Reimer Wins Pre-Holiday Race On Wilmot Track Wilmot, Wis. - Johnny Rei­ mer drove Fredie Nielsen's A3 modified stock car to the 30 lap feature race win at the Kenosha * County Speedway Thursday night in the pre-holi- day race action that featured sportsman and ladies in other races. Fuzzy Fassbender start­ ed the race on the pole but not even car owner Dan Ban- tin was confident of a win. His car had engine problems in the third heat. Bantin's fears were realized in the 28th lap when the car belched sparks and smoke. Even with the guts of the engine hail­ ing from the oil pan, Fass­ bender kept it going and sal­ vaged second. Pop Kline, the senior cit­ izen of modified stock car rac­ ing, won the first heat race, Claude Patter the second and Reimer the fourth. Paul Cam­ eron of Round Lake won the semi after fighting off Potter on the last lap. Potter spun into the infield on the backstretch after a second turn effort to win. Sportsman stock car events were'won by Charlie "Fuzzey- bush" Brown of Lake Genevu; George Tripplet, Fox Lake and Chuck Chadwick, Palatine. Jack Ashenbrenner of Mind Lake won the feature after starting far back but drove swiftly and cleanly to the front. The Ladies Powder Puff racjes were the most unusual ever presented and the action will probably never be repeated. Gwen Schill used her husband's modified against Judy Pulera's late model and the two squared off in a real thriller with Gwen getting the win but Judy really pressed until the fourth turn when Gwen just opened the in* jectors all the way and tore home the winner by a /half straightaway margin. The offic­ ials have now ruled that future Ladies Powder Puff races will be limited strictly to street type cars. FILLER Short Takes On Campsite Cookery . . . "Rough it" -- but not your hands.

Plastic rubber does a good repair job. After sanding the sole lightly, apply some rubber cement, then when this has dried, apply your plastic rubber. Q. How can I clean piano and organ keys? A. For this ch9re, a good cleaning wax is preferable to soap or detergent, because it eliminates the danger of too much water being used, causing wood to swell and warp. * Q. Hbw can I achieve a star­ ched, but not stiff, appearance in my laundered garments? A. Dissolve a package of un- flavored gelatin as directed on its box, add to a gallon of hot water, then rinse your gar­ ments, wring, and dry as us­ ual. There will be enough body to make your garments look al­ most like new, and they'll iron beautifully, too. Q. How can I quickly and eas­ ily remove rust from a knife blade? A. If you'll stick the blade into an onion, leave it there for a half-hour, then wash and polish it, the rust will come off easily. Q. What can I do about an alcohol ring left on a varnished table surface? A. Try rubbing the spot vig­ orously with a little linseed oil on a soft cloth. Then rub with a dry cloth, and polish the en­ tire surface. Many other such easy-to-do tips on the care and cleaning of furniture are con­ tained in my household manual. Q. How can I cope with the cap on a fingernail polish bottle that resists all efforts to twist off? A. Try running hot water over the cap for a few minutes. Q. How can I prevent that ugly-looking ring after spot- c leaning a fabric? A. By "feathering out" your cleaning process. Whether you wet-clean or dry-clean, the out­ er edge of the saturated area must be permitted to dry grad­ ually toward the center, to fore­ stall the development erf that telltale ring. A hand blower or hair-dryer is helpful in drying the outer edge before the ring forms. Q. How can I clean embroid­ ery on an article that cannot be laundered? A. Cover the embroidered area with a thick paste of al­ cohol and powdered chalk, roll up the article, and lay it away in a dark place for a few days., then brush off the dry chalk. Q. How can I make a non- oily sweeping compound that will help make a good job of sweeping up a dusty or saw­ dust-covered concrete... floor? A. Dampen some newspaper thoroughly with water, tear it into small bits, and scatter these over the floor. Then as you sweep these wet scraps of paper up, the dust and saw­ dust will cling to „then\ and you'll really make a "clean sweep" of the whole business! Q. How can I deal with moldy leather book bindings? - A. One often effective treat­ ment is going over the leather with a cloth dampened in am­ monia. If streaks appear somewhat stubborn, you can sometimes deal with them with some oil- type furniture polish. Q. Please suggest a good, general stain-removing treat­ ment for porcelain sinks and bathtubs. A. First rub the stained areas with a slice of lemon, then go over them carefully with a ker­ osene-dampened cloth. Or, dip a half-lemon into borax, and scour with this. C) FRI. JULY It, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 7 S O M E S U G G E S T I O N S F O R . . . . . Carefree Trailering Q." Is there any way I can repair cracked patent leather? A. Not that Kknow of. All you can do is conceal the cracks as best you can by dyeing the fabric underneath. And in the fu­ ture, prevent this cracking by rubbing the leather with pe­ troleum jelly and avoiding ex­ posure to heat. Q. What can I do about a cloudy-looking or streaked mirror? A. Add some ammonia to wa­ ter, and swab this over the mir­ ror with a chamois. Then wring the chamois well out, and wipe the water off. Or, mix cold water with starch and apply to the mirror. When this is per­ fectly dry, wipe the powdery starch off with a dry cloth.

It's a com­ bination of good old fashioned common sense, a little preven­ tive maintenance and safe driving habits. You know from experience that anything you neglect will deteriorate. The tires of your trailer are no exception. Trailer tires are designed and tested by the, tire manu­ facturer to assure safe oper­ ation at all legal highway speeds. These tires require fairly high inflation pressures for maximum reliability and minimum wear. Trust the manufacturer and follow these recommendations: 1) Buy a good lire pressure gauge and use it. (You ran'l tell just by looking.) 2) Check uir pressure when they are cool. 3) Never bleed pressure from tires when they are hot. 4) Always check tire pressure " before starting on a trip. (Don't forget the spare.) 5) Inspect your tires regular­ ly for cuts and bruises. 6) Whefa not using your trailer for an extended period; remove the tires, reduce the pressure approx. 50% and stoi"e fin cool, dark 7) place. Follow tire manufacturers inflation, instructions. - PLASTIC BAGS HANDY Plastic laundry bags with a zippered top are mighty handy for toting all sorts of damp items.when traveling by camp­ er.
