Polly's Pointers Cleans Tj-pewrlter Keys By POLLY CRAMER, Xewspaper Enterprise Assn. DEAR idea is very effective and probably will appeal to those housewives who a so are typists. When you want to clean your typewriter keys in a hurry, roll a facial tissue instead of a sheet of paper in the typewriter. Strike each key two or three times (of course, wihtout the ribbon).

It is surprising to see the amount of carbon left on the tissue. liked this one. Hope you VOVLY DEAR berry boxes make delightful doll furniture. One basket will make a table by cutting away all the sides and leaving the corners for legs. For a top, glue on a piece of cardboard larger than the basket top.

For a chair, cut three pieces, using the sides and bottom of a box. Cut one piece for back and seat, one for seat and front legs and one for seat and back legs. Lace or glue together tlie three seat pieces. You.can upholster the top of this or use bright yarn to make a cane- Jike seat. Chair seats should be half the height of the table.

A bed requires two boxes. Cut away two sides and leave one for the headboard. For foot of bed, cut opposite side to half the height. Cut the sec ond box to half the height, leaving one half of two opposite sides for legs. Fasten bottoms of boxes with string, tape or glue.

Add mattress and spread made from scraps in your sewing box. A couch takes one box. Cut in the center. Cut one of the halves to half height for legs and lace or glue seats together. Can be upholstered, if desired.

When you get your scissors and boxes together, your imagination carry you on and on. SOCIETY Indim CMdes, PrinoesV tMeeting The first Y. M. C. A.

There is plenty of time to assemble enough boxes and what a funny way to spend a lew winter DEAR your dustpan doesn't get up that last bit of dust or dirt, u.se a postal card, (a canceled one. of course) instead. Use a small paint brush to sweep.

The results are DEAR catch a mythical, mystical dollar for my good wife to buy another plant, I will tell you how she uses my old shaving brush. She dampens it to remove dust from house plants and says it is so gentle that no harm is done to the tenderest of foliage. I've received a pamphlet re- Iminding me that November 1-7 is again being set aside as National Cat Week. With the reminder, I've also received an official invitation to join the American Feline Society And, in case I'm seriously interested in the activities of the organization, I can get what is termed a "CAT KIT" with full details about the Society's work especially in the field of stray cats. Considering how many of the creatures stray from that field into my back yard, I'm just a bit intrigued and ciu-ious to know just how much I could really learn from the information offered Come to think of it, I believe I could produce a cat kit all my own based, of course, on several years spent trying to figure out a way to discourage the straying cats without resulting to dire measures And I have no intention of tieing dire where they are concerned because the attitude of stray cats is so disarming They are always so friendly and seem to know at first glance that Tm a cinch for a saucer of warm milk In case of inclement weather, I've also been known to rig up a snug box in the garage.

So much for the strays. I've also had other experiences and right now I'm remembering the time I inherited a pedigreed Persian cat He bore the grand title "GOLDEN VELVET" and what a beautiful creature he was, too The only thing wrong the setup was this: I DIDN'T WANT HIM And the only reason he was mine for two endle.ss days and nights was because an elderly to California to live with who wouldn't permit her to bring him along decided he would be the perfect goodbye present from her to me. It came as something of a shock, lei me say, when she da.shed in bearing a formula for his rood, a wire for his outfloor sunning, a sandbox, and a large sack of e.xtra fine sand The sand wa.s especially important, she explained, because he had sensitive paws Tlien, fondly stroking his luxuriant coat, she warned me against trying a substitute She did that just one time That was when she learned that a lot of special sand could be bought for what it took to remove evidence of his retaliation. Frankly, I was too amazed to speak because, until that moment, I'd always associated a sandbox with the bright faces, happy laughter, and busy endeavor of children Natiu'- ally, the next forty-eight hours held many surprises for me. Lucky for me, there was a cat fancier living down the block and she was over-joyed when I rang her doorbell and made her a furry gift.

As I said before, my experience with strays has been more extensive There was the time when, as I've written before. I found a tiny kitten shivering on my doorstep one bleak November morning I recall that, when I started writing about him, his fan mail started coming Then, when he was absent for two Jong weeks, a mention of it in this column brought sympathetic telephone calls These were followed by calls of congratu- finally carne home. Where had he been? I'll always think he attended a cat convention at which he ran for president And, badly as he was clawed from head to tail- tip, I'm positive he was defeated But, I'm also certain that he really made a good campaign fight of it At any rate, there were few dull moments during the four years he spent with me And, remembering him, I can only hope that, in departing the earthly scene, he went to a feline fairyland where the fences are tall the moon is always bright And cat elections are run in a more orderly manner. At present, I've been adopted by solid black specimen with just two apparent reasons for hanging around inside my fenced back yard He knows where various bits of goodies are left for his convenience And he can assume a lofty air of disdain when the loud-mouthed dogs stick their noses through the pickets and bark all kinds of futile threats in his direction. All things considered, I don't think I need to set one week aside as National Cat not with fifty-one other weeks being observed in the same manner.

DEAR ABBY: While I was in 'he living room reading the news- naper, a TV repairman was in the same room worldng on our He had talcen the set apart ind there were parts all over the floor. My wife pranced into the with her dress hanging open in the baclf.

She went itraight to this TV repairman and -vslted him if he would mind zip- img her up. His hands were 1u-ty, so he just wiped them on a and zipped her up. After he I said to my wife, "Why did, ou asit that repairman to do I could have done that for She replied, "Your eyes aren't very good and you can lever get that little hook at the op." I told her it would have )een better had she forgotten "that little hook at the top" if she had to ask a strange man to help her get dressed. She says I am making a mountain out of molehill. I would like your opinion.

HER HUSBAND DEAR HUSBAND: Your wife was behaving like a bit of an exhibitionist on the wrong end of the picture tube. But don't brood about it. Had she been trying to make points with the stranger she wouldn't have done it in your presence. Get a magnifying glass and magnify Uttle hook at the fop" instead of the incident. DEAR ABBY: So out of the 556 couples that minister married in one year, 354 asked him to "alter" the dates on their wedding certificates? Have I ever lived a sheltered life! In over 22 years of performing hundreds of marriage cei-emonies, I have never had even one such request.

Maybe they knew I would not have falsified a legal document for my own mother. Or perhaps it's just the difference between the Califomians who marry at home, and those who go to such places as Nevada to tie the knot. Yours, Arnold R. Lewis, Th. D.
