The next flea market Helping Paws will participate in will be inSeptember. The board based its decision on the fact that Helping Paws is just too short- handed to keep a booth manned at the four-day fair. Miss Carolyn Starrett, who had announced earlier that she no longer wished to be treasurer, has been replaced by Mrs. Pat Hamman of Crystal Lake.

QUESTIONS "Dear Editor: "Is there anything that can be done about the' road con­ ditions on Lily Lake road at Griswold Lake road. The heavy equipment trucks from the gravel pit there have some very bad holes. One is almost afraid to travel that road. "Also. I noticed today the condition of the American Flag on the firehouse at Lily Lake road and Rt. 120. It has been ripped from one end to the other. They should have more pride than to fly a flag in that condition. "Sincerely, "Dorothy Johnson" Service News RICHARD D. BARGER Richard D. Barger, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald E.

How can I remove a stain left on the outside of my car after a careless gasoline station attendant let the gasoline run • over? A. By rubbing with a solution consisting of a tablespoon of kerosene, to one cup of water. Q. How can I wash foam rubber cushions? A. First remove the covers, then dunk the cushions into clear, lukewarm water (no soap), and slowly squeeze to remove the water. Keep repeating this operation until the water runs clear. Q. How can I improvise a file for a rough fingernail when I don't have the real thing at hand? A. If you have a paperback match book, use the striking part of it to smooth the ragged fingernail. Q. How can I renovate old, cracked and soiled win- dowshades? A. Give them a new lease on life with some rubber-base paint. Q. How can I deal with un­ sightly white heat marks on tabletops? A. These can be removed by rubbing with a hard, paraffin wax candle, then covering with blotting paper and pressing with a warm iron. Repeat, if necessary.. Afterwards, rub well with a soft cloth to restore the finish. Q. How can I remove old finish from an antique piece of furniture? A. Scrub it with a strong solution of sal soda con­ centrate. Q. How can I freshen stale cake? A. Dip it just for a moment in cold, sweet milk, then heat in a moderate oven. Q. How can I resurrect some dented table tennis balls? A. They can often be renovated just by pouring boiling water over them. The heat of the water expands the air inside the balls, and the dents often pop right out. Q. How can I perform an inconspicuous mending job on some sheer curtains? A. Try applying a bit of colorless nailpolish and pressing the torn edges together with your fingers. The tear will be almost invisible. Q. How can I clean silver­ ware? A. One excellent agent for cleaning silverware is common laundry starch. Rub it on with a damp cloth, allow to stand for a few minutes, then rub off with cheesecloth. Q. Have you any tips for the easier starting of a new bottle of catsup? A. One easy way is to insert a soda straw into it. This permits air to get into the bottom of the bottle, which will encourage it to flow easily. Q. How can I remove stains from plastic dishes? A. If conventional soaps and detergents fail to remove the stains, soak the dishes for twenty minutes or so in a gallon of warm water to which a cup of bleach has been added. Then wipe with a dishcloth and wash in the usual manner. Roadways made of logs, buried under 6 to 8 feet of decayed vegetation, have been uncovered in west-central England. Roman roads, maybe??
