CLEVELAND MYERS Some years ago I had two stu- po whose ames i Was con- stantly confusing, or two sem- esters I did not get them identi- fied with their correct names. They were in the same building, came and went together and had sim- interests and abilities. Sev- eral years later I came across one of them again when, after my admitting I was not sure of which of two names to call her, she sup- Hed the correct one. Right then set about to make various asso- ciations in my mind with her and ber name. "1 have not seen either of them |; oo since, but when the name of either |s mentioned, I can clearly recall the proper person. By the same simple procedure I could have cor- rected the confusion years ago. LETTERS CONFUSED Perhaps you confuse the spelling of eed and precede or the use of two. to and too or of there and their. Some children as late as the second or third grade confuse such letters as b and d, p and When the average parent or her tries to help a child clear up such confusion he is prac at seeing, hearing or using the members of the confused pairs of words that tend to be remembered together or one after the other. * SEW-THRIFTY - By ANNE ADAMS IT'S VERSATILE!

Suppose you set a child who confuses d and b to write and say these letters one after the other, or to find on a page a word begin- ning with d then a word beginning with b, then another word begin- ning with one with b and s0 on. After long practice of this sort, the child may still not dis- tinguish d from b with assurance. The same may hold true for hom- onyms like there and their, beat and beet, pale and pail. While for some persons seeing or hearing such homonyths used correctly in separate sentences o! after the other may provide sul- ficlent mental check to help fix e respective meanings, for many other persons proced- ure only amplifies the confusion; and the greater the confusion al- ready experienced, the more it will persist when parts of the pairs are often seen or heard to- gether. In introducing such words in a spelling lesson it would be bet- ter, for example, to present beat, there, pail, in sentences of their proper meaning along with unre- lated words, and beet, pale and their in a later lesson than to pre- sent the pairs--beet and beat, pail and pale, there and their--in the same lesson. If your child confuses there and their or b and d, give him prac- tice in many different ways at learning only one of each pair. Then he will have a mental anchor to help him.

