MARY JOY HOUGH Hints front HELOISE Dear Heloise: Every woman has to approach the housework problem in her own way, I suppose, but this method has been working sowellforme.Iwantedto share it with you. It's the "Hour-a-Day," plan. One hour out of 24, six or seven days a week doesn't seem too much for a reasonably clean and well-ordered house. In an hour, I can quickly vacuum the kitchen, hall and most of the family room- places that need it every day- plus have enough time for general pick-up and a more thorough attack on another room that doesn't require daily attention.

There is then time for extras such as window-washing or special bathroom cleanup, It even allows a day off once in a while without everything coming apart at the seams. The hour can come in mom- ing or afternoon, or be divided, but the prospect of ap-, proximately an hour's cleaning doesn't demoralize me before I begin, the way contemplating hours of it does. Mrs.J.UT. Dear Heloise: A pinch of baking soda (not baking powder) will give brewed tea a dark appearance--making it appear strong for the man who complains the tea "looks like it swam the river." Just Me Dear Heloise: I just completed a touch-up paint Job with latex paint and a small paint roller. I found another use for the white plastic meat trays! By placing a small one inside a larger one, I had a roller (paint) pan that worked beautifully as the bottom of the tray wae corrugated and by rolling back and forth, it handled the drips.

Katherine Calaba Dear Heloise: Have you ever made popcorn and find you need a gigantic bowl to add the salt and butter? Just pour the popcorn right out of the popper into a large grocery bag--add butter and salt--hold the top of the bag together and shake well. Then pour into individual bowls. Our children love this method and can refill the bowls themselves with no spills. L.J.N. Dear Heloise: Here is a helpful hint to mothers who are called on to make jelly sandwiches.

Instead of spreading the bread with butter, take the jelly and butter and mash them together with a fork, then put the mixture on the bread and your sandwiches won't slide. Also the jelly can be mixed this way with peanut butter and you have a firm sandwich that can be cut in shapes without slipping. Lisa Dear Heloise: My 2-year-old hurt her finger, but would not keep an adhesive bandage on the cut. I absent-mindedly grabbed a pen and put a happy face (eyes, nose, mouth) on the bandage. I told her the finger was laughing because it felt better now.

After that, she'd make sure the bandage stayed on. Mrs. R. Jeffords THIS COLUMN Kwriltcn tor the heuuwifc tod homenuktr. If you hint or probttm writo to HtloiM In of to'ii rMwipapcr.

Her book "The Priceless Pearl" an account of the responsibilities of her late husband as appointed Leader, Protector and Promoter of the divinely-revealed world religion. "The Prescription for Living" is her other book, which deals with such Baha'i principles as: knowing our true selves; harmonizing our dual nature of body and soul; the latest blueprint from God for attaining happiness; our preparation for death, and the life after; work when performed in the spirit of service is worship; the meanings behind sorrow and trial; the latest Manifestations of God, the Bab and a a a and the significance of their teachings for the current needs of mankind. Baha'is believe that we are presently witnessing "the timeof the end" and that the choatic convulsions of the world are the embodiment of an overturned and dying world order, and the birth pangs of a new world order which will be established upon the Baha'i Principles of: a federated and supreme world government, the equality of opportunity of men and women, the abolition of all prejudices, a universal auxiliary language, a universal system of weights and measures, a universal monetary system, compulsory education, abolition of extremes of idle rich and indigent poor, work for all, the agreement of science and religion, the power of prayer and positive thinking.

At the close of World Wai II the National Council of State Garden Clubs composedof some 400,000 members, was seeking some means of honoring service men and women.

It was igreed that as garden clubs it would be better to help beautify and preserve the country men had fought for, rather than build stone monuments. New Jersey garden clubs had just finished beautifying a section of the New Jersey highway as a war i a i i conjunction with New Jersey Highway Commissioner Spencer Miller when Mrs. Miller, a guest speaker at the annual National Convention in 1945, suggested be projected on a nationwide basis. This was the kind of project National Council of State Garden Clubs had been looking for. The Blue Star Memorial Highway takes its name from the blue star in the service flag.

These markers are a living memorial to "All who have served or will serve in tlw nation's armed The project was organized as a demonstration of Roadside beautification to show what could be accomplished through united strength as a protest against billboards, to educate the public to higher sttndards of roadside development, and to determine how national council could best work with the civil a i i a achievement. Using the New Jersey project is model, the national council made astudy of the inter-regional highways of the United SUtes.

