library Hy MARGARET WORTH Ideas are sometimes pretty difficult to transform into reality and the end result is usually rather different from the original concept At least thats how things work out for me lhis yearriur mtrihutmmaliarrie Winter Carnival was no exception The idea born one 5a tuber was to promote the theme of fantasy with swords and sorcery in the world of books The Crystal Cave we decided would be perfect envisaged magnificent cave built miraculously of some sparking material with sfalactites hanging from its lofty roof enthused over the possibility of fountain bubbling in never ending stream of water over cascades of white marble dreamed happily of large stone complete with King Arthurs sword buried deep in its granite side Then got busy pushed those ideas into the back of my mind and left them there Two months ago had to find them again and face the reality of what we could actually do on very small budget and limited time and space The end result was pretty far removed from my original dream but the basic concept was still there The magifiient cave sank to mere 17 by 18foot structure built not of sparkling crystal but an enormous sweep of plastic No stalagtites hung from the ceiling just shdows cast by clever lighting and some artful draping tiur sparkling fountain proved to be something less titan successful and had to be gracefully retired it leaked lot We did have magic pot though with swirling mist in its mirky depths our sword reposed snuggly in its stone perhaps not quite of granite but stone nevertheless and we had resident Merlin to inhabit our cave providing con clusively that the pen is mightier than the sword arnival days always mean hard work as well as fun We had both and as usual had more than my fair share of help both from the talented young men who were my coworkers this weekend and from my family who with the usual token amount of grumbling were always right there when needed dawn think we brought little fantasy and sorcery to the arvival We meant to Again and again heard the com ment Libraries sure have changed since was kid Yes they have Im very glad to say Pollys Pointers Turpentine removes paint DEAR lIIY My crcanHolored cotton blend sweater has red oil paint on it am afraid to try anything on it until feel sure it will work An easy way to remove used candle from the glass is to put II in your freezer upside down Tapping against the palm of your band should remove it without any messy digging MRS SS DEAR MRS SS Thank you for your Pointer had several voflvc lights leftover from the holidays that needed to be cleaned because the candles had burned so low Your suggestion worked like charm The wax all fell out in one clean lump left mine in the freezer overnight hope the following will work as well for you and those oil paint spots Apply turpentine to spots to soften rinse and then rub with bar soap rinse and launder as usual POLLY DEAR POLLY Thank you for the newspaper clipper and it could not have come at better time was letting the bums down on some drapes and had misplaced the gadget usually use for ripping and there on the table was the clipper figured that if it could cut paper why not thread and found it did better job than the gadget made for such use When making potato salad boil the eggs in the same water as the potatoes but take them out when they are cooked not only save gas but another pot ROSALIND DEAR POLLY To keep refrigerated vegetables fresh and crisp for prolonged period of time use small brown paper bags rather than the usual cellophane or fail wraps have had things stay fresh for as long as month because the brown paper absorbs any moisture while the other wraps do not HOWARD DEAR PULLY Mrs IKs Pet Peeve worries me wonder if she ever counts her blessings one being to have friends who drop in on her There was day when felt as she does but have discovered God sends these IxWI My suggestion is to reflect not reject MRS
