Heloise

Dear Heloise: An inexpensive, plastic, fishing tackle box makes the best first-aid cabinet! We bought two. One is yellow, and kept in the kitchen, for firstaid purposes, with bandages, ointments, etc., handy for the family; the other one is green, with aspirins, medicine, etc., placed for safe-keeping high on a shelf in our bathroom. When we take vacations, we simply pick up these two neatly compact boxes by their handles and slip them in the car, and we’re prepared for all emergencies. Mrs. Thomas B. Nelson * * * Dear Heloise: We recently went through an interstate move and having heard of people having their possessions lost.or misplaced, I decided it wouldn’t happen to us. Before the move, I ordered labels with the new address on them. I put several on each carton. I stuck them in the drawers of dressers and desks, on the back of the television, the stereo, and on the bottom of the tables and chairs. Although the movers had their own labels, nothing went on the truck without my own labels on them. Patricia Maurin * * * How wise you are! Having made many moves myself while being with the military, I know how easily things are misplaced. What a simple solution to help the movers get the lost item

back to the rightful owner. You really got the brains, gal! Heloise Dear Heloise: I have been reading your column for both of my wedded years and have been wondering if I would ever think of a hint to tell you about. I was in the process of getting ready to go out tonight when I discovered my black patent shoes were scuffed and dirty. I searched my cupboards for something to clean them with when I spotted my bottle of combination cleaner and floor polish. My shoes look new! It cleaned and shined my shoes just like it does floors! Now I won’t have to keep my feet hidden under the table tonight! Nancy Del Santo Dear Heloise: For several years I have had a glass jar that screws on the end of my garden hose to spray bugs and weeds in the yard. So I decided it might work for washing the car. I filled the glass jar with liquid detergent, and then sprayed my car. Next I attached the regular hose nozzle and gave the car a good complete rinse. All in all, it took less than 10 minutes and my car was more clean than if I had run it through an auto wash. The car was spotless—and so easy to wash. J. Weddell Kerr Dear Heloise: I make most of my clothes and with leftover pieces that are too small for something for myself, I make clothes for my granddaughter who is three. If some of the cotton pieces are left over after making what I want, I cut the pieces and sew them together about six inches long and five or six inches wide. I join these together to make beautiful tablecloths for the kitchen or picnic table and even short aprons and pot holders to match. Makes nice gifts for family or friends. In the home decor magazines, these are big rage todaypatchwork tablecloths. Frances Littman

Dear Abby Pants grounds for divorce?

By Abigail Van Buren .c 1 974 by Chicago Tribune-N. Y. News Synd., Inc. DEAR ABBY: I was in the Detroit airport when I read the item in your column about the husband who blew his stack because his wife purchased an overpriced pants suit. Grannies in pants suits doddered by. Everything was in pants: males, females, and debatables. A courting penguin would have been hard put to decide where to drop the pebble in the standardized parade of bulging bellies and butts. Stewardesses in britches walked by. (Why don’t they hire bona fide boys in the first place?) No woman looks good in pants. Some only look worse than others. And that goes for Marlene in her tuxedo, too. It has been said the success of a woman's costume is directly proportional to arousal of a man's desire to tear it off her. The pants mania thus confirms the suspicion that American women dress to impress other women-not men. Pants on wives should be declared valid grounds for uncontestable divorce, with reciprocal privilege in the case of mini skirts and hot pants on husbands. I just had to tell someone. MEL IN BELLEVILLE DEAR MEL: I disagree. Some women look great in pants, but some look better than others. Granted, some women in slacks should not turn their backs, but the same can be said of some men. I have bad news for men who hate pants on women. You are going to be seeing more and more of ladies' pants, and less and less of ladies’ legs. Why? Because they're so comfortable, that’s why! DEAR ABBY: Please don’t laugh at me, but when I grow up I want to be President of the United States. People say that you have to go to law school and become a lawver first. Is that true?

