Coffee Stains

Mrs. M. L. W., SLIDER Spring
To Mrs. E. S. X, Washington
To remove coffee stains
from a Slick coffee maker,
rub lemon juice on the
stained parts. Shake salt
freely over the strains that
have been well moistened
with lemon juice.
Let stand about 10 minutes.
Then rub the lemon on the
gritty salt and lemon solu-
ton for another few minutes.
Rinse. If stains are of long
standing, it may require
several such applications.
This method is all I ever
use to clean copper ware and
I prefer it to any Of the cop
per cleaners on the market.
You need not cut a fresh
lemon each time. Save pieces
of lemon which have been
used for tea, baking etc. !

Except for one trip, I have
always travelled on American

French ship because 1t was
when the Suez Canal was
closed and no American ships
were going around Africa to
Europe and wanted to go to
Europe. Having no language

Dutch and Norwegian vessels
are very fine, even better
than some cruise ships. Most
of those people speak Eng
lish. You have to be fairly
self-sufficient on any cruise
and the small number of pas
sengers requires that you
entertain yourself at least
part of the time. There is
no hostess or planned recre-
alton.
If you are going abroad,
the first thing to do is to
get your passport, then your
shots. If you were going only
to the West Coast via Pana-

the particulars at no cost.

The supervisors made public
a confidential report by their
now-inoperative board Of in
quiry that charged the hospital
architect, William Francis
Schorn, knows the source Of
trouble was within the area of
his architectural responsibility. "
Board Chairman Stuart De
Bell said the supervisors would
meet within a week with the
hospital commission and with
Commemorative Attorney Rob-
ert c. Fitzgerald to discuss
the situation.
Mr.. De Bell said the super
viSors would issue a statement

The board ended its inveSti-
cation last night with testi-
mony from Hospital Commits

the hospital job.
Mr.. wilkins had testified
previously in September. Other

gust, Mr.. Schorn and represent

said: I'm all innocence, we
might be creating a political
issue out Of the date"
Leigh Changes Mind
Mr.. Leigh previously had ia
vored holding a special election
in December for the referen-
dunn because he said he did not
want the bond issue to become
involved in politics. The gen.
eral election also will be No
vember 8.
Opposition to the December
date came from the Fairfax
County Taxpayers Alliance,
which noted that a special elec-
ton would cost $4,000.
Scott Seegars Of Langley,
speaking for the alliance, said
any election scheduled after
November would be ian anti
climax"
The Fairfax County Civic
Federation supported the De-
cember date, saying that No
vember 3 was too soon to
permit a public information
program by the county together
with full public debate"
Wheeler's Stand
Joseph Wheeler, federation
president, said the election for
State and local Offices could
transform :. (the voter's)
lack of information into a neg
alive vote" on the bond issue.
Other speakers including VIII
liam j. Mileham, Republican
candidate for the House Of
Delegates, said a special cleo
ton December 8 would be "a
great waste Of money"
The bonds would be payable
over a 20-year period. Pay
ment on principal and inter-
est in the first five years would
mean a rise in property, tax
of about 10la cents. This rate
would gradually go down after
that.
The bond issue calls for:
Falkland acquisition, $4.8
million.
