When you prepare lemon, lime or orange rind, use the grater lightly, so you include only the outermost colored part of the rind; then the grated rind won't be bitter, Ruth Millett Fast -Moving Program Is Answer to Restless Audience READER writes: "So many times we read in the paper and in books and magazines about how a chairman in an organization should conduct a meeting, but I have never read anywhere about how those attending the meeting should act or behave.

"It is very annoying to the chairman when there is talking, obvious lack of attention by neck members, etc, Could you write something about this?" It does need to be written, because women in groups are often hard to control, Mrs. thinks of something she just has to whisper to Mrs. B. on her right. And Mrs.

A. is more interested in looking around to see who is wearing what than in listening to what is being, said from the floor. SET A TIME LIMIT But there is this to say in detense of the restless club women. What they are expected to listen Fanciers of fun are advised to run, not walk, to Summer Theater Guild in Fisher Auditorium at the College In Indiana tomorrow In order to secure best Incations for! the Guild's presentation of "'See How They Run," which will open tonight and continue for tour performances thru Saturday, July 31, This farce-comedy hit by Philip King which convulsed London audlences for over a year comes to Indiana prior to Its New York production. "See How They Run" is appropriately named, since Its characters rush across the stage at about sixty miles an hour, and in and out of the doors and windows in the set, in the furlously frantic tradition of amiable tarce-comedies.

The fast-stepping fun in "Seel How They Run" Is set in the carage at Merton -Cum-Middle-er wick, a small village in England. Putting their best legs foremost this laugh romp are an Elglish car named Toop, the American actress he married, a GI who acted with her before she became Mrs. Toops, a staid bishop, an How They Run' Will Open Tonight caped prisoner, and an old maid who drinks not wisely but too much. The play's howl-provoking complications rise from the attempts of the GI and the vicar's wife to keep secret a date, albeit harmless, which they have one evening. The GI adopts the guise of a clergyman, and trumps up some fabulous stories, But the ruse backfires and four other men in clergyman's suits add to the comic confusion at the vicarage.

Leading roles in the Summer Theater Guild's presentation of "See How They Run" will be acted by Marion Bankert, Robert Tinklepaugh, Marian McCurdy, Barbara Martin, Robert Telford, Joe Sas. WAY, Ed Krisak, Tom Reese, and Don Roberts. Robert Ensley is director. Ed Telchert has charge of the technical direction. Family Dinner Held In Dishong Home A dinner was held at the home of Mrs.

by setting a time limit on how long anyone can talk, and by urging members to make reports as brief as possible. So the chairman's main job is to speed things up, give. as little encouragement as possible to longwinded bores, and make the meetings so entertaining or 80 informative that "The girls" want to! listen.

Care of Blankets Gives Longer Life Proper care of woolen blankets not only keeps them soft and love. ly but makes them last longer, Miss Ellen K. Garber, extension home economist, Indiana County, points out that whether blankets are all wool, man-made fiber, or a blend, these points on care can be applied to all. Blankets need to be aired often, Before storing they should have been cleaned and thoroughly air. ed.

To wash blankets, remove stains, Then put one blanket at time in a tub full of lukewarm water and a syndet (synthetic detergent) recommended for wool, For best results, soak out dirt, Agitation or rubbing makes wool fibers shrink and mat. Then move water, Spin dry or press and squeeze, never twist. Put through wringer by tolding blanket lengthwise. Rolls are at loose tension. Rinse blankets two three times.

Hang blankets in shade to dry, A wool blanket can be stretched and brushed to original size nd shape while it dries. While blankets of man-made tibers aren't damaged by moths, clean wool blankets must be stored where moths can't get to them, Store in sealed plastic or brown paper bags..
