Whether a trait of her people or natural zest, she has an enthusiasm for job, living and people. She comes: from Christamore House where she's served as program director since June, 1951. “1 got the feeling for people growing up in settlement houses in Phoenix, Ariz.,”” Miss Torres said. It's possible that “feeling” started in childhood when she fled with her family from Yucatan, Mexico, during a political oppression that affected her father, mayor of the town.

” n n THE TORRES family settled in Phoenix after coming to the United States and Ignacia decided to he a writer. She changed to social work in Phoenix Junior College, choosing sociology and economics as major subjects. She ran out of money when the family moved to l.os Angeles so she went job-hunting. She cleaned apartments; babysat, worked in settlement houses and worked as a file clerk to finance her schooling in the university there, finally managing a B.S. degree in sociology. Out of money again, she took a full-time job in postal censorship during the war. “I was one of those awful soldiers witn the scissors who cut things out of letters,” she said. Having saved her money, she made ready for more study in social work.

Don't Support Irresponsibility

By MURIEL LAWRENCE "THE garden went untended until Mrs. K. weeded it. The paint went right on peeling | off the porch until she and her youngster gave it two new coats. As to

cleaning the cellar—well, whenever that subject is broached to Mr. K. he is sure to have another

chore that demands immediate attention. So Mrs. K. cleans the cellar, and wants to know. how to change the irresponsible example Mr. K. is giving to his children to a better one. We can’t change people who don't want to change. What, then, is there to do about an irresponsible parent of our children? I think we might say to ourselves very seriously, “What is it in me that has attracted

irresponsibility to me? What is it in me that it

can attach itself to?”

So instead of trying to change Mr. K., I urge Mrs. K. to go to work and re-assemble another image of herself for him to see.

Irresponsibility

If we think of ourslaves,

She could begin by refusing to do any chore

in her home that she does not enjoy doing. This would take courage and self-discipline; but since they are needed commodities in her situation, I strongly suggest that she stop weeding, painting and cleaning the cellar unless she can get fun out of doing them.

I THINK Mrs. K. needs to take a deliberate holiday from her false and perhaps self-righteous sense of responsibility for other people's work. I might even suspect that her real motive for do-

ing her husband's work may not be high devotion

OUVE carelessly dropped your pen while writing a vacation thank you. Your husband comes

home with an ink spot on one of his best shirts. " Problems? Not really. Not when you know that in removing ink spots from fabrics “it's the way you do it, not what you do.” That's the conclusion.-of an expert, anyway, who has spent 10 years working out methods of removing ink spots without removing the material, too. ~ - “ YOU WILL have more success as a spot remover, says this research man, if you rey member ink is removed by solvent action. Make it a practice to flush the treating solution through the fabric, instead of just soaking it. Here are some easy to follow home treatments devised by the ink expert: For permanent ink-—rinse the spot under running water until no more ink comes out. Then place a pad of absorbent material under the spot and drop lemon juice or citric acid (5 per cent solution) on the spot, mov-

ing the pad from time to time.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES . e Are Some Practical Trick

Rinse with clear water. Next step involves the ‘“percolating” technique. Place the material loosely over a bowl and slowly pour warm soapsuds through the spot. If the spot is on wool, alpaca or silk, use a detergent instead of soap. If there is still some discoloration, place the material over a bowl and. percolate warm glycerine or ethylene glycol through the spot, rubbing with a glass rod or stainless steel spoon. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. = » ”

FOR SPOTS made: by wash able ink, follow the above directions but omit the lemon Juice treatment, As a last resort for persistent stains in white material only you may soak in a dilute solu tion of hydrogen peroxide and household ammonia. Rinse again with clear water. To remove spots caused bh) ballpoint .inks, place an absor bent pad under the fabric and drop carbon tetrachloride on the spot with a medicine dropper. This will limit spreading of the spot. Move the pad from time to time as it becomes stained with the dissolved ink.