Each day, pick up dust and sur- face dirt on the floor, by going over it with a mop dipped in warm HOLLYWOOD HIGHLIGHTS Cameraman Lists African Dangers Roads, Weather, Natives, Animals By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- The big- st danger to movie makers in arkest Africa is neither the nat- ives nor the wild animals. It's the roads. $ That's the report from Robert Hollywood mbo. arrived here in time to collect an Oscar for his filming of '"The Bad and the Beautiful." "The toughest things we faced in Africa were, in this order: roads, weather, natives and ani- mals," said Surtees. ." roads in Africa are un- believably bad. You just can't pick up one , travel 100 miles and start shoo the next day, as you do in this of our company were accidents." The "Mogamio" company work- ed in British East Afri ca, scene of terrorism by the Mau Maus. Sur- tees said killed in road | did t murders were re- ported in the vicinity, but no vio- lence was seen. "There was a rumor that the Mau Maus were going to take a shot at Gable, in order to attract attention to their movement,' he remarked. '"John Ford, the direc- tor, moved the location because of it. "One day the police came and took all our native drivers into custody. All but two of them were returned later. Apparently the two were Mau Maus." The animals were the least of their problems, the cameraman added. There were a lot of lions across the river from one of 'their camps, and they'd raise a ruckus at night. Surtees said Gable took to Africa like a great white hunter. Miss Gardner was less enthusiastic about life in the wilds. She had her food flown in, but the crew claimed they ate better than she Ava's hubby, Frank Sinatra, visited the location three times, be- tween engagements in the U.S. Surtees said he was a great help for morale, organizing a Christmas show and keeping up the spirits of the home-sick film makers. THE MIXING BOWL A Dozen Hints Worth Noting Now Spring Cleaning Time is Here Hello Homemakers! Some folks dread housecleaning, but there is a built-up urge to refurbish the home weeks' before spring-cleaning. Once you begin the work thére are sounds that seem to cheer you on to your goal. Listen to the teasing voice of the chamis as you polish the windows, the cheerful tinkle of the glassware as you shine the con- tents in the cupboard and the snap- flap of the clothes hung out to dry. So, like a child gathering the first flowers of spring, a homemaker uses all the enthusiasm and beauty she can muster for a housecleaning spree. This ensures happy family living. TAKE A TIP 1. Candlewick bedspreads will not be "detufted"' if placed in a large cotton bag when launder- ed in the washing machine. . Iron your bedspread the long way to keep it in shape, How- ever, the chenille and candle- wick ones are shaken out and brushed when dry -- never ironed. . When hanging a coat or dress on the line, use two coat hang- ers hooked in opposite direc- tions, then pin at the collar, and the wind will not blow the garment off. . To clean a.velvet jacket hang it over a big kettle of boiling water for about 10 minutes. Then brush the coat with a piece of velvet till the nap is raised again. Let the steam penetrate cuffs and collar a second time if necessary." . Glazed chintz must be ironed on the right side to bring out the lustre. Use as much pres. sure as possible. . Before washing jeans and other garments use a tooth brush (about to-be-discarded) to dis- lodge dirt in pocket corners. To remove spots on suede card- table covers or bags try rub- bing with an emery paper or crocus cloth and then steam over a boiling kettle. . Wrap evening bags, stoles and other accessories with silver or gold thread in them in aluminum foil and in boxes. . To 'dry clean" your non-wash- able gloves at home try this method: mix % cup of fuller's earth and % cup powdered alum. Put the gloves on a board, cover with the powder and brush with a stiff brush, then wipe off with a towel and cover gloves with clean corn- meal and brush off. Doeskin and chamois will look quite new. Saturate fresh paint on any clothing with grease or oil then sponge with warm suds or spot cleaner depending on whether material is washable or not. If a white summer garment has turned yellow soak in lukewarm water for 15 minutes then use a bleach, following the direc- tions on the package. 12. Apply colorless lacquer on brass or copper to protect the surface from corrosion. . THE QUESTION BOX Mrs. K, T. asks: (1) How to re- move a stain made by a plant urn from hardwood floor. (2) Does it shorten the life of an electric polisher to pull it back- wards? Answer: (1) Sand the portion of stained hardwood floor thoroughly and then bleach with a blotter dip- ped in oxaliac acid solution for 5 or 10 minutes. (2) An electric polisher will not be damaged by pulling it back- store soapsuds and wrung almost dry. wards. However, let the polisher Queen to Unveil a Airmen Buried in Unknown Graves - LONDON (CP)--Next-of-kin of more than 20,000 Commonwealth airmen who died in the Second World War without a known grave, will be invited to attend the dedica- tion of a shrine being erected to their memory at famous Runny- mede on the banks of the river Thames. ; , The memorial will be unveiled by the Queen Oct. 17. Spokesmen for the Imperial War Graves Commission said invita- tions are going out to the immedi- ate relatives of all those commem- orated at Runnymede, including some 3,000 Canadians. The invita- tion, however, does not provide for any financial assistance towards travelling costs although reduced fares will be available on British railways. Designed by 69-year-old Edward Maufe, one of England's leading architects, the memorial stands on the edge of a wooded hill over- looking the Thames above the meadow of Runnymede, where Britain's charter of rights, the] Magna Carta, was granted by King | John in 1215. The monument consists of a Memorial to shrine, enclosed by curving cloist- ers with the names of the missing airmen inscribed on the stone cas- ings of a series of narrow windows. In the centre of the cloister rests the Stone of Remembrance. Above the arched entrance is a stone eagle with the RAF motto and the inscription: "In this cloister are recorded the names of 20,456 air- men who have no known grave. They died for freedom in raid and sortie over the British Isles and the lands and seas of Northern and Western Europe." Above the arched opening to the shrine are sculptured figures rep- resenting justice, victory and cour- age. Surmounting the shrine's tur- ret is an air force crown with a star above and in the stained glass of the great window of the memor- ial, two angels are pictured hold- ing a scroll with verses from the psalms in the Book of Common Prayer. WEYMOUTH, England (CP)--; The figure of King George III, cut | into a chalk hillside near this Dor- setshire seaside resort, will be da the job gradually. It should take 20 to 30 minutes to polish a 10 by 12 foot area. Mrs. G. W. asks: Is there any way I can prevent the vacuum cleaner attachment from pulling drapery into the nozzle? Angwer: Use one section of the hose and the nozzle on which a piece of cheesecloth is tied. Begin at the top and follow down to the bottom of the drapes. Miss M. M. says: We cleaned our refrigerator while it was discon- nected during the paint-up of the kitchen, and food smells of paint. What do we do? Answer: Try either of these methods: Defrost and wash cabin- et and dishes with a baking soda solution then place a fan facing the open door on kitchen stool. Force fresh air into it.

