By United Press International Striping walls is fashionable and produces very decorative effects, advises the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association. First, paint the walls in a chosen background color. After thoroughly drying, securely fasten masking tape to the surface, marking off the areas to be striped in the width you desire. Paint these designated areas in contrasting colors. When they are thoroughly dry, remove the strips of masking tape. * * * To clean records, wipe with a soft cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol.

Christmas Day dinner guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Don Noble of Avon; Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wingler and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bassett of Danville, Mrs. Leona Wingler of Clayton, and Mr. and Mrs. Junior Wingler. The Charles Coffey family drove to Indianapolis Saturday to be the dinner guests of Mrs. Coffey’s sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Douglass. Edgewood High School was host to the Cadets of Cascade Friday night. The game was fairly close all the way, however. Edgewood had the “edge” and took the game 83-77. The Cadets shot well enough, but made thirty-one errors, which is enough to beat most any team. The three high men for Cascade were: Bill Coffey with 25 points; Bob Coffey with 20; and Paul Johnson with 13. The next foe for Cascade will be Granville Wells on the Boone County floor, Jan. 10. The home team record at this Holiday stop is four games won and four lost. The “News” brings the word that John Steinbeck has passed on. What a writer he was with his many books that dealt with the Is it true about blondes? Blondes may have more fun but in the New Year they’ll have to step aside for the brunettes ( if popularity polls are any indication) for it appears that more women are now tinting their hair dark brown or black while fewer are resorting to bleaching. Being born a brunette has tremendous advantages. According to surveys, dark-haired women attract men naturally and easily, are marvellous mothers, capable drivers, are successful business-wise, have a quick intelligence and are usually blessed with remarkably even temperaments. Beauty consultants stress that brunettes are lucky, too in having strong skin pigmentation that won’t fade or deteriorate too rapidly. As a result, they always manage to remain looking a decade or so younger than their blond or red-haired contemporaries. It’s always wise for brunettes to keep a watchful eye on any gradual tendencies to sallowness. An established cleansing routine that is rounded off by toning with lemon Jelvyn skin freshener (one of the best complexion waker-uppers of all) usually takes care of that problem. So does the daily habit of smoothing a layer of tropical moist oil of Olay over the skin, to keep sub-strata oil and moisture

One of the lowest and meanest female characters was one John Steinbeck created in his novel, “East of Eden.” The most low down, cunning and detestable male character can be found in “The Wandering Jew,” written by Eugene Sue, a Frenchman. The Coatesville Extension Homemakers Club met December 10th, for their Christmas meeting and gave devotions from the story “The Gift of the Magi” and closing with prayer. The group sang the song of the month. “O Come All Ye Faithful.” When the roll was called, each member tried to guess her secret sister of the past year. Esther Aubrey and Laura Biehl installed the new officers in a candle light ceremony. The officers are: president, Gayle Robinson; vice president, Mary Brewer; secretary, Mable Hanlon; treasurer, Mable Pfister. Gifts were exchanged that came from under a lovely Christmas tree. The hostesses were: Icy Bridges and Geneva Herold. Recent callers on Mr. and Mrs. Glen Duncan were, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Kaelber of Brazil, Mrs. Grace Albright and Mrs. Ruth Smith of Fillmore, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Broadstreet and children and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Runnells and family.

Color in legwear is a great fashion treasure, and career girls are learning that the digging is easy — even on a beginner’s budget. Working girls asked how to build a basic legwear wardrobe for the office in a recent talk-in with Beauty Mist fashion coordinators. Q. How can I create a wardrobe of colored hosiery with a limited budget ? A. First, ,^ke stock of all the clothes in your closet, listing each dress and skirt according to color and pattern. Then list complimentary colors in hosiery and select a group of shades that offers the most versatility. Fortunately for your budget, blacks, browns and greys are popular shades this season and they are wonderfully wearable colors with most of the season’s fashions. Be sure to include two or three brights, however, to give yourself a lift. Q. Are the solid color opaque styles a good choice for the office? A. Yes, and now they share the spotlight with the new Beauty Mist velvet colors. For a change of pace, wear two pairs of the same see-through velvet shade at once. This deepens the color dramatically and also has a slimming effect. Q. What should I look for when I choose sheers in complexion tones ? A. Select styles with sheer heel and demi-toe for fashion versatility. You can wear these styles with either closed or sling back

shoes. Also, ask for hosiery that is made with Cantrece for a stayput fit. When hosiery fits your legs accurately, it will wear longer.

