lWI.K 20 - PLAIM)fftEH-FKII)AY, JANUARY 18^1974 The Worry Clinic" Rev. Obed raises a point that has long needed to be ex­ plained, both to church deacons and program chairmen! For an injustice is often done to very deserving men and women of musical or oratorical talents. So pass this Case Record along where it is needed! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE J-578: Rev. Obed cites a common church problem. "Dr. Crane," he began, "sometimes our members want to invite a speaker, singer or travelogue lecturer to our church. "And that is quite agreeable to me. "But then they seem to think such outside talent should be glad to donate their services, even though they may come by car from 50 miles away and bring a lot of camera equip­ ment, too. "Yet I try to tell my deacons that we should offer at least a nominal fee to such per­ formers, at least to defray their expenses. "Dr. Crane, don't you think I am correct? "And what would be a nominal fee?" PRO VS. AMATEUR If an outside clergyman exchanges pulpits for a certain Sunday, then no fee is necessary, for each minister reciprocates. But when musicians, professional speakers or camera enthusiasts make a special trip from a distance, you should at least pay them a nominal fee just for car ex­ pense. And Uncle Sam allows 10 cents per mile for car ex­ pense, so you can easily estimate the bare auto costs for the round trip mileage, s If your guest artists or orators are working full time at something else and merely indulging a hobby when they offer a travelogue lecture or musical performance, they may be content with their expenses, which should be at least $10 to $25. But when you engage professional talent, as singers, violinists, speakers and such, who make their living at public performing, then you should expect to pay. Senators and Congressmen, if they come home to campaign for their own reelection, thus donate their services. But when called for special addresses before conventions or special gatherings in other states, they expect their ex­ penses, plus a fee that may run as high as $500 to $1,000, depending on their eminence. Other professional orators, like Dr. Peale and myself, also charge a similar fee, though we donate all our earnings to our educational projects. Remember, too, that a one- day speaking date often takes up 3 days of our valuable time, counting cross-country flights to and from the meeting! But most American still seem to think that a speaker should donate his address, yet they ^ know very well they couldn't expect a Dr. Mayo or other talented surgeon to "donate a free operation for their group! At the usual Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions and other noon luncheon clubs, when a local professor is obtained to speak, he may donate his talk. If, however, he travels to a neighboring city, the fee nowadays may range from $25 to $50. Professors of nation-wide scientific stature an(J^, reasonable popularity, may then charge $100 to $250 for a Commencement Address, or charge off their talk as a gracious gesture for receiving an honorary doctor's degree (LL.D. or D.D.). High schools and colleges may pay $25 to $100 for an imported convocation speaker during the usual school year sessions. But program chairmen should sell enough tickets in advance to pay all expenses and not rely on ticket sales at the door, for a stormy night can cut down door sales quite heavily!

TOWIANT • ^p ̂ p ^ By Anne Ashley Q. How can I remove some very light stains from fur-0 niture? A. Sometimes a rubbing with% your usual polish will make them vanish. If this doesn't work, use rottenstone or finely powdered pumice, mixed to a thin paste with raw or boiled linseed oil. Rub in the direction of the grain, then wipe with another cloth moistened with plain linseed oil. Repeat as often as necessary, then polish. Q. How can I get a quick shine on my leather shoes? A. Rub the shoes with the cloth you've used to wax your floors. You'll get a lovely shine that will last and protect the leather. Q. How can I prevent the meringue from sticking to a knife when slicing a meringue pie? A. By dipping your knife into cold water beforehand. Q. How can I silence the drip? drip of a leaky faucet that's keeping me awake at night? A. Tie a cotton string to the faucet long enough to touch bottom, and the water will trickle noiselessly down the string. Then, as soon as possible, the next day do something about replacing that faulty washer. Q. How can I prevent odors in my refrigerator? A. One drop of oil of win- tergreen put in a corner of your refrigerator will absorb all food odors. Or, keep a small con­ tainer of baking soda inside to keep the refrigerator sweet- smelling. Q. How can I be sure of drawing out all insects that may be hidden inside heads of cabbage, cauliflower, or similar vegetables? A. By standing the whole vegetable for fifteen minutes in cold water containing a little salt or vinegar. . Q. How can I remove iodine stains from fabrics? A.

One complete section of my new household hints book is devoted to the treatment of spots and stains of all kinds. Q. How can I prevent three of my pet grievances - shredded coconut drying out, mar- shmallows hardening, and brown sugar hardening? A.

How can I protect my dresses or blouses from pin holes when I am wearing heavy brooehes or clips? A. Slip a small piece of felt inside the fabric and run the pin through this added thickness.

By screwing cup hooks into the bar of an ordinarv wooden hanger, then hanging your belts by their buckles on these. Q. How can I treat mustard stains on fabrics? A.

About 380,000 working women will re­ tire in 1974. But are they pre­ pared for it? They can face the golden years happily, if they have prepared for them. Working women are supposed to be good savers and most are saving for retirement. But are women saving enough for their golden years? Creeping inflation, with its dev­ astating effect on low and lower- middle income people -- has a near fatal effect on fixed retire­ ment incomes. And unless the re­ tiree has saved and invested pro­ perly, she could be in for some sad days ahead. Successful retirement -- for both men and women -- does not just happen. It requires meaning­ ful planning -- and good plan­ ning takes time. The earlier working women start -- the bet­ ter. The first step might be to seek counsel. For far too many women simply have not been taught -- or have not learned -- how to develop a wise program of savings and investing calculated to serve their own interests. A recent survey of the savings and investment habits of working women in one area of the country showed that working women are not even keeping up with infla­ tion in their savings and invest­ ments. For those working women who are years from retirement -- now is the time to start planning. It's difficult to lead others where you've never been. Interruptions, too, add spice to life. ACB08S 1.
