quarts of boiling water, add enough addi tional boiling water (by pouring it over the rice in a strainer) to make one quart. Q. How can I prevent bathroom mirrors from steaming up? A. By coating them lightly with a little soap-type shaving cream, rubbing off the excess with a dry cloth or tissues. Q. How can I remove candle- wax drippings from a wood table- top? A. After scraping off as much of the wax as possible with a wood en paddle, work on the residue by rubbing lightly with cheese cloth moistened with carbon te trachloride. Operate quickly, and follow up at once with a dry-cloth polishing. Q. How can I remove the odor of perspiration from a man’s woolen shirt? A. By adding a little vinegar to the rinse water after laun dering. Q. How can I join lace so that it will not be noticeable? A. Try to patch the design over on the same design, carefully whipping one on the other. If artfully done, the place where the lace is joined will hardly be de tectable. Do not make a French seam when joining lace. Q. How can I remove rain spots from suede articles, such as shoes, purses, or hats? A. By rubbing gently with an emery board, such as used for manicuring. An entire section of my household-hints book is de voted to the care and cleaning of various items of wear. Q. How can I make the slic ing of butter or margarine into neat squares much easier? A. Ford the paper in which the butter comes over the blade of your knife and cut with this. It will make a smooth slice, and the butter will not cling to your knife. Q. How can I remove rust stains from an enameled sink or bathtub? A. One very good rust remover is a mixture of 1/2 cup grape fruit juice and one tablespoon of salt. Q. How can I make a good job of washing out dress shields? A. Use lukewarm water and a teaspoon of baking soda for this. Rub the soap on a small brush, and brush both sides of the shields. Then rinse in water of the same temperature. * * * First Instance The first instance of Con gress exercising its constito* tional power to declare war was the declaration of war against Great Britain in 1812- We’ll Be Open on the SAVE 100 m TENDER JUICY DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE OF CUT UP-TRAY PACK 1 FRYER PARTS PUUT tONI CUT GREEN STAMPS WITH THIS COUPON A NO PURCHASE OF SI 0.00 or More Order FREE AT YOUR CLINTON WINN-DIXIE STORE Voii* After LIMIT ONE COUPON JULY 5 PER ADULT CUSTOMER WHOLE LB.