(Staff photo) Overprotection may harm young QUOTABLE WOMEN NEW YORK (AP) What are the biggest medical problems facing kids this summer? Insect bites, cuts, sunburn, diarrhea and allergies rank highest on the list.

Yet colds, and' the chance of catching pneumonia and other illnesses can also be a problem. Surprisingly, tension is an important problem with the young as well as their parents. "Too many parents over-protect their children with unnec- essary medicines and lotions, while others show too little concern," says Dr. Fredric Snyder, general pediatrician. He suggests several medical tips for parents with small children.

"Diarrhea is probably one of the most prevalent disorders among kids during the summer," Dr. Snyder says. "The problem is often caused by viral infection, food or just the of traveling. "The best remedy is letting the illness run its course, while Piano training session scheduled in Anchorage A special three-day training session for piano teachers will be held in Anchorage, August 21-23. The session, which is sponsored a i a Piano Foundation, will be held at the Music Stores, 5th and Streets, Anchorage, and will be conducted by Gloria Burnett, a a i a Piano Foundation clinician from Seattle, Wash.

Mrs. Burnett is one of more than 130 clinicians in the United States and Canada who have been appointed by the Foundation because of personal expertise in teaching contemporary group piano, a modem approach to teaching children music through peer learning in small group settings. The seminar is open to all piano teachers, regardless of their familiarity with contemporary group piano. Tuition for the seminar is $30, and the deadline for registration is Aug. 15.

Teachers may ensure their registration by sending a $10 check, 'payable to Gloria Burnett, to Dick Caldwell, Music Store, Fifth and Streets, A a Alaska 95501, no later than August 15. The remainder of the fee may be paid at the opening session of the seminar, which will begin at 9 a.m.Tuesday, August 21. giving the child clear fluids to prevent dehydration and eliminating milk and fruit from the tot's diet. Kaopectate won't cure him, but will give symptomatic relief." He says tension is another problem, Children need some way to release their emotions. "Clay is good because they can pound the material into a shape.

Another release is water. For example, one way to relax a tot before he goes to bed is with a lukewarm bubble bath. Put in a few tub toys and let him splash. "A word about bubble baths. Be sure to use the correct amount and never leave the box or plastic bottle near the tub.

Kids have a tendency to add more bubble bath mixture as the suds disappear. That's not good," Dr. Snyder said. "Insect bites also plague kids at this time of year, but putting a lot of cream on tots to prevent bites really isn't that good for them. "It's best to dress the child in long sleeves and pants.

Then treat any bite with calamine it free from infection and covered so the child won't rub or scratch the area." Dr. Snyder feels sunburn needn't be a problem if the child is initially exposed to the sun for short periods of time each day while wearing loose clothing. That way he builds up his tolerance. "Always make sure the child gets plenty at liquids while in the sun. so he won't become dehydrated," Dr.

Snyder suggests, "and remember suntan lotions really don't work that well, except for zinc oxide which blocks out the ultra-violet rays." As a precautionary measure, Dr. Snyder recommends up-to- date inoculations. For example, at two, three and four months the child should be having his DPT booster, and follwed at 12 with a DT. "If a child's tetanus boosters are up-to-date, there is no reason to get a tetanus shot for a minor injury or cut," he says. "I really think we're guilty of over-giving tetanus shots in the U.S.

"Still another summer problem for kids is allergies, and yet parents have a tendency to over treat those illnesses, too. Oftentimes, a parent mistakes post-nasal drip which causes a child to cough a good deal in the morning, with something more serious."

want to borrow a hampster LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. (AP) Children who want to try out a pet for a short time can borrow one for a week from a library here. All it takes is a library card to check out a rabbit, chameleon, guinea pig, hamster, turtle or rat. In all, there are 20 pets available for loan, kept in little cages in the children's section of the Los Alamitos Rossmoor Library. "We've got a wailing list of 26 for our rabbit, Honey Bunny, and most of the animals are out most of the time," says Joyce Keams, children's section director.

Mrs. Kearns decided last spring to feature for summer reading. Hearing of a similar lending program in Erie, she contacted the principal of a nearby elementary school in the Orange County community and got permission to keep the school's animals at the library during the summer. Preschool and elementary school children are allowed to check out animals, taking them home in their library cages. At home they're allowed lo take them out and pet them all they want.

The bride's dress was a floor length empire waist style gown of beige and green. The gown featured three-quarter length sleeves and a scoop neckling. Her headpiece was of beige lace with a satin boV covering the crown. She carried a bouquet of white gardenias. Both the headpiece and flowers were made by Mrs.
