It will be yesterday.... Ho Hum By Anna Lagios Tips For The Homemaker You can simplify the process of making your own draperies by measuring properly from the beginning. First decide how long you want your draperies. The three usual drapery lengths are to the window sill, to the bottom of the wood frame below the window, or to the floor, explains Katharine Neumann, McHenry county Extension adviser. Plaid tweed coats are high fashion this season. They have a fitted look, lapels, and a double row of buttons in front. Wide collars are in this sea­ son. Some are reminiscent of the ones worn on middy blouses years ago. Some of the longer dresses have skirts that buttbn up from belt to hem in the front. The openings can be unbuttoned from the bottom as far up as the wearer desires. If you have baseboard heat, you may want your draperies to reach only to the baseboard. Otherwise, they might interfere with the efficiency of your heating system. Mrs. Neumann offers these suggestions when measuring for length: --Have the drapery rods installed before you measure. -For accuracy, use a metal tape or yardstick rather than a, cloth tape measure. -Remember to add extra yardage for hems. -Don't forget to allow ad­ ditional yardage for matching the patterns of printed fabrics. To determine the width needed, measure the area the draperies will cover and double this figure. Pinch-pleated headings require twice the width for adequate fullness. SERVICE NEWS James L.

Here & There In BUSINESS ft I REMEMBER • V T H E O L D T I M E R A From Mrs. Larry Oakley, Vee- dersburg, Indiana: I am not real­ ly an old timer, but I came from a very poor family and I know what it's like to be an old timer. I lived in but one house that had electricity before I left home. I did my homework by kerosene lamps at night and I got up at 4 a.m. to cook breakfast on an old wood stove. I remember in win­ tertime I'd heat my milk to make biscuits so I wouldn't have to stick my hand in the icy flour. I missed school many times to help mother scrub clothes on the washboard and while we were washing we'd have a big iron kettle of beans cooking on the stove. Some people call these times the good old days. Teenagers to­ day don't know the first thing about milking cows or slopping hogs. As I stated, I'm not really an old timer, but I am thankful that I don't have to re-live my teenage days. Teenagers of today should wake up and be thankful!

They didn't want me to marty him so I had to do what thety said if I stayed with them. I wrote him a letter and told him I didn't love him any more and gave him back the ring and the necklace he had given me. Louisa, I want to see him again. He lives in another town. What should I do? Please give me some advice as to what to do. Dean--A. Ky. Answer: Are you still living with PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1971 HEALTH AND BEAUTY your uncle and aunf Why„did they object to the young man? Did it concern his character or are you too young to take on the responsibilities of a wife and mother' ' All of these things should be considered before trying to renew your former associa­ tion. n If you are old enough to get married and the boy is not a bum and can support you, why not write him a note or just- enclose this letter that you have written to me. Louisa. Address your letter to Louisa, P.O. Box 532 Orangeburg, S.C.29115 Are you sensitive to poison ivy? If so, you'll be delighted to learn that there's a preven­ tive drug on the market that will help you build up an im­ munity against the infection. Every morning for at least six weeks before the so-called poison ivy season begins in your section, and then three times weekly until the season's end, you'll take five drops of this drug in a glass of miLk or fruit juice. This should protect you from infection without taking any other steps. Are you aware that many plants and bulbs in your flower garden are poisonous if eaten? Some plants and seeds are so toxic they can be fatal to chil­ dren if eaten. Therefore, chil­ dren should be cautioned to keep all plants and plant parts out of their mouths. If a child should eat a part of a toxic plant, a doctor should be con­ tacted at 'once or he 'should be rushed to the hospital for pro­ per treatment. It will be impossible to list all toxic plants and bulbs in this column, however, the fol­ lowing are some of the most common. In the house plant cat­ egory: Bulbs of Hyacinth. Nar­ cissus and Daffodil. Also branches of Oleander, leaves of the Poinsettia, Elephant Ear, Castor Beans and Mistle­ toe berries. Ornamental plants are: Seed pods of Wisteria, berries of Dalphine, all parts of Laurels, Rhododendron, Azaleas, green berries of Lantana and all parts of Yew. Flower garden plants include nearly all early spring and sum­ mer bulbs, Iris underground stems, leaves of Foxglove and foiliage and roots of Bleeding Heart. This may come as a surprise to many-if you desire further information contact your local farm and home agency. • EN T E RTAINMEIMT o o • •o•o«o«o«o«o«o«o«og UTILE BIG MAN Movie goers have another version of what happened at Custer's Last Stand in the film "Little Big Man."

What is the connection be­ tween dew on the ground and the dewpoint? Does dew form on the ground when the dew- point is reached? The dewpoint is that tem­ perature at which the air would condense or precipitate. It's that temperature, lower than the actual temperature of the air, at which the moisture in the air would become visible or precipitate. Thus there's no direct con­ nection between dew on the ground and the dewpoint. As we have learned, dew on the ground forms when earthly objects cool the air to the dewpoint, but above the sur­ face of the air, where physical objects don't come into con­ tact with the warmer air, the temperature must reach the dew- point to cause visible moisture or precipitation. We can have dew on the ground, then, when the dew- point is many degrees below the actual temperature of the air. Seiko Watches » STEFFANS IWatch Repair =ry ~ 1222 N.