Cathedral Town Salisbury Asks For More Room England's old cathedral town of Salisbury, long overcrowded, seeks to swallow its parent. The city council, notes the Na- tional Geographic Society, has ask- ed to annex more 1,000 acres of the surrounding Wiltshire coun- tryside. And in the 1,000 acres lies Old Sarum, from which the popu- lace followed their cler more than 700 years ago to found nearby New Sarum, now aclled Salisbury. American soldiers of two wars, training on the grassy Salisbury Plain to fight in France and Ger- many, well remember the pictur- esque city. Through 13th century gateways, they passed on their short das of leave into narrow streets flanked b small neat hous- es with red roofs. Warm and friendly townspeople welcomed them, In beamed public rooms of an- cient inns -- the White Hart, the Rose and Crown and the Old George -- they lolled on Jacobean furniture before crackling log fires while they learned the pleasant British custom of tea at 4 p.m. They fed the friendly ducks and swans in the clean, weedy rivers, one of them the Avon, that come together at Salisbury. Returning to barracks in the misty dark, they met the cheerful little owls of ru- ral England, hooting unafraid be- side the winding lanes. Hundreds of them, on sunny Sun- days - and mon-drenched nights, climbed the green slopes of the great mound that is Old Sarum today. But few knew they lolled and romanced on the original Sa- lisbury. Men of prehistory who carried huge stones down from Wales ta build Stonehenge a few miles away may also have built at Old Sarum. Whatever its origin, Ro- man invaders took over a town in being and called it Sorbiodunum. Kings of Wessex followed to erect a moated castle, a cathedral and homes for their followers. Jam- med closely together, clergy and soldiery squabbled continually. One day the soldiers locked out the priests who promptly started build- ing New Sarum. The people de- serted the soldiers for the, priests, and by the 16th century, Old Sar- um was a deserted ruin. The church of St. Mary, known the world over as the Salisbury Cathedral, subject of paintings by John Constable, was 38 years building. The time was the 13th century, when Henry ITI was king. Somewhat severe inside, but re- garded as one of the finest ex- amples of English Gothic archi- tecture, the narrow cruciform ca- thedral has the tallest spire in England. Standing atop a tower not en- gineered to support such a great weight, the 404-foot landmark has been a worry for 600 years. Re- pairmen have worked on it many times. In , Sir Christopher Wren found it leaning almost two COSTUME LOOK Emphasis is on the costume look, smartest in the straight lines of this Spring.

Following World War II, crafts- men in stone spent two years re- building the topmost 25 feet in a major renovation financed in part by American gifts. Two Germany fighter-bombers in 1942 almost sav- ed them the effort.

Once when I explained my concern at length, in tears, he replied that he was in Jove with me and wanted to see me--and I built things up in my head. I considered breaking the en- gagement then, but as my young son loves him too, I reconsidered. Later I learned he has jealous fits without cause, makes false ac- cusations and says very vile things to me, and again I decided to make a break. But he apologized profusely and said he would see a psychiatrist if he failed to improve, so again I releneted. When we go out with his friends he expects me to neck in public and avow great love of him, and when I shrink from this he says I am angling for other men--in a nightclub filled with riffraff. He refuses to say goodnight until I've declaimed my love at length, and he e ts me to coo to him over the phone for an hour or longer --pa phrases he dictates. By phone and letter he makes remarks that can be misunderstood and would ruin my reputation. I can't induce him to stop this. CASTS DOUBT He can be very crude, and at times is hostile to my friends, his excuse being that he can 'buy and sell" them. In general they are professional people with more education than money. He says I am not his social equal, questions my morals and infers that my past was shady, inasmuch as I feel guilty about being alone with him late at night--fearing scandal in my church, club and working affil- iations. I gather he was engaged often before, but due to his healousy didn't reach the altar. He feels im from a split personality into that marriage to me would change him from a split personality into a devoted trusting husband, and although he is jealous of his shadow in our relationship, he is never jealous of my son. He buys him expensive gifts, gives him an allow- ance and has more patience with him, and handles him better, than I do. Do you think psychiatry might help him? He's had a happy home life with every advantage, whereas I've lacked security and had to struggle, so I don't understand him. the spire in the low overcast. Sev- | y R eral homes and the city's domestic gas holder were hit that day. Egg stains on silver can usually be removed by rubbing with wet salt. As you wash the dishes, take a moment or two to do this job, and the big job of polishing all the flat silver will be much easier. OBEY INSTINCT Dear N. R.: You are not without intuitive sense in this relationship, and you ought to obey your in- stinct, which tells you it would be a destructive mistake to marry Jud--let's call him. You say "He feels that marriage to me would change him from a split personality into a devoted husband." This statement is signif- icant, in its implicaton that both of you recognze his "split person- ality." He does indeed display a Jekyll-Hyde duality, with emphasis on the sickminded man. It is his morbid pleasure to shame and dis- may you as his partner. In the name of love he humiliates, frus- trates and embarrasses you with sadistic relish. Could psychiatry help him? Psy- chiatry is an emergency resource for those who are intrinsically able and willing to help themselves, mostly. It isn't a do-all form of help in every case, by any means. It isn't infallible, any more than any other branch of medicine, when a condition of pernicious cripp! is to be treated. In the realm of character, psychiatry can- not make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. It cannot supply the individual with basic excgllence that his heredity didn't provide. Marriage to Jud would be a sin- ister experence for any woman, unless and until he has freed him- self of his paranoid anxieties and sadistic compulsions--supposing he can, with specialist aid. In the meantme, in the condition in whch you know hm, he poses a problem beyond a layman's capacity to fathom. And my advice is to re- would reject an invitation from Hell, M. H.
