Ranges, Fine China
Require Careful
Washing, Rinsing

Wash, rinse and dry kitchen
ranges with as much care as you
would give fine china, extension
specialist urges Ohio homemak-
ers.
Mabel Spray, home management
specialist at Ohio State Univer
sity, says ranges may be kept
bright and sparkling with daily
care. They should be washed ev-
cry time they are used = after
they cool If washed when hot,
porcelain may crack.
Baking soda on a damp cloth
will clean stubborn spots. Abras-
ives, such as steel wool, however,
are too harsh to be Used on por-
celain
Top panels of most new ranges
are acid-resistant not acid
proof. Acids from such foods as
vinegar, tomato juice and fruit
juices will remove the glaze and
leave a dull spot if they remain on
a stove very long. Even milk con-
tains Tactic acid. Acids may be
wiped up with a dry cloth if the
range is hot and washed off when
It has cooled
Spill-overs may be avoided if
utensils are large enough and if
low heat is used for cooking. Plac-
ing wet dishes, bottles or glasses
on porcelain surfaces also should
be avoided.
Baking soda or mild cleanser
will remove grease spots from
dark porcelain walls of ovens and
oven racks. Cooling the oven be-
fore cleaning will ease removal of
spill-overs. Spillage will be dry
and easily removed with cleanser
or fine steel wool.

National Grange Questions
Severe Railroad Regulation

have a vital role in our national
economy"
He noted that when the Grange
first proposed regulation of the
railroads in 1887 they had a vir-
tual monopoly. Since that time"
he continued, conditions have
changed" and the railroads are
competing with trucks, buses, air.
lines, pipelines and even private
automobiles.
1T seems clearly apparent" the
letter declared, that our total
transportation policy must be
modernized. 1t may be that the
declaration of policy in the Trans
portation Act of 1910 coupled with
the subject matter of the Brook
ings Institution study entitled "a
National Transportation Policy"
and the information brought out
in the hearings held by the Senate
Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce can provide the
basis of the modernized policy"
Departure of Federal regulatory
bodies from the declared policy of
the 1910 Transportation Act
which called for fair and impartial
regulation of all forms of trans
portation - came in for severe
criticism in both the Brookings
Institution study and the progress
report of the Senate group.
''The basic weakness of Fed
eral policy" the Brookings study
pointed out, "lies in its failure to
build up the best possible trans
portation system partly be-
cause of its lack of concern for
the development of the railroad
system, it has not notably abetted
national security"
The interim report of the SEN
ate group studying transportation
policy-issued by Senators John
w. Bricker, R., Ohio, and Herbert
r. O'Coner, D., Maryland-upheld
the railroads contention that they
are not getting "fair and impartial
regulation" and warned that "fur-
ther deterioration in the railroads
financial condition would make
their naturalization almost in
evitable."
The railroads, alone of all forms
of transportation, are not subsi-
died by the government, it wa.
emphasized.
