The
Rambler
Do-It-Yourself
Conventions
BY JACK JONAS

Everybody can't go to the
conventions.
That's why 1t might pay to
offer, for this week and next,
a little advice.
Tippy-toe quietly around
the house. Don't rattle the
after-dinner dishes too
loudly, and for Pete's sake,
don't expect any help in the
kitchen.
Don't jar the living room
floor. The delegate from Ohio
isn't coming in too clearly
anyway, and you might put
him out of focus altogether.
If the rush hour in the eve
ming seems a little more
frenzied than usual, mark it
down to the political expert,
in a hurry to get home, gulp
down his dinner and fiddle
with the television dials.
For several days now, the
televiSion rental and repair
business has been booming.
The do-it-yourself politician
has marshaled his wits for
tearing down the convention
speeches, and there's no get
ting him away from the 81
inch screen.
For the first time in years,
he seems interested in the
way the living room furniture
is arranged. The easy chair
must be here, near the book
case and handy to the refer
ence books, and at the same
time at the proper angle and
distance with relation to the
television set.

THERE is A PATH cleared

THERE is A PATH cleared
from the easy chair to the
refrigerator, with no obstacles
to interrupt easy passage
during the commercials.
Explanations have long
since been made on why it is
impossible to tune in pro-
grams of long standing, and
the youngsters have been
admonished to take their
weeping and wailing else
where. There must be no
distraction.
These are the days of the
glazed and Redeemed eyeballs,
the quick temper, and the
keynote speech at the dinner
table. The TV ratings of
even the Mats and the Red
skins suffer.
One fellow we know-a true
fan of both teamS-is taking
his vacation this week and
next. But if you think he's
travelling the circuit with the
Mats, or heading out west
for the Rams-RedSkinS game,
you're crazy. He's staying
right home in Bethesda.
watching the conventions"
he explains.
He has a well-thumbed
TeleVue beside him, with the,
times and channels circled,
and woe to the one who inter-
rupts the time schedule.
There are certain tech
niques which can be developed
for full enjoyment of these
proceedings. For example,

ing of certain phrases which
are coming from the set.
Here are a few:

Since so per cent of all cooking
is done on the top of the stove, the
recent introduction of automatic
top-burner temperature regulation
is the biggest news in gas range de-
sign since the invention of oven heat
controls.
Using the new-type gas range, a
housewife now can preset the ex-
act temperature needed for the most
delicate cooking operation and be
absolutely sure the food won't be
overlooked, undercooked or
burned.
The very instant the heat under
the cooking utensil begins to exceed
the dialed temperature, the gas
flame automatically diminishes to
maintain an even heat. If draft OF
air passes the sensing element in
the center of the burner, or the lift
ing of lid releases heat from the
utensil, or something cold is added
to the food cooking in the pan, the
flames intensity automatically in
creases.
Effectiveness of the new gas
range feature, demonstrated above,
shows that single drop of water
is. enough to activate the automatic
"feeler" and bring the flame up to
a leveling temperature.
