It is possible both to protect

A primary problem with
older furniture is the damage
to the wood and glues caused
by insufficient moisture in a
room’s atmosphere. Lack of
moisture is among wood fur

humidity causes swelling and
warping of older wood fur
niture.
To maintain a proper bal
ance of moisture in a home
with fine wood furniture it
may be necessary to use a
humidifier or revert to the old
technique of placing pans of
water around during the heat
ing season.
In addition to adding
moisture to a room’s atmos
phere, immediate care of
small accidents to furniture
surfaces helps relieve a home
maker’s worry over long
range damage that results
from a burn, alcohol ring,
candle wax drips or water
stains.
A home repair expert,
Nancy King (Devcon Corp.),
suggests quick RXs for super
ficial damage:
• For water spots—Apply
heat and moisture by placing
a warm iron over a damp
blotter on the area. Use brief
applications and repeat until
spot is gone. An alternate is
to rub the spot gently with
fine steel wool and then rewax
surface.
• Alcohol spots—Rub area
with finger dipped in paste
wax, boiled linseed oil or
silver polish. If deeper treat
ment is necessary, rub with
rottenstone.
• Loose pegs or screws—
Remove. Put plastic steel in
hole and replace peg or screw
for more permanent repair. I

Home Hints
Clean Drip Pans
Drip pans should be re
moved often from kitchen
ranges and immersed in a
sink full of hot soap or deter
gent suds.
• Deep blemish or burn—
Remove damaged wood by
scraping with razor blade.
Clean area with naphtha.
Smooth damage with fine steel
wool and clean again. Fill
with layers of stick shellac or
wood filler stain to match
finish. Smooth and wax.
A good protection against
the above damages is to keep
furniture clean and well
waxed. Miss King points out
that many homemakers go
overboard on such waxing.

Beat-the-Heat Fashions
By HELEN HENNESSY
NEA Women's Editor
NEW YORK — (NEA) -
When summer comes to the
city, a girl has to choose
fashions that will help her to
keep her cool. And for the
coming season there is a wide
choice of togs to do just that
Breezy little skimmers,
swingy fit and flare styles
and the popular dirndls are
waiting to be grabbed off the
peg to give you carefree, hot
weather comfort
Sleevelessness and spare
shaping can take workday
chores in stride. Loose, low
belts keep pace with fashion
but leave the waist unham
pered.
Fabrics that don’t wilt in
the heat become more numer
ous each year. This time
around we have airy voiles
sheer cottons and linenlike
blends that know how to be
have when the temperature
soars into the 90s.
Then there are the psycho
logical coolers—the dresses
that look like frosty confec
tions and make you feel cool
just to slip into them.
Color plays a large role in
this group—the new frosted
pale browns and sherbet
shades.
If you are one of the work
ing crowd who must get
through the summer in the
steaming city, the fashion in
dustry has outdone itself this
time to keep you looking trim
and pretty while you beat the
heat.

Home Hints
Minerals in Water
Minerals in water cause a
film on clothes, making them
stiff and nonabsorbent, dull
bright colors, turn whites to
gray. More soap or detergent
not only is wasted in this case
but will further stick in the
clothes and also clog drains.
Often it is necessary to add a
water conditioner and use less
soap. Many housewives use
more soap or detergent than
[they need.

HOMEMAKER TIPS
Water Shortages
The current threat of water
shortages and with the possi
bility of permanent water
shortages in the future, it is
important to acquire good
habits of water usage. A few
to keep in mind are: Check
faucets for dripping (which
can waste four gallons a day),
keep drinking water in re
frigerator (two to three gal
lons can be wasted running to
cool the water), don’t let
water run while rinsing dishes
(10 to 15 gallons can go down
the drain this way).
Excess Detergent
According to plumbers, it is
a good idea to help clear
drains by running very hot
water periodically in your
water pipes.
