PLAINDEA LER PHOTOS CLEAN-UP PROGRESS -- Hard at work preparing to erect a high snow fence on the Charles "Chuck" Miller property, west of the city on Sherman hill, are members of the State Highway department. A heavy layer of gravel to the right in­ dicates the previous work done by Mr. Miller to cover the huge amount of debris which had been dumped on the property. The bottom photo was taken the previous week, showing abandoned cars which had been driven just feet from the highway "no parking" sign, causing a traffic hazard. The state promises a twenty-four hour patrol of the area. PG. 4 - PLAINDEALER- FRI. AUGUST 8, 1969 Fcfifi-CJoodLQlMLO. U.S. Savings ©! SIGN UP WHERE YOU WORK OR BANKi i < )OOQQQQOaflBBBOOOBQQWOOOOQBOQfll ' How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I restore the ap­ pearance of a rain-soaked felt hat? A. First let it dry partially, then press out the creases in the crown oi the hat. Next turn down the band and place the hat in a cool place away from any heat, and let dry thoroughly. Finally reshape the crown and brush the hat gently. If your work is done carefully, your hat should then look almost as good as new. Q. How can I make an ef­ fective bathroom "deodor­ izer"? A. A bottle of lemon juice, left uncorked in the bathroom, does real well. Q. What causes a cake to rise only in the center, and not around the edges? A. Usually a too-hot oven. Q. How can I increase one pound of butter to two pounds? A. Measure out one pint of butter, then add gradually one pint of milk and a small quan­ tity of salt, beating it with the egg-whip until smooth. Place in a mold, and set in a cool place. Q. What is the easiest and most practical way to apply liquid wax? * A. With a sponge that has been dipped in water and wrung dry of all excess moisture. This will do a much better job and use up less wax than a dry one would. Q. How can I prevent my boiled potatoes from breaking? A. When potatoes are boiled too rapidly, they become soft and broken on the outside, while their centers remain hard and uncooked. Q. How can I remove fish- slime stains from fabrics? A. Soak or sponge with a sol­ ution of %-cup of salt and one cup of vinegar to two quarts of water. Rinse with clear wa­ ter, then wash with warm wa­ ter and soap. An entire section of my new household-hints book deals with stains of all kinds. Q. How can I make varnish dry faster? A. Fill a shallow vessel with hot water and place the con­ tainer of varnish in this while working. It will make the var­ nish flow easier, and it will also dry in a shorter time. Q. How can I clean a white felt hat? A. Coat the hat with a mix­ ture of equal parts of corn- meal, salt, and flour, and let remain overnight. Next morn­ ing, brush off thoroughly. GOODWILL SERVES 3JD00 IN AREA OVER 30 YEARS Are you handicapped? Good­ will Industries is a non-profit, non-sectarian agency serving the handicapped men and wo­ men and every disabled adult in need of training should con­ tact Goodwill Industries. Unlike other agencies, it brings its program to the com­ munity. Through its program of referrals, it serves the handi­ capped in many ways, in train­ ing and rehabilitation, in place­ ments, in home bound programs and many other iyays. In this way it saves taxpayers over 55 million dollars a year. Goodwill Industries of Nor­ thern Illinois has served over 3,000 disabled people during the past 30 years and at the pre- ^sent time is employing 120 handicapped people in this area. Anyone interested should contact their local represen­ tative or write Alfred Soldwish, 1907 Kishwaukee street, Rock- ford, 111. 61101. CARE OF FRVIT Because temperature is an important factor in ripening, don't put unripe fault in the refrigerator. Slightly under­ ripe fruits that are fresh and sound will ripen in open air at room temperature. Do not place them in the sun. THAT ISN'T RIGHT. . . It might take a second glance to realize that the spelling in this sign is wrong. The "typographical" error is on a sign on the westbound side of U.S. 80. n e a r S a v a n n a h . G a . , t h a t warns motorists not to make a left turn into the Whitiv marsh Island loop 26. It would be hard for a motorist who disobeyed the sign's order to convince a patrolman that he didn't get the message. Martin HOUM 47 ROOBtS With 4"x«" 18 fl> Poie Built Last Year 385-5839 Arnold's query helps explain why we have seen medical costs zooming and hospitals over­ crowded. For most people stampede like sheep regarding medical ailments and fail to use their "horse sense." Half of the hospital patients should be back home in their own beds! And most of our drugs are just "window trimming*' to justify our medical fees! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. , Case K-550: Arnold D„ aged 22, is studying to be a phar­ macist. "Dr. Crane," he began, "why are there so many drugs on the market? "Recently I counted over 1,000 different named drugs that are offered by the pharmaceu­ tical companies and I didn't even complete the entire list by any means! "There aren't that many dis­ eases, are there? "So can you please explain this discrepancy?" DRUG PSYCHOLOGY Dozens of splendid pharma­ ceutical firms put out essen­ tially the same type of tran­ quilizer, but "coin" their own trade name for it. Thus, we have many tran­ quilizers on the market, all for treating the same ailment. Alas, it is an axiom of med­ icine that when there are many different remedies for any giv­ en disease, none of them is a cure! Fbr when we have a sure­ fire cure, there is wily one drug! Same goes for preventing ail- Q. How can I care properly for slate tile floors? A. This type of floor should be dusted with an untreated mop and brushed with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner at­ tachment. Wash with a mop and mild suds, rinsing and wip­ ing dry. Wax makes a nice finish. Q. What can I do about a hole in a plastered wall that has be­ come too large to hold a screw firmly? A. Pack the hole with steel wool, then twist the screw back firmly into this. -- ft newspaper reaches community publication From This Day Forward.... so in love...so lovely 4 a color candid wedding album by Gaylord, the second best man at your wedding, who will capture the story of your wedding in professional eplor, to preserve every memorable moment...at reasonable prices ( CANWO MOM THE Wt CXXNG ALKIM OF M* & M*S LIE I EACH) M "Tkt 3812 W.

Smallpox vaccine is thus the greatest single boon in mod­ ern medicine, for it saves more lives than all other drugs and vaccines, combined! Aspirin is the most widely used drug in the world as a sim­ ple pain killer. But your television shows will exclaim over the various merits of their special brand of aspirin and try to discredit that of their rivals. And one so-called buffered pain killer is extolled as work­ ing faster. The difference may not 5 seconds, so what! Moreover, if you pulverize an ordinary aspirin tablet, it will also work much faster! But powdering your aspirin will also help ward off a per^ torated peptic ulcer! • Mil MU* Jjwfe U WitiUt!
