POLLY’S POINTERS
B > Ml
She cares about
banana care
I. —•= Polly’s Problem —-q
DEAR POLLY — I would like to know how others
take care of bananas. — BERTHA S.
DEAR POLLY — I do a lot of knitting and crocheting and
use many brands of yarn. My Pet Peeve is with those skeins
that are supposed to pull out from the center but are twisted
and knotted. Yarn is wasted which means money wasted and
more yarn is needed than the directions call for. Thanks for
letting me voice my Pet Peeve. — MRS.C.D.S.
DEAR POLLY — Shelly can make her medical-alert bra
celet look like new again with a little work. I know for I have
worn one for 20 years. Every three months I wet a clean cloth
with fingernail polish remover and then paint over it with
red nail polish. Wet the rag again with remover and then
wipe the polish off. Red will remain in the indentations. If
she wants it darker apply another coat of polish. My doctor is
the one who first macle these bracelets and when mine lost
its color he said no paint they had tried would stay on for
long. He suggested I try the nail polish and it worked. —
ELSIE.
DEAR POLLY — Like Shelley I, too, wear a medical-alert
bracelet. When the paint came off after several months’
wear my husband came up with an idea that works. I brush
the complete face of my bracelet with a red metal paint such
as car paint and wait until it is tacky to the touch. Then I
wipe it off and red paint remains in the indentations. This is
repeated about twice a year. — LAURA.
DEAR POLLY — If your child has many stuffed toys but a
small play space in his room sew plastic rings to the toys. Put
screw hooks in the wall at the child’s eye level. He can hang
up his toys and make the room more attractive looking, too.
- MRS.V.G.
DEAR GIRLS — Not too long ago 1 saw another good
storage idea used in a child’s small room. The mother had
bought plastic dish pans in several different colors. Each
was filled with small toys and they were stacked with the
narrow side of one across the long side of another to the
desired height. If the stack toppled when the child removed
a pan to get toys nobody was hurt because of the softness of
the pans. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with leaking milk car
tons. I can understand an occasional one but I have been
averaging one leaking one out of every four cartons. —
MRS.S.N.
DEAR POLLY - I would like for Mrs.A.L. to know that I
have found that wax shoe polish of the proper color does a
fine job of removing scratches from furniture and puts on a
nice finish. I also find this good for paneled walls and wood
floors. Apply with a cloth or cotton swab and polish well with
another cloth. — BERTHA,
DEAR POLLY - So many of the readers like J.N. seem
Clagued with that problem of pet odors. I have cured some
eauties with a good STRONG solution of plain old baking
soda in water. The only trick is to be sure that all the soda
dissolves and that the solution sinks in as deeply as the origi
nal odor producer.
Also when coming home from the beach with sand
covered legs and feet a big problem is practically eliminated
if you have along a can of baby powder. Shake a healthy
amount of powder on the kids’ feet and legs and you can
brush the sand off in seconds and even put their shoes on.
Sure helps keep the car clean. — J.L.
DEAR POLLY - To keep the children from wasting ex
pensive precious sugar put it in a king-size shaker and let
them shake it on their cereal, etc. No spilling. Less is used to
say nothing of the shaker being easier for them to handle. -
PAT.
DEAR POLLY - The best way I have found to get rid of a
lingering odor in baby’s diaper pail is to use a crystal-type
toilet bowl deodorant. The pail smells nicer. This is usually
less expensive than the diaper pail deodorants found at the
store and that do not work as well either. This type deodor
ant works wonders on garbage pails. —MRS.R.L.H.
DEAR POLLY — Do tell Mrs.K.H. who had such a hard
time removing the big sticker from the window of her new
car that I find cotton soaked in rubbing alcohol works like a
charm for removing price stickers, city stickers, etc. —
JUNE.
DEAR POLLY - Mrs.K.H. will find it is not difficult to
remove that sales sticker from the window of her new car if
she will wet a cloth in vinegar, place it over the paper, hold it
there a bit until the sticker is soaked. Then it will come off
nicely. This is good for jar labels, too.
My Pointer is for away to store long necklaces and chains
without tangling. Buy a small pullout, accordion-type rack
hanger, hang your jewelry on it. I also hang bracelets on
mine. Put the hanger on a closet door or wall near the
dresser. — CECILLIA.
