BABY-PRoOF YOUR APART-

BABY-PROOF YOUR APART
MENT-A growing number Of
young apartment dwellers and
some oldsters. too. are discov-
ering that life can be more
carefree If their apartment is
baby y-proofed.
OF course, nothing will ever
replace q mothers watchful eye
to halt the use of the sofa as
a diving board. But there are
a few recent developments which
will give comfort to grandpar-
ents who expect frequent visits
from grandchildren as well as
to parents of the young chill
dren themselves.
For one thing, manufacturers
are now coming out with many
new pieces of furniture using
wrought iron or hardwoods and
plastic fabrics. These not only
flt attractively into a modern
decor, but are easy to clean with
a damp cloth and are resistant
to the wear and tear caused by
active youngsters.
Paint manufacturers, too, have
come up with a boon to parents
who buy unpainted chairs, desks,
chests and tables to fill many
needs while children are growing
UP. The paint makers have de-
veloped new paints which have
no more than / per cent lead
pigments. and are safe. to use
even on surfaces which a child
might lick or nibble.
One of the time-tested baby
prooflng tricks, of course. is to
cover all upholstered furniture
with washable cotton slip covers.
Many attractive patterns which
are slow to show soil are now
available, and what may be more
important, they don't have to
be ironed if they are placed on

10 extend from the front Of the
counter to the wall. Screw on
four wrought iron legs cut TO the
proper height. Then sand the
board carefully and paint with
q good white enamel. This prof.
|ect win take only q few hours
and cost well under SO.
II the available space is as
much as II inches wide, you
might do well to use metal Of
fee shelving which is liz inches
wide and comes in nearly any
length you want. When the tor
lis covered with wood or a COM
position material, ONCE shelv-
ing not only will provide the
extra counter surface you need
but also viii give you at least
two extra shelves for storing
food canisters or appliances.
STEP SAVERS AT MEAL
TIME-Selecting the right To-
cation for your dining table
sometimes can be difficult.
On one hand you want the
table close to the kitchen In
order TO save steps. On the other
hand you may want to- take

advantage Of the breezes and
the pleasant view offered BY o
window across the room from
the kitchen.
Fortunately this is q case
In which you can have your
cake and eat 1t. too. Steps
between kitchen and table can
be reduced by using a tea cart.
a roller table or a large tray.
You can place practically
everything you need on any one
of these devices and reduce your
kitchen-to-table movement to
one or two trips per meal. A
large tray, about is by 20 or
Is inches, Is especially useful
at breakfast when it can be left
in the center Of the table to
carry all your used breakfast
things - toaster, coffee pot,
dishes-back to the kitchen.
Because apartments these days
are designed for flexible fur
niture arrangements you may
even want to alternate the To-
cation Of your dining area-by
the window in summer and near
the warn kitchen in winter.

the furniture while they are still
slightly damp.
There are new Developments
in wall lamps. too. This is the
only really good defence against
children who like to tip over
table or floor lamps. Some Of
the new lamps, especially those
which can be raised or lowered
for reading or for general illu-
mination. must be attached to
the wall with special plaster
screws or bolts. Many. however,
are light enough to be attached
with glue-on hooks which do not
damage the plaster.
EXPANDING THE KITCHEN
My kitchen has all the mod
ern appliances, but there just
isn't enough counter surface.
When ! prepare dinner, it seems
that most Of the time is spent
in moving and stacking pots and
dishes just to clear enough space
to work. Is there anything I can
do about it?"
AS a result of the general
space squeeze in houses as well
as in apartments many kitchens
are skimpy on counter space
Nonetheless you can usually find
a space of 8 to IL inches which
can be converted into usuable
counter surface.
Look over your kitchen for
gaps between the range and sink
or between sink and refrigerator
Perhaps you can create a gap
by moving the refrigerator
There may be some open and
unused space next to the range
or the sink.
The easiest way to make this
space useful is to buy a one
inch thick board wide enough
to fill the gap and deep enough

Perhaps the Governor will read the local papers incud-
ing this one, perhaps he win disregard everything in print,
perhaps he may regard as important only that which comes
from Washington. But that would not be what wisdom
would dictate.
THESE FEW SIMPLE lines, along with other express
sions Of our people, if read and taken seriously, may prove
of great help to the new Governor. We hope he reads them.

A WORD TO THE GOVERNOR

ANEW GOVERNOR Of the Virgin Islands at this time
could only find himself in a most unenvable position. He
comes right on the heels of one Of the most unpopular Gov
errors ever to hold office. Dissatisfaction has been expressed
not only with some Of those appointed but with their methods
as well.
WILL Mr.. RDO continue IN office those whom
the people disIkedp Will he feel obligated to them in such
a manner that regardless of their lack of popularity they
must be kept in Officer What voice does the Republican
National Committee have as to detaiSP viii the new Cover
nor feel that he would be lost unless he kept some few whose
knowledge of the situation may be nyaluable2 VIII the new
Governor, like the old one, concern himself with the mis-
taken concept that discipline is necessary, or will he chart
his own courSeP
THESE R BUT a few of the questions which run
through the minds Of the people Of these Islands. Since we
have no say whatever in the selection Of a Governor, then
the questions seem all the more important and they come
in ever-increasing number.
NOTHING WHATEVER can be done but to wait and
see. AS an individual Mr.. Gordon will have his own views
and would want them put into effect in his own way.
o THE RECORD it should be said that the new
Governor could start off on the right foot, making a success
Of his administration. 1t is almost entirely within his grasp
and Of ho swn making. We are not a vicious people. Coopera-
ton may be had for the asking, even though not 100 percent
$500 FINAL WORD. In these parts, method is almost as
important as the program itself, and the Governor can hamp-
er his work by the application Of imprudent methods which
do not set well with our people. The chance is bis, and if
he. applies himself well, then he will find a kindly, friendly,
hospitable and cooperative people. There is no dark, or Sc
cret formula. If the new Governor accepts the people Of the
Virgin Islands as an enlightened, intelligent people, and APP
proaches them in that light, then his battle is half won.

To 9. O., Washington. who.
inquired about sitting brown
sugar. ! use q large a cups.
fine sieve and a wooden spoon
to stir the sugar through. I
find this just right for the
sitting.
I have lost the initials of
the lady who inquired about a
way to take soil from the
creases Of French cuffs and
collars on shirts. Before wash
ing the shirt, simply get a
bar of soap nice and wet and
rub it into all the solid creases
and spots. Also, paste may
be made Of your laundry soap
and water or bleach, depending
on the stain and fabric. You
may need to rub the fabric
together at first, but as this
weakens the material. I do not
do it. I find my white shirts
come completely clean if I
faithfully use this method.
AS RICH reaches so many
people. I would like to use its
services for an appeal. Many
of you have scraps Of mate
rial, almost empty spools OF
thread and multitudinous but
tons you would like to throw
away, but are saving for the
time you "just might need
them" A small package of
these would cost but a few
cents to send where they could
really be used. Our Govern
ment runs a boarding school
for underprivileged and or
phaned Indian children. Their
clothes are in deplorable con-
dition and I must say the au-
thorities do the very best they
can. The advisors in these
dormitories have used all their
resources in trying to mend the
clothing, but trying to mend
the clothing of 200 children
is a hopeless job without any
patches, thread or buttons. If
you would please send your
leftover scraps to Tongue
River Boarding School, Chey-
enne Indian Reservation, Bus
by, Mont, know they would
be very grateful.
