Calcium deficiency is one of
the causes of aging"
This is quotation from one of
today's distinguished authorities.
Our ordinary menu is deficient In
calcium. Animals which are de-
prived of calcium for 10 days be-
come weak and are susceptible to
early death. This mineral is es-
sential for good heart action and
nerve action would be impossible
without it.
Calcium is used in everyday &C
tivities and is used in great guam
titles during work and particularly
in times of emotional turmoil.
The latest idea is that calcium
in excess of normal needs gives
one a sense of well being. CAL
cium is the friend of youth, no
matter how old you are.
Yet the average grown man or
woman is apt to feel that milk,
the source most easily relied on
for calcium, is essential only for
the young. This is far from the
truth. Calcium is important and
necessary at any age but espe-
cially as one grows older.
The usual man or woman from
middle age on is likely to be in
creasingly deficient in calcium
proteins, iron, vitamin B complex
and vitamin A. If you hold ir
your heart a wish to live vibrantlS
or years longer than average yo,
must carefully investigate anc
reinforce against these natura
tendencies.
If you eat a well-balanced die
and drink quart of milk a da!
your calcium need has probabl,
been taken care of. Many physi
clans. however, sometimes pre-
scribe extra calcium portion

something you should discuss
with your doctor.
You should know that some
foods contain oxalic acid. This
binds calcium so that your system
is robbed of it. Spinach, cocoa
and beet green's, although fine

would do better to concentrate on
turnip greens, dandelion green's
and kale which do not contain
oxalic acid.

There are many surplus" wom-
en- in the world without whom
society could get along very we'll
But let me hasten to add that this
business of being surplus, or un-
needed. has nothing to do with
an individuals marital status.
Yet it is a common complaint
of unmarried women. especially
of mature years, that they are
members of a sort of leftover
group. No doubt some are. but
they should look to some other
reason for their uSeleSSness. Moth
ing could be more obvious than
that the world has great need OF
noble women, married and un-
married. and neither group has
any monopoly on nobility.
I've turned to this subject today
because of a letter from Miss de F.
who, I think, needs to look upon
herself with more kindly eyes and
not so much self-pity. II reao

that she is a discard"
That is how one woman views
the matter. Now, let's examine
the attitude of another intelligent
unmarried woman, M. B. Smith
as expressed in her book, "The
Single Woman Of Today" Sure
ly," she says, "the surplus women
are those, whether married
or unmarried, whose lives are
those of idle pleasure, and who
are the victims of ennui, unrest
and morbid fancy because they
despise the activities of the age
into which they were born.
"They are the surplus women

ciple that they will accept any

be on the shelf. Yes, they are
the surplus women who, anchored
in the haven of husbands love
and surrounded by the hard
earned luxury of his toll, are
stepped in self1shness. rebelling
against motherhood, refusing phil
|anthropy and answering the plea
of their less fortunate sisters with
the shameful iteration, I have
all the rights I want They are
superfluous who know no loftier
aspiration than to be admitted to
the gilded circle called society, to
whom the tittle-tattle of gossip is
as the nectar Of the gods. and
who are bored without scandal
and intrigue"
Miss Smith makes a point that
Is powerful with truth. All read
ers of my column know the i'm
portance I place upon marriage,
but the man or woman who. for
good reason. is unable to marry,
can yet make an extremely i'm
portant contribution to the world
in sharp contrast to some para
sites who achieve marriage.
Other fine things besides Miss
Smiths book have been written
on this subject and I have pre-
pared a list of some of them which
will be sent with the compliments
of The Evening Star to any one
who requests 1t. Ask for my read
ing list, "T'he Single Woman" and
please inclose a stamped, self

