Because this seems to be a
busy, mechanical, and complex
world, it’s satisfying to work at
all the “gentle arts.” “It’s a taste
of time when life was simple and
such a joy to be able to say: “I
made it myself.”
It’s not just the decorative
home arts that are seeing such a
revival. The kitchen, too, is
getting a large share of the ac
tion. And cooking creatively is an
area that interests many young
women.
If you’d like to find a creative
outlet for your time and talents
you’ll find many resources
available-a talented neighbor,
library books, adult education
courses, Extension workshops,
and women’s magazines. You,
too, can find the joy in saying “i
did it myself,”
Uses For Misfit Toys
While your children are busy
playing with their new Christmas
toys, it would be a good time to
look through their toy box and
remove any broken or unused
toys.
How many of your child’s toys
are still in use or intact? Broken
or unused toys may have been
misfits. That is, the toy and your
child just didn’t match. The item
may have been labeled “suitable
for a three-year old.” It’s true
that three-year-olds are alike in
some ways, but each one is an
individual. One likes to put things
together and take them apart,
while another child has little
interest in how a toy works.
Also, some children can control
and use their bodies and muscles
earlier than others. A small, agila
child may be able to make a toy
do the things it was designed to
do. And a larger, more vigorous

Once you’ve decided you have

something, remember to invest
for tomorrow-not for today.

specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University explain that a
short-term investor or„in-and-out
trader speculates with day-to-day
price fluctuations, and this can be
costly. A long-term investor is
relatively immune to the effects
of short-term price fluctuations
however sharp they may be.
Historically, over a reasonably
long investment period, the ups
and downs of market price tend
to even out. And even more
important, long-term investors
are likely to benefit from the
increasing wealth and growth of
American industry.
Combination stains such as
gravy are caused by materials
that contain both greasy and
nongreasy substances. For
washable articles, sponge the
stain with cool water. Or soak the
stain in cool water for 30 minutes
or longer. If the stain remains,
Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson, Extension
clothing specialist at The Penn
syvlania State University,
suggests you work detergent into
the stain then rinse thoroughly
Allow the article to dry. If a
greasy stain remains, sponge
with a grease solvent. Allow to
dry. Repeat if necessary. If a
colored stain remains after the
fabric dries, use a chlorine or
peroxygen bleach. For non
washable, follow the same
procedures, but don’t soak the
fabric.
