TELEPHONE ADVERTISING.
From Mrs. r. D. P, Silper Spring.
You have touched on a subject
near. but very sore to my heart.
I. too, am furious!
It's bad enough to find that the
mailmans only contribution for
the day is a handful Of ads. and
it's very annoying to have to
listen to favorite radio programs
interrupted by commercials. at
least it's possible to turn them
off. But. the acme of all annoy
ances is to have the privacy of
ones home invaded by telephone
advertising.
For a long time I have con-
sidered writing to my Congress-
man or the editors of several
newspapers. It might help.
Surely something can be done
to stop this plague. As yet I
have not yielded to the rude
temptation to hang up the re-
ceiver, but some day in despera-
ton I may do just that.
AS far as I'm concerned all
ads can be left to the newspapers
and telephone books. Then a
person can take them or leave
them as 1t pleases him and not
have meals and babies baths
interrupted or indefinitely post
poned.

TWO QUERIES?
HINT


(From Mrs. G. B. S., WashinotonJ
I am in need OF advice and. OF
course, turn to the readers OF
this wonderful column. I should
like to find q closely woven grass
or straw mat, preferably larger
than place-mat size. Most of all I
want the Madagascar type straw.
or one similar. The usual sort of
mat is too coarse for my purpose.
Another want" I have is a sub
stitute for glass, a material that
is light in weight and non-break-
able, yet clear and transparent.
In this plastic age, there must be
some product sold in large sheets,
perhaps. that fills the above re-
quirements. I want to use it for
covering prints on a pin-up board
and to glaze" doors of hobby
cabinets.
To offer a bit of advice based
on personal experience. I recon-
mend the use of cellulose sponges
for all cleaning jobs. even dish
washing. washing leaves of plants,
tile, walls, floors. porcelain FIX
lures. etc. The sponges come in
several sizes and can be cut easily
with a knife. They are time and
labor saving, more sanitary. too.
I am indebted to the RICH con-
tributor who first suggested this
cleaning method.
"DEVOTA"?
From Mrs. H. B. r., ArlinotonJ
would like to know If any of
the RICH readers have read any
of the books written by Augusta j.
Evans (WilsonD. I think she
wrote her first book. "Inez" in
1856. She wrote eight books. and
died before finishing the ninth,
which was called "Devota," writ
ten in 1907.
These books were in my
mothers and gpApdmother's day
and are now out W print. I think
it would be next to impossible to
find them in a second hand store.
I have read all but the last one
and would like to know If any one
knows where I could get a copy
of Devota. I have heard that
some of her family completed the
book after she died. They were
beautifully written books. and had
such q depth of character.

Yasha Heifetz can always be

fectively the function Of art in
home furnishings. They fall into
four groups; ceramics. metals

combination Of wood with metal.
In addition, there is a group OF
wall lamps.
Exploring new and unusual
treatments for glaze finishes. has
resulted in subtle colorings and
textures, that distinguishes the
ceramic group. There are II
lamps in this collection, most
large and important in scale.

Having spent over 10 years &C
cumulating rare woods from va

Heifetz confirms, with the intro
duction of these wood sculptures
in abstract and emi-abstract
form, that the ancient art OF
wood carving is not entirely lost.
According to a statement issued
by Mr.. Heifetz: The beauty Of
wood is more than skin deep.

craftsmen with the knowledge
and appreciation which comes

The copper and brass group are
also large in scale, and while they
are developed from fiat sheets of
metal in silhouette form, the de-
signer has given them a three
dimensional quality by altering
the planes of the metal. One of
the most outstanding in this
group is a horses head. executed
in copper or brass. which is per-
mitted to retain its character by
a simple shade OF unbleached
Irish linen.
The wood group is the combined
efforts of Mr.. Heifetz and Ben
Fischer. Some bases are in the

