COMMENT;
HOLES IN HOSE.
(From Mrs. H. H. r., Arlington.) }
First, I want to thank you for
the valuable information you so
kindly sent me in Florida about
washing Venetian blinds. Mine were
wood and washed as nicely as my
steel ones do here. However, it is
necessary to keep the wood head
ing out Of the water, or 1t will
warp.
For Mrs. M. E. B., Washington:
I do not believe 1t is the fault OF
her shoes that wear out the upper
heel Of her hose. II she will ex-
anime her heel, during the winter
when persons skin chaps so
easily, she, in all probability, will
find it very rough. That is the
way mine are during cold weather.
To remedy this, rub parafin over
rough parts each morning. I be-
lieve your troubles will be over.

GAMES.
(Front Mrs. S. L. H., WGshington.)
Mrs. M. K. M. Of Alexandria asks
about entertaining a group Of 2 to S
year olds with games and perhaps
I can help, as am former nursery
school teacher and now a mother
Of three, all under 4. 1t Is diff
cult to catch and hold the atten-
ton of so young a group for long
enough period to play game, there
fore the simpler the better.
l. Sit in a ring on the floor,
place two blocks on top of each
other in center. Each child has a
turn rolling a ball at the blocks
trying to knock them over. Sue
cess is rewarded by the group clap
ping.
@ Sitting in ring on the floor
with hands behind their backs, one
child walks around outside Of circle
and leaves an object in the hand

catch the first child-like drop the

3. 1t is difficult for them to keep
a circle for walking around and
playing singing games, but stand
ing-still" versions of mulberry bush,
round and round the village, farmer
in the dell, cat and mouse, etc.,
may be attempted.
4. One child may hide an object
and another goes to look for 1t,
while the group enjoys knowing
where it is, but not telling the secret
Actually, it is better not to rely
children, although short period
of games, especially when they are
indoors, may be helpful. For sew
eral months one winter I had a
group of 10 children in co-opera-
tive arrangement where some paid
81 month to cover new books; ex-
pendables such as paper, crayons,
clay, tissues, midmorning juice or
crackers, ETC., and other mothers
took turns taking care of my baby,
who was too young for the group.
Every day each child brought
toy (fragile ones not allowed) to
share with the group. One boy
had a set of Holgate blocks which
came every day, another brought
train. Boxes, shovels and baby
food or other cans carefully opened,
beads or spools to string, wagons or
wheelbarrowS are good, and may I
suggest sand hoX or gravel nit as
great aid? Congratulations to
Mrs. M. K. NJ and more power to
her for her. grand idea.

FEW HINTS.
From Mrs. J. L. w., Mystic, Conn. J
I have received a good deal of
advice from your column so am
sending in few hints. When clean
ing windows if you do not have
any ammonia, why not try the same
amount of witch-hazel as you
would ammonia in the water, and
the result will please you I'm sure.
When making your starch, put a
small amount Of soapy water in
your starch and your clothes or
curtains will not stick to the iron.
This is especially nice for curtains.

PIE MIX?
FROZEN CUSTARD?
(Fron, Mrs. II. w., Arlington.)
I wonder if someone could help
me with two of my problems. My
sister and I both use the same
ready mix for pies. Yet hers comes
out tender and flaky and mine
comes out dry and crumbly. Can
any one tell me what 1 do wrong !?
Does any kind reader know the
secret OF making frozen custard
such as you buy in these white
stands around Washington? Our
family prefers it to ice cream be-
cause of its texture and taste.

YEAST DOUGH.
from Mrs. A. w. w., Washington.)
Last week a reader wrote ask
Ing how to prevent crust form
ing on yeast dough kept in the
refrigerator over a period of sew
eral days. I have found that the
only way can do this is by work
ing the dough every day. Take it
out of the refrigerator and let it
stand while-for it is to cold and
stiff to work at first. I work my
dough, knead it thoroughly, turn it
upside down and work it some more,
tuck the loose ends down to the
bottom of the bowl, grease lightly,
cover with a damp rag, then waxed
paper. This is a good bit of trou-
BILE to do every day, but ! have
found no other method which
works. This way no crust ever
forms and the dough can be kept
Indefinitely.

