measurement. (For example,
a 48” wide table with a
80” drop measures 48 + SO
+ 80 -108”.)
2. Cut two widths of
Masland Duran vinyl to the
desired length (108” long
each). Cut one of these
108” long pieces in half
lengthwise. Sew the split
width pieces to the full
width piece, one on each
side, allowing 1/2” seams.
Use your heaviest machine
needle and a long sewing
stitch.
3. Spread vinyl out on
floor wrong side up and glue
seams open. Divide your
total measurement in half
(108 *2- 54”). Tie a string
to a pencil and cut the string
to this measurement (5'4”).
Find the exact center of the
fabric and use a thumbtack
to hold the end of the string
in place. Draw a circle as
shown. Cut out the circle.
No hem is necessary.
4. Turn fabric to right
ride and glue on desired
trim-ball fringe, ribbon,
rick-rack, cut outs.

One of the questions I’m most
often asked is this one How do
I get my children to drink more
milk’
That’s easy to answer. Just
tell me what your child’s favor
ite flavor is Combine with milk
and/or ice cream and it's easy
as sippin’ through a straw!
Is it peanut butter 9 Mix Vz
cup of peanut butter with 1 pint
of softened vanilla ice cream,
then add 2 cups of milk and Vz
teaspoon of vanilla extract, and
you’ll get 4 to 5 cups that will
serve two or three children,
nicely, and they’ll thank you
sweetly.
Is it chocolate and peanut
butter? That’s easy, too. Just
substitute 14 cup pf chocolate
syrup for the vanilla and beat
all together. You’ll then have a
chocolate peanut butter shake.
Oh, peppermint is your child's
favorite? Whip a pint of pep
permint stick ice cream with 1
quart of milk, then top with
scoops of peppermint ice cream.
If you like, dress it up with
crushed peppermint stick candy
or give them a stirrer of a pep
permint candy cane. They’ll go
for it.
A rainbow of milk drinks?
Use a pint of sherbet for each
quart of milk and stir together.
You can select from orange,
lemon, lime, pineapple or rasp
berry sherbets if the youngster
wants variety
Don't forget the frozen fruit
juice concentrates, as a base for
milk drinks, too. You can thaw
% of a cup (or a 6-ounce can
of the frozen concentrate), mix
with a pint of vanilla ice cream,
then add 3 cups of milk and
gmgerale to fill the glasses.
Food costs continue to spiral
up. sad to relate. Economy’s
still the watchword in most
American families.

3. Place fabric face down.
Measure up about 2” from
the bottom and draw a line
across the width of the fab
ric. Fold to this line and sew
or glue fabric across width
to make slat pocket. Glue or
sew on trimming on right
side and attach pull. Insert
slat in pocket.
4. Align upper edge of
fabric with roller center.
Staple or tape top of mate
rial to roller, using center
roller guide line. Be certain
your fabric is absolutely
straight on the roller.
Fortunately, the summer
months make that economy eas
ier because a hearty salad can
be the mainstay of the meal.
Everyone is familiar with the
old favorite, potato salad, when
fortified with frankfurters, cold
cuts or deviled eggs.
There are others, too. One
favorite is a tuna salad which
can be made in many ways.
Another is poached fish fillets
to which is added a bit of
shrimp or crab meat; the latter
two are fairly expensive, but
they arc neatly extended with
plain fillets, flaked and cooled.
Still another interesting main
dish salad calls for noodles,
cooked and chilled. Then they’re
mixed with cottage cheese, dairy
sour cream, caraway seeds,
grated raw carrots and radishes.
Or, what about mixing
cooked, chilled noodles with
cubes of Swiss or Muenster
cheese and some crunchy foods
like chopped celery and green
pepper, then ringing the bowl
with bright, cheeky cherry to
matoes? If you like, add just a
taste of meat with thin-sliced
smoked ham from a 3-ounce
package or sliced, spunky salami.
Rice in a salad? Yes, it can
be delightful when prepared
with any of the fish mentioned
above. Add chopped celery,
green pepper and sour cream.
Let dairy sour cream replace
mayonnaise in these salads. Sour
cream has 25 to 30 calories per
tablespoon; mayonnaise, 65.
