1968 Hospital Report Hows, Hints From Heloise HELOISE: What would you do if you absolutely hated to run your own wasning' machine, but didn't mind ironing tons of clothes yet you could not to have it done? I don't mind ironing all day but, oh, when I see that washing machine staring back at my face, I nearly go mad Mother Honey chile, you probably won't believe this but you might if you'll take a deep breath and try it some day. When you are talking with your neighbors or kinsfolk, tell them how you feel about washing! They'll a come right back and say real quick, "And I despise ironing'." 1 Right THEN is the time to say, "Well, you bring your laundry over to my house some morning and I'll do all of your ironing while you do my washing. How about that? This actually did work between two neighbors I lived next door to once, and myself. Not only that, but they brought their kids along, their peanut butter sandwiches and their own jar of instant coffee. It got to where the three of us enjoyed laundry day.

While the washing machine was going, I sewed on the ripped off buttons. Then it got down to where each of us brought our own package of 1 hamburger and we cooked spaghetti sauce all day and divided it in thirds. Litter on, we met at each others homes every i week. That was a relief, too, I to get out of our own homes. Once I took my portaole sewing machine and mended all of their clothes while they did both my washing and iron- ing.

They didn't even know how to sew or take up hems, nor did they own a sewing machine Once when I got all of their sewing caught up, I even made kitchen curtains and slipcovered a chair for one favorite gal. She couldn't afford to have the slipcover or the curtains made. We were both quite satisfied and saved money. Love is where you find it, gals, and it's even greater yet if you can share it. So pack up your troubles in your old laundry bag and when you find a good friend like this, take your iron and clothes over to her house.

All of you will learn to get that laundry done In short order. Heloise DEAR HELOISE: After buying a new carpet recently and counting up the staggering number of carpet savers I would need under the furniture you can imagine my delight when I discovered that the lids on my son's baby food jars would work just as well as the metal carpet savers. They made perfect stabilizers for his crib and playpen as well. Pat Slaughter LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: How come manufacturers can make a black bathing suit color-fast, but it seems like everything- else that's black-from kiddies' leotards and my nightgowns and slips--fades with each washing Disgusted Kansas DEAR HELOISE: 5Toung mothers who have trouble with their little ones when they are first left with a new play-school or Sunday School--should try the handkerchief trick favored by the experienced. First, explain that mommy will be back after a little while.

Then give the suspicious small person something of yours--a glove, clean handkerchief or anything else that will smell and look familiar. Ask him to take care of it until you come back to get him and the handkerchief. This treatment usually subdues habitual howlers. Apparently the comforting, familiar odor and the double assurance of mommy's return tides him over his first sense of loss. Margaret Becker DEAR HELOISE: When you are sewing, wear a twine ring-knife (bought at a stationery or office supply store) on the little finger of the right hand.

It's terrific for cutting threads as it saves reaching for the scissors after each row of stitching. Barbara J. Dr. Kjomarele Gives. Biology Lecture VALPARAISO Okaloosa Walton Jr College will presentDr Edwin V.
