Do any clothing or textile

Mrs. c. F. c., Washington:
I keep newspaper and maga-
zine clippings under subject
headings in manila folders. I
fasten the clippings with
scotch tape to heavy bond
paper-and lay them loosely
in the folders so new ones
can easily be inserted. I file
them in q filing cabinet. This
method has proved very salts

MORE ABOUT MAINE.

- "a AVA . w NOILSCSLOh(
Mrs. G. r. M. asked about
vacationing in Maine. I could
write reams on this subject
as it is my favorite vacation
spot and I know it from end
to end.
Sebago Lake is probably a
better place for children 6 and
10 years old. The water is
warmer. there are some nice
sand beaches and because
many residents of Portland
have their summer places
there there will be more chill
dren for them to play with.
There is reasonably good fish,
ing in Sebago for salmon, al
though in July, one must troll
deep down. It is a safe lake
for boating since. except in
bad weather, there are always
many boats of various kinds on
the lake within hailing dis
tance.
The Moosehead lake region
is my favorite because fresh
water fishing is my hobby.
This is a very large and deep
lake. The water is colder than
Sebago and there are very few
sand beaches, although there
Is one small lake five or six
miles from Greenville which
does have a good beach. This
region is a jumping-off place
for real wild country, and most
people who go there go for
fishing. There are many small
lakes and streams within easy
driving distance for fishing of
all kinds. as we'll as fishing in
MooSehead itself. Moosehead
can be a very dangerous lake
unless you are an experienced
boatman. The days are warm
but the early morning and
night will likely be colder than
Sebago. The air is very in
vigorating and the scenery is
magnificent.

LIFE PRESERVERS?
SWIMMING POOL?

tMIS' W. =. D., GUEtSSUHLC/
During one of our big SHOWS
last ~inter, I read about a
newly manufactured bathing
suit for children with built-in
life preservers. At the time, I
wasn't much interested in
swimming paraphenalia but
now I'm wondering if any one
has tried these suits on their
children. Are they available
locally? We have used the ka-
pok filled Mae West life pre-
servers. but find that while
they keep very small children
afloat in the deep, it is usually
face downward. They are top
heavy and a 25-pound young
Ster just doesn't have enough
weight below the water line to
keep from bobbing over on his
face. I mention this in case
any of you boating minded
families are relying on the
Mae Vests to keep your wee
ones from drowning. Perhaps
the new bathing suits not only
keep them af1oat but face up.
Does anyone know?
Also, along the swimming
line. has anyone built any
swimming pools lately? I mean
the do-it-yourself kind, not
the several thousand dollar
custom-built variety. I vaguely
recall reading about someone
building one with a roofing
paper lining-I believe it was
written up in a home maga-
zine. Does anyone have that
article? Has anyone tried the
large plastic ones?
We have quite a few covered
dish" affairs in this area, and
being the worlds poorest cook,
I can never make anything
good enough to expect anyone
outside my family to eat it.
Does anyone have any fool
proof recipes for something I
could take to a church sup
per -some thing easy and
tasty?
I certainly do enjoy reading
about the various cities and
countries you folks write about
in replies to inquiries. Has
anyone ever been to Salonika,
Greece? 1 would be interested
in any information about it.
QUERIES?
MRS. M.H.M., w. HyattSUille)
I have been thinking about
buying a new living room suite
in the blond wood finish.
Would some of you tell me your
experience with all the differ
ent types of blond woods? AS
to cost, wear and tear on them,
and how they stand up under
children? Also, as I have sew
eral pieces in the blond woods,
I know some mark more easily
than others, but I don't know
what the names of the better
woods are, so I would appre-
cate information on this.
would also like information
concerning medium priced
rugs. How do the wood and
rayon textures rugs wear? How
do the nylon blends wear? The
statesmen only confuse me. as
most of their products are sup
posed to be just what I'm look
ing for.
Could someone please tell me
how to remove a grass stain
from a child's washable cotton
dress? I have already tried the
soap suds idea on it and it took
some of the coloring from the
dress where I must have rubbed
too hard on the stain. Then I
tried washing it in lukewarm
water, but the stain is still
there. 1t is a new dress and
I hate to give up so quickly.

CHIMNEY LAMPS?

MRS. J. o. P, Sterling, VdJ
I seem to have had bad luck
In breaking the chimneys on
my milk glass hurricane
lamps. 1 am wondering if any
one can tell me where 1 can
find just the chimneys. The
base of the chimney must be
about two and a half inches
in diameter and about 10
inches tall. The diameter of
the chimney at the top is a
trif1e over 2 inches. I have
lamps with an ivy design and
one with pink roses which
need chimneyS. l would be
most happy to know where I
could find chimneys of either
design or just plain milk glass
which could decorate myself.

