How can I make a good cleaner for silks, satins, or any kind of cloth? A. One fine cleaner for these fabrics is a paste made of granulated cornmeal and cleaning fluid. Cover the soiled areas with this, leave on for a short time, then brush off thoroughly. This leaves no rings or streaks. When brushing silk, use a piece of velvet. Q. How can I remove paint spatters from unpainted brick walls? A These are high on the list of tough ones, but one trick that usually works is to rub over the spatters with another piece of brick.

Procure a small tube of burnt umber oil paint from an artists' supply store, dab a small amount of this on a clean cloth, and rub into the gilt frame until you achieve the mellow shade you are seeking.

Fun Frank "horses" stand atop a macaroni salad and you have a tasty and complete meal as well as a unique decoration for your table. Easy to make, this Fun Frank Carousel will appeal to kids -- of all ages! FIN FRANK CAROUSEL 3 7-oz. boxes elbow 2 cups chopped celery macaroni cooked, drained l - / 2 cups chopped cucumber and cooled '/2 cup chopped green pepper 9 hard-cooked eggs, chopped 2 cups mayonnaise 1 tbsp. salt Eckrich Fun Franks x/2 cup sliced ripe olives Lettuce 1 3 cup minced onion Lightly mix together first eight ingredients. Add mayonnaise, toss lightly. Pour about a third of the salad into a nine or ten inch spring form pan. Arrange cut pieces of Fun Franks against the sides of the pan in a decorative design - the salad will help hold them in place. Pour remaining salad into pan, shaking it down to pack it evenly and firmly This will be the molded base of the carousel. Refrigerate overnight to chill thoroughly. Make horses for the carousel from Fun Franks. Cut one frank into three pieces -- a long piece for the body and two shorter pieces for the neck and head. Cut another Fun Frank in half crosswise and halves lengthwise to get four pieces of franks for the legs. Assemble the horses with toothpicks, using cloves for eyes and making a bridle from string. A six inch wooden skewer or slim sucker stick stands each horse upright on the carousel. For the roof over the carousel, cut a seven inch circle out of pa per, slash it once to the middle, overlap the two cut edges about an inch to give it . shape and tape together. A stick or straw can be used for the center post. To assemble the carousel, place the pan of salad upside down on lettuce lined plate and remove pan. Finish decorating sides, if desired. Set Fy^i Frank animals and roof on top of your salad base. REMEMBER: keep the salad cold so that it will retain its shape, removing it from the refrigerator just before serving.

Note the condescending manner in which a TV com­ mentator mentioned the basic hymns used at the funeral of0 former President Eisenhower. New York City must be subject to megalomania for it seems to think all wisdom resides there. But it has been kowtowing to effete Europe far too long, so how do you readers react to the suggestions below? By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE L-548: At the funeral of former President Eisenhower, some of his favorite church hymns were employed. These included "Onward Christian Soldiers," "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Faith of Our Fathers" ( In a -rather astonished and condescending voice, a TV commentator remarked: "Apparently those hymns are popular out there!" Many members of the communication media in New York City look upon the rest of the U.S.A. as being the "provinces" or the "hick frontier." Thus, they take a superior attitude and patronizing view of what they call "The Bible Belt." Because they work in man- made canyons of New York's Broadway or Wall Street and view the Empire State building, they become intoxicated with man's powerv In fact, many New Yorkers have transferred their worship from God Almight to the New York City doctors and cancer specialists. Their frenzy over cancer cures is an evidence of their terror of dying and lack of hope for a Hereafter. That is also why the center of the "Better Red than Dead" philosophy is New Nork City! When I was imported to New York for an address attacking the tendency to strip idealism, flowers and religious sentiment from funerals, one of the TV executives deleted my use of "Communistic Russian materialsim" regarding the deal "Dr. Crane," he deprecated, "we just don't use the word 'Communism' here in New York. "Such terms are outmoded and passe, don't you think?" But I disagreed and the recent campus rioting, plus street insurrections in America, are not spontaneous uprisings by patriotic American youth. Instead, our FBI has repeatedly pointed out the fact that they are actively fomented by imported professional trouble-makers, often of the Communist ilk. For when Khrushchev said Communism would destroy our American Republic and "free enterprise" system from within, and without any outside Russian bomb'ng assaults, he prophesied exactly what is happening. Many Eastern commentators are notorious for "slanting" their TV newscasts and for smearing the rest of the U.S.A. Two of the recent forms of insurance for maintaining our Republic and stopping the East Coast's asinine kowtowing to effete Europe, are these. (1) Locating our Air Force academy in Colorado. (2) The rise of California into the Number One spot in population and thus political power. New York City hates these two 20th Century changes. Wi COMPAN - s t a r t w i t h M A L a t 6 a theW of yourAM dial But a third should take place, namely, the removal of our National Capitol to some more centrally located spot, as Colorado. Our Founding Fathers ex­ pected it to be at a central spot. With Alaska and Hawaii as new states, it is now time to re­ locate the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court farther West. Leave our old Library of Congress and secondary federal offices in Washington, D C., but let's move the center of the government to Colorado!
