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.

Dear Sally

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

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.

ed, many public places do expect
a certain number of such items
to disappear --but this expecta

BY MRS. W. J. 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.

INTERESTING
FACTS
By Tom Plaxico
Oddly enough, the man who was one of the
principal inventors of television is a man few have
heard of today. He was John Baird and he gave
public demonstrations of TV in London as early
as 1926.
Speaking of inventions, the inventor of the
telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, found tele
phones so annoying later in his life that he had hia
own phone removed from his home!
Did you know that one U.S. President lasted
only 31 days in office? He was our 9th President,
William Henry Harrison. He got pneumonia dur
ing his inauguration March 4, 1941, and died April
4, 1841 without ever signing a bill or performing
any major acts as President!
And here’s another interesing fact. . .
The Easter season has come and gone. This means
that Spring is here—the most beautiful.timepf the
