PITTSBURGH.

MRS. R. H.. SilUer SpringJ
Mrs. e. o. B., Bethesda: !;
Good luck and happy house.
hunting, There are many nice
suburban areas around Pitts
burgh. South Hills (Mount
Lebanon, Dormont, Brentwood,
etc.,, are very nice and they
have good high schools. All
the Allegheny County schools
are good. Williamsburg and
East End are nice, but rather
dirty. Blackridge, out of Will
kinsburg on Route %, is ex-
ceptional: it's on top of a tre-
mendous hill and usually is
smog-free. North Hills, out
Route 10, is pleasant, too.
Southwest of Pittsburgh there
are several new but more coun-
trif1ed communities such as
Coraopolis Heights and the
outer CHARTERS area. Fox
Chapel is very exclusive and
'high-priced, but beautiful, and
GlenShaW and Allison Park
are building up rapidly with
medium-cost homes ($16,0OO-
$25,OOO).
In most sections the people
are friendly and helpful and
welcome newcomers. There
are many things to see and do;
a good symphony orchestra,
Carnegie Museum, the Plane
tarium, many churches, excel
lent department stores, five
good colleges and of special
interest in the summer, two
huge lovely county parks
where every recreational facil-
ity is available at minimum
cost-swimming. tennis, arch
cry, golf. riding, boating, or
just plain and fancy picnick-
ing.
Hope you'll be happy moving
to my city. and contact me
through RICH if you want any
other information.

REMOVING DECALs?
MRS. G., Indian Head
Many thanks for advice on
washing my orion wool skirt;
it turned out beautifully. Now,
another request: We rented
out our home while in service
and find the tenants have ap-
piled decals on kitchen walls
and white steel cabinets. How
can we remove them without
leaving marks, especially on
the steel cabinets? I know
this was in before. but had no
need to know it before. Here's
hoping for a speedy answer.

This is in answer to the re-
quest of Mrs. Nj W.. Washing

climate and type of clothing
needed in Yuba City, Calf.
where she plans to be in Sep

We have toured and visited
in the Central Valley of Cali

tions. She and her husband
can expect hot, sunny, dry
days and cool nights in the

prefer darker colors anywhere
at that time of year; but Mrs.
M. w. will be glad to have
lightweight clothing for day.

and perhaps a sweater, to put
on in the evenings. I know
Marysville, across the river,
better than Yuba City, but
anywhere in the valley they
should find people dressing
rather informally for street
wear. Her husband might be
glad to have some lightweight
sports clothes along.
If they plan to go on down
to San Francisco, they will
need wool suits, as people tend
to formal clothes there, New
York STYLE" and it should be
quite cool. Mrs. M. w. might
even want a topper over her
wool dress or suit in the eve
nings on the Coast.
1t is a wonderful country
they are going to, and I wish
them an enjoyable trip.

Cold tongue, or tongue in as
pic, makes fine warm weather
fare. A tablespoon of vinegar
added to the water in which a
tongue is boiled makes it easier
to peel the skin off, which should
always be done while the tongue
is hot.
OF course, there are wonder

One of the incest recipes in

water to cover, and a few

MUNICH?
LINOLEUM:
KHIEII

mrs. w. B. G., Washington T
would like you to know how
much I enjoy your column and
all of the many useful hints.
We are being transferred to
Munich, Germany, and won
dered if any one could tell us
the necessary things to take
along. What about electrical
appliances, such as washing
machine and vacuum? Do
they have the same current?
What about clothes for boys
and shoes? Can you buy these
there, or is it necessary to
take for the entire trip of 3
years? Also, women'S shoes,
suits, hats, and ordinary wear
ing apparel. Thank you very
much in advance as I may not
get a chance later. We ex-
pect to take off very shortly.
To the woman who asked
about yellow linoleum, I'd like
to tell her that we have had it
for 3 years and never have I
liked any so well. We have
boys, dogs. and a cat, and
only wash it about once a
month. I put heavy coat of
wax on and polish and then
wipe up with a damp cloth, if
anything is spilled in the
meantime.
In answer to the lady who
wanted the recipe for Khifli, a
Hungarian pastry: One-half
pound butter Give never used
anything else), y pound cream
cheese. 21a cups flour, salt to
taste.
Mix cheese and butter, work
In flour, form in ball and put
in icebox to harden. Roll, add
ing minimum of flour. Cut in
rectangles about 21a by 8
inchceS. Fill with apricot
paste. Fold long ends to mid
die, bake in oven $50 degrees,
powder with confectioner's
sugar, while still warm.
Paste: One pound dried
apricots soaked overnight in 2
cups water. Boil until soft,
puree and add 2 cups sugar.
Boil up, careful that it doesn't
stick, stir all the time. Cool
and spread.
I'm sorry I don't have the
filling with the nuts, but am
sure you will like this just as
well. They do not keep in this
climate, so I usually only bake
the amount I intend to use
and the rest will keep for a
couple of weeks in the icebox.

