It huppens every year at this time. Now there are two approach- es. Do a single reom at a time. Just be sure to start with a different room each year as your initial burst of energy pro- duces the best results. Or, take a single job such as cleaning tile, and work your way through every tiled area in the house. While the latter is the duller approach of the two, it's the most efficient, for less time is wasted shifting gears. Whichever method you try, keep equipment to 2 minimum, Load yourself up with a whole array of tools and compounds and you'll feel like the last re- maining beast of burden by the end of the day . . .and look it, too. Start with a man-sized apron with pockets. It's worth its weight in time saved searching for gear you've parked along the way. Line one pocket with a plastic refrigerator bag for storing damp sponges. Use the others for transporting dust and a cloths, and cleaning s. Now there are specialized tools for just about every job on the agenda. Take brushes, for example. There's one for venetian blinds, for radiator, for upholstery, there's a win- dow brush, a floor brush, a bath tub brush, a counter brush. Select the one you think is best adapted to your various needs and make sure it's the best quality available in your store.| Of 20 top British fashion houses | wracdonald Those of better quality won't shed bristles, won't leave splin- ters in your hands, are designed with superior grips and outlive less expensive models. Here's ghat to look for in the most- used tools of the spring cleaning trade: Floor brush -- Grade A horse- hair with full tufts firmly sta- pled in a hardwood block. "Radiator brush -- long-handl- ed, cylindrical in shape, made of bristles twisted in rustless wire and tapered toward the end to gét in corners. 'Ventian - blind brush -- of Broom -- fiber rather than broomcorn. Dust cloth -- pieces of soft fine wool, Sponges -- natural sponge of the cheap wool variety.. Two small ones are better than one large one cut in two. For your cleanser ene good versatile product that you can use in solution for swab-down jobs and use dry as a scourer will eliminate a lot of lugging. One 'product that meets these qualifications is sa) soda con- centrated. which offers the further advantage of softening the water with which you clean, In addition, it's one of the most economical al, available products. To go back to the tile areas fof an example of how sal porks: Using your sponge and a splution of three table- spoons of sal soda concentrated to the bucket or basin of hot water, swab down your tile.

Be equally Working Mothers Provide Sitters For Small Boys ing is to prepare yourself as much as you can for the crises thai are bound to arise in a working mother's life, There may be days when the school office calls to say that your son or daughter is ill and needs to be taken home. There may also be mornings when a child says "T feel sick today."" Because you know these things can hap- pen, plan ahead for what you will do and have a substitute- mother lined up that you can call at these times, A third way to resolve anxiety as a working mother is to stop worrying about what can hap- pen. Nuclear Cooking Is Harmless WINNIPEG (CP) -- Food properly preserved by nuclear radiation poses no health haz- ard to people or animals, says a University of Manitoba plant > scientist. Dr. J. D. Campbell says a story attributing statements about the dangers of preserv- ing vegetables by radiation to three Cornell University profes- sors was "unfortunate." Dr, Campbell, who has been engaged ments here with Prof. L. H. Shebeski, says the utmost pre- cautions are the safety of radiation-treated vegetables. As one working mother said so well: "I couldn't stay home forever for fear someone might get mumps, So when I had to go to work, I decided I prould live one day at a time and not worry about home problems until they actually happen, Whenever the mumps and measles strike, I take care of them, "I do my worrying as the in radiation experi-|¢ taken to ensure |g "Txtensive feed trials were(vegetable so far passed by the run on Jaboratory animals with|Canadian food and Sas tee. no ill effects whatever, notitorate.
