During late summer and early
fall, fruit and berry stains, mud
spots, soft drink stains are COM
mon occurrences. They seem to
have positive affinity for table
linens, for juniors clothes, your
own play cottons and dresses.
However, it's also fact that most
common stains, discouraging. as
they may appear, can be re-
moved easily with chlorine bleach
especially with the new safe,
dry form of chlorine bleach.
Since it comes in granule form,
this new chlorine bleach is light
er to handle, easier to measure,
easier to use and takes less space
to store than the long familiar.

and that's a help, too, in remov-

In using the new chlorine
bleach for stains, simply do this:
ID Rinse stain in cold water
(2) Then dissolve 1/8 cup dry
bleach in a quart of warm
water. (The convenient
sprinkle-pour top on the
jar makes measuring easy.)
(3) Soak stain in bleach solu-

(4) Rinse well
If stain is extra stubborn, re-
peat the process. Stains on white
and fast-color cottons and linens
respond quickly to this treatment.
So do stains on white 1907

a colored fabric and you're not

Let's hope that the same leads
will be followed in the Village.
We just can't afford to have
any more half done, slip-shod,
amateur work done in the Viii
1age. The sooner most of us
realize this, the sooner we will
get the things we want.
Election is nearing and I'm
sure most of you have heard
what some of the parties and
candidates are promising as far
as streets are concerned. Most
of them have promised to effect,
pursue, and maintain a sensible,
workable street program. AS
yet, I have to hear or read
HOW they intend to do this.
Frankly, l won't believe any
thing anyone says until l see
it done. Talk is cheap.

not according to the contract
Right now, some of the streets
are almost as bad as the streets
in old Robbins. Since 1852, the
only maintenance the Village
has done for Lincoln streets is
scraping and dumping a few
stones just as in old Robbins.
1t seem to me that the realty
company should maintain the
streets until the contract runs
out. 1t therefore becomes the re-
sponsibility of the Road Com
missioner and or his bargaining
agent to contact the Realty
Company to see that necessary
repairs are made. This would
take a terrific burden off the tax
payers and also the Village gen.
era1 fund. It h O u d not be
necessary for the citizens to yell
and complain every time some
thing goes wrong. Some of the
officials should use some of the
initiative they promised the
voters in the last election.
Recently the leaders in the
Village annexed more property
and we are anXiously awaiting
to see what these new contrac-
tors will do toward finishing
what they have begun. Just west
of Crawford another sub-divi-
sion is coming along nicely,
with new brick facing homes,
sewers, and other utilities. I'm
wondering if the Village officials
responsible are going to- make
the contractor put in streets be-
fore the area becomes another
Lincoln. I guess when a contrac-
tor puts hard luck story ON us
we can hardly refuse him. If it
was left to me, I'd see that
every street, every house, every
telephone pole, and shrub was
in place before a single soul
moved in.

the groans and complaints of
the citizens can be heard for
for miles around. The officials
doing the best they can under ex-
listing conditions vote out few
hundred dollars to buy Stag, Gin
ders, and rocks to repair the
the worst streets. Then cars and
trucks push out the rocks and
the same hole appears, only this
time a little deeper and a little
muddier. When the ground is
dry enough, the Road Commits
sioner sends the grader around
and he scrapes off mud down
to more mud. Next Spring the
same routine is repeated and
the streets get worse. Let's face
it, folks, we need streets. but
badly.
Merely needing streets is not
going to- get them because this
Village lacks the money to have
the necessary work done. Not
only money, but credit and COLA
teral. Too, the money collected
from vehicle stickers is used
for maintaing roads, not con-
structing them. The tax money
received from the State is only
a drop in the bucket for the
needs in the Village. Therefore,
the only way we will get decent
streets is from real estate taxes,
a loan, or by bond issues. From
the bowls that 60 up when taxes
rise it is hardly conceivable that
Robbins residents will want an
extra burden, but that's what
it will take.
Some Village officials will say
that | am unfair in critlzlng
them for some of the existing
conditions, but this criticism
only tends to- show, hope, how
the same errors can be avoided
in the future. In 1914 and 1888
the Village annexed that portion
of Robbins known as Lincoln
Manor. They went into an agree
ment with. the real estate COM
nany in order to increase the
nropertv value of the Village
because, as one former Pres1-
dent told me, "We saw the need
of expanding and since the con-
tractor was going to put in sew
ers, water, streets, and other
facilities, we knew that this
would enhance the value OF
Robbins and make this a more
desirable place in which to live.
Most of you known what hap
pened after. Lincoln residents
sued the Village to break the
annexation on the basis that
intent to fraud was involved.

It featured a sample of the

by the hostess.

succession of Latin chiefs Of
mission entered newly painted
Blair House to greet the host
and his wife Betty, who was
wearing a delectable white Or
CANDY dress embroidered with
buttercups and green leaves.
One of the very first to walk
in were the Argentine Ambas-
sador and Sonora de Paz, the
latter in a gown that will make

wears it. Fresh from Spain.

formless tunic. It had a neck
line so wide the long sleeves

lace. It must be the first such
style glimpsed in Washington.

to him about the conference,

excitement caused by the
speculation on how much talk

could accrue. "My foreign
