Standards
ofConduct
By Angelo Potri

FaCnefS VINO came up the hard
way. working against great odds
Iunaided by family or friends, are
likely to look at their carefree sons
grudgingly and perhaps with jeal-
louSy. When was your age
You know the story.
I This is not fair. Father had nc
cars, no splendid school such as
this boy was born to. Father hao
no leisure time, no band to play
in, no dance to go to, no team tt
play on. His son has all these
things. His father gave them tc
him. Why blame the boy be-
cause he enjoys them?
Think a bit about the boy. He
gets good ratings from his teach
Iers. His schoolmates like him, sc
do the neighbors. He works after
school hours and cheerfully agree;
to save part Of his funds for his
education, part for his clothes
the rest for spending, all under
fathers supervision. Is that bad
I think it is very good.
But when he is given a job he
hurries through it and does not dc
his best. When he has to clear
the garage he just sweeps it. He
doesn't dust anything. The COR
Iners are none too clean, either. He
is in too much of a hurry to get
off to his own business.
can't get excited about that
either. A boy in high school to-
day is a busy boy. When. added
to that. he works after school ano
in vacation time, uses his money
wisely, he ought to have some free
time. If he hurries his chore a
bit. skimps little, it is to be ex-
pected. Nobody. not even the
good man who earned his place
against heavy odds and wants his
son to be strong, sturdy and en-
during, can expect 100 per cent
of a child. Better settle for less
lest we lose what we have by dis
couraging the child completely.
When a child does we'll praise
him. When he shows RESPONSE
bility let him know he is trusted
more. When he fails to reach q
high standard praise him for what
he did and wait for an opportune
time to praise a thorough jot
some one else did. That will
register more than fault finding.
! The years bring changes. The
boy and girl of today are born into
a world of speed; time is measured
in terms of electric power and il
is our speeded life that affords us
leisure. Father rose at dawn tc
walk miles to his job. Son goes
to high school and college, has a
car and does not have to do what
father did.
Changes come but the funda-
mentals of character do not
change. 1t is with these that
fathers and mothers should be
concerned. Any young person
whose character is sound will ar
rive at a standard that even the
self made father can approve.

Know what to expect cleaning
wise from any purchase you make,
DR.. Dorothy Lyle, director of con-
sumer education for the National
Institute of Cleaning and Dyeing,
cautioned in our first story on the
subject last week. In second
article, the standards you can ex-
Ipect a quality cleaner to maintain
we're outlined.
Now we'd like to say something
about longer life through care
The naive misconception that
cleaning will whisk away all soil
and stains from a garment, nc
matter how you've treated it. is an
expensive one. Keep these things
III mind, the NICD counsels, il
you would treat your wardrobe
properly:
Brush garments and household
textiles frequently. Dust, dirt and
CRIME have a cutting action on
textiles.
Place garments on hanger i'm
mediately when taken off. and air
them thoroughly before hanging
them in clothes closet. This gives
the fabric time to relax and revert
to its normal condition before its
next wearing.
Don't wear the same garment
day after day. Alternating gar
Iments gives the fabric chance to
become free of wrinkles and to re-
turn to the shape built into the
garment.
Have your clothes cleaned fire.
Iquently-the longer soil remains
in a garment, the more deeply it
becomes ground into the flbers,
the more vigorous the treatment
necessary to remove it.
Never allow a garment to hang
Iuncleaned from one season to the
next. Age will set any stains and
make them difficult. if not i'm
possible. to remove. Soil will also
attract moths and other insects.
For Stoin Control
When handling stains, remem-
ber these things: Avoid heat! Do
not press over anything that has
been spilled on a fabric. Heat
sets a stain.
Don't rub! If you get a stain
on your garment. avoid rubbing
the stain with either water or a

Corn Fritters

Corn is the vegetable of the
hour-and what bette than de.
licious corn fritters?
Cook ears of garden fresh
corn for just a short time-unti
just tender. Crate the kernels
from the cob, and mix with just
enough -four to hold. II too dry
add a little milk. The corn should
make a stiff dough.
Form into fiat cakes with the
hands. and cook on a hot creased
griddle to a light brown. Serve at
once.
Wonderful, especially with fried
chicken with cream gravy.