HEADS WESTERN WORK
AMONG ADVENTI5TS

CHICAGO, Jan. 18 (ANP)-
Rev. Owen A. Troy, former Chi
cago minister who is pastoring in
Pasadena, CAL, where he directs the
well-known Sweet Chariot hour
broadcast, has been appointed Sec
retary of the colored department of
the Pacific Union conference of
Seventh-day Adventists, denomina-
tional officials announced.
AS secretary of this department,
Rev. Troy becomes member of the
government committee of this west
ern conference and will have the
oversight of the work in California,
Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Hawaii.
He is a member of the advisory
council of the North American
Colored department with head
quarters at Washington, D. C. He
has been elected a delegate to the
World conference of Seventh-day
Adventists which will convene in ST.
Louis next May.
The new secretary has a rich
background of training and expert
ence. A native Californian, Rev.
Troy on completing college served
as assistant pastor in the Los An
geles' denominations church. Then
he was called to Oakland to become
the first pastor of the Market street
church. Shortly after organizing
the first Seventh-day Adventist
church in San Francisco, he was
called to Chicago to pastor the Shi-
loh church which was the leading
church in the denomination. His
work in Chicago along educational
and medical lines attracted national
attention.
His wife, Ruby Bontemps Troy,
is sister of the noted author, Arna
Bontemps. She is an active church
worker. Their only son is student
at their alma mater, Pacific Union
college. Mrs. Troy also has a degree
from the Chicago Conservatory of
Music. Rev. Troy is a candidate for
the doctor Of theology degree, hav-
ing recently completed all his resi-
dence work at the University of
Southern California.

be explained to union members at
two meetings Monday, UE officials
announced last night.
Delco Products strikers will meet
at 9. a m. at headquarters of Local
755. Frigidaire Local 8O1 has called
its meeting for p. m.
The union has also announced
scheduled mass picketing, in ac-
cordance with the terms of the in
junction, will be held each Monday
at 6 a. m. at the two plants.
In joint statement, Henry Fier-
ing, international representative
Ralph E. Moses, president of Local
8O1, and E. J. Kraft, president of
Local 755, said: '"The injunction,
which permits the same type of
peaceful, unrestricted and unlimited
picketing as has heretofore been
carried on, actually compliments
the union on the manner in which
this strike has been conducted.
''The union recognizes that under
the existing law in Ohio, it is almost
impossible for a court to avoid the
issuance of an injunction on the re-
quest of company.
"The type of injunction issued,
however, the bounds of which are
determined by the judge, clearly
recognizes in this case that the
union merely exercised it's legal
rights and made no attempt to use
other than legal means to close the
plant operations"
With a strike call set for mid
night tomorrow, Duriron Foundry
employees, members of United Steel
workers of America (USA), clio,
Local 1920, have been asked by their
president, Joseph Kreutzer, to listen
to a broadcast over station WSAI at

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower promised
homesick CPS and their families to-
night that the revised demobiliza-
ton schedule will be carried out
to the letter."
The chief of staff said, however,
in an address prepared for broad
cast to the nation and by shortwave
to posts all over the world, that the
Army will have to abandon some of
its present occupation and liquida-
ton tasks if it fails to retain 1,5OO,-
600 men July /.
There is no alternative" he said
bluntly.
Eisenhower advised that 'this is
a time when maturity and wisdom
must assert themselves for the
safety of this nations future"
81 know how homesickness and
boredom may fill soldiers letters
with disturbing sense of his own
unimportance in the pattern of
Army life" he went on. "But our
Army is playing a great role in
troubled world. AS each of us
comes to understand this truth,
then he will take pride in the part
he is playing.
'The fight has stopped. The
urgency Of war has gone. But we
have new urgency-the necessity
OF building secure peace-a peace
purchased with the lives of our
comrades. The Army's mission is
to do its part in establishing and
assuring this peace and to support
our country in the great co-opera-
tive venture of nations.
"For myself, | feel that the
practical common sense which is
Americas birthright will conquer
the sharp pangs of disappoint-
ment."
Expressing the hope that his ex-
PLANTATION would reach every family
at home with loved one overseas,
as we'll as the men and women still
in uniform, Eisenhower detailed
current rehabilitation in terms
similar to those he used this week
before members of congress.
He said the situation had suffered
much from "misunderstanding."
Every man, both abroad and at
home, who is surplus to our needs
and who cannot profitably take the
place of a higher point man, is to
be discharged as rapidly as he can
be processed," Eisenhower pledged

work and useless drill"
