Make Brass Shiny
You’ve seen those beauti
ful brass beds that gleam
and shine. You may even
own one. If you do, you know
that gleam doesn’t come
naturally. It comes through
unnaturally-hard work.
Brass hardware on furni
ture or complete pieces of
brass like beds or hat stands
can add charm and dignity
to your decor, but you need
to know how to clean and
polish them.
To clean solid or pressed
brass, you can use a com
mercial brass cleaner or you
can immerse smaller pieces
in household ammonia and
allow them to soak a short
time. Then rub them with a 3
0 steel wool pad and wash
them in warm, sudsy water.
Rinse and dry.
Rub hard-to-remove spots
with salt moistened with hot
vinegar or a lemon rind
dipped in salt. Wash in
warm, sudsy water. Rinse
and dry.
What Type Finish
Brass is an alloy of copper
and zinc. It is most often
used for decorative items.
To polish brass, you need to
know if you have antique-fin
ish brass, or a regular brass
finish.
For antique-finish brass,
rub it with boiled linseed oil,
remove the excess and pol
ish with a dry cloth.
For brass finishes, apply a
commercial brass cleaner or
a thin paste of rottenstone
powder and linseed oil. Buy
both at hardware or paint
stores. Wipe off the paste
with a cloth moistened in
boiled linseed oil. Polish
with a dry cloth.
You can also use a paste of
whiting and denatured alco
hol. Allow it to dry on brass
before polishing. Then,
wash, rinse and dry.
One note of caution: when
polishing brass, do not touch
the metal with bare hands.

The oil in your skin will show
up as brown stains beneath
the lacquer. Wear cotton
gloves.
Lacquer is used over
brass to retard tarnishing, if
the finsih becomes cracked,
however, air seeps under it
and causes discoloration.
The remaining lacquer must
be removed, the item
cleaned and polished and the
lacquer reapplied.
To Remove Lacquer
To remove flaky lacquer,
apply lacquer thinner with a
cloth or soak the item in
thinner for 10 to 15 minutes.
Rub lacquer off with a
coarse cloth. Wash in warm,
sudsy water, then rinse, dry
and polish.
If you don’t have lacquer
thinner, use acetone, which
is finger nail polish re
mover, amyl acetate, or de
natured acohol on a soft
cloth. Several applications
may be necessary. Wash in
warm, sudsy water and then
rinse, dry and polish.
Caustic soda may be used
as a last resort. It is also
called sodium hydroxide and
is available at drug stores.
Add a half pound of caustic
soda to a half gallon of cold
water. Be sure to wear
gloves if your hands are sen
sitive. Apply with a brush or
cloth. This will often soften
the lacquer so it can be
rubbed off with a coarse
cloth and cold water. Wash
in warm, sudsy water. Rinse
well and dry. Then polish.
You can apply lacquer by
either dipping or spraying.
For dipping, you will need a
wire hook and place for the
brass item to drip dry for
about an hour. Dip it at least
three times.
For spraying, support the
item so all sides are ex
posed, and then spray
evenly and completely. Ap
ply at least three coats and
allow for drying between
each coat.

THE FIREPLACE
Fireplaces serve two pur
poses in today’s homes.
First, they add beauty. Se
cond, they can offer an
emergency source of heat in
case of a power failure.
Cooperative Extension Ser
vice specialists say it’s not a
good idea to use the fireplace
as a primary source of heat.
They say it is inefficient and
requires a great deal of wood
in order to heat even a
modest home.

Stalking Down The
Dreaded Pad Grabber
By JUNE FULLER
Well, I did it! I spotted a
“pad grabber” in the super
market and set him
straight!
Him?
That’s right. That thought
less thief of refund forms
was a man.
I noticed him looking at a
new pad of Campbell’s re
fund forms as I was walking
down the canned-soup aisle,
I waited patiently for him to
move on so that I could take
my turn at the pad.
But, in less time than it
takes to say “split pea,” he
pulled the pad oft the shelf,
folded it in half and tucked it
into his pocket.
My heart started to race,
and my blood started to boil.
He was at least a foot taller
than me, but I quickly
turned my shopping cart to
cut him off.
“Hold on!” I said, con
fronting him face to face.
“It’s not fair for you to take
that whole pad of refund
forms. I was waiting until
you had finished so I could
take one.”
He blinked and seemed
momehtarily confused. Then
his face turned bright red.
“I’m sorry,” he said shee
pishly. “My wife and I just
started to use refunds, and
we haven’t been able to find
many forms.”
“That’s a good reason not
to take the whole pad,” I told
him. “You are preventing a
lot of other people who shop
at this store from saving
money with refunds.”
‘ You’re absolutely right,”
he agreed. Then he took the
pad of forms out of his
pocket, pulled off one form
and handed it to me. Then he
turned toward the Camp
bell’s cans and reattached
the pad to the shelf.
I smiled as I watched him
tear off one form for him
self, hold it up to show me
and then continue down the
aisle.

form to write for-. Shopping
