Hints from Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: For eight years my little boy has enjoyed an indoor sandbox of commeal spread out in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or large cookie sheet with sides. He spends hours building roads for his tiny cars. When he’s finished, I pour the commeal into a plastic bag to use again in the sandbox many times. It’s well worth the cleanup time for the hours of pleasure. -Katy * * * You could spread out newspapers or an old shower curtain or tablecloth and place the pan in the middle to make that cleanup a lot quicker.

Indoor sandbox is not 'corny' idea; roaches 'nipped' the dust

to kill roaches reminded me of a roach killer I concocted myself, quite by accident. After an abundant grape crop, I tried my hand at homemade winemaking. Evidently I bottled it a bit too soon as a couple of bottles blew their corks. By the time I discovered it, both were packed full of dead roaches. I assume they died happy. Ralph Steele TRAVEL TIP Dear Heloise: My husband and I travel quite a bit and do enjoy a cup of coffee as soon as we get up. I took an old makeup suitcase and made what we refer to as our “survival kit.” It contains a two-cup coffee pot, two cups, coffee, powdered creamer, sugar, sweetener, etc. Now we can

Dear Abby

Car vandalism is found to be 'doggone' shame

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend recently bought a new car. It’B really beautiful and he keeps it in perfect condition. The problem is that he is afraid to park it anywhere for fear it will be stolen. When we go out together, he drives my car if we have to park it somewhere. When we use his car, I have to sit in it while he does his errands. Abby, this doesn’t make any sense to me. Why have a nice car if you can’t take it anywhere? No neighborhood is safe. Cars are stolen in broad daylight even out of parking lots! He said that at, his place of work three of his co-workers have had their cars stolen in the last two weeks! What is a person supposed to do nowadays when nothing is safe from thieves? Don’t suggest any burglar alarms a real pro knows how to deactivate most of them. FED UP DEAR FED: Has your boyfriend considered getting a Doberman pinscher or a German shepherd? The dog need not be vicious. All it has to do is sit in the car. * * * DEAR ABBY: In response to “Sleepy-Time Gal,” who discovered on' her honeymoon that her 27-year-old, 6-foot

enjoy that first cup upon awakening. This case also contains hot cocoa, tea bags, instant grits, instant soup, a jar of processed cheese and individually packaged crackers. Any time we want a little snack, it’s available. B. Mills * ★ ★ And, oh, so inexpensive! Heloise CHILD’S BROOM Dear Heloise: If you find it hard to get up and down because of arthritis, a bad back, etc., buy a child’s broom and mop for doing some of the chores that require bending and kneeling.

It’s great for cleaning out hard-to-reach places, getting behind things and into narrow spaces. Even scrubbing out the tub can be a tolerable chore. Bea Hamaker RECYCLING A HOSE Dear Heloise: Here’s a time-saver for those with portable humidifiers: I had one of those plastic hoses that attach to the shower head or faucet for washing hair. It sprang a leak at one end. The end with the leak happened to be the end that attached to the faucet, so I cut off the leaky part and wedged a plastic funnel securely into

husband was afraid of the dark, I learned the hard way to have a healthy fear of the dark. My mother-in-law, visiting my home, fell down the stairs and broke her leg while trying to find the bathroom in the dark. My best friend stubbed her big toe on a chair leg and broke it (her big toe) on the same errand in her own home in the dark. My neighbor caught her foot in the blanket kicked off the bed by her husband and broke her collarbone. There is a big difference between a child’s fear of darkness and an adult’s respect for the fact that people don t have cat’s eyes. We have a small night-light in every room and hallway of our home. It’s good insurance against accidents. MRS. G.M. DEAR MRS. M.: Thanks for an illuminating suggestion. A reader from Ormond Beach, Fla., offers yet another theory on the fear of darkness: DEAR ABBY: Tell “Sleepy-Time Gal” her hubby is probably not afraid of the dark. He just wants the bathroom light on to know where it is because he can’t remember whose bedroom he is in. If he is 6 feet, very sweet and enjoys cuddling, he has probably been in quite a few. A.M. MOORE

the end of the hose. Now, instead of running back and forth with a pitcher of water to fill the humidifier, I just roll the unit up to the nearest sink. By putting the funnel under the faucet and the open end of the hose into the unit, I can fill it with water quickly and neatly, with no more spills on floor or carpet. S.H. STICKY PLASTICWARE Dear Heloise: The best thing I’ve found to remove stickiness from plastic storage bowls and containers is plain old baking soda. Make a paste and rub over the plastic pieces. You’ll find them as good as new! C. Rudisill

EASIER CLEAN-UP Dear Heloise: The next time you broil steaks in your oven, put them on a rack in a 9”x13” cake pan sprayed with a nonstick vegetable spray. The pan will fit sideways in the broiler. It saves messy broiler clean ups and cleaning the cake pan is a breeze if it has been sprayed first. Also, the steaks will stay warm longer as they can go right to the table in the cake pan. Pam Bennett SUBSTITUTE FILTER Dear Heloise: If you use an automatic coffee maker and are out of filters, use a piece of paper toweling. Works great in a pinch! Edith Swanson