DYE FOR FIBER RUG,

CMrS. G. G. K, WaShinqtonD
In response to the lady who
wanted to know if there was a
fiber rug dye she could use
herself, I offer this informa-
ton, found in a home maga-
zine. There is a product avail
able from the Chair-Loc Co.,
Department H. B. H., Lake
hurst, N. j., which should fill
the bill, although I have not
used it myself. 1t is a dye and
Is available in the colorS. for
est and medium green, rust,
maroon, medium soft gray,
medium blue, warm dark
brown and cocoa. hope this
Is what she wants.
Would some of the readers
give me some information on
living conditions in Manila, in
the, Philippines? My husband
is considering a position there
which would keep us there at
least two years. Please let me
know about the climate,
schools, housing, etc. We have
our own furniture Except
stove and refrigerator which
would be shipped. Do the
rented houses and apartments
furnish stove and refrigerator,
or would it be best to buy
them here? Should we get the
new automobile we planned on
here or over there? We would
have commissary privileges so
our food bill would not be too
high. I certainly would ap-
preciate any information the
readers can give me.

Hammarskjold
Bids for Talks ON
Captive US. Filters

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R-
U.N. Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold was reliably reported
Saturday to have made a bid to
Red China for direct talks on the
n American f1iers held spies.
A diplomatic source said the Sec
rotary general had sent commu-
nique to Peiping asking whether
the Chinese Communists would
be willing to discuss the case. He
was understood to have indicated
he would make himself available
for such talks if Peiping would
talk. This, it was understood,
included the possibility of trip
to Peiping, if necessary.
Hammarskjold had told associ-
ates he regarded the case of the
filters as the greatest challenge
that the office of secretary general
had ever faced.

Supercarrier Forrestal Christened;
Navy Officials Provide Answer to
Critics of Carriers Usefulness


The Navy christened its mightiest
ship Saturday, the supercarrier
Forrestal-an ocean-roving air
drome for atomic warplanes.
The carrier, dwarfing all other
combatant ships afloat, was off
cially Launched" and given her
name in a ceremony at which Of
ficials emphasized the power that
giant ships, jet engines and nu-
clear weapons have given the sea
service
Actually it was not launching
since Workmen had let water into
the huge dock Friday, and the
ship was already afloat.
The vessel was christened by
Mrs. James V. Forrestal, widow
of the former Navy secretary and
the nations first secretary of de-
Tense.
Adm. Robert B. Carney, chief
of naval operations, said because
of its mobility and fighting might
the Forrestal will be able to
bring air power to parts of the
world where no comparable
friendly force can be found or
maintained"
Secretary of the Navy Charles
S. Thomas said the carriers mis-
sions include massive retalia-
ton" and he added that "for the
foreseeable future nothing is in
prospect which will diminish" the
need for controlling the sea and
the air above it.
Taken together, these seemed
to be in answer to some recent
and past comments about naval
air power and carriers. The navy
was still smoldering over the pre-
diction of British Field Marshal
Montgomery that the day of air
craft carriers is drawing toward
an end. Opponents of land based
air power have called carriers
sitting ducks" easily found and
sunk.
Voicing the opposing argument,
Thomas said the Forrestal will be
"a phantom target for any enc
my" If attack comes, not all con-
tinental airfields will be immune
nor all foreign bases available, he
said.
The Forrestal is a 1,036-foot
ship and has a speed up to 40
miles an hour.

Willie Mays
Return Could
Mean Pennant
For Giants

New York, April % - Center
fielder Willie Mays, back with the
New York Giants this season after
two years in the U. S. Army, may
revive baseball's Little Miracle"
by leading the Durochermen to the
1854 championship, declares an
article in the current issue of SEE
Magazine, just released.
Leo Durocher, Manager of the
New York Giants, readily admits
all his pennant hopes for this sea-
son are centered on this brilliant
young Negro baseball star, &C
cording to the article. "Willie's the
kind of guy who makes managers
and miracles" says Durocher, as
quoted in the SEE Magazine
article. "He did it once. Maybe
he'll do it again"
The Giants front office has ire
mendous confidence in Willie Mays,
the article reports. Club Feeney,
Vice-President of the club, predicts
Willie will amass lifetime batting
average that should place him
among the top ten hitters in base
ball history.
Willie Mays baseball talents
have always inspired confidence in
men who know the game, the
article states. The veteran baseball
manager, Tommy Heath, according
to SEE Magazine, insists that Will
lie could have been the first man
in baseball history to hit over 500
over a season in any league. Play
ing for Minneapolis in 81, the arti-
Gle notes, Willie hit ATT in thirty
five games.
Willie Mays has a warm and
friendly manner that puts every
one at ease, the article says. Not
only did he contribute to the
