FARM VACATIONS?
lR. w. T.. W1ShinntOfl


Last spring I saw a letter
in RICH giving an address in
New York where you could OBJ
tain information on farm va
cations. ct was 500 Fifth ave-
nue.. New York SO, N. " We
sent for the booklet and spent
a week end in the fall at a
farm in West Virginia. I would
love to hear from any one else
who tried any of the farms
listed. We enjoyed our expe-
rience very much and would
like to exchange information.
Did any one try any in the
PoconoS? We are especially
interested in the closer ones
in Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and Southern Penn
sylvania.
CLEANING MAHOGANY.
MRS. H. D. L., Bethesda
I tried the characteristics
and-oil treatment for the re-
moval Of white marks on the
top Of a mahogany radio
photograph, and had no sue
cess. So I decided to try steel
wool and floor wax and it
worked. 1 rubbed quite hard,
both with and against the
grain of the wood. l used the
wax put out by the firm that
recommends this treatment for
cars, although other paste
wakes might work as we'll.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES


To the lady who asked about
care of asphalt tile floors, I've
had the same trouble with
dirty wax accommodating around
the edges Of the room after
using self-polishing wax. The
best answer I've found is a
product sold in hardware and
department stores that is both
a wax and cleaner. A seven
letter word. rhyming with
clean-wet. My husband spent
one evening Of very hard work
with this product and steel
wool and removed all the old
wax and got a very nice finish.
You Scour with steel wool and
the cleaner, wipe with a cloth.
then polish when dry. But this
is a terrific amount of work and
I found it easier thereafter to
get the dirt up with a sponge
and detergent (although you're
not supposed to use detergent
on these floors) and then use
this product as a wax. If I
use the self-polishing wax,
get the same dirty wax de-
posits as before.
About cleaning skillets. / be-
lieve it is use of securing pow
ders that makes foods stick. I
clean mine in the detergent
diShwater and scour with cop
per wool and nothing sticks,
unless I've cooked sausage the
day before.
AS for refinishing furniture,
you just buy a large can Of
paint remover (liquid for thin
coats of shellac, ETC.; semi
paste for several coats Of old
paint. round up whatever
scraping tools you can find
(hook scaper. putty knife. old
spoon for curves, razor In
holder) and o bushel basket
full of steel wool and old rags,
and spread a lot of newspa-
pers in a well-ventilated place,
protected from kids and dogs,
then drag your piece of fur
niture there. Put on some
gloves and with a paint brush
flow on the remover. always in
the same direction, and let it
soak for a few minutes to a
half hour. depending on the
directions. Start Scraping with
a wide. fiat tool. Often you
are down to clean wood with
each stroke. so try not to
smear the softened paint on
these clean spots. When a
whole surface is done this
way. take small areas of
inches square or less, one at
time. Flow on the liquid re-
mover, rub with a clean piece
Of steel wool with the grain
of the wood. then quickly dry
with a rag. Repeat until sur
face Is as clean as you want.
If the wood has a penetrating
stain you may have to sand it
or use a bleach. or both. The
only finish we have used is
boiled linseed oil. to darken
the wood and give it luster,
and then paste wax. Maybe
some one else could tell you
about the varnishes. etc. I
have seen beautiful results
with Lacquer. but know moth
