Very Tricky

Blackwood on Bridge— Tricks Often Can Be

: TRICKS a trick, as the saying goes, but, like most of the other old saws of the game, this one is not to be trusted.

Take losing tricks, for example. One definitely is not the same as another. Much depends on when you lose a trick, how you lose it and to which opponent you lose it. . The declarer in today's deal was smart enough to realize this, After some brisk bidding, South reached a contract of five clubs. He considered this bid to be a sacrifice as he could not be sure of defeating

the opponents at four spades. 8 uw.»

THE “SACRIFICE” turned out to be a big winner as South made five clubs through a combination of good luck and ability to handle his losers properly.

®! HE average housewife who launders at home | uses too little soap, too much bleach, and does not rinse enough, ‘according to the Linen Supply’ Association of America, If she uses tap water, chances are it isn't hot enough to get white things really clean. Housewives can learn a great deal from the washing processes used by linen supply companies, since these companies—renting towels, table and bed linen and washable service apparel to business and industry—must cope with a variety of excessive dirt and stubborn stains, They have learned from continuous research and experience how to transform grease and dirt-laden linen into white and germ-free laundry, while conserving linen life-—simultaneous 4 achievements not attained by | all housewives, Herbert V. Hedeen, secretary of the association, says that many housewives are under the delusion the more bleach they use the whiter clothes will be. This is not the case, he says, for excessive use of bleach weakens tensile strength. and can produce great fabric destruction. White, clean linens are produced, he says, by plenty of soap, lots of rubbing, boil-

ing hot water and numerous | rinses,

linens through as many as four different suds. As for rubbing, the old washing board used the correct idea. Linen supply laundries have improved .on the old-fashioned washing board in the modern, efficient wash wheels of their mammoth washing drums, but they duplicate the rubbing, the bumping and friction which is essential to loosening dirt. Garments can't just be swished around in suds, he says, and come out lily-white. Elbow grease, -or its mechanical equivalent, are musts, As for hot water, the hotter the better, says this authority,

Linen supply laundries use water up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot water will not damage the tensile strength of linen, he says. It cleans, and— important—it kills germs. * » » »

Expert Tells How to Care

For Plastic

Her wash water won't change the shape’ of rigid plastic refrigerator ‘boxes, according to Robert K. Gibbs, pioneer plastics manufacturer, “If you can put your hands in water, it is safe for plastic goods,” he declared. ; Mr. Gibbs pointed out a homemaker will get longest life out of the containers by observing

these points:

ONE-—Wash the plastic boxes with either soap or synthetic

.detergent. Water up to 160 de-

grees F. will not affect them. TWO-—Avoid using scouring powders, steel wool, or other abrasives in cleaning plastic articles used for food storage.

They can scgatch interior sur- |

faces. Plastic is non-porous and does not transmit food odors or tastes, but food caught in tiny scratches may cause difficulty. THREE—When bits of food remain in a container, just flush them off with water. Use a soapy dish cloth or sponge for stubborn spots. Towel or simply let dry in air,

pour hot soups, gravies, and other hot leftovers in a rigid plastic container, but do not try to store hot bacon grease or other very high-temperature liquids. Let them cool off before pouring into a plastic box. FIVE—If you happen to crack a container a bit, use a piece of cellophane tape to seal the crack. This prevents food leakage and keeps the unit airtight 80 you can continue to use it.
