Wed. Dec. ^0,1969 - Plaindealer - Sec. 2, Pg. 5 'The Drivers Seat Sign (iame Makes Traveling Fun Traveling over the holidays'? If you are and will be taking the kids, perhaps you'd like to count symbols of safety. Made into a game, counting traffic- signs and other signs of safe­ ty keeps the kids occupied and teaches them something at the same time. Already filled with the ex­ citement of the holiday season, children will find traveling a little more interesting if time passes quickly. To play the game, make up How Can I? by Anne Ashley Q. How can I keep pancakes from sticking to the griddle? A. By rubbing the griddle or frying pan with half a peeled potato, instead of grease. Cut off a slice of potato for each batch of pancakes, so that your rubbing is always done with a freshly cut side. Q. How can I remove ink spots from wallpaper? A. Touch lightly with water and apply a blotter, then treat with oxalic acid. If the color of your paper is affected by the acid, touch up these spots with water colors or wax crayon. Q. How can I return hardened shoe polish to usable consist­ ency? A. With a little turpentine or mineral spirits. Q. How can I improve the agitation of the solution in my developing tray while I am pro­ cessing some of my photograph prints? A. Place a round pencil or piece of dowel under your de­ veloping tray, and this will en­ able you to roll the tray back and forth without so much dan­ ger of spillage. Q. What is a good and easy method of keeping the flues and chimney of my fireplace clean? A. Dried potato peelings, burned in the fireplace, will do a good job of cleaning the flue and chimney. Q. What can I do about a marble tabletop that has become etched by acids from fruits or other causes? A. Try smoothing it off with the finest grade of sandpaper obtainable, then polishing with putty powder. or jeweler's rouge. Q. How can 1 remove per­ spiration stains from fabrics? A. On unwashables, some­ times only dry-cleaning is the answer. But first you can try sprinkling some water-mois­ tened cornstarch over the area, brushing this off when it has dried. On washable fabrics, if ordinary laundering fails, sponge the spots with vinegar. One entire section of my house­ hold-hints book is devoted to the treatment of spots and stains of all kinds. Q. How can I , when working with plaster-of-paris, prevent it from hardening too quickly? A. By using glycerin or ven- egar as your mixing agent, in­ stead of the usual water. Q. How can I repair tears or open seams in cellophane? A. Overlap the edges of the cellophane and press with a medium-warm iron until the ed­ ges are securely welded to­ gether. Q. What suggestions have you for the treatment of scratches on furniture? Q. Scratches on furniture of­ ten yield to the iodine treat­ ment. For red, finished ma­ hogany, use new iodine. For ma­ hogany that has turned brown or is cherry-colored, use iodine that has aged to a dark brown hue. For maple, dilute iodine with denatured alcohol, using about a fifty-fifty mixture. Q. How can I clean and beau­ tify copper articles? "A. If you'll rub the copper with salt and lemon juice, or with salt and vinegar, you'll have it sparkling clean in a jiffy. The untaxable*. No state or local income tax a list of things to look for and assign certain point values to each symbol. Lower point val­ ues si.-mid go to the more com­ mon signs. Possible combina­ tions include: Reflectorized lar.e marking (flat or raised) (2), Reinforced guard rails (1), Ueflectori/ed markings on guard rails (2), Reflectorized Jelineators -- those bright guides along the edge of the roadway -- (2), and tempor­ ary lane markings (3);. Special signs to look for might be: Stop (1), Detour (2), Fall­ ing Rock Zone (3), DeerCross- ing (2), Narrow Bridge (3), Pavement Narrows (1), No Passing Zone (1), Slow Vehicles I'se Right Lane (2), and Trucks I se Low Gears (2). Slow moving vehicle signs (SMV)--reflectorized triangles attached to the rear of trac­ tors, wagons, earth movers, etc. -- are among the newer additions to the list of safety symbols. Since they are rel­ atively new, give 4 points to an SMV sign. A cousin to SMV signs are smaller red triangles used by truckers to warn other mo­ torists of their stalled or dis­ abled truck at the side of the road. These triangles rate 2 points. Some simple rules to the game may be in order. First, each observed symbol must be seen by all participants. There will be no shouting out of sym­ bols, and once used, a symbol can't be counted again until the next game. Double points will be given when damaged symbols are ob­ served and identified. These might include signs defaced by bullet holes, bent as the re­ sult of an accident, or hard to read because of dirt, rust or poor maintenance. A given time or mile limit will be placed on each game. Ties will be brok­ en with a "sudden death" play­ off -- the first observed sym­ bol after time has run out wins the game.

Loss Of One Eye Only One-Fifth Of Total Vision Those who have lost an eye naturally think they have lost half of their full vision but this is not true according to the Illinois Society for the Pre­ vention of Blindness. The loss amounts only to approximately one fifth of the total. Many people believe that the loss of one eye means that the person will have lost fifty per­ cent' of his vision. Surprisingly enough, he will see just about as well as be did before, once he learns to judge distance. There is some loss of the ability to judge distance but this applies only to distances of two or three feet. When a man loses an eye he finds that within a few months he is just as efficient and has as much manipulative dexterity as before. In World War I eye* injuries accounted for two out of every hundred injuries. In World War II the extensive use of land mines and booby traps doubled that number. But even in peacetime many lose an eye. In 1942, for example, there were approximately 70,000 industrial eye accidents in the U.S. and 5,000 of these resulted in the loss of one or both eyes. England's famous Admiral Nelson was blind in one eye. So was the well known Ameri­ can pilot, Wiley Post. A former American eye surgeon of the present generation lost the sight of pne eye and taught himself to operate as successfully as he had before the loss. A brochure on this subject will be sent to readers, with­ out charge. Write the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 220 South State street, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
