How to keep well
Dear Helotse: Black walnuts, being in abundance this time of year, and not always having the time to crack and dig the meats from them when you want to bake that special walnut cake or other delicacy, here is a practical method of processing them to have them ready when needed, as my cousin Marceil Doll suggests. Althought the nuts that fall early are less likely to be as
good as those later, it is wise to check both. Shuck walnuts while green outside. Use rubber gloves to avoid staining hands. Wash them thoroughly using an ok) wash tub. (Now if you want nice tug fishing worms to go fishing, you win find plenty of them where you pour this water within 5 to 10 minutes. Although acting drugged, they will come out and make good bait) Dry the nuts outdoors and take them in when you think
WORRY CLINIC Dr Graham has preached for 56 rears, but still exudes more enthusiasm and stimulates a congregation better than 75% of vounger or even middle-aged pastors. Clerics, get hep! Imitate the lopnotch sermonirers! CASE B 684 Dr Ralph W. Graham is a retired clergyman He held large Indiana pastoiates in South Bend and Indianapolis, as .well as other
cities
Bui he chafed at mandatory retirement. And the little village ihurth near which we have our Indiana summer home on a farm, was without a preacher So Dr Graham was invited to fill the pulpit and I was present that first Sunday. Dr Graham." I said, as he ipeeted Mrs. Oane and me at the door following his splendid address, "if vou and Mrs Graham uen'i already spoken for. how about having dinner with us at the village restaurant 5 ” Luckily, we were the first to ask him. so we all enjoved visiting over our Sundav meal Later, Dr Graham was peisuaded to fill the pulpit for i he next 3 months till Conference It was quite a distinction for a small congregation aveiaging about 100 in attendance, to boast of such a talented clergyman as Dr Graham And he enjoved getting back into the harness, even though he had to drive 45 miles each way from hts home at Greencastle Although he had been preaching for 36 vears. he showed more vttalitv and platform enthusiasm than most clergvmen half his age In fact, he introduced a Sundav sermonette for the t hildren. to sen e as a prelude for lm adult address And he emploved stage materials. plus audience ; itii ipation gimmicks, to whet the interest of all age groups Dr Crane." I was asked bv n< of the local church officials, vvhat do vou think of having a rciind minister in our pulpit
6mt|* W. Grant, Pti.D, M.D. regularly?" This was before I had ever heard Dr Graham preach "Well," I answered. ‘.Td much rather hear an older man who is a pro’ than be put to sleep bv a younger pastor who wouldn't rate a ’C grade as a pulpit psychologist and orator." And I believe most of you main supporters of vour local churches feel as I do There is no excuse for the poor orators demonstrated bv at least 23% of clergvmen. plus the mediocre sermonuing by another 50% Dr Graham is a pro, as I assumed he must be even before I heard him, for big churches rarelv pick soporific clerics. But our seminaries are mvoptc regarding the main talent required of every dedicated pastor And that is ORATORY! "You must fill the pulpit before vou can fill the church." runs an old truism still pertinent todav. Alas, the seminars public speaking profs (Homiletics profs) either don't know the simple forensic formula for a professional orator. Or thev can't put it across to their voung semi nan students. You don't have to be a "born orator, for am person of normal I Q can soon rate at least a "B" and occasionally rise to an "A" if he will ignore his homiletics profs and merely studs Christ's narrative (parable) formula Toastmaster's Clubs and Dale Carnegie Courses would revive church attendance tf the present stodgv clerics would join such. Indeed, many pastors have become topnotchers merely by means of mv booklet "Public Platform Strategv," so send a long stamped, return envelope, plus 25c. and learn to speak like
a pro.

they’re ready. Keep trying them, by cradling In a vise, in order to get the meat when it has just started to dry and shrink away from the shell At the right time, they will come out in halves. If it’s too soon, setting them on a furnace or stove to dry a day or two will make them come out easy. Nuts may be kept in the freezer after dried and placed in airtight containers. Only a “nut” could care so much about nuts. But who can resist the unique flavor of that favorite walnut cake? The men may say, “Aw shucks," but see if they pass up the cake!

Dear Heloise: I had a lovely little cut glass vinegar cruet with a stain down at the bottom and I couldn’t remove it I put some water in the cruet, dropped one of the denture cleanser tablets into it and lo and behold it cleaned it beautifully. I thought this was too good a hint to keep to myself. How many times people have a beautiful cut glass vase which has been stained from flowers. This idea has endless possibilities. Mrs. G.P. Hogy
Dear Heloise: When I take deviled eggs to a covered dish dinner or picnic, I put each half in paper baking cups. This way they don’t slide around and get messy. Each person picks the cup out of the dish. I decorate each half with a sl’-er of pickle and pimiento. • * * H. McCary Dear Heloise: We recently moved into a new home and like most new homes, all the walls are white. Well, I found a great cover-up for all the nicks, scratches, and scuffs until painting time. Use white shoe polish. It’s great! Shirley McGee Dear Heloise: To get the sticky rug tape off the floor is easy but it always leaves some gummy stuff. To remove the gummy leavings, I have tried turpentine, spot remover and many other things without good results. I finally found out that just plain ammonia and water will do the trick. Just do it quickly, then wax again. Roberts.