are guaranteed not to damage
fabrics, wrongly used they will re-
suit in fabric damage. Follow the
manufacturers directions in using
these products.
Take care, take care when you
do your nails! Some nail polisheS
and removerS cause permanent
damage to cellulose acetate rayon
They partially dissolve the fiberS
and cause a stiffened or hardened
area. Some of these products are
destructive to the color of a fabric
It's wise to have a good publ
cation OH home removal of stains
such as that published by the De-
partment of Agriculture. on hano
for data on quick, effective treat
nent of stains.
A word about pressing: Fol
best results. pad the ironing board
so it provides a resilient surface
Use a sleeve board to press sleeves
and dressmaking details. Press
garments on the reverse side
Check the temperature of the iron
If moisture is needed. place a dry
cloth on the fabric surface. then a
cheesecloth wrung out in water
and then a muslin cloth atop the
Icheesecloth. To avoid seam OF
Ipleat impression place a piece OF
tissue paper between the garment
and the seam allowance.
About storing: Before storing
any garment. have it clean, free
from spots, stains and perSpira-
ton. Garments must also be pro-
Itected from moths and insects
When stored in the home they
should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in a sealed bag or box,
Never place moth or insect con-
Itrol preparations directly on a
fabric, the NICD declares. Such
a practice may result in color and
fabric damage. Having your
clothes stored professionally, OF
course, gives you the best protec-
ton against moths, insects, fire
and theft.

HOME FREEZERS


From Mrs. p. NJ. c., Alexandria. 1.j
! Last May we made about 30C
sandwiches for a picnic and
stored them in our freezer for a
week before the picnic. We found
that we did not need to take all
of them out at that time and SC
we have been using them for two
months. We ate the last one
last week, and it was as good as
the day it was made.
/ We made two kinds, one was
ground medium sharp cheese,
ground stuffed olives and the salad
dressing from the store named for
two oceans. The other kind was
ground ham, sweet pickle relish
and the same salad dressing above
named. We packed each sandwich
separately in a paper sandwich
bag and then put several of these
in a large polyethylene bag,
twisted the top and put a rubber
band on it. When we thaWed
them, we were careful to leave
them in the paper sandwich bag,
because the room moisture will
gather on it and make it Soggy if
it is removed from the bag. Some
OF these we toasted in the broiler
without thaWing. BY the time the
bread is toasted each side the
whole sandwich is toasted. Re
move the bag to toast, of course.
We have had very good luck
with baked pies and cakes. We
Just put them in a polyethylene
bag, twist the top and put on a
rubber band. They keep perfect
ly and so does baked bread. Be
sure to remember to thaw every
thing in the bag.
For canning, we like the glass
jars best, for they can be scalded
and used over and over. Regular
Mason jars are not suitable, un-
less you have plenty of time to
thaw your food. But the freezer
jars have sloped sides and wide
mouths and the frozen food will
slide out when held under hot wa
ter for minute.
Last summer we canned sweet
corn and it tastes exactly like
fresh corn. We cut it from the
cob. put it in skillet with butter.
salt and pepper and little water
to keep it from sticking. Cooked
it about 10 minutes. then we put it
into the jars. let it cool and froze
it. When it is opened. it needs
only to be warmed and it is ready
to eat. We really do enjoy our
freezer and heartily recommend
one.

NEWSPAPER LOGS?

From Mrs. X. ". H., Chevy Chase }
Can any one tell me exactly how
to prepare newspapers for burn
ing in a fireplace as a substitute
for fireWood? I understand the
papers are soaked in some solu-
ton. Does any one know what
the solution is and what the exact
proportions are to prepare it?

STRAIGHT HENS.

From Mrs. E. NJ. S., HydttSUilleJ
My method for hanging a cir
cular skirt is as follows. Hens
must be shallow, | inch is wide
enough because of the difficulty
in making the hem lie fat; this
plus the seam binding makes a
suitable depth. Circular skirts
being difficult at best, only ma
terials with a firm body should
be chosen. such as WOOL, vel
veteen, taffeta or firm cotton.
Measure the front, back and side
seams of any dress which hangs
perfectly (circular skirts may be
somewhat shorter than others:
mark these measurements in cor
responding places on the skirt as
it lies spread out in a circle, then
pin the hem up closely to cor
respond, working from waistline
radius. Try on and make ad-
justments. which should be slight.
Press very lightly moderate iron,
damp cloth, if WOOL. If the hem
appears even, carefully trim to
desired depth and run silk basting
thread inside the raw edge to
take up the ripple. sSilk thread
makes for smoother handling;
also leaves no press marks.) Ad-
just to f1t skirt (as it lies fat
and give final pressing. This
should take out entirely much Of
the ripple and will flatten any
remaining gathers. Machine stitch
seam Binding over raw edge of
hem and daintily tack hem Down
by hand. Incidentally, a circular
skirt should be allowed to hang
up for a day or two before any
hem is attempted at all. to allow
all unnatural sag to show UP be-
fore final finishing.

"THANK-YOU" NOTE.
From J. T., HydttSUille.D }

I received a very nice letter
from Mrs. H. S. M, concerning my
request for information regard
ing building a house from used
material. After reading her nice
letter and after having taken her
advice about getting some books
on the subject from the library. I
realize this would be quite an
undertaking. l will find some
thing on re-modeling and maybe
this will be better. Anyway, thank
you so much for helping me.
