NOT what you put on the table but what you put on the chairs Erma Bombeck Dan Rather iust missed Open letter to Dan Rather author of The Camera Never BlinkSi Dear Dan am addressing you rather infomially as you nearly missed being named in suit to end 2year marriage Last Sunday was reading your book when my husband said How do you likethe book told him thought it was fascinating and he asked if you broached the subject of that infamous press conference when you arose to scattered applause and Mr Nixon asked Are you running for something and you replied No Mr President are you baldalways felt that was an outoHine retort said my hus You had to have been there said It wasnt the way it seemed at all Knowing you you probably got it screwed up anyway What do you mean by crack like that Exactly what you think mean You are always quoting statistics that when tallied exceed 100 per cent At least know how fee before bumper sticker comes out on it Unlike some people do not have time to read for pleasure am too busy cutting the lawn moving the hose and cleaning the garage If had wanted to work Sundays Id have been priest And suppose do not work Sundays This morning ldid load oftowels got breakfast went to church Thats another thing Why is it when we are supposed to give one another the kiss of peace you kiss me on the lips then turn to the people behind you and whisper Who is this weirdo Just little humor Cant you take joke anymore Speaking of your mother she wants you to call her You know what lcant stand about you Its the way you smile when you argue Why cant you snarl like everyone else read the other day where 69 per cent of the American people hate it when you smile 35 percent like it and 13 per cent had no opinion There you go again That adds up to 117 per cent He picked up the book Why does Dan Rather want to break up our marriage dont know never figured him for homewrecker dont know your reason for doing this Dan but know that Walter Cronkite would never make trouble Ink spots on shirts DEAR POLLY My pen with blue ink on it has leak ed on my shirt pockets and my wife has not been able to remove the spots hope you will be able to tell us what will erase them and oblige an old age pensioner JOHN DEAR JOHN You failed to say what type of ink was In your pen or what sort of fabric makes your shirts so our answer has to be on the vague side too For ball polnt ink stain spray hair spray on the spots let dry and wash as usual Some permanent inks cannot be remov ed For pen inks that are not ball point one could rub in lemon juice and detergent let stand five minutes and then launder If stain remains after this spread paste made of baking soda and peroxide over stains and hold over steaming tea kettle Launder as usual Good luck POLLY DEAR POLLY My Pet Peeve is with the new spools that thread no comes on These spools spin on the machine and cause the thread to knot under the needle ETHEI DEAR POLLY Helen can get rid of those grease ants in very simple and safe way Ants hate salt so shake regular table salt into several small jar covers and spread around where they are seen In no time the ants will disappear had these red ants on my kitchen window sills and sink counter and the day put the same around they disappeared The salt also worked for friend who had ants on her terrace MRS FJC DEAR POLLY have discovered really good way to keep the birds from eating the fruit on my trees saved two aluminum pie tins punched holes in the rims and tied yarn through the holes so the tins could hang down about 12 inches from the limbs where they hung also tie yarn to paddle such as one uses for mixing paint and tie this about four inches away from pie tin on the same limb so it hangs down just opposite the pie tin The other pic tin and paddle are put on the opposite side of the tree Any breeze will cause the tin and paddle to hit each other and make clang that really scares the birds away MRS RH
