Home Hints
When spray painting the ex
terior of your house to prevent
sagging with heavily pigment
ed paints, adjust pressure to
assure a thin uniform coat.
Stir the paint frequently dur
ing spraying—especially if you
turn the gun off for more than
five minutes. Spray from a
scaffolding for high areas. Lad
ders are clumsy for spraying
and limit reach, causing un
even distribution.
Eggs are one of nature’s
most nutritious packaged
foods.

POLW’S POINIERS
Cucumber Peelings
DEAR POLLY — It has been
so cool and damp in our cabin
this year that the ants have
been more troublesome than
ever. I am allergic to many in
secticides, so a friend told me
to place thin peelings from cu
cumbers in the cupboards and
around areas where the ants
might come in. I was skeptical
but willing to try anything to
keep from having to use sprays
and powders. It worked. No
more having to wash dishes be
fore meals as the ants just fad
ed away. — OLIVE
GIRLS — That Is a cure
that has been around for a long
time as I remember seeing my
grandmother do it. — POLLY
DEAR POLLY — To stop the
noise of squeaky bed springs I
bought some sponge rubber, cut
It into strips about three by six
inches and laid them, at inter
vals, between the springs and
the frame sides. — C.P.
DEAR POLLY — Fern should
get out her oil can and oil every
part of that squeaky bed that
touches another part, even the
casters. I had this trouble after
buying such a bed 12 years ago.
Since oiling it the squeaks have
never returned. — RUBY
DEAR POLLY — Do any of
you have any suggestions for
removing a burn mark from a
white laminated plastic table
top? — MARIE
DEAR POLLY — To keep my
paid bills in order, I keep a
loose-leaf notebook and use in
dex tabs. They are marked
Rent, Gas and Electric, Tele
phone, Doctor, Dentist, Car,
Maintenance (guarantees, etc.)
and Miscellaneous. Os course,
they might vary some with dif
ferent families. Each month
the paid bills are pasted in the
book, which lasts for about three
years. I can easily find any re
ceipted bill in a few minutes,
even as far back as 20 years.
This has been a real help as to
past appointments, work done
on the house or car and just
keeping order. — LILLIAN