TRANSPORTING PARAKEET.

mrs. H. r. c.. Arlington)
AS a newcomer to the WASH
ington area I feel compelled
to send in a word of thanks
for your most interesting and
helpful column. I've gained
so much knowledge through
you and your readers that
really am very happy to have
the opportunity to assist Mrs.
M. M. T. of Arlington on her
problem of transporting her
parakeet by car. It can be done
and with very little trouble.
I would suggest, Mrs. M. M.
T., that you go to your pet
shop and try to purchase a
bird shipping cage. It is a
wooden box-like cage, closed
in on three sides with swing
ing doors that close in on the
fourth side during the actual
driving. It has air holes on
top. Food and gravel may be
kept in small jars. Rather
than carry a roll of paper
towels for the bottom of the
cage I borrowed paper nap
kins from various and sundry
restaurants along the route.
I feel sure that the trip will
not hurt your parakeet since
1t didn't bother mine at all
>. and of all the decrepit
birds, mine was it prior to the
trip. He really was sick be-
fore we started and I had lit
tie hope that he would make
it, but with the addition of
some parakeet blood tonic
added to his drinking water
and the rest he got in his
darkened cage during the trip
from California here . . the
change in him is remarkable.
Just one more thing in addi-
tion to all of this. When you
stop in the evening let your
parakeet out of his cage for
a while even if it means clip
ping his wings as a safeguard.
He'll enjoy the change and the
chance to be with his folks.

To the lady with the black
kitchen floor covering: Have
you thought of purchasing a
piece of plastic finished limo
leum or a congoleum rug to
cover the black? 1t is cheap
and will wear for years. The
plastic finish needs no wax

AnnubeIIe Petersen Awarded
Coveted Nightingale Medal
DO 1t Now Theory
Guided Rurut Nurse
To Executive Post

Miss Annabelle Petersen,
chosen today by the Interna-
tional Committee of the Red
Cross as winner of the Florence
Nightingale Medal, is to many
just a blurred figure in white
standing at a bedside.
To others, she's the one who
has wanted to get things done;
has played nurse to the nursing
profession for over 80 years.
Speaking of some of her prob
lens as an administrator, she
recently said:
when I saw something that
had to be done, tried to head
right for it and not lose time
and sight by going round Rob-
in Hoods barn.
Miss Petersen possibly picked
this idea up in the rugged coun-
try of her birthplace. She was
born, 65 years ago. in The Dalles,
Greg, the end of the Oregon
Trail.
Since then. Miss Petersen has
been coming East gradually
bringing with her a sincere and
simple devotion to nursing. She
hopes some of this devotion has
rubbed off on other nurses and
countless young women who were
introduced to the kind profess
sion through Miss Petersen.
Single Award to u. S.
The 23d winner of the Flor
ence Nightingale Medal is the
only American to receive the
honor this year. It is awarded
every two years by the Interna-
tional Committee of the Red
Cross to So nurses in the world.
Miss Petersen is a sturdy, seri-
GUS. pleasant person.
Her friends wonder why she
never seems to change. Often
they're irked because they can't
get her over the telephone. All
they do get is a "busy" signal
which is just what Miss Peter
sen is.
Although she retired after 80
years with the Red Cross last
July, Miss Petersen is serving on
or counseling various committees
on nursing, both locally and ma
tionally. Her post as treasurer
and chairman of the finance

The young nurse was in charge
Of a Red Cross program. the
first Of its kind, to bring nursing
to rural communities.
Red Cross officials spotted
something in the young nurse
who travelled in the model r and
brought her still farther East, to
an administrative job at Red
Cross headquarters. From 1924
to 1882, Miss Petersen was as
sistant to the director of Public
Health Nursing in the old Wash
ington division of the Red Cross.
For six years, she held a similar
position in the Eastern area Of
the Red Cross.
Then, in 1888. she was trans
ferred to national Red Cross
headquarters and made assistant
to the national director Of nurs-
ing service. She held this posi-
ton until her retirement.
Perhaps her biggest job was in
recruiting some 100000 nurses
for military duty in World
War II.

without which material help is
no USE"
Packages Helpful.
DR.. Fehr described the great
value of Red Cross packages sent
to the refugees who pour into
Berlin from the Russian sector.
"A child from East Germany
may know nothing about Amer
ica," he said. except that it
wants to conquer the world
When such a child is greeted by
a package from another child
in America, his ideas begin to
change.
"You don't know what so
simple thing as a toothbrush
can mean to a refugee. Some of
them never had one. And if they
did, they couldn't carry it across
the border-it would be a tip off
to the escape plans.
Part of the world is indoc-
trinating hatred and misunder-
standing by the use of words.
You are teaching our youngsters,
not by words. but by deeds, what
this world can be like.
Example to Millions.
"You have taught me what
democracy is and how it works.
Please go on in your work and
please don't forget that there
are millions looking at you from
other countries. You can give
them an example of how young
people can work in a free word
for a better future"
S. Stephen Lang, 18, of San
Antonio, Tex, also spoke at the
banquet. He called for an "at-.
moSphere of oneness" between
Junior and Senior Red Cross
members, so that they may con-
tlnue to go forward together.
In a speech prepared for a ses-
sion in the Mayf1ower Hotel this
afternoon, Norman A. Durfee,
national personnel director, de-
scribed his recent trip to observe
Red Cross in action in Japan and
Korea. He said he found the
workers there to be devoted,
consecrated, able and willing"
Your work and the effort of
others in chapters all over
America, in the areas and at
national headquarters make all
of this Red Cross service in Korea
possible" Mr.. Durfee said.
