POLLY’S POINTLHS
Three Ways to Clean Out
Lime Deposits in Kettle
By POLLY CRAMER
£
DEAR POLLY—Please tell Laura who wanted to re
move lime deposits from her teakettle to try filling it
with three parts water and one part vinegar. Bring to a
boil and let stand overnight. In the morning, empty the
kettle and wash thoroughly.—MlSS E. E. S.
DEAR POLLY—I would like to tell Laura that my
mother removed lime deposits from her teakettle by
putting three or four marbles in the kettle and then
letting them roll around as the pot boiled—PEAßL
DEAR POLLY—Laura can remove the thick crust of
lime from her aluminum teakettle by filling it with water
and then adding three or four tablespoons of cream of
tartar and boiling for a short time. If this does not re
move it, the crust will be surely loosened enough so that
a soap pad will remove the rest.—L. A. K.
' Polly's Problems
DEAR POLLY—I find it impossible to get iron-on “
patches to stay on my son’s trousers. They last |
x through one or two washings, then come off whether
| they are applied to the inside or the outside. The
brand of the patch does not seem to matter nor the
• type of detergent used in the laundry. I usually use /
I a bio-degradable one and now wonder if this could
I be a problem peculiar to wash-and-wear fabrics. I
| would appreciate some information.—SANDY
DEAR POLLY — For an
easy clean-up wastebasket
to use when cleaning in
doors or out, take the leg
stand of a TV tray and a
plastic garbage can liner.
Fold liner over top of stand,
tape folded-over edge of
liner to legs with masking
tape. (PoDy's note —Clin
clothespins could be used,
too.) When bag is full re-
move tape, twist top of
liner and trash is neatly bagged.—JUNE
DEAR POLLY—My Pet Peeve concerns boxed choco
lates with brand names. How can we be sure they are
fresh? They are kept out on the store counters for an
indefinite time except for those boxed especially for
Easter, Mother’s Day, etc. Even cooking chocolate is oc
casionally stale, so how is one to know if it is fresh?—
MRS K. W.
DEAR POLLY — Now is the time to start saving
those gold plastic spools that some sewing thread comes
on. Glue sequins on the sides and circles of felt on the
ends, put a cord through the spool and have an at
tractive lightweight Christmas tree decoration. —
MRS. 0. 0.
DEAR POLLY — N. V. might make outer soles for
her infant’s footed pajamas by using cotton terry cloth,
scraps of washable bathroom carpet, cotton corduroy
or good textured plastic, such as the better shower cur
tains are made of. I do not suggest foam-backed vinyl
as it does not stitch well on the sewing machine and
separates and shreds after a few washings. Narrower
seam allowances will help relieve the bulk problem and
the inner soles could be hand-sewn to the machine
stitches that are there.
I cannot sympathize with Mrs. R. V. K. as TVitis is
not one of my problems but she might try deciding which
room she wants to use for entertainment and which for
TV viewing, then arrange the non-TV room to suit her
fancy. If she has no choice of den or living room but
just has a corner to spare, why not set up a TV nook
and just supply some movable chairs to arrange in front
of it? I think one has to decide whether or not to sacri
fice taste for comfort at times if that is what one’s com
fort demands.—HOLLY

Fashion and Beauty Tips
KEEP HER MOVING
A great gift idea for a spe
cial woman is an enrollment
in a dance, exercise or yoga
club.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Everyone should have a
travel-anywhere outfit. It
should be something that will
be just right even when
traveling from one climate
to another. Such as a cardi
gan sleeveless shirtwaist
dress for the warmer
weather that comes with a
matching jacket that can be
put on when you arrive in a
colder city.
ORIENTAL PRINTS
Prints are getting bigger
and brighter, and they’re
coming from the Orient. Wild
reds, peacock blues and gold
en yellows will be seen on
evening dresses, bathing
suits, beach robes and short
chiffon kimonos.
EYE CONDITIONING
Special eye emollients that
pamper and soften those tiny
lines around the eyes are
made to be worn under
make-up. So you can be con
ditioning your face during
the day as well as during
the night.

TASTY LIPS
Now on the market are lip
glosses that taste as good as
they look. The ripe colors are
fruit-flavored with cherry,
pineapple, nectarine or
strawberry.
BABY YOUR SKIN
Baby oil is still one of the
best make-up removers
around. And during the win
ter months, baby oil serves
a dual purpose. Besides re
moving the last bit of make
up, it moisturizes and con
ditions the skin for the cold,
skin-drying weather ahead.
West Griffin
PTA meets
The West Griffin PTA held its
November meeting at the
school. Mrs. Pat Lassiter, vice
president, presided.
Miss Dorothy Giles and Mrs.
E. Raglins’ second grades
presented a Thanksgiving pro
gram.
During the business session
the minutes and treasurer’s
reports were read and ap
proved.
Miss Giles’ second grade won
the grade count.
