THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE / PAGE SEVEN WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1947 TIPS FOR TEENS When You Invite Guests -- By FLINOR WILLIAMS "My girl friend and I are going to our junior prom with two boys from out of town," writes a high schooler, "We would like to know the correct procedure for such dates "1--Do the girls buy the tickets, then give them to their escorts?" (Ans.--Yes. Buy the tickets in ad- vance and make plans with your friends to exchange dances with them, explaining that your escort is ' coming from out of town, so you're making out the program. It will be more fun to exchange dances, in- stead of dancing all the time with the same ner. This is correct, too. Give the dance tickets and pro- gram to your escorts when you leave for the dance.) "2--Are the boys expected to buy corsages?" (Ans--They may if they 1 . but many classes have banned i : this year, realizing that "more boys can go to the dances if "they don't have the additional ex- , pense of a corsage, If your class de- : Sides to omit corsages, let the boys ) hi {#3 _Are the boys expected to take care of any other expenses such as a snack afterwards? (Ans.--Your "escorts take charge of alt other ex- penses that evening. Since theyre - coming from out of town, it would be nice for you to arrange transpor- "tation to the dance, if possible. If not, they pay the fares.) "4 _Could my escort drive my fa- sther's car?" (Ans, -- Yes. So little gas will be used that it would be "best to have some put into the tank "5--Would it be proper for the boys to spend the week-end at my house with my mother's permission? And for my girl friend to stay the night of the dance?" (Ans--A house party; what fun! Ask them to stay at your house, by all means, stress- ing your mother's permission. Next day, make several suggestions in- cluding a movie, a hike or picnic, bowling, etc., so they can choose. You can all help with odd jobs around the house to make your mother's work lighter, too. It will seem part of the fun.) Mixing. Bowl Hello Homemakers! Entertaining to us is what "Hula" means to the Hawalians--a specialty. Canadian women are noted for their hospi- tality and during the festive season they will be very busy hostesses. But the limits of the family budget must still be observed and one way to help is to conserve leftovers. Here is a simple review of cooking hints, which will all save money. -1, Keep your flour fresh by stor- ing tightly covered in a cool place. 2. Replace flour with oatmeal, cornmeal or graham cracker crumbs. 3. Put dry bread to be used as crumbs through the food chopper. 4. Use smaller portions of meat --Jargér amounts of vegetables. 8. Use standard recipes and sim- ple menus--and skip evening snacns for awhile. 6. Clarify and use meat dripping. 7. Keep left-over egg yolks cov- ered with water in refrigerator; egg whites just covered in small deep dish. 8. Use a rubber scraper to clean out all cooking, baking and serving dishes. '9. Remember that pork liveh Is cheaper and more nutritious than other 'kinds; that stews are more | economical than roasts; that bran tea biscuits are cheaper than muf- fins; that milk dishes are recom- mended in preference to rich des- serts; that open-faced pies are less expensive than French pastries. 10. You can serve more Servings from pork cold than hot. . 11. Wrap left over foods and store in electric refrigerator to maintain color and freshness. 12. Keep wedges of cheese wrap- ed in a cloth moistened with vin- egar and packaged in waxed paper. 13. Do not go on buying sprees without checking list of goods that sre still under price control.

TCG BVT DIIONE FeO v in vegetables are right under the skin?" You're right--that's exactly where they are. That's why apples, for instance, if eaten raw should not be peeled. If cooked for apple sa: *e they should be cooked with the skins on. We like to use steel wool on such vege- tables as carrots and save the under-the-skin vitamins. Potatoes too should be cooked in their jackets and then pasion, thas is it Jor want the most out of them. Tur- ets, of course, have t the posing: thin as yoy can. 0'be posed Bin keep OTHER: "I'm a second wife and my husband has just died. My stepson has produced a letter from his mother stating that she owned the farm and willing it to this son. He has ordered me out. Oan he evict me?" What you need' is a good lawyer, not another woman giving you advice. Take your story to a reputable legal authority. In the meantime, it the stepson tries to evict you, and your case is just, you can apply for police pro- tection. CLOCK TROUBLE: "Will you please repeat the oily rag recipe for strbborn clocks, I didn't catch it all im the broadcast." Sometimes this method will start a balky alarm clock which is not broken. Sprinkle a ciean rag with coal oil and put it in the bottom of a tin can. Place the alarm clock on top of the rag and close the lid tightly, leave it there a day or two then take it out and give it a shake. It frequently starts. The oil has penetrated the works and oiled up the dust. It's worth trying anyway. Some mes the same method will work with an eight-day clock. Put the oily rag inside near the works and close the door.
