That's because they buy products they don’t really need. Instead, Josephine Kotch, ex- tension home economist, for Luzerne county, says why not make use of lower cost cleaning products already in the home which work just as well? There are many cleaning tricks that make use of common household products sitting on cupboard shelves. For example, ammonia diluted in water can holstery and carpets, windows, mirrors and glassware, plastic shower curtains and as a wax remover for non-wood floors. The housewife can clean the oven by placing a saucer filled with undiluted ammonia in a cool oven. Leave it in overnight with the oven door closed. The next day remove the grease with a cloth dampened in a solution of one cup ammonia in a pail of water. According to Mrs. Kotch, baking soda is another handy cleaning product. Baking soda and water do a good job of cleaning stainless steel ap- pliances. painted woodwork and bathroom tiles. To remove the grease stains from carpets, rub dry baking soda into the nap of the carpet. let it stand and then vacuum. Copper appliances will come out shining if you wet them. sprinkle with baking soda and then rub with a half a lemon. Mrs. Kotch says other house- hold products which often come in handy for cleaning are borax, vinegar, washing soda, bleach, lemon juice. turpentine and cream of tartar. If clothes don’t really look clean. try washing them with one and one-half cups of non: precipitating water conditioner. Don’t use a detergent.

Wyoming Seminary is enter- ing its 130th academic year. Amy Beth Slaff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Slaff, 284 Split Rail Lane, Dallas, is one of - 350 students who has entered their freshman year at Goucher College, Towson, Md. The inde- pendent, liberal arts college be- gan its 88th year, Sept. 4. Amy Beth, a 1973 graduate of Wyoming Seminary, was liter- ary editor of the “‘Opinator’’ in high school and was also on the varsity hockey team. Classes began Sept. 10 and will continue until the end of the ~ first -semester in December. Approximately 1,000 students are enrolled for the coming semester. Goucher College operates on a 4-1-4 calendar which allows for a January term. Students generally take four courses in each regular semeysg- and one during the mini sem'@ter. Since its founding, Goucher has been interested in the growth of the individual and therefore stu- dents have freedom to pursue their own interests within the broad framework of a liberal arts education. In the belief that this kind of education requires a special relationship between teacher and student, the college has a student-faculty ratio of 11- 1. If all of the people in the country that snored were lined up end to end, nobody would get any sleep, according to the Pa. Medical Society. Since it’s estimated that at least one in every eight Ameri- cans snores, there’s a good chance that one of them is someone in your family. And if that person happens to sleep in the same room as you do, you know that all of those jokes and comedy routines that exist about snoring aren’t neces- sarily funny, especially when you think about them as you lie awake listening to that someone snore. The causes of snoring are numerous, and can be anything from nasal congestion or nasal obstructions, to tissue in the throat that has lost its tone. Things like smoking, fatigue or obesity can affect the throat and help cause snoring. Before you let snoring ruin a happy home, check with your physician. If there is a definite cause for the snoring it can sometimes be corrected. Snoring in children can some- times be corrected by the removal of enlarged adenoids and tonsils. A blocked nose can sometimes lead to snoring, but can sometimes be corrected by minor surgery. And if the snoring is caused ge con- gestion, antihistaMines can sometimes relieve the conges- tion and bring relief to both the snorer and the ‘‘snoree.” JUNIORS Model LA500p ®) DALLAS tions brics) Ap A pe SER ap San EET or es _———
