Section Two -- Page Eight fHE McukwhY PLAI^IJEALER Wednesday, Novsmbsr 25* 1$S4 .1 How Can I ? Bv Anne Ashley {Persons who wish to have help with specific problems may write to Anne Ashley In care of W. L. Gordon Features, 9th floor, Resor building, 37 W. Seventh street, Cincinnati 2, Ohio, sending along a stamped self-addressed envelope.) Q. How can I straighten out some warped phonograph records? A. You can try Immersing these records in hot water (about 150 degrees) in a shallow flat-bottom pan. Then invert a dinner plate over each record, a plate whose diameter permits its edge to contact only the outer edge of the record. Place a one-pound weight on" the plate and leave the record under pressure until the water has cooled to room temperature. Q. Is there any way I can repair a hole that has been burned into a leather-covered table top? A. Sometimes you can do an effective camouflage job by melting candlewax of a matching color, pouring this into the hole, and smoothing it out while it's still soft. Q. How can I remove rain spots from velvet? A. Sponge with cleaning fluid, being sure always to rub in one direction. Q. How can I remove candlewax drippings from a wooden table? A. Let the wax harden, then scrape it off carefully with a wooden paddle. Remove any residue by rubbing the spot lightly with a piece of cheesecloth moistened with cleaning fluid. Do this quickly, and follow it up immediately with a drycloth. Q. Do you have any suggestions for inking long, curved lines with a ruling pen when one does not have the proper utensils? A. Try using an ordinary wire coat hanger, which you can bend to the desired curve. Also, the roundness of the wire keeps the ink from creeping under the hanger and causing a blot. Q. How can I prevent the curdling, scorching, and stringiness that often occurs in foods made with cheese or milk? A. By being sure to cook these foods at low, low temperatures, and not overcooking. Q. What's the easiest way to apply liquid wax? A. Use a sponge that has been dipped in water, wrung dry, and patted between paper towels to soak up any excess water. This sponge will do a much better job, and waste less wax than a dry one would. Q. How can I clean soot out of a fireplace chimney? A. One easy and effective method is to place a piece of zinc on a smouldering fire in the fireplace, and vapors that arise have a way of cleaning off the soot in the chimney by chemical decomposition. Q. Is there any way I can remedy a broken coil on my hotplate? A. Try hooking the two ends of the break together, putting a pinch of borax on the joint, and turning on the heat. The coil will often weld itself together very nicely. Q. How can I create an old ivory finish on woodwork and furniture? A. Tint light ivory paint with raw sienna and burnt umber. After this apply a glaze coat of raw sienna mixed with burnt umber, and then wipe lightly. Q. How can I remedy peanut butter that has become too hard ? A. You can add a little peanut oil, olive oil, or salad oil, and mix this in thoroughly. Or, mix horseradish with your peanut butter, and you'll have it moist again. In fact, the horseradish improves the taste soamuch it's a good idea even if the peanut butter isn't too dry. Q. How can I forestall the constant fraying of lamp cords near the sockets? A. By dabbing on a couple of thin coats of fresh white shellac. Q. How can I clean a common- brick fireplace that is discolored by smoke? A. Ordinary household ammonia is usually very effective. A mild washing-powder solution will remove accumulated dirt and dust. Wash off with clear water. If the brickwork is old and porus, it will of course absorb considerable water and will take quite a bit of time for drying. Q. Whdit can I do about my stained-looking suede shoes? A. First brush them to remove all dust particles, then hold the shoes over the spout of a steaming teakettle -- enough to raise the nap, but not long enough to get the shoes wet. A steam iron is wonderful for this, too. Then brush the nap with a soft brush, and let the shoes dry before donning them again. Q. How can I make a hotter fire in my log fireplace? A. Do not remove all the wood ashes from the open fireplace. Leave some of them as a bed for the next fire. These ashes will retain a great amount of heat and give a quicker and hotter fire. Q. How can I prevent the dust from flying when cleaning out the fireplace? A. Before starting to clean, throw a handful of wet tea leaves over the ashes, and this will prevent the dust from flying. Q. What is a mixture I can prepare for the removal of old paint and varnish from woodwork? A. Apply with a rag a mixture of two parts of spirits of amonia and one of turpentine. In difficult cases, apply with a handbrush. And don't forget the sandpaper when removing paint or varnish. Q. How can I stiffen the bristles of a hairbrush after washing it? A. Dip the bristles into milk and water, using equal parts of each, then dry, preferably before a fire. Dipping the bristles into a strong solution of alum water is also effective. Q. What is a good way to store the dough for my refrigerator rolls? A. Try using an empty three-pound shortening can to store this dough. Unwashed, the can has just the right amount of shortening left in it to keep the dough from sticking, has its own cover, and does not take up nearly so much space in the refrigerator as would a mixing bowl of equal capacity.

"CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite" (5:30 p.m. (h. 2) SINGERS IN AREA PRESENT FINE COMPOSITIONS The Northern Illinois Choral association, on Nov. 30th, uiv> der the baton of Mrs. Rusg^tl T. Griffith, will perfoijn^Healy Willan's "The Mystery of Bethehem". This composition is for chorus, soloists (who will be Mrs. Judith Miller, soprano and Jack DeLano, baritone), organ, oboe, French horns, trumpet and timpani. An enchanting new way of presenting the Christmas story, the numbers in the Willan are not at all like the "MESSIAH", nor are they as long. The composition is neo-modal, with a stress on tone shading and delicacy. The other composition which the chorus presents is "GLORIA" by Antonio Vivaldi. This magnificent work is assumed to have been written around 1725, which explains the orchestration of strings, oboe, trumpet and organ. It its an excellent example of baroque music. The vocal soloists are Mrs. Margaret Denker, Mrs. Phyllis Schneider and Mrs. Ruth Mac Kusick. The membership of the chorus is from Arlington Heights, Fox River Grove, McHenry, Woodstock, Marengo , Union, Crystal Lake, Barrington and places between. The membership is mostly adult, since less than six high school students perform in this particular concert. Mrs. Griffith, musical director of the Northern Illinois Choral association is directing this along with the McHenry County Chamber Music society. Among members from the McHenry area are Stanley Blumberg, a chorus member, and Dr. George Ah-ary of McHenry and Mr. and Mrs. Jerrold Bruhnke, who reside in Bull Valley, orchestra members. WOOL GROWERS REMIHBED OF SALES DEADLINE Growers were reminded this week to complete all details of marketing wool and lambs not later than Dec. 31, in order to receive payments for the current marketing year.
