WHATEVER "IT Is - HERE'S WHAT TO DO Washington (CNS) - An Armed Forces maxim born of the war years has been modified to fit peacetime patterns. During the war the popular axiom was: If it moves, salute it. If it doesn't move, pick it up. If you can't pick it up, paint it. The shift to peace-time family concerns has prompted ex-servicemen to change the advice, according to Attorney- General Tom Clark. He says it's now this: If it cries, change it. If it's on wheels, buy it. If it's hollow, rent it. [[line]] A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION (Continued from Page 1) with the Tactical unit at present but that should present no problem. A smaller number are here and much easier to contact. Why not set up a working scheme now and surprise them when they return. They would easily fit into the plan. Its also practicable for a number of families to get together and have a party inviting friends. What about a night for families? There are a few subjects worth discussing here in connection with formulating plans for entertainment. All people must first know each other and be made to feel a part of the community. There can be no snobbishness on the part of any family. Malicious gossip has no place in such a small unit and narrow, warped minds are virtues for no one. Don't segregate yourselves into small sects and open the floor for criticism. There is no space for class distinction between us if we are to live together. It is a very small task to get along with one another. Bring the OWL Club into prominence and be the leaders of the march towards recovery. The secret of good fellowship in the club and harmony among families residing on and off the base lies in the tactics applied by the OWL to the present situation. [[line]] "Hey, Sarg! Don't poke the broom in the baby's face!" "Got to. He has to get to kissing his grandpaw." [[line]] "Does the accused desire to challenge any member of this court?"

[[line]] HOUSEHOLD HINTS As a means of detracting attention from the bare posts in the living room and at the same time accentuating decoration, the following suggestions are offered: 1. An entire covering of mirrored strips, either plain or bevel edge, will prove very attractive. 2. Book shelves built around Posts will provide an accessible place for library. 3. Small shelves, square or round, built from eye level to knee length, can be used very effectively as a display for potted plants or bric-a-brac. 4. Covering posts with jewel-cut plywood is quite a new treatment and should blend well in a modern setting. Paint or paper bare features to match the wall. This will make the room a mass of color and also give the effect of being a simple area. [[line]] CLEANING To prevent a "stale" flavor in coffee, wash the coffee maker in hot suds and rinse it thoroughly after each use. To remove tarnish from brass and copper utensils rub them with a mixture of equal parts of flour, salt and vinegar. Never scour china or pottery. Hard rubbing and cleaning powders may cause the color or gilt to fade and damage the smooth finish. To soften the hard water at Lockbourne add Melo, Dreft or Vel when washing dishes or clothes. To soften bath water use bubble bath. It also makes scouring of the tub unnecessary after each use of the tub. [[line]] -2-
