1 HOW CAN I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I make a good job of removing the old finish from furniture prior to refinish ing? A. Use paint or varnish re mover, obtainable at any paint or hardware store. If a tinge of the old paint remains, mix two tablespoons of oxalic acid with a quart of water, douse this on the furniture with a brush, and let stay for 15 minutes before rinsing with plain water. This will bleach the wood to its nat ural color. WARNING: Protect your hands with rubber gloves, and avoid splashing yourself Q. How can I clean and whiten meat boards and breadboards that have become discolored? A. Try rubbing over them with the inside of a lemon rind, fol lowing this with a clear warm- water washing. Q. How can I prevent the crust of a meat pie from absorbing the gravy? A. Gravy will not soak through the lower crust of your meat pie if the white of egg is brushed over the crust. Q. How can I remove light scorch stains from linens? A. Wet the affected area with cold water, then expose to the sun until the stain disappears. It may be necessary to repeat the wetting process several times. And, of course, if the stain happens to be burnt into the goods too much -- this won’t work. Q. How can I brighten up the gold patterns on my dishes which have become dingy-looking? A. Scrub with a dry tooth brush dipped in bicarbonate of soda. Or, use a moist tooth brush in powdered alum. Let the alum stay on for a couple of hours or so, then wash the plates. Q. How can I cope with ball point pen stains on fabrics? A. These stains usually yield to treatment with carbon tetra chloride.

DUNK SULLIVAN FOR COUNTY COUNCIL JUNE 9 BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: I’m a teenaged girl who doesn’t drink and who in fact can't even stand the taste of the stuff. But I’m getting tired of beingpestered at parties where everyone else is drinking to "come on, have a drink." Have you any simple solution for this? SEVENTEEN. DEAR SEVENTEEN: Yes.Sim- ply say, “Thanks, but I don’t care for any right now." Or, “Right now I d love a soft drink of some kind." Or, if you'd like to go in for a little diversionary action, sip on a “Fantasy on the Rocks" (plain water or girtger ale with a cherry in it), which gives the ap pearance of a cocktail and will discourage any promptings for you to "have one." DEAR SALLY: I am engaged to a lovely girl, but now find myself a little bit dubious about our chances of a happy marriage. It seems we have diametrically dif ferent tastes so far as hobbies are concerned. I'm nuts about sports of all kinds -- golf, base ball, fishing, tennis, bowling, etc., while she couldn't careless Now... Try it on YOUR LAWN! GRASS CATCHER: Comet hat a most efficient gratt accessory catcher. Rags up to 3 bushols of dippings at a time. Grooms your yard. about these things. She goes in for art, literature, the theatre, opera, and stuff like that -- all of which bore me to the utmost. I surely would appreciate your comments on this. RICHIE. DEAR RICHIE: The all-impor tant ingredient of any happy, suc cessful marriage is LOVE, not necessarily a similarity of hob bies. And along with love there must be tolerance and considera tion on the part of both per sons... an effort by both husband and wife to show at least an interest in the other’s hobbies and enthusiasms. DEAR SALLY: Our teen-aged son often comes home with ash trays he has taken from various public places as souveners, and he tells us that his friends all do the same thing. He says we’re wrong in terming this stealing, that these places expect these things to be lifted and consider it a form of advertising. What do you say? A.C.F. DEAR A.C.F.: If hetakesthese items without the express per mission of the establishments in volved, then it E stealing. Grant ed, many public places do expect a certain number of such items to disappear --but this expecta tion is based upon the dishonesty of certain patrons.

HOGAN DEAR SALLY: I’m a widow of 39 and have been dating regularly with a very attractive and res pectable bachelor of 40 for Ihe past two years. He has affirmed his love for me many times, dates no other women, but he has never even hinted at the sub ject of matrimony, and this is nerve-wrecking to say the least. Do you think I have the right to ask him frankly just where, if anywhere, we’re headed? HOOSIER DEAR HOOSIER: Indeed you do. Maybe such a question from you will prove to be all he needs to spur him into positive action. If on the other hand it has the opposite effect, at least you’ll know where you stand and can govern yourself accordingly.
