Home Hints
Rinse cookware or soak it as
you prepare to serve each meal.
Food which has hardened is
much more difficult to remove.
After soaking, use a vegetable
brush or plastic scrubber to re
move cooked-on food. Loosen
burned-on foods by soaking with
detergent and water.

V?/ Dial and Escape Loneliness
Jh ByBETTYCANARY
All a mother has to do in order to be
elbow-deep in people is pick up the tele
phone. Everybody knows that little kids who
have been engrossed with paper dolls and
Tinkertoys drop everything in order to nag
for cookies the moment mother reaches for
that dial.
Babies awaken from naps and teen-agers
who have been unavailable for hours appear
immediately and demand the line. If fathers
are at home, they also appear, usually to
stand mutely holding an empty coffee cup
or dangling an undarned sock. Sometimes
they choose this time to bang and rummage
through kitchen drawers, looking for that
old bottle opener that came with their Army
mess kit. It only stands to reason that, after
16 years, they need it RIGHT NOW.
Obviously, the reason for all this is that
everybody thinks mother has abandoned
them for the outside world. She has cut
them out and wants a minute alone. Unfor
tunately, they do not seem to have this left
but feeling when she wants to be alone,
scouring the bathroom or heaving those big
boxes in the basement.
Naturally, I have lots of telephone experi
ence, what with being on committees and
pleading with repairmen, not to mention
those times when it has been necessary to
call up and say, “My Lord, Grace! I just
have to talk with someone over the age of
five!”
And, while I cannot say I have made a
real study of The Telephone Syndrome as it

SCHOOL SYSTEM
affects children and mothers, I have done
some thinking along the way, so perhaps I
have some tips for you.
First of all, forget chaining them all to
bedposts. Also, forget about pretending you
are really calling the reformatory and ar
ranging to have everybody picked up in 15
minutes. That only works once or twice and
what we are trying for here is constructive
thinking.
How about turning the telephone into a
weapon? I mean, save your vocal cords or
throw away the whistle or bell you use to
try to get everybody to come for dinner and
just sneak the receiver off the hook, thereby
attracting everybody into the kitchen in rec
ord time.
No, the bad thing about this is, kids catch
on fast and soon you’ll be spending all your
time on the phone, calling friends and ask
ing for them to send Johnny home, and this
would cut down on your personal calls.
You can wait until going to the market
and make your calls from a public booth.
Or, you might consider going to a neighbor’s
house to make calls while she makes calls
from your house.
I’m going to level with you. I have heard
mothers promise families everything from a
box of raisins to all-out war and nothing
works. My conclusion is that the song, “All
I Do Is Dream of You.” was really composed
by a woman who wanted a little privacy on
the phone.

/s POLLY’S POINTERS
jeS/ Breakfront
lw
DEAR POLLY — Mrs. L.
wanted to know how to clean the
glass doors on her breakfront
that are covered with filigree
work. She could carefully re
move the tiny strips of wood on
the inside that hold the glass ag
ainst the filigree. Since the ed
ges and comers of the glass are
sharp, do be careful not to cut
your hands or scratch the break
front. Clean the glass on both
sides and carefully replace,
then re-apply the wood, strips.
Usually the small nails can be
placed in the old holes and be ■
easily pushed in again. I leave j
the head of each nail sticking
out a tiny bit so I can catch it
with the pliers to pull it out the
next time the glass is to be cl
eaned. — GLADYC
DEAR GIRLS — Os course, all
breakfronts may not have the
glass put in this same way. Some
have a wood filigree design ap
plied to the front of the glass and
the glass is fastened in per
manently. In such cases, the
wood openwork might be remov
ed in one piece and then re
installed, but this would have to
be done very, very carefully.
I think, if such a piece belong-:
ed to me, I would put some glass :
cleaner on a stick with a piece
of cloth on the end and rub this
into the many holes, then dry
and shine the same way.—POL