when it comes to refinishing fur

This is one of the first things
Mrs. Clyde K. Bodine impresses
on her students in her class ir
Irefinishing antiques at the Ar
llington County Department oi
Recreation at 4811 North Third
street in Arlington.
Most of the women dust the
furniture at first" Mrs. Bodine
explained. But good hard rub.
bing from the shoulder is the
thing that works wonders on old
Iuncared-for pieces. AS a matter
of fact, if using oil in a hand
rubbed finish, ref1nishers are
Icounseled to rub until the wood
lis warm" really "fattening" ii
by filling in the little crevices
lin the grain and making the
wood glow.
Although the labor involved is
strenuous. the proper care and
feeding of antique furniture is
accomplished only with affection,
Mrs. Bodine reminded. I'VE
want q piece to look loved and
worn and aged" she added.
Many age marks deliberately are
not removed in refinishing. as a
matter of fact. so the pieces will
not look new and shiny.
Mrs. Bodine has furnished he1
attractive apartment in Colonial
Village with several old pieces she
had ref1nished, including a pine
chest which was painted black
when she acquired it, a walnut
chest of drawers. a secretary and
a sideboard. She is particularly
fond of her light walnut pieces
from the Shenandoah Valley.
While living there in Harrison
burg, Va. Mrs. Bodine bought one
fine antique at time, many al
auctions. promising herself, "wher
the children grow up. Ill do these
over" But somehow, after the
children were grown their wed.
dings took up a lot of time, ano
after that, there was volunteer
work to be done in World War II
| Postwar prices finally sent hel
about refinishing in earnest. She
read long and hard about the
work, and attended lectures at the
Corcoran School of Art and the
Alexandria YWCA. She taught
in the Alexandria Y, then came
to her present assignment, where
she has taught for three years
She conducts two classes, one II
refinishing. another in decorating
at the Arlington center.
Mrs. Bodine lectures briefly al
the two-hour refinishing session
but has found her students art
interested first and foremost il
getting down to work. Some O
the pieces they have brought t.
class 60 back generations.
Wearing rubber gloves to pro
tect their hands, and, occasionally
their hats to protect their hal
from dust, the women work il

|the work. She has refinished a
set of six dining room chairs and
an old. spoiled pine bed which
demanded as much perseverance
as skill, and is now working on
an old night stand.
Another enthusiastic class mem
ber. Mrs. Guy johnson, did q Job
on an old rocker she bought at a
country auction, was dissatisfied,
and is doing the entire piece again.
II love the work." she declared.
II like to take the old finish of
a piece of wood and find out
what's underneath" Mrs. johnson
also is adept at Gaming.
Mrs. Bodine believes Mrs. Nolan
Arritt's kitchen chair pictured
was made around 1740. Several
woods were sometimes used in
these old chairs, which are COL
lector's items today. After the
tourniquet has done its job on
the glued seat, braces will be put
under it to insure its staying put.
Mrs. E. M. Arthur plans to re-
finish an old Sheraton country
chair. She will tape over its gold
design to preserve the time-worn
appearance, refinishing around it.
Mrs. Bodine keeps record of
the pieces students are working
on. together with her recommen-
dations for treatment. Each wood
is handled differently. Pine, for
example, is very particular about
what we do with it," she pointed
out.
II like to see the women bring
in small pieces they can do beau
tifully." sofu-spoken Mrs. Bodine
commented. AS a matter of fact,
space prohibits working on very
large ones. Sometimes class men,
bers work on drawers and doors
from large pieces at class, then
finish the job at home.
Although antiques are the Or
der of the day for the most part,
some students refinish good new
furniture. Conscientious home
makers have become interested in
the course through a desire to re-
pair damage done to table tops by
careless guests. Modern pieces
are harder to refinish than old
ones, though" Mrs. Bodine ex-
planned. Generally speaking, they
are not as well made as the pieces
of the past.
Carefully finished furniture de-
serves care afterward. Mrs. Bo-
dine suggests these methods:

I found this information about
Its history years ago. It was writer
by George Matheson Q842-1906)
who from his earliest years suf
fered from imperfect vision, ane
by the time he was 18 years ole
was practically blind.
Despite his affliction his record
at Glasgow University was one
OF the most brilliant of any o1
her graduates. His sisters were
so devoted to him they learned
Latin, Greek and Hebrew so that
they might help him in his studies
He was one of the greatest preach
ers OF his era. He shepherded a
flock of 1000 at st. Bernard's of
Edinburgh for 13 years. He wrote
very few hymns and the most
outstanding was 20 Love That
Will Not Let Me Co." 1t is al
most unsurpassed for its beauty
and mystical suggestiveness. What
a glorious picture of God it por-
trays. He is "the love that clings,
the light that follows. the Joy
that sings despite the rain" and
best of all. "the life that blossoms
by shedding itself"
His blindness was undoubtedly
terrible tragedy, but it drew
him closer to his God and deep
ened his spiritual life.

Concerning the letter from Mrs,

say that although I have no in
tention of moving, I think they
have a definite place here. Nc
doubt the folks inquiring have ex-
plored the many other sources OF
information, but surely a strictly
personal opinion is useful.
I think it only natural that
homemakers' interests extend be-
yond the home. The nature of the
questions will vary as well, and a
good portion of the information
will not apply to all of us. Actual
