Want an inexpensive household cleaner?

WEST LAFAYETTE — New .. . Improved . . . Amazing new formula... the words jump out at you as you push your grocery cart down the aisle of cleaning products. And as more and more improvements go into the cans, the price marked on top seems to go up and up, too. How can you avoid the increased price for ever-changing cleaning products? Miss Sandra Westall, Extension housing specialist at Purdue university, has a suggestion. “Buy your cleaning products in another section of the grocery,” the specialist says. “Baking soda, household ammonia and vinegar can be used for many household cleaning purposes. They can help you avoid buying expensive specialty cleaners such as window and oven cleaners.” Baking soda, she says, can be used to clean glass, wall tile, porcelain and enamel. When it is mixed with water, baking soda will remove coffee and tea stains from china and plastic cups and clean the inside of the refrigerator. The specialist also suggests leaving an open box of baking soda in the back of the refrigerator to act as a deodorizer. And baking soda in its dry powder form can remove greasy food particles from the surface of ranges and pans without scratching. “However,” Miss Westall is quick to add, “don’t clean aluminum with baking soda.

New flower varieties WEST LAFAYETTE — Hardly a year goes by without seed companies introducing a number of new flower varieties. This year will be no exception. So if you delight in growing something new, better place your seed orders immediately. A delay may find supplies of the new varieties depleted. John A. Wott, Purdue university extension home environment horticulturist, calls attention to a few of the new ones. For instance: George J. Ball Company has four new types of petunias. Red Baron, earlier and brighter red than the popular Red Cascade, is free flowering and snaps back fast after a rain. Penny Candy sports an excellent striped bicolor pattern of equal parts red and white. Dancing Lady is a 33 l z inch bicolored crimson and white flower of uniform color pattern and compact habit. Royal Cascade is deep velvety purple with large blooms and a free flowerirg habit. Among those offered by Burpee is the Totem Pole aster — largest aster ever developed. Some blossoms extend to seven inches across. Each plant has 8-10 strong sturdy stems holding flowers in a bouquet-like effect. This flower grows to a height of two feet. Other new Burpee releases include calendula Golden Gem, Dwarf Border Rose aster, new dwarf French marigold, Fiery Red, Odorless marigolds (mixed

Silver Lake — Michael Howard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Howard of r 2. Michael is a freshman at the college and is a graduate of Warsaw high school. He is majoring in science.

Soda will darken aluminum surfaces.” How much does all this cleaning power cost? It’s available for less than a penny a tablespoon! And for about the same price you can buy a stronger cleaning agent — household ammonia. “Full strength ammonia is strong enough to use. as an oven cleaner,” the specialist notes. “If a half cup of ammonia is set in the oven overnight, baked-on grease will be easy to remove the next morning,” she explains. “Just be sure to cover the oven vent so that the necessary fumes will remain in the oven.” Diluted in water with detergent, ammonia can be used for an all-purpose cleaner that is particularly good at cutting grease. “However, ammonia can soften some of the older types of paint on walls and woodwork, so be careful not to use too much ammonia,” Miss Westall advises. When diluted in plain water, ammonia can clean range burners, windows and mirrors. “Try filling an empty spray bottle with ammonia and water to make this type of cleaning easier,” she continues. Another less-than-a-penny-a-tablespoon cleaner is vinegar. It will help remove hard water deposits from glassware, brighten darkened aluminum pans and clean windows. “And,” Miss Westall adds, “a small bowl < of vinegar left on the refrigerator shelf for a few days will act as a deodorizer.”

colors) and marigold Opryland. The George W. Park Seed Company is introducing seven new flowers. Among these are marigold Honey Moon, a clear yellow dwarf crested-type; Hollyhock Althea zebrina; a new hybrid Dian thus Orchid Lace that is heat and disease resistant and tolerant to inclement weather; the heavy textured, sweetscented Maxi Plum petunia; a new dwarf gloriosa daisy for mass bedding and Sparmannia africana, a plant that responds to light shade. Pan American Seed Company’s Carefree Coleus is another 1973 introduction. Compact, selfbranching novelty, coleus features eight bright, lively colors, all with new distinctive oak-leaf edge. Nasturtium lovers will thrill to Waller Flowerseed Company’s Whirlybird nasturtium —a spurless dwarf that becomes a mass of fiery red blossoms held well above foliage. These are only a few of many new varieties noted in seed catalogues, says Wott, and no discrimination is intended or endorsement implied by the Cooperative Extension Service. RYAN SMITH GUEST OF HONOR Mr. and Mrs. Ronn Smith of Milford entertained Sunday for their son, Ryan, who celebrated his 2d birthday. Others present were Angie, sister of Ryan, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Biller and Blane, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith and Allen Brunjes, all of Milford, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Smith and Hudson McCuen, all of Nappanee, and Miss Cheryl Overholser of Fort Wayne.

encourage at least one of the young Nicaraguans to pursue the study of medicine and maybe become a missionary doctor for his own people. The earthquake which hit Managua, Nicaragua, on December 23 destroyed most of the school system in that capital city and has brought education almost to a halt there, according to Fr. Charles Kunkel, director of admissions for Wawasee Prep. Father Kunkel said that his school hopes to bring at least 10 to 20 Managuans to Wawasee. An Indianapolis foundation initiated the Nicaraguan Student Relief Fund with a $3,000 grant to Wawasee Prep. Other individuals have contributed smaller amounts, totaling $125. Prep is still hoping that other corporations, foundations, or individuals will come forward with $15,000 so that the school can do its part to help the young earthquake victims.