reserves perfectly balanced. Brunettes almost always choose dazzling colors for their clothes. Gay scarlets, vibrant corals, sparkling turquoise and brilliant emerald are flattering but trust the very fortunate individualist to discover that she looks equally stunning in the shades of delphinium blue, shell pink, watermelon and buttercup yellow. Even light navy blue is a fashion favorite with brunettes because it makes the skin look incredibly clearer and fresher. ‘Too Littles’ Need a Hand WASHINGTON (UPD—It’s not too late to help the “too littles.” One of every three city school children is a “too little.” Their plight is defined in “Teaching the Disadvantaged” —a publication in which the Association of Classroom Teachers <ACT> urges parents and teachers to concentrate more of their time and effort toward the “too littles.” These younsters have too little of everything—living space, food, sleep, personal attention, medical and nursing care when sick. They also have too little -mergy and endurance, too little information about themselves and their world, too little curiosity. They had a typical child’s measure of being curious when they began life, but they have learned to dim it. “Why have curiosity?” they say. “Why ask when no one answers?” Gertrude Noar, author of the report on the disadvantaged school child, pointed to some of the ways in which schools can provide experiences which would never occur in the pov-erty-ridden atmosphere at the “too little’s” home. She said close attention to the individual child is a prerequisite in these cases. An average middle class child is surrounded by parental affection.

Mr. Joe Elrod of Mansfield, Ohio has been a Christmas visitor at the farm home of his parents’. Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Elrod. A rather small crowd was recorded at the United Methodist Sunday School. Sickness and inclement weather both helped hold the attendance down. At the close of morning lessons a candy treat was given out to every one present. Mr. Harmon Hathaway drove to Madison, Indiana early Monday morning and brought his wife home to spend Christmas. The weather was milder in Madison then was found in Coatesville. Both wind and snow flurries increased, Mr. Hathaway related as he drove north. Coatesville folks were surprised and made sad when news came that Josef Sharp of Greencastle had passed away. Josef was born and reared here in Coatesville, finished the local grades and graduated from Greencastle High School. He was the son of Joseph and Mary Bryant Sharp. His father was a long time druggist and his mother was a lady active in local club work, a great reader and interested in the public library. Josef had an older brother, Kenneth who preceded him in death. Mr. Sharp is remembered by many citizens as an unusually friendly man, courteous to young and old and one who had deep respect for God and Church. He died at the age of 63. Services were held Thursday, December 26, at the Rector Funeral Home and burial was in Greencastle. One Christmas Eve at 11:00 members of the United Methodist Church met in the church auditorium with their pastor, Walter Bartholomew for song services and communion. The evening was the coldest of our short winter, however, a goodly number attended the services. Dinner guests at the Davidson home on Christmas Day were: Mr. and Mrs. Gene Johnson and grandchildren, from Plainfield, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Davidson and Mr. Henry Harbison of Bloomington, Ind.

DEAR HELOISE: Would you like to have something different this Christmas, like changing your inside and outside light decorations to all one color? Why not swap bulbs with friends and neighbors to get the color you want and save the expense of buying a lot of new ones? We did this with our neighbor last year and both of us have enjoyed the different colors. Jan Bentley * ♦ Well, how ’bout that! After having the same variety of colored Christmas lights year after year, I think this is a great idea. The color combinations are many. All blue on a tree sprayed white—all red on a natural green tree—green and red on a silver tree. Just decide what you think will look best in your house and start trading. As Jan said, if you don’t like the color scheme this year, you can always trade back for some other color next Christmas. Let’s hope everyone’s holidays are joMy. Love, lieloise * * * DEAR HELOISE; For my mom’s anniversary, all of us kids gave her a complete set of non-stick cookware. She was afraid of scratching them when stacking, so she placed plastic coffee can lids betw’een each pot and pan. This has worked great and she stacks them without fear of ruining the insides. Mary * * * DEAR HELOISE: Here are some hints on pipe cleaners a wonderful invention! They're wonderful for hooking a vine to a trellis or through a broom clip to hang a broom. They are perfect for holding papers together as they make a good large ring. In fact, I find them invaluable around my home. Mrs. Clemmer * * * DEAR HELOISE: I read your hint about blowing the lint out of your sewing machine. It is a marvelous idea to clean the lint out each time you change the bobbin. I use a man’s old-fashioned shaving brush (available in variety stores I and give the mechanism a good “sweep." The bristles are long enough to get into all the little crannies, yet soft enough so it won’t harm any of the delicate, yet sturdy mechanism. Mrs. R. K. * * * DEAR HELOISE: Here is the way I dry the carpets in my motel when wa-

