Thoughts
about
Things
BY Paula Tardy

Have you ever realized how
much fun a bonfire is? The
younger set" particularly
enjoys it : and no matter how
many ingenious favors you
provide them with, they will
continue to invent their own.
AS | watched them several
nights ago, the ten children,
ages ranging from Z to 10,
danced Indian War dances
around the fire to the steady
beating of one child's palms
on the bottom of the garbage
can, suiting their whoops and
cries to their actions.
Included in this ceremony
was the burning Of the party
.favors, short plastic pipes
with balloons on the end. The
pipes made enchanting sizz-
ling noises and the fiery
drops of melted plastic made
fascinating pictures on card
board squares.
They Fundamentally enjoy
ed this War Dance until one
little girls imagination pro-
vided a new game, which
kept the group spellbound,
sitting quietly on an old quilt
among the neighborhood dogs
bits of buns which these dogs
hadn't been coaxed to eat,
and little sticky patches that
were all the remains of mar
shmallows they had toasted
previously. This game occup-
led them until the party broke
up, and the fires blaze had
died down to SmOulderlng
embers, and the children left,
well covered with mosquito
bites, quite sticky with mar
shmallows and bubble gum,
and apparently as happy as
children can be.

and a swimming raft and a
boomerang and bar-bells. l
got a model car for a present

some gold fish and l got
some fish food. l named the

for my birthday. l went to
my grandmOtherS in Carroll
ton with my round bat and
my square bat. l almost hit
a ball over the fence. 1t made
a dent in the bat, and the
ball when it almost went over
the fence. 1t hit the fence and
bounced back. If it would
have gone over the fence it
would have hit a chicken in
the head.
At my birthday we cooked
marshmallows and wieners
over the fire. When we got
through the grown folks were
talking and we played In
dians. Someone would beat
the drum and other persons
would dance around the fire.
Tive got a brand new base

These are the remembered

brities can spend the holiday in
a manner much the same as or
dinary mortals. Capsule narri-

and distressing, marked by SEN
timental reunions and by loneh-

But for sheer excitement,
capped by near-tragedy, the
Christmas Day spent by Bob
Cummings shortly after his re-
lease from World War II was a
clih-hanger difficult to match.
In two successive air flights and
within a single hour, Cummings
and his wife Mary cheated
death by a whisker.
On their way to New York for
a family dinner, Bob's own
twin-engine UC-78 conked out in
a murky overcast near Pitts
burgh, forcing them to fly blind
for an hour before being guided
to a landing strip. Already long
overdue, and with commercial
flights Cancelled by the fog, Bob
spotted a small Piper Cub for
rent in a nearby hangar. Twen-
ty minutes later they were off
and skimming over the Alleghe-
MES. Then a good weather re-
port suddenly reversed itself
and the ceiling came down and

Freezer Living Is Leisure
LivinQ


The modern home is no
complete without a
freezer. 1t takes so much less
time to prepare fresh fruits
and vegetables for freezing
compared with canning. But a
food freezer is much more than
just a means 0f preserving
fresh foods. There are unlim1t-
ed possibilities for freezing
cooked foods, casserole dishes,
baked products, sandwiches
and stewing; in fact, almost
everything from soup to nuts.
Food freezers are available
in a variety of styles and sizes.
Upright freezers are becoming
increasingly popular but in
very large sizes, and where
space is not limited, a chest
type freezer is commonly selec-
ted.
This and That About Freezing
Keep an extra pound of but
ter or margarine in the freezer
to avoid running out. Fancy
cuts of butter, balls or pats,
may be stored for special oc-
caSions.
All packaging materials used
for freezing should be moisture
vapor proof. Regular butcher

result is the number of square

size, and flaws also influence
the amount needed.
Leather has a grain, just as
fabric does, and will bulge

bone of the skin should run
parallel with the center of the

Never use pins in suede.
FaSten the pattern with tape

Use a fairly long machine

cannot be removed, so stitch
carefully.
The leather shouldn't be pres

All suede garments require

best done by machine.
Selecting DraperY for the Home
What is the "life expectan-
cy" of curtains and draperies?
Research shows that lined
drapery fabrics are rated to
last five years. Unlined draper
les are expected to last -four
years, and sheer drapery and
curtains will last an average
of three years.
Curtains and draperies wear
differently than clothing. THEM
asting qualities depend OF
many factors. One of the mos.
prominent is the severe actor
of the sunlight which is cal
led ''sun rotting". This actor
varies with location of draper
les in the home-Some draper
les are constantly exposed Il
sunlight, while others are 10
Gated so that little direct con
tact is made with sunlight.
Fabrics vary, too, in degrees
of sensitivity. Silk, for in
stance, is the most sensitiv,
to the sun of all fiberS uSet
in this respect, while polyeste
fibers such as dacron are 0
the more hardy variety. Wit
heavy exposure to sunlight
experiments show that sill
will last about six months
while dacron will asst thre,
years Or more.
