DEAR POLLY My Pointer is for those who like the fresh smell of clothes that have been line dried in the sun but hate the wrinkles and stiffness that often occur. I have found that if the clothes are put in the dryer for a few minutes just long enough to take out the wrinkles and then hung outside they will dry soft, without wrinkles, and still have the smell of sunshine and fresh air. This even works well with blue jeans that normally dry stiff as a board. MAGGIE. DEAR POLLY Mrs.

MOSCOW (AP) The United States has had its best year in the sixth Tchaikovsky musical competition, winning one of the four first prizes and sharing in another. Elmar Oliveira, 28, of Binghamton, N.Y., and a Soviet player, Ilya Gru-bert, were each awarded gold medals early today as co-winners of the violin competition. "I feel great," Oliveira told reporters. "I didn't think about winning. I only thought about playing well.

I was very satisfied with my overall per-formance throughout the competition." The other American gold medalist was Nathaniel Rosen, first cellist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, who was named on Tuesday. Their success gives the United States one gold medal in each of the four categories of the Tchaikovsky competition since it started in 1958. Violinist Elmar Olivera 'LoOKATHIS227-GO!

I have tried pulling it apart but do not get very far before it twists into knots. I hope someone can recommend some method or a machine that can do this job.

JEAN. DEAR JEAN Doubtless the yarn was not made to be divided and is Just for knitting. All yarn I have separated to use for needlepoint, etc. has been three ply. How about this, readers? Have any of you had any luck separating four-ply yarn? POLLY.

DEAR POLLY The children will eat twice as much hot cereal if you put vanilla ice cream in it instead of milk and sugar. Use a rubber band to hold a cloth around your furniture polish can, etc. and replace with a clean cloth when needed. There will be no more looking for a cleaning cloth. We buy windshield cleaner by the gallon, fill spray containers with it and keep one in the kitchen and one in each bathroom.

The shine and the savings are both great. When relaxing and doing hand sewing in the living room I put needles, pins, scissors and whatever in one container. When the phone rings I just have to grab one container and the phone so there is nothing for little fingers to get Student Shines Despite Having WEST BRANCH, Mich. (AP) -Mike Nofsinger is batting .409, is an all-around heads-up player and has great defensive ability. He is also a sophomore at Ogemaw Heights High School and he has earned a starting job in the outfield of the varsity baseball team in spite of having only one arm.

Mike was born without the lower part of his right arm, but his left arm is intact. And that is all Mike has needed. "He is our top outfielder right now," said Coach Jim Tuttle, adding that Mike has great baseball sense and gets a good jump on the ball. limits and that the figure could go much higher once farms were surveyed. Seven people were injured.

Much of the destruction occured in a trailer court a quarter mile northwest of the downtown area. Larry Oak, a tenant in the court, said "fate" prevented his trailer from being destroyed when a neighboring unit slammed into it. "I don't know why some of the trailers moved and some didn't," he said. "I don't think our trailer was supposed to move. I don't know why I say that, but I just feel it.

I thank God that we didn't get hurt. "Luckily no one was in the trailer next door when it hit us," he continued. "If there had been they would have been killed." on Varsity Arm Handicap "Mike has a tremendous attitude and I wish I had a whole team of his type," the coach said. Mike was recently brought up from the junior varsity, where he hit .409 and stole 13 bases. He wears a glove on his left hand.

After he makes a catch, he sticks the glove under his stub arm and pulls the ball out cleanly before getting off a throw. At bat, Mike is the team's top bunter and almost always makes contact with the ball. He is primarily a line drive singles hitter. Mike plans to go onto college but if he continues to play as he has, professional baseball might be in his future. 'Buck Rogers' Star Chucked Career as Executive FOSSTON, Minn.

(AP) Residents of the tiny northwestern Minnesota town of Fosston felt they were lucky, very lucky, that no one was killed when a tornado ripped through the community early Wednesday morning. "In recent years tornadoes have touched down at Climax and Euclid (nearby towns) and people have been killed," said Civil Defense Director LyleEisert. "This is the worst tornado I've seen in many years for destroyed builings. It was just luck that no one was killed in Fosston," he added. The Polk County Board met Thursday and passed a resolution asking Gov.

Rudy Perpich for $1.5 million in disaster assistance. Eisert said the damage estimage included only damage done to buildings within the city on "Baretta," "Hawaii Five-O," and "Little House on the Prairie." He said none of the four pilots became series, but one, "Killing Stone," led to his new Buck Rogers project for NBC. That 25th century caper will air as a six-hour miniseries later this season, says NBC, which also has another Buster Crabbe oldie, "Flash Gordon," being remade for the 1979-80 season. Gerard isn't worried that if his show hits he'll get typecast.

York. There, he drove a cab by night and studied acting by day at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, his tutor Philip Burton, stepfather of Richard Burton. In 1970 he got his first paying job, an Old Milwaukee Beer commercial. Not high art, but it paid the rent and led to more commercials and 2'k years in an NBC soap opera, "The Doctors." He left that series, he says, "because I felt I'd learned all I could there and I didn't want to get stuck in that security rut. I wanted the top, and the only way I could do it was to let go of that security and move on." He said the letting-go was aided by producer Bernie Kowalski, who hired him to come to Hollywood where he now lives to test for a part in a TV pilot that never made it to series status.

He then returned to Fun City to star in "Hooch," a low-budget film about moonshiners. Produced by a company he formed in 1975, the movie currently is playing in the South, Gerard said.

"Because the name of the game in this business is a power base." He meant a hit show gives an actor considerable clout in lining up other projects.

Not Gil Gerard, star of an NBC version of the famed 1939 "Buck Rogers" space serial that starred Buster Crabbe. He's only been acting nine years. To do it, he chucked a career as a chemical company executive in his native Little Rock, at the fairly advanced age of 26. The reason for the chucking, Gerard says, is that while he was succeeding in business, he felt his life was empty, that there should be more to it than chemical and memos. "At about the same time, I heard Peggy Lee's 'Is That All There and it really hit home," he grinned.

"So I started thinking about what I'd enjoyed most when I was younger. It proved to be the memories of the amateur acting he'd done in elementary, high school and college plays. So he decided to quit business and give emoting a whirl. He says the whirl began in New She's One of Few WAKE FOREST, N.C. (AP) An ordained Southern Baptist woman, the Rev.
