By Dorothy Bihiman
OF course, constant use is the
best method to keep your silver
bright and attractive in appearance
because silver in daily use seldom
needs polishing. Naturally, this
suggestion applies only to your fat
silverware and not to those acces-
sorry pieces such as candlesticks and
card trays that are out constantly,
but are not washed daily. These
must be cleaned frequently with a
good cleaner and we all know that
chore takes time. To reduce tarnish
on these display pieces or upon
silver used infrequently, coat with
q "tarnish preventer". 1t is a color
less liquid that is harmless to the
finest silver. Follow these simple
suggestions. First, the sMer must
be cleaned and polished. Then
moisten a cloth with the preventer
and wipe over the silver, making
sure to cover every portion. The
product will dry almost Immediately.
Next, wipe the piece thoroughly
with q clean cloth and the more
you rub the liquid into the silver
the better the protection. When
finished, your silver will retain its
original beautiful brillance for a
long time. Even after tarnish first
begins to appear, the piece is
quickly restored to its original sheen
by wiping it with a clean, soft
cloth. To remove this protective
covering. just wash with soap and
water. It is not practical to apply
this to fiatware or vegetable dishes,
or sugar and creamer sets that are
used daily, for the covering must
be removed before you can use any
dish that comes in contact with
food. However, you'll save yourself
time and energy by applying the
product to those many articles that
for months on end are simply SHOW
pieces"

Here's a real boon to the busy
housewife! Wax paper that seals
itself! Your first thought when you
see this new product will be What
will they think of next to make
life earier?" The secret of this
waxed paper is that the inner side
is gummed. the outer side is heavily
waxed. The inner side sticks only
to itself, nothing else, so it won't
affect any food sealed within. The
paper is odorless. makes an alright
package and just a fingertip touch
seals it. 1t would be wonderful to
use when packing dads or the
childrens lunch yet would be per-
feet for bowl covers and for wrap

fore storing in refrigerator. You
can obtain large roll consisting
of about 200 feet Of paper for a
nominal cost.
The new infra red ray br0iler is
an electrical specialist" utilizing
infra red rays and very high heat
concentration. The manufacturer
claims it exhales the used air, while
inhaling fresh air from the bottom
of the broiler, up through the side
channels of the shelves in the wire
rack. This is a brand new item
which is now stocked in one of the
large stores. There Is no pre-heat-
Ing necessary, there's no smoke, and
you'll find it will cook steak with
that "out-of doors, charcoal-broiled
flavor in approximately five to
seven minutes. It gives similar
performance with all foods that can
be broiled. The broiler is heavily
triple plated first with copper, then
heavy coating of nickel on top,
and finished with chrome plate. II

It is often disappointment to see the
summer season end. Flowers and leaves
will soon be gone. Warm, sunny days will
soon be replaced by cold, dreary ones. Out
door activities will be few
And yet, there are compensations. Who
does not delight in tasting the first pumpkin
pie of the season? And who does not enjoy
tramping through brightly autumn
leaves? And then follows sleigh-riding in
the snow, cozy evenings before an open fire;
and then Spring again. Each season of the
year brings new pleasures to replace the
old ones.
Just as God gives us many and endur-
ing blessings in the changing seasons, so
does he offer us rich spiritual rewards.
Month after month"; season after season, and
year after year, the Church stands ready and
willing to give us comfort, hope, and inspira-
ton. Great success or utter failure may
await us. Either may be disastrous We can
better face the many changes in our daily
living by attending the services of the
Church.

| Hoffman, ECAChief,
Leaves for China 10
StudyFundDis

NEW YORK, Dec. Paul G.
Hoffman. Economic Cooperation
Administrator, left today en- route
to China, where he will study ways
OF spending more than $100, ,000, 900
in ECA funds.
Mr.. Hoffman said his visit to
China was planned before the recent
Communist military successes, which
he said he "deplored."
He said that from $50, 900 900 to
$160, 600 900 of the s275, ,000, 900 allotted
to China has been spent or COM
mitted.
The military situation already has
affected the ECA program, Mr.. Hoff-
man said. and part Of his job will be
to study whether some $7,000, 900
earmarked for reconstruction in
Central and South China, can be
spent for that purpose.
If it cannot, he added, about $780,
100000 of it could be used for raw
materials or food.
LAS far as I know" he said,
president Truman's attitude is one
of continuing friendship to China. :"
I'm China our whole effort is to
handle the situation in such way
as to convince the Chinese people
of our friendly interest"
Mr.. Hoffman said he would first
spend three days in London con-
sulting with George Humphrey,
chairman of the ECA Industrial Ad-
visory Committee, on whether some
plants marked for dismant!ing in
Germany should be retained because
of their Importance to the ECA.
He will leave London Wednesday
by plane for Shanghai and spend
four and half days in China, later
visiting Korea and Japan.
In Japan, he said, he would con-
fer with Gen. Macarthur to obtain
whatever information I can on the
Far East"