Potato a versatile vegetable

By CRAIG CLAIBOftNE WITH PEIRRE FRANEY ' (C) 1975 New York Times News Service NEW YORK-The potato that we call common, white or Irish (and its relative, the sweet potato Is one of the most versatile of vegetables, with a character that easily adapts itself to other foods and flavors. One small fraction of that versatility is reflected in the following recipes. CRUMB POTATOES 2 & V 2 pounds potatoes one third cup peanut, vegetable or corn oil 5 tablespoons butter salt. 1. Peel the potatoes and drop them into cold water. Remove them one at a time and cut a slice off all four sides plus a slice off each end. This will yield a potato With a boxlike shape. Reserve the outside slices for another purpose or discard them. 2. Cut the “boxes” into neat quarter-inch lenthwise slices. Stack the slices, a few at a time, and cut the slices, lengthwise into quarter-inch-thick sticks. 3. Stack the Sticks and cut them into quarter-inch cubes. Drop the cubes into cold water to prevent discoloration. 4. When ready to cook, drain the cubes into a colander. Run very hot, almost boiling water over them about 10 seconds. Drain well. 5. Heat the oil and one tablespoon butter In a large, shallow skillet and add the potatoes and salt to taste. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring the potatoes, about seven to eight minutes. Drain well. Wipe out the skillet. 6. Heat the remaining butter in the skillet and add the potatoes. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, six to eight minutes longer or until the Cubes are nicely browned and crisp. Drain and serve hot with salt. Yield: Six to eight servings. CARAWAY POTATOES 2 pounds red, new, waxy potatoes salt 4 tablespoons butter

Weekly sermon Divine tonsillectomy

Bj REV. ALLAN HARLAN Rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church We read recently in the Anglican Digest this little story and found it amusing. Perhaps you will, too.” A little boy, recovering in the hospital, told his mother that God had taken out his tonsils. Pressed for an explanation, he said, “They wheeled me into a shiny room where there were two lady angels in white dresses and two men angels in white suits. One of the men angels opened my mouth and looked in, and said, ‘God! Look at this kid’s tonsils.’ Then God came over, took a look at my tonsils and said, ‘Yes, well I’ll take them out right now.’ ” Apparently this little boy knew something about God. His knowledge, however meager, was sufficient for him to identify with God. And how real this experience was with God!

THE MINNESOTA RECORDS RAVEL MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Orchestra will be the first U.S. orchestra to record the complete orchestral works of Ravel. It has signed a contract with Vox Productions to make nine records within the next two years. The recordings, made under the baton of Stanislaw SkrowacI zewski, will be part of Vox Productions’ “American Orchestra Festival Series.”

We love the simple faith of children who can run with God in their fresh and innocent imagination, who can discover Him in many interesting ways so natural to them. Conversely, in the adult world, there is so nfuch “Christian” and serious talk about God by wellintentioned people, including their counterpart, 1 ' who like religious discussion without affiliation. Such have prompted Leslie Stephen to exclaim, “They speak about God with more precision than an etomologist would claim in describing the spots on a beetle.” Chad Walsh would say they try to put God in a box. Children don’t! For most kids God is alive and well. But of course, there must be time for religious instruction and growth as they,

DEAR RUSSELL. No. But out of 37 presidents. 25 were lawyers. DEAR ABBY: My husband has been dead for 15 years, but I still consider myself to be MRS. JOHN JACKSON. My problem is: People still address mail (and especially Christmas cards) to MRS. JUNE JACKSON. This really makes me angry because it is my understanding that until I marry again, I am MRS. JOHN JACKSON. My sister-in-law, who thinks she knows it all. told me that since John is not living, there is no MRS. JOHN JACKSON. Am I right? Or did women's lib change all that? WHO AM I? DEAR WHO: Socially, you are still Mrs. John Jackson. Don’t blame women’s lib for your sister-in-law’s ignorance. DEAR ABBY: That letter about the red hair reminded me of my own situation. All during my childhood my grandmother used to tell me how much she hated red hair. * After I was married and expecting my first baby. I had two fear-s. One was that I would have twins. (They run in both families.) The other was that I’d have a red-haired baby. (My father-in-law' was red-headed.) When they told me I had a red-headed baby girl I thought they were kidding me, but wmen T saw that wrinkled, crying bundle with bright red hair I knew they were serious. I wasso thankful that she had ten little fingers and ten little toes and w'as perfect in every w’ay, I forgot about her hair. Five years later I had a red-headed baby boy. He was perfectly healthy, too, which was cause to rejoice. Both my children are standouts because of their red hair, and I suspect that people who “hate” redheads are secretly jealous D.M. IN GRETNA, LA. 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.

too, become aware of the stark reality of things as they are in this world. The run-over dog, the dying pet mouse, and worst of all their continual exposure to human suffering and worldwide horror surging forth from that one-eyed monster in the family room, requires in this delicate situation, someone to help answer as fairly and honestly as can be the childish question of “Why?” Let us pray that those adults who respond to a child’s questions about God, frogs, death, angels, and the tragedies of life, may do so with great sensitivity and compassion. Adult child-like faith Is not necessarily ignorance or stupidity. Blessed, indeed, is the adult who can enter into the wonderful world of children, where all things are possible with God.