Dear Abby New granny requests prayer for parents
DEAR ABBY: Please reprint "A PARENTS PRAYER I have just become a grandmother and want to give it to my daughter Thank you. NEW GRANNY DEAR GRANNY: With pleasure. It was written by Gary C. Myers, founder of Highlights for Children, a fine, wholesome and educational monthly magazine which 1 recommend highly. A PARENT S PRAYER 0 heavenly Father, make me a better parent. Teach me to understand my children, to listen patiently to what they have to say. and to answer all their questions kindly. Keep me from interrupting them or contradicting them. Make me as courteous to them as I would have them be to me. Forbid that I should ever laugh at their mistakes, or rekort to shame or ridicule when they displease me. May I never punish them for my own selfish satisfaction or to show my power. Let me not tempt my child to lie or steal. And guide me hour by hour that I may demonstrate by all I say and do that honesty produces happiness. Reduce. I pray, the meanness in me. And when I am out of sorts, help me, O Lord, to hold my tongue. May I ever be mindful that my children are children and I should not expect of them the judgment of adults. Let me not rob them of the opportunity to wait on themselves and to make decisions Bless me with the bigness to grant them all their reasonable requests, and the courage to deny them privileges I know will do them harm. Make me fair and just and kind. And fit me. O Lord, to be loved and respected and imitated by my children. Amen. DEAR ABBY You advised women who were flat-chested and wanted silicone implants to consult their family doctors about which plastic surgeon to go to. so that's what I did. Well. I thought my doctor was going to throw me out of his office! He said I w r as "crazy and vain" and the way he carried on was enough to send me away in tears. I can't tell you how hurt I was. It had taken me three years to get up the courage to ask him. 1 had talked it over with my husband, and he agreed that if I wanted to have silicone implants it was all right with him. Do you know of any reliable plastic surgeon in my area I could go to? If not. how can I find one? FLAT IN N.J. DEAR FLAT: Contact your County Medical Association, and ask for a list of their board accredited plastic surgeons. Everyone has a problem. What's yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700. L.A., Calif. 90069 Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. Hate to write letters? Send $1 to Abigail Van Buren. 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills. Calif. 90212, for Abby's booklet, “How to Write Letters for All Occasions.”

Failing memory
By T.R. Van Dellen, M.D. (c) 1974 The Chicago Tribune World Rights Reserved Mrs. I.S. from Pittsburgh writes: “My father 75, is becoming extremely forgetful. He can’t remember what he had for dinner last night, but discusses in great detail, business deals he had 30 years ago. Can anything be done to improve his memory or is it too late?” Drugs that improve the circulation to the brain enhance the memory process, but I must warn you that they won't bring about a miraculous or instant cure. Metrazol, Hydergine and a niacinamidepotassium iodide combination have been used for this purpose.Unfortunately. the results have been questionable. A good memory is an asset at any age, but our knowledge of the process is extremely limited. There is general agreement, however, that memory is stored somewhere in the brain. Although it is not a hard and fast rule, a person's retentive powers usually are good if he is of above average intelligence. In any event, an occasional lapse of memory is so common, it is considered normal. These lapses are more pronounced when the person is getting on in years, tired, sick or depressed. Inactivity and too much bed rest also can affect memory. Aas a rule, loss of memory involves recent events. Indeed, most of us can’t recall what we ate for dinner last night, but have no trouble remembering an event of 30 years ago. If we assume that mental activity is related to the blood flow to the brain, improving the cerebral flow should improve the metabolic needs of the brain. Interestingly, researchers have found that blood flow to the brain increases during mental activities such as reading. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) has been linked to memory in studies done on laboratory animals. When science unlocks the screts of the brain, will we find that the memory process is on a physical or a chemical basis?
What exciting prospects for pioneers in this field! BREAKDOWN SIGNS G. N. writes: Doep a person know when he is headed for a nervous breakdown or do other detect it first? REPLY Most breakdowns are preceded by a prolonged period of anxiety, frustration, insomnia and fatigue. But unless these symptoms cause severe distress, the situation may not be recognized for some time.
Ultimately, the problem becomes obvious to all con-, cerned. STRAYING CELLS A.K. writes: My doctor tells me that my pelvic pain is due to endometriosis. Would pregnancy have a bad effect on this condition? REPLY ' No, and it may temporarily elieve your discomfort. No oubt you realize that many women with endometriosis
cannot get pregnant KINDS OF CANCER J.writes: How many kinds of cancer are there? REPLY I don’t know, but one physician decided arbitrarily on 105. TOMORROW: Aspirin should be handled with care.
The largest hailstone definitely recorded in the U.S. weighed 1.67 pounds, falling at Coffeyville, Kan., Sept. 3,1970.
