Moehling, Frank Hromec, Marjorie McGraw, Joseph Suchor, Hazel Rogde, Joseph- Kowalski, Mark Peterson, Tina As th' time nears, fer this ol' lady t' pull up her roots, an' try t' put 'em down, far from me ' dear little cot, an' th' lo surroundin' area, there's many a time me heart turns o'er, in th' knowin' that th' heartache '11 e'er be there. There comes a time in life, when things must changeyTh' sad part is that time gqjes too fast, an' all th' lovely t^tmgs one has enjoyed, must be replaced wi' the new, new places, new faces, new friends, an' a new home. Seems like there'll ne'er be another, like th' one here. Th' part that makes fer gladness, is th' anticipation o' bein' wi' me other family, fer th' days left fer this granny. In the' back o' me mind, all th' years past, dwelt th' desire t' be nearer me daughter, fer part o' me years, but somehow it seemed that th' time 'd ne'er come. One goes along, in this life, a livin' it, an' enjoyin' the' many blessin's, a knowin' that one day, a change '11 be made. But one doesn't realize that th' roots 're a growin' so deep, 'til th' time comes t' pull 'em up Nothin's permanent, as we well know. But love, bein' th' strong ingredient in a body's nature, has a way o' bindin' th' heart about people an' places. All these years, th' wish t' have me girl t' help a bit, wi' th' mendin', an' a few things grannies do, a trip t' town, t' share many things, has been strong in me mind. Now, th' time is near, an' a new way o' life seems at hand. Th' new joys, mingled wi' th' sadness, in leavin' me dear little home, an' th' family o' me son, keeps a body high on the mountain, an' deep in th' valley, all at once. Life is like that. Wi' a tear in th' eye, an' a smile on th' lips, wi' mixed feelin's this granny prepares fer th' Christmas season. There's time, yet, t' git ac­ customed t' th' thought o' makin' th' break, but one more Christmas time, in th' nicest little town I've e'er known, wi' such friendly folks, wi' which t' pass th' time o' day, '11 live in me memory, like th' first one many years ago. It wuz lonely, not a knowin' a soul, but on comin' home, from town, th' sound o' lovely carols filled th' evenin' air. That's all it took, t' make it a lastin' memory, an' me heart filled wi' a gladness, like a promise o' happy days t' come. Th' promise wuz kept, an' some o' th' happiest days o' me life came t' pass, an' dear friends wuz made, lovely hours spent in me garden, a listenin' t' th' birds an' children's voices. God has been good t' this granny. Grandma Radtke douxt D{i[msx Court Joyce Kilmer, No. 573, Catholic Daughters of America, will hold its annual Christmas party in the K.C. hall, 1304 N.

By Anne Ashley Q. How can I improvise a white ink for writing on the black paste of a photo album or scrapbook? A. White shoe polish does a good job. Shake the bottle well, dip your pen into it, and of­ tentimes this writes more clearly than the real thing. Q. How can I clean zinc? A. Just about the easiest and simplest way to clean zinc is to rub it off with a cloth moistened with kerosene. Q. How can I remove paint spots from ceramic tile or porcelain? A. By rubbing with a piece of cotton soaked in fingernail polish remover. Q. How can I remove scratches from silverware? A. Procure a small quantity of putty powder, put this into a saucer and add just enough olive oil to make a paste. Rub this paste on your silver with a soft flannel cloth, then polish with a chamois, and your scratches should have vanished. Q. How can I brighten up dull- looking pewter? A. Drop a small lump of potash into a quart of water and soak the pewter in this for at least twenty-four hours. Then take it out and rub all over with a cork dipped in olive oil or mineral oil, following this with a brisk rubbing with a dry chamois. Q. How can I prepare a good wallpaper paste? A. Add one tablespoon of powdered alum to one quart of water, then sift some flour into the water and stir constantly until it has acquired the con­ sistency of dough. Then pour in boiling water to dilute it to the desired consistency. Q. How can I repair deeply scratched woodwork? A. Try filling the scratches with a mixture of fine sawdust and spar varnish. After this has hardened completely, smooth down with fine sandpaper. Q. How can I remove iron rust stains from linens? A. By boiling the linens in a solution of one tablespoon of cream of tartar to a gallon of water. Q. How can I repair a hole in a rug? A. Stitch some burlap to the wrong side of the rug, then with a crochet hook pull matching material through this to match the surrounding weave as closely as possible. To further secure the yarn, press some gummed carpet binding over the underside. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. WHERE TO GO?

For Holiday Entertaining During the holidays when formal and informal entertain­ ing are so popular for both the grown-ups and kids, Peanut Butter Chocolate Fondue will be a hit. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate could hardly miss, since both are great favorites. And it's easy! Simply add crunchy peanut butter to the melted chocolate-milk-sugar mixture and the fondue is ready to serve with your favorite bite-size pieces of fruit or cake. For those who like to prepare foods ahead, the fondue can be made in advance and stored in the refrig­ erator until party time. Besides being so easy to prepare and scrumptious, the dessert is also very nutritious. And good nutrition is especial­ ly important for youngsters going through early growing stages. The fondue dessert provides protein, energy, min­ erals and vitamins.

Heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted. Add crunchy peanut butter; mix well. Pour into fondue pot; place over heating unit. If fondue becomes too thick, add milk. Dipping suggestions: pound cake squares; bananas, apples, pears and pineapple chunks; marshmallows and seedless grapes. Q. How can I more easily drive a tack or small nail into a very difficult place where it is impossible to hold it with the fingers? A. If you thrust the tack or nail through a strip of card­ board, you can hold the end of the cardboard while ham­ mering.
