Smith's three point margin over Klapperich gave him just that much lead in the interesting match for high aggregate score.

At the meeting "McHenry Catholic Youth" was decided on as a name and Wednesday night at 7:30 as the time for the weekly meetings. Boys and girls from St. John's parish In Johnsburg, St. Patrick^ and St. Mary's in McHenry were present at the meeting.

Offer Computer Programs This Spring At College Classes in computer pro­ gramming using an assembly language are again being offered this spring semester at McHen­ ry County college. Data Processing 213 - Com­ puter Programming n is being offered on Thursday evenings and on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the daytime. The class utilizes the NEAT/3 lan­ guage to teach the basic fea­ tures of assembly language pro­ gramming. Those interested in attending need not be computer program­ mers, but should have some background in data processing with some exposure to computer programming. Registration is now in pro­ gress at the interim campus, 6200 Northwest highway, Crys­ tal Lake. Classes in computer pro­ gramming using COBOL (Com­ mon,, Business Oriented Lan­ guage) are scheduled for the spring semester at McHenry County college. The two main courses in this area are: 1. Data Processing 113 - Computer Programming I, where the emphasis is on learn­ ing and using COBOL, is of­ fered on Tuesday evenings and on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day. 2. Data Processing 214 - Computer Programming III, where more advance COBOL problems are covered, is of­ fered on Tuesday evenings. In both classes students run their own problems on the com­ puter at the college. For those students without any background in data proces­ sing the Introduction to Data Processing class is suggested. Two main programs of study in Data Processing are cur­ rently being offered at McHen­ ry County college. The program in Business Data Processing emphasizes computer pro­ gramming while the program in Unit Record Technology and Computer Operations empha­ sizes the use of IBM punched card equipment and the opera­ tion of the computer. Several college classes fit into both programs of study. In Data Processing these :£L_ es are: 1. Data Processing 110 - In­ troduction to Data Processing. 2. Data Processing 111 - Unit Record Equipment I. Both of these classes are be­ ing offered during the evening this spring semester at the col­ lege.

How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I clean stained wallpaper? A. Fingermarks will usually yield to a rubbing over with a piece of bread. A fresh grease spot will often come off if you hold a piece of blotting paper or facial tissue over it with a warm iron. Also, many marks can be effaced with a soft art- gum eraser. Q. What is a good treatment to add "burning life" to can­ dles? A. Candles will burn consid­ erably longer if given a coat of shellac, which tends to retain the molten wax around the wick, instead of its running down the sides of the candles. Q. What is a good formula for "homemade" furniture polish? A. Here's one excellent one: Mix two parts vinegar with one of olive oil. Put a small amount of this on a soft cloth and rub it well into the wood. Brings up a nice, fresh-looking gloss. Q. How can I cope with a light scorch on cottons? A. Wet the spot first with water, then cover with a thick paste of starch and water, let dry, then use a clean cloth and peroxide to sponge it off. Press the article again, and hang in the sun for several hours. * Q. How can I clean shrimp quickly and efficiently? A. Try using a toothpick for this chore, slipping it under the fine black thread along the back of the shrimp and lifting it off in one piece. Using a knife for this job often spoils the shape of the delicacy. Q. How can I keep my paint­ brushes soft and pliable? J A. After painting or varnish­ ing, and cleaning the brushes in the accepted manner, rub the bristles with petroleum jelly and store away in a dust-free place. This treatment will keep those brushes in ' excellent shape. Q. How can I insure knitted woolens' retaining their shape when laundering? A. By drying them blocked to shape on special dryers. Never put knitted woolens in an auto­ matic dryer! Q. How can I remove the old wax that has accumulated on my linoleum and has made it dull and streaky looking? A. By scrubbing with a solu­ tion of three parts water and one part alcohol. For an especially bad buildup of old wax, soap- filled steel wool pads and lots of elbow grease may be your only solution. Q. How can I remove tar stains from washable fabrics? A. First rub white petroleum jelly well into the stain, and scrape it off as it discolors. Add more petroleum jelly, and keep scraping until the tar is out. Follow this with a washing in heavy suds to cleanse the material of the jelly. Q. What is a good "substi- tue coconut" I can resort to when I am out of the real thing? A. Grated raw potato makes a good substitute coconut. Many other such handy little hints are contained in my household manual. Q. How can I remove lipstick stains from white linens? A. By soaking in strong vin- PG. 12 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JAN. 23,1970 egar. If the stain is on color­ ed material, use equal parts of vinegar and water. Q. How can I quickly and easily deal with black marks left on a linoleum floor by rub­ ber heels? A. If you'll sprinkle' some baking soda over them, they will usually wipe right up with a damp cloth or mop. Q. What can I do about the re­ moval of tar from carpets? A. Scrape off as much as pos­ sible, then treat with carbon tetrachloride...using this with CARE, in a well-ventilated room, since it is toxic! Q. How can I forestall the pos­ sibility of tarnish in costume jewelry in its box? A. By keeping a piece of or­ dinary blackboard chalk in the box. Q. How can I remove per- Melltta Charvat Named Winner Of DAR Award Melitta M. Charvat has been named recipient of Marian Cen­ tral Catholic high school's DAR Good Citizen award. The sen­ ior class of Marian nominated three girls who have been out­ standing in dependability, ser­ vice, leadership and patriotism. Members of Marian's faculty then chose Melitta from among the three nominees. Melitta is a ski instructor at Buffalo Park, a member of Mar­ ian's National Honor society, Student Council, G.A.A., and the chorus. fume stains from a fabric? A. Perfume stains are among the toughest to deal with, but you can try this: After wetting the spo t w i th water , work on . i t with some glycerin and a piece of cheesecloth, then rinse out with water.. If traces still re­ main, work on it some more with a 20 per cent solution of vin­ egar, and flush out with water. One complete section of my household-hints book is devoted to the treatment of spots and stains of all kinds. Q. What is the most efficient way of making a plaster mix? ^ A. By adding the plaster to the water, instead of the water *1o the plaster. I can't explain why, but this always seems to result in a better mix. Q. How can I , when making a spaghetti sauce, deal with the oil that sometimes accumulates on top of the sauce? A. If you'll stir in the juice of a half-lemon and cue table­ spoon of granulated sugar, all that grease will disappear. Q. How can I clean copper utensils? A. By use of a mixture con­ sisting of a cupful of flour and a tablespoon of salt, mixed to a paste with some vinegar. Rub this over the copper with a soft cloth, then polish with a flannel or chamois. Q. How can I prevent frost from forming on my windows during the wintry days? A.
