trTUW y. L., 1IsOCf UUsO/
In answer to Mrs. j. c. S., Alex.
andria, may I offer the following
method of cleaning an oven.
had a stove which was completely
blackened and rusted inside.
placed a small open dish of full
strength ammonia in both the
oven and broiler, closed the doors
and left it overnight. In the
morning removed the dishes and
washed out the oven with cloth
and plain suds and water. All the
grease stains, etc. wash of in
stantly.
Perhaps some one can help me
with a problem or two. Some
time ago in RICH some one men
toned a paint which looked like
lined oak or similar light wood
Can some one tell me where ]
could obtain such paint?
Also, what can be done to
eliminate spiders? These un-
welcome visitors are short legged
and black and thick. I've tried
air and sunlight. but still I see
few.
What can be done to remove
rust stains that have accumulated
in the chamber bowl below the
water line?

RUM CAKE.


(From Mrs. r. B., Falls Church,
Quite some time ago some one
asked for a recipe for rum cake

died cherries (cut in pieces, 2
teaspoons nutmeg and 2 tea
spoons baking powder.

might in whisky or rum. Cream
sugar and butter until fluffy, add
|egg yolks and beat well. Add
soaked fruit; add flour, nutmeg
and baking powder. Fold in bea-
ten egg whites and add nuts last.
Bake in creased tube pan. lined

my family and that makes a nice
size cake.)

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

The provision in the 1851
Amendments to the social Secur-
ity law permitting benefieiaries
to earn up to SIS a month while
still accepting their benefit pay
ment checks is frequently a vital
factor in a beneficiary's plans to
keep the family unit together,
This was true in the case of a Co.
year-old widow who called at the
field office to discuss her benefit
rights under social security. She
is the wage Garner, as well as the
home-oWner, in a household that
includes her mother and an aunt.
Both are over 80 years old.
Recently the mother and aunt
have required considerable care,
and it seems very likely that this
care will be greater in the months
ahead. Moreover, the wage earn
er's own health is falling, and she
can no longer work full time in
the grocery store where she is
employed.
Our office computed her social
security retirement benefit al
$42.60 a month. In addition, she
has a pension of SOS a month as a
widow of a Spanish War Veteran.
1t was explained to her that she
can go on part-time work with
earnings up to $75 a month and
still accept her old-age benefit
payments.
She added up the figures on her
little memorandum pad as the in
terviewer talked. Lets see "
she said, half to herself, "that
makes $l07.60." Looking up, she
said: II think we three can get
along, and if we get pinched once
in a while, l can earn as much as
SIS. That's fine"

AND THE SUN
CAME OUT FOR
HARRY

NEW YORK - (CNS) - It
started out a dreary day-slow,
drizzling rain with a definite chill
in the air. Folks were saying:
"Harry's got bad day to speak
ing out in the open Too bad
when we've been having such
good weather"
For the weather forecast for
October II was cloudy with oc-
casional showers" and that Ger
tainly would dampen any crowd
out to see the President of the
United States, Harry Truman,
speak in his unprecedented FASH
ion at the Dorrance Brooks
Square in Harlem.
But even the weather experts
were wrong in predicting bad
day for Harry. Two hours before
rally time. the rain slowed down.
An hour before rally time, the
rain desisted altogether. The
skies were still overcast but
streets were dry and would not
stop the crowds from coming out.
Through the initial speeches
Mayor Vincent Impelliteri, Sem
ator Lehman and the choral en-
semble's offering - the sun start
ed to play hide and seek with the
clouds. So that by the time the
President of the United States
was introduced to the throng, 1t
didn't seem such a downcast day
after all.
Then as Truman bursted out
into the things he had accomplish
ed in the last four years such
things as eradication of segrega-
ton in the armed forces, no jim
crow in employment in the fed
eral government, over 1000 Ne

formerly barred them completely

GIVE DORSEY
DCTers CHANCE
OF LIFE TIME

The lack of experience will
never stall the DCTers at Dorsey
High School in their quest for
employment after completing
high school for they will be ex-
perienced. The cooperating mer-
chants of Greater Miami are see
ing to it that these young people
will get the right start in life. The
experience they get will be of
great value to them whether they
terminate their education at the
high school level or go to college.
The on-the-job training progr am
familiarly known as Dot Diver
sified Cooperative Training) has
gained wide acclaim throughout
the State.
The following merchants are
among those cooperating: Nehi
Bottling Co., Reid's Mems Shop,

Tropicalos Novelty Co., Francis
Funeral Home, M. and M. Cafe

It will pay other businessmen
of the city to investigate the pos
sibilitieS of part-time training for
their business. The students are
out of school at 1890 and are free
to 60 to their training jobs and are
still under the supervision of the

Dodgers Salary
7 ak Starts
BLACK, sNIDER, REESE TO
GET BIGGEST RAISES

NEW YORK - (CNS) -
There's lot of Supposition going
around as to who is going to get
what dough for the next year as
Dodger player. Management ex-
poets an increased payroll in view
of the fact the Brooks did cop the
National League flag. But that
they didn't get the Worlds
Championship will also cause
many a Dodger to get only slight
raise instead of a whopping one
which would have come with
taking all the marbles.
Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider
and Billy Cox, who distinguished
themselves so well in the Series,
are in the best bargaining posi-
ton for boosts. But biggest indi-
vidual raise will come to Joe
Black who now gets $4,000 and
will probobly come out with $13,-
900 for the '53 season. Joe is al
ready reported to have gotten a
bonus of $4,000 for his spectacu-
lar so season for without Joe, the
Dodgers probablye never would
have gotten into the Series at all.
Highest paid member of the
team, Jackie Robinson, will prob
ably get the same $4,000 next
year with a slight bonus. Roy
Campanella, though the best
catcher in baseball, still disap-
pointed fans no end with his poor
clutch hitting in the Series. Thus
Roy may only get a token increase
from his present $4,000 to
$26, 900.
Pee Wee Reese, on the other
hand, can expect as much as a
$4,000 increase from his present
$35, 600. The little Colonel will
certainly be rewarded for his
splendid batting in the Series and
will press closer to Robinson for
equal salary.
And the real hitting star of the
Series - Duke Snider - can be
expected to get in the $4,000
class next season. Heretofore, the
Duke has only earned $4,000.