ter from the shower over the tub wets a spot at the bathroom door. In damp weather - the carpet begins to smell musty before it dries. In the bottom of a sturdy, open-top cardboard box, I cut a hole the size of the hose on my wife’s hair dryer. Then I simply turn the box upside down over the wet spot, insert the hose and turn on the hairdryer! Before I know it, I have a dry carpet. Finis Shepherd * * * DEAR HELOISE: Last time I made a pineapple upside down cake, I realized I had no sliced pineapple to put on the bottom with the brown sugar and cherries. But I did have a large can of crushed pineapple. I used it instead. It was much tastier because the pineapple is more evenly spread and it's easier - to cut because it isn't in such large chunks. Just be sure to drain most of the juice from the crushed pineapple. Mrs. Jane Fortier * * * DEAR HELOISE: I do a lot of embroidery on pillowcases. I use two sets of embroidery hoops one set on each case. I have a piece of plastic foam about three inches wide and long enough to go around the pole of the floor lamp I sit under when I sew. When I finish one color thread on each case, I stick needle and all in the foam and go to another color. Right now I have about eight different colors threaded and ready if I need them, so don’t have to unthread each needle. Mrs. G. Perlinger, Sr. ♦ * * DEAR HELOISE: Because I’m a coupon saver, I finally devised a way to put them in some order, so a certain one could be found quickly when needed on shopping dav. I purchased a 3”x5'' file with dividers and separated the coupons into various catagories . . . cereals, hand soaps, dish and laundry detergents, cleaning products, puddings and gelatin, toothpaste, sauces and gravies, etc. Now I don’t have to hunt for the coupon I need when I know I’m going to purchase soap or what have you. As you know, the mailman delivers envelopes containing free coupons, various magazine have some, and the newspaper has several, too. Those I cannot use, I “swap” or give to neighbors.

Whitcomb appointment

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—Gov.elect Edgar D. Whitcomb today named Ruel W. Steele, Bedford, as the next state highway commission chairman and said he was willing to sign a law providing a one or two-cent gasoline tax increase to finance better roads. Whitcomb held a news conference shared with Steele, a former state senator and one-time administrative assistant to exGov. Ralph Gates in the 1940s. Steele, an attorney, thus will succeed Robert S. Whitehead, Kokomo, who was outgoing Democratic Governor Branigin’s appointment to head the fourmember part-time commission. Steele served as chairman of the state highway remedial legislation subcommittee during the time he was a member of the state Senate, from 1955 through 1962, and was attorney for the Indiana Senate from 1949 through 1952. Steele said he personally “favors an increase in the state gasoline tax” as a means of getting better and safer roads, but had not discussed this matter in detail with Whitcomb. Whitcomb then said if the public and the Legislature decide the most likely route to better Indiana roads is by adding “one or two cents” to the present state tax of six cents, he would not block such a bill. Whitcomb said he still “strongly favors” a full-time state highway commission, but “we are going under the law which provides for a part-time commission. I think that during

my administration I will seek a change to a full-time commission.” Other points made by Whitcomb during his news confer, ence: — He has not yet and may not take a position on a direct primary bill because “it is an academic question ... not an important question at this time ... so low in my priority I am not giving it any serious thought or comment.” — He would not favor repeal of capital punishment unless he could be convinced that the lack of the death penalty would be as great a deterrent to murder as the presence of the penalty. — He declined to take a position on a question now technically before Branigin in the form of a petition seeking commutation of the death sentence for Emmett Hashfield, sentenced to die for the 1960 slaying of ll-year-old Avril (Honey) Terry, Boonville. Whitcomb said he would “reach that decision in the event it is presented, based on the facts then available.” Tranigin is expected to takr uo action on the petition since no death date has been set. — No decision has yet been made on whether to keep or replace incumbent Commissioner Anthony Kuharich of the Indiana Department of Correction. However, Whitcomb said he does expect to retain Dr. David L. Smith, Rushville, as state veterinarian.

What does a child’s

fever mean?

