Jim Backus Back On ' Television Series ' By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent < HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Come- < dian Jim Backus took an oath, ' swore and pledged he would nev- 1 er i appear in another TV series afte*> “I Married Joan’ went dowfy in flames four years ago— ■ but be>>hooked again. > The .raucous-voiced Backus has completed the pilot film for “Father of the Bride” and admits he’s terrified the series will be sold tp a network. “I weakened,” he said lamely. "H’s like childbirth. You forget the pain. Why do people drink? When you have a hangover you swear off, but as soon as you’re back on your feet you’re ready for another blast. “Same thing is true of a series. Like dope. I’m hooked. I live-in terms that the ser’es* will last for hundreds of years.” Form’s Unique Group “I couldn’t stand the ‘I Married Joan’ series the first time around. But on the serx-ad showing they were pretty funny. Now that all 119 of ’em are og the sixth run they've become classics.” Backus took every precaution to avoid the pitfalls vs tumbling into another series, gqing to such lengths as forming “Series Anonymous” based on the same principles as Alcoholics Anonymous. “If an actor felt he was slipping back into a series he could call me and Ann Sothern. or a couple of other veterans and we’d rush right ever to his house,” Backus exp.ained. “Thea we d remind him of all the pain, the poor scripts, fights with the producers. “We'd advise him not to answer phone calls from his agent. And we would search the house for residual checks — even looking in the chandeliers for hidden contracts. Began To Weaken “Then we’d make ’em promise not to watch any series on TV. It worked pretty well for a while, but then they began weakening, one at a time.” Finally, it happened to founder Jim himself. “During meetings with the production people they couldn’t understand why I demanded that everyone of us should go through psychiatric examination to weed out the pencil-ch ewers and earpullers,” Jim said. “Little things like that can drive you crazy over a 39-week schedule. On a movie it’s different. By the time you find out you hate everyone else in the cast and crew the picture is over, sb you don’t flip. j “But on a series little things are magnified out of proportion. Yes, sir, every TV series cast and crew needs three months basic training at the Menninger Clinic as sort of a shakedown. 0 I zO Years Ago Today April 17, 1939—The Rev. W. H. Werning, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church at Friedheim, has resigned "the pastorate to accept a call to the Immanuel Lutheran church at Youngstown, O. The Rev. R. W.

- 0 Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE O i i "*"* Ruys After vacuuming and cleaning the rug or carpet, wipe it with a cloth wrung out of diluted ammonia. This will brighten the most faded floor covering. « . Apple Cider Cider that is made from early apples will not. possess good keeping qualities. Washinc Upholstery A good method for washing upholstery is: In four cups of boiling water dissolve one cup of shaved mild soap, or soap powder; after cooling, beat with egg beater until fluffy. Then dip a small clean brush into the fluff and scrub only a -mall area of the upholstery at a time. Wipe the suds off quickly with a clean cloth and rinse thoroughly with another cloth frequently wrung out in clean water. Change water often. Wipe as dry as possible with a soft cloth. Potato Chips Potato chips will keep fresh much longer in bags that do not permit strong light to reach them, than in clear or opaque waxed bags. A tight tin container is best. Suede Shoes The shiny spots on suede shoes may be removed by rubbing them with fine sandpaper. Removing Old Varnish Old varnish can be removed from surfaces by making a solution of one part caustic soda and three parts lukewarm water. Apply with a brush or sponge. Let stand a moment, then scrape off. Pimple Scars The scar- from pimples will soon disappear if they are bathed with asohition of boraeic acid, followed by an application of zinc ointment. Eggs If eggs are to be stored, store them with the small ends down, and they will keep much better. ’ Appetisers Tempting appetizers to serve with coacktails can be made with hard-cooked eggs. Remove the yolks and mix with pickle relish, sardines and dressing, then replace in the egg white cases. Varnish Stains To remove varnish stains from materials, rub the sports with tur- 1 pentine or benzine. Then wash the garment thoroughly. Cheesecloth Cheesecloth is the best material for dusting, as it spreads no lint, is most absorbent, and can be washed out readily. o— — t | Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE | -I ■ ! - ! ■ C Q. What is the customary tip for a golf caddie? A. Tips, where they are allowed vary, but a safe minimum is 25 cents for a fee under $2 and 50 cents over $2. If two persons share a caddie, you both tip at the same rate. In tournaments, tip much higher. Q. If the bride-elect has a brother of suitable age, is the bridegroom obligated to ask him t~> serve as one of the ushers? A. While he is not exactly obligated, it is a thoughtful guesturc ’ and does make for better future re- . lations with his wife’s family. Q. How should a letter be add- , ressed to a man land his wife, both of whom are doctors? A. Simply as. “The Doctors ; Robert and Ruth Cunningham.” Q. What types of letters must always be written by hand, rather than by typewriter? A. Letters of condolence, formal invitations (those written in the third person), and most letters of .congratulation, such as on the occasion of an engagement, the ' birth of a baby, etc., also the thank-you notes of a bride for the 1 gifts she has received. Q. How does one properly signal the waiter in a hotel or club ' dining room that be is ready to 1 have his plate removed from the ' table? A. The knife and fork, placed side by side on the plate, indicates that one has finished that particular course.

Q. When the bride is being married in a traveling dress, what should the bridegroom wear? A. An ordinary business suit, or one that is appropriate for traveling, with perhaps a little white flower from the bride’s corsage in his lapel. Q. Is it correct for an employer to introduce his secretary to a caller by saying, “Mr. Adams, this is my secretary, Miss Ryan,” or does he give the woman's name first, as “Miss Ryan, this is Mr. Adams”? A. In the business world, the most important person is mentioned first, regardless of sex. Q. Are desserts always eaten with the fork? A. This depends upon the dessert. Some are just too soft to be handled with the fork. A good rule to follow is to use your fork whenever possible—but use good judgment, too. Q. What should a guest do if he knocks off a glass of water, spills his coffee, or has some other such mishap at the dinner table? A. He tells his hostess how sorrv he is, but lets her take care of the situation. She will do what she can' to repair the damage and will probably conceal the soiled spot with a napkin.
