"RESTLESS SPIRIT" y Accept me now oh, tender mother, As I am laid upon thy breast' Enfold me ever '0 so gently For that long eternal rest. Lay me on some lonely hillside Maybe neath some lofty pine. Where the wind will whisper music Thru an ageless span of time. Plant about me stately lilies Fair by far of any field. So that their beauty be abotft me, And their fragance for others yield. Come and visit with me often Linger won't you for a while? So that I might hear your voice in laughter And see the beauty of your smile. V Winter winds will bring my covering A blanket white of drifted snow. And in the spring time, with the blossoms Over me the grass will grow. In the stillness 0f the evening Moonbeams play upon my face. And then the midnight moon in splendor Turns the pattern into lace. So out into the wild blue yonder Will my restless spirit flee, But I will return O gentle mother To be rocked so tenderly. So rock me ever 0, so tender Ease all pain, dear mother earth You are my comfort, now, and forever. You were my destiny, from time of birth. Estelle Harmon Baldwin 1308 North Court Street McHenry, 111. 60050 by Anne Ashley Q. How can I remove oil stains that have penetrated deeply into the concrete floor of my garage? A. Saturate some white flannel in a mixture of equal parts of acetone and amyl acetate, place over the stain, and cover with a slab of con­ crete or glass. Keep resaturating the cloth until the stain disappears. Q. What is the proper way to cut off excess carpeting? A. Turn the carpet upside down, and use a very sharp knife to sever the cords. As a guide for making a straight cut, keep the knife blade between two parallel filler or warp strands. Q. What can I do when the wax polish on my furniture begins to take on a streaky appearance? A. Very likely it's time to remove that old wax which has become mixed with dirt and has collected on the surface. Mild soap andlukewarm water will usually do the job, but don't let the soap remain on the furniture any length of time. Be sure, also, to polish or rewax the furniture immediately after washing it. Q. How can I clean pans that have become scorched by food adhering to them? A. Sprinkle some baking soda into the pans, let stand for a while, then scour them clean. Q. How can I render fat? A. Cut into pieces, or run through the food chopper. Then melt in your double boiler, and follow by straining through cheesecloth. Q. What can I do about small rag rugs that persist in curling or turning up at the ends or comers? A. Dipping the curling por­ tions of these rugs into a weak starch solution, after they have been washed, will usually keep them on the straightaway. Q. How can I renovate badly faded corduroy? A. You can dye it tan at little cost with an ounce of per­ manganate of potash. Dissolve this in a quart of water, add the solution to a vessel of water large enough to hold the cor­ duroy garments. Before dip­ ping the garment, test the solution with a piece of paper to determine the right shade. The garment should be dipped wrong side out, and allowed to remain in the solution only a few seconds at a time, until the desired shade is reached. Wring the article out thoroughly, rinse in clear water, and hang in a shady place to dry. Q. What is your "formula" for removing a very tight- fitting ring from the finger? A. It is very seldom that a tight ring cannot be removed after the hand has been held in ice-cold soapsuds for a few minutes. Q. Is there anything that can be done about white fur that has yellowed? A. Sometimes this can be overcome by spraying on a solution of hydrogen peroxide or by brushing with a soft brush. And, sometimes hanging the fur in the sun afterwards will speed up the rebleaching process.

We feel old timers may well have happy memories of their own childhood as they read it. REMEMBERING We can't help but think as we're growing old Of when we were young and I didn't feel the cold; We were so happy to see the snow It meant to "flip" bobs we'd be able to go, To slide our small hill gave us such a thrill, Our bones didn't break when we had a spill. No coach to teach us, but we had fun Playing "Crack the Whip" and "Run Sheep Run", No costly equipment was needed to play And we carried a lunch box to school each day; Though not in grand style, we made our way In a world that seemed better than it is today. by Mayme Buss BUTTERFLY - FLUTTER-by Flutter, flutter, on gossamer wings, Such delicate, lovely, colorful things. Flutter here and flutter there, Past my watchful, wondering stare. I wonder, but can't reason why, We call you Butterfly instead of Flutterby. By Maureen M.J. Frantz