When the mouth temperature is taken and the thermometer’s red line climbs above the 98.6degree arrow, a mother may have cause for concern. That’s understandable, for the child’s fevered brow and flushed face are signs that something could be wrong. Actually fever can be a friend as well as foe. It’s the body’s early warning system. It is rarely dangerous. And, it is also one condition that can almost always be relieved. The body’s temperature is not constant. During any 24-hour period, it has several ups and downs from the 98.6 degree norm. It is generally at a low— usually 97 degrees or a bit lower--during the early morning hours. This is because the circulation of our blood slows down while we sleep. By late afternoon or early evening, with the day’s activity, it may go up to about 99.5 degrees.

sease. When a hand, for instance, becomes infected and inflamed, you will notice it gets quite hot at that place. This is a little localized fever. If this localized fever does not overcome the infection, then toxins known as pyrogens accumulate and go to the brain’s thermostat. This signals an action that fires up the entire body to battle the invading germs. Body fever signifies that the infection isn’t minor or limited to one area but is now serious enough to summon all the body’s natural defenses. Babies and young children tend to get very high temperatures from only slight infections. A child’s temperature can shoot up to 104 degrees for a few hours with just a simple sore throat. This is mainly because the thermostat in the child is not fully developed. Conversely, there are a number of serious ailments, such as appendicitis, that often produce only low fe-

The body’s heating system is very similar to that in your own home. The body, like a furnace, burns fuel which, in this case, is food that is burned primarily in muscle tissue. This generated heat is then distributed through a vast network of blood vessels in the same way the furnace’s heat is sent out through the house through a system of pipes. Like a house, too, the body is insulated. The insulation is a layer of fat under the skin. The body likewise has a “thermostat.” It is located in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain. This thermostat goes into immediate action once there’s an infection or outbreak of diLocal option tax may be proposed

Local option sales or payroll taxes, which probably will be proposed as alternatives to any state-level tax increase, would deal a savage financial blow to 75 of the state’s 92 counties while providing a substantial windfall to eight of the most populous counties, according to Lawrence Dorrell, legislative director of Indiana Farmers Union. In a statement issued from the Indianapolis headquarters of the organization today, Mr. Dor rell cited figures showing that a 1 cent increase in the sales tax, if levied state-wide and distributed back to counties on the basis of population, would provide an estimated $18.60 per capita to each county; while the same levy on a county basis would bring revenue from a low of $6 per capita in Warren County to a high of $24 in Marion County. In gross dollar terms, Dorrell said 75 of the state’s less populous counties would “lose” their fair share of a 1 cent sales tax in amounts ranging above a quarter of a million dollars per year in Hamilton, Hendricks and Miami Counties, while Marion County would be handed a tax windfall of nearly 4 V4 million dollars annually, as compared to a state-wide distribution on a population basis. Mr. Dorrell, whose organization is among many seeking substantial property tax replacement from the 1969 Indiana General Assembly, contends that, “in the absence of new tax revenues, property taxes in Indiana might increase as much as 50 per cent in the next four years.” He notes that the increasing costs of public schools is the main contributing factor in the current property tax crisis, and believes the most equitable way to solve the school tax problem would be for the state to raise more revenue and distribute it by formula. However, the second choice of the organization would be for the state to distri. bute a ‘local government surtax’ to county governments on a population basis. Mr. Dorrell contends that, “everyone’s property tax problems exists in the taxing district of his residence. In the mobile economy of today, a person doesn’t necessarily earn or spend the major portion of his income in the tax district in which he lives. Therefore, any tax measures which would allow a neighboring unit of government to levy a tax on his income or his expenditures would be a sort of double blow below the belt. Such would be the case,” according to Dorrell, “if the 1969 Indiana General Assembly chooses to seek obviously-needed new revenues by foregoing a state-wide levy in favor of granting local govern, ment units the authority to go it alone in the revenue rat race.”

vers. As a rule, when your child’s temperature goes over 103 degrees you should summon the doctor. A fever of 103 degree: or more usually leads to excessive loss of water, known as dehydration. It is important that the water loss at this time be replaced. High temperatures also burn up proteins, carbohydrates and fat at a rapid rate. This weakens the child at a time when reserves are so badly needed. That’s why doctors suggest a balanced diet that is especially high in protein. There was a time when fever was allowed to run its course on the theory that once it broke, recovery was imminent. Today, doctors believe in bringing the fever down as quickly as possible. The most widely used method of bringing a child’s temperature down is aspirin. How it does this is still a mystery being probed intensively today by medical scientists. Until recently it was believed that aspirin acted directly on the body’s thermostat in the brain. Now other studies point to the possibility that aspirin may work to inhibit formation of toxins in the body’s white blood cells thus allowing the thermostat to start reducing the temperature by increasing sweating. Usually aspirin will start to bring a fever down within 30 minutes and will hold it at a lower level for as much as four hours. This should give you enough time to consult your physician, so he can determine the underlying cause of the fever.