KEEPING EASTER LILY.
MEAT IN PRESSURE COOKER?
From Mrs. G. I. MacL., Wash
inoton)
For Mrs. r. o. S., regarding the
keeping Of an Easter lily: One
was given to me Easter a year ago.
After it finished blooming. I kept
It around the house for a while
until the leaves started to turn
yellow. Then I planted 1t in the
garden, watering it well. Then I
forgot it. A couple Of weeks ago I
was delighted to find two blooms
on it. That was all there was
to 1t.
Will some one please advise me
about cooking meat in a pressure
cooker? It is important to have
it tender for some one just home
from the hospital, but when try
to cook, it in my pressure cooker
it comes out stringy. .~
What do I do wrong to make it
that way, and how can I pre-
vent it?
RICE STITCH?
From Mrs. w. L. s., Washington
I wonder if some kind reader

ToDAY's ADDRESS

ly the Governor or the Admins
traitor or both attended all sessions
of the Municipal Council. l have
always opposed that old plan of a
representative of the Executive
branch attending all sessions of
the Legislature. That system at
times tended toward one branch
of government dominating the
other. However, at the other ex-
IRENE, it is equally undesirable for
the Legislature to act without
seeking o. considering the views
Of the Executive on matters re-
quiring Executive approval.
One additional observation, and
l shall have finished. In every
community there is a certain
amount of irresponsible criticism.
There will in all probability al
ways be people who make wild
and irresponsible statements with
out knowing or very much caring
what the facts are, Sc long as they
can say something exciting or
sensational to an audience. I hope
and ask h t, as concerns the
operation of our Municipal gov
eminent, this Council will help
me to make such wild and ire
sponsible talk unpopular in st.
Croix. / shall look to the Council
itself for sober and informed cri-
ticiSm. / am confident that we can
count on the members to speak
freely and fully, without sparing
anyone, when they know the
facts; and, at the same time, to
withhold criticism and Judgment
until they r sure that they have
the facts. In that way we can de-
velop effective and satisfactory
team work.
congratulate the officers of the
Council upon their election. All
Of us face heavy responsibilities.
I hope that we shall meet. them
with credit to ourselves and bene-
fit to the Municipality.

Separate Action Urged.
The entire ECA program is af-
fected by the lapse of statutory
authority. The committee decided
however, to recommend separate
Legislation on the European and
the Oriental operations. In It's
report on the China aid extension
bill 1t commented:
The China situation is In q
state Of fiux. 1t Is not possible at
the moment to deal with it in
long-range terms. In this. it con-
trasts with the Western European
situation; for Western Europe, the
United States has q settled pro-

So, the stopgap bill to be Of

let the leftover $4,000 900 be
spent. It would authorize the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
to advance up to $50. 0.000, 900 of 1t,
pending action on an appropria-
ton bill item. which would have
to follow the authorization.
None of the money could be
used for assistance in areas con-
trolled by Chinese Communists.
In recommending approval of
the bill, the committee empha-
sized its short-term character. 1t
emphasized the new authorization
would permit continuance of the
aid program at the present rate
for no more than few months.
China Rural Aid to Go on.
The committee expressed the
hope Congress will be able to de-

should be left to care for It's own
misery or should be assisted by
the United States on a long-range
basis.

Open title, was tapping in 10
footers on the practice putting
green at Prince Georges yes
terday when Mrs. Richard
Kreuzburg, one of the Districts
top women golfers, walked up
to say hello.
Mrs. Kreuzburg was Heaf-
ner's partner in a pro-lady
golf tournament in Pinehurst
the past spring, The former
Kenwood women's champion
recalled how much she enjoyed
the round - but confessed to
Heafner that she stood on the
first tee that morning with
trepidations.
Il didn't sleep wink the
night before" Mrs. Kreuzburg
recalled, because I had heard
that you were the meanest man
in the world and frankly I was
scared to death
Heafner has tossed a few
clubs in his day and has other
ways of showing his displeasure,
but the tales of his bad be-
havior had been greatly exag-
gerated to Mrs. Kreuzburg.
Really he was one of the
incest playing partners I've
ever had" Mrs. Kreuzburg
added, and wished the big fell
low luck in the $4,000 Wash
ington Star Open that started
today.
Heafner was telling a story
on himself that happened at
the National Open in Chicago
last month. He had just fin
ished his last round in the Open
and was in the locker room
when he heard Jimmy Demaret
telling a reporter how Heafner
played the final 18.
For some reason Jimmy was
