Bell Street
Happenings
BY RENE KNIGHTON
k
Although the Christmas season
is a time of Joy and excitement,
a time when everyone Is looking
forward to a wonderful Christ
mas, the excitement will had to
be curtailed somewhat as most
students prepared for their mid
term examinations which began
on Monday, Dec. 15.
Friday at the dismissal of
school will begin the Christmas
holidays and everyone has an
nounced plans for an enjoyable
Christmas vacation.
The Student Council is spon
soring as it’s project for the yule-
tide season, a beautiful Christ
mas tree which will be placed
in the auditorium lobby.
As a tribute to the accomplish
ments of 1969, Bell Street will
conclude the year with a special
program sponsored by the Bell
Street High School Chorus under
the direction of Miss Waltine
Young, music supervisor.
It has been a wonderful ex
perience for me to report the
Bell Street Happenings for the
year 1969. I would like to take
this opportunity to express my
appreciation to Mr. Donny
Wilder, of the Chronicle, andRev.
W. E. Crumlin for their support
I would like to wish each and
everyone a Merry Christmas and
a very prosperous New Year.
HOW CAN I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I “hear bruises
on velveteen or velvet dresses?
A. Place the crushed area, pile
down, over a brush of many brist
les, then hold a steam iron just
above the back of the fabric, and
let the steam pour down through
the pile. Then remove the fabric
from the brush, shake until par
tially dry, and leave alone until
it is entirely dry.
Q. How can I prevent screws
from working loose in a plaster
ed wall?
A. Make a tiny hole in the plas
ter where you wish to drive your
screw, then fill this with plas
tic wood. Drive your screw in
while the wood is still soft.
Q. What can I do when cream
seems to be too thick to whip
properly?
A. Place the dish of cream in
another dish containing cold
water. When it is chilled, place
it in a dish of hot water for a
few minutes. It should then whip
readily.
Q. What is a good way of wa
terproofing leather shoes?
A. With a mixture of two table
spoons of beeswax and one of
mutton fat. Rub this dressing on
at night, and in the morning wipe
with a piece of flannel. Another
waterproofing treatment is the
application of hot ski wax to the
leather, rubbing this briskly in
with a stiff brush. Keeps the lea
ther rainproof and resilient.
Q. How can I make easier the
Job of sewing a material that must
be held tightly?
A. By covering h brick with a
thick padding, and using this to
pin the fabric that must be held
tightly while the work is pro
gressing.

rens and give the secretary your

Q. How can I remove odors
from a frying pan?
A. A little vinegar poured into
the pan while it is still hot will
remove the odor of fried onions,
and also of fish. Another method
is to sprinkle oatmeal in the pan
and shake it over the flame until
the meal begins to scorch.
Q. What do you suggest as a
good, general cleaning agent for
bathrooms?
A. I like kerosene - a little on
a damp cloth works wonders
in removing dirt and soap scum.
Afterward, the tub may be rinsed
with soap and water to remove
the odor, although this soon dis
appears.
Q. How can I freshen a pair
of suede gloves?
A. By rubbing gently over them
with the fine-grained side of an
emery board. The care and clean
ing of gloves, and other clothing,
is handled in my new household
manual.

TIPS FROM CLEMSON
HOME &
OUTDOORS
Q. My man is a gardener. What
would you suggest as an appro
priate Christmas gift?
A. You are a thoughtful per son.
This season is an excellent time
to present to the individual who
likes to dig and dabble a gift
that is not only timely, but one
which he can use year around
with personal satisfaction.
There’s a whole range of prac
tical items the gardener will
enjoy. How about books on
gardening? There are many, and
you may find them at a garden
center or department store. If
you want to be strictly seasonal,
perhaps you want to make it a
plant. Holly, Pyracantha, or some
of the others featuring berries
would do well. Or how about prun
ing shears? This is the time of
year they can be put to good use.
Of course there’s almost no end
of tools, from the simple and eco
nomical ones to the specialised
items which can run into dol
lars. Three you may want to con
sider are a fertilizer spreader,
wheelbarrow, or lawn edger. Al
most any “front yard farmer*
is glad to get one of these if he
doesn’t have them already. If one
of these doesn’t kill the bill,
check with your retail outlet,
they’ll be glad to offer suggest
ions. - E. V. Jones and J. P.
Fulmer, Department of Horti
culture.
Q. I’ve heard that the old fash
ioned bedbug is making a come
back. Is it really a problem?
A. Field reports from profes
sional pest control operators and
scientists in many sections of
the country indicate a growing
number of problems involving
bedbugs. They may be building
up a resistance to some of the
pesticides used, but probably the
greater factor is man’s changing
habits, more moving about, more
crowded conditions. There are
still some effective chemical a-
gents which will bring a heavy
infestation of bedbugs under con
trol. And in some cases, fumi
gation may be necessary. At the
same time, we may as well ad
mit that any buildtp is part at
the continuing battle between
pests and people. — W. C.
Nettles, principal Extension spe
cialist, entomology and plant
pathology.
