Ever Try Using Crevice Attachment
for Cleaning Your Bureau Dawers?
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
iisn; iish! Here it is the very .
last of January and only 11 more
shopping months until Christ
mas. And I’ll bet you haven’t
heeded my guou advice and got
ten part of, your ’53 shopping
done. Grin.
Has your oven gotten to look
tacky from constant use and
maybe a little neglect, so that
scouring powder will no longer
do the trick? Set a sauce dish
writh household ammonia in it,
in the oven overnight. If there
are real bad spots, lay a dish
cloth saturated in ammonia over
them, or a sponge with ammonia
in it. Next day wash and scour
thoroughly. If some still remains,
repeat the process that night and
scour again the next day.
If you have blonde or limed
oak furniture, you don’t want to
use an oiled dusting cloth. It
will cause the wood to turn dark
or turn streaked as time goes
along. Use a soft untreated cloth,
and every few months wax the
furniture with a good cream
wax.
Use your vacuum cleaner
on the living room drapes. The
upholstery attachment is made
for drapes as well as uphols
tery. If you go over the drapes
once a week carefully, you'll
find you're going to save lot
of cleaning bills — and your
drapes will stay in better
shape and wear much longer.
The crevice attachment for
your vacuum cleaner is just the
thmg to clean or suck up the
dust and sediment from bureau
drawers and such every few
months. And if you spill some
thing in the kitchen, use your
vacuum cleaner (the dusting
brush) to pick it up. I refer to
dry material such as spilled soap
flakes or powder, flour, sugar
and such. The dusting brush is
fine for going over the shades
on your table and floor lamps.
The brush can be washed. Wash
it often, so that the delicate silk
coverings on the lamps are not
soiled from the brush. This
should be done once a week, too.
Lamp bulbs will give better
service if washed every few
months. Don’t get the socket end
wet, of course. Coverings for
light fixtures should also be
washed every now and then—
and so should the bric-a-brac
about your home.
Keep a small bottle of win
dow cleaner with attached
spray in the bathroom. A spray
and a whisk to dry it will keep
the bathroom mirror shining
clean.
You’ll like the idea of keeping
each pair of nylons in a waxed
sandwich bag. They won’t get
snagged, and it’s easy to tell
how many wearable pairs you
have. Fine for traveling, too.
Save those new plastic bottles
with plug-in caps which so much
medicine and cosmetics are
packaged in nowadays. Your
aspirins in your purse can be put
into one, and they’re fine for
soap powder to carry in your
suitcase when you are traveling.
When traveling I always pack
each pair of gloves in one of the
waxed sandwich bags, also var
ious scarfs and accessories are
each packed separately, as are
undies and hose. I can tell at a
glance just what is in each of
the bags. They’re easily stored
in my dresser drawers this way,
too.

Heroine in ’88
_
—
Kept Pupils During
Big Storm
Each year in January the fad
ing memories of the blizzard of
January 12, 1888, are revived.
The Blizzard club holds its an
nual reunion, and newspapers
throughout the state generally
take note of the occasion. The
great blizzard is important in
Nebraska history not only be
cause of its severity but also be
cause it epitomizes the hardships
of the pioneers of the plains in
building these western states.
Some years ago the Blizzard
club, under the leadership of W.
H. O’Gara, published an excel
lent account of the storm, well
laden with reminiscences of sur
viviors, entitled “In All Its
Fury.”
Because the storm struck dur
ing the middle of the day in
much of Nebraska, catching
many children at isolated coun
try schools, the blizzard of 1888
frequently is referred to as “the
school children’s storm,” and
many are the tales of courage,
determination and even heroism
on the part of teachers, children
and parents. Among the best
known of these heroes and hero
ines of the storm was Minnie
Freeman, whose story I have
told before.
There were many others, as
the book, "In All Its Fury." el
oquently testifies. As a fair
example, consider the story of
Mrs. Susan Fuller of Stuart:
“I was teaching in district 136
about four miles northwest of
Stuart, and had only seven pu
pils the day of the blizzard.
“Shortly before the time for
recess one of the boys said,
‘Teacher, it is raining.’ The rain
soon turned to sleet and we could
see only a little distance. Our
schoolhouse was well built and
we had a good heating stove,
but only a small amount of coal.
In the afternoon one of the di
rectors came and said we must
not try to go home. He helped
the boys get in fuel and he then
went home, following a fence.
“We had two kerosene lamps
in the schoolhouse, for use when
the literary society met, but the
oil lasted only until about 3 o’
clock. It was not very long un
til the storm abated enough so
that the parents came for their
children. Of course, they were
grateful to me for keeping all of
them there and not letting them
try to get home.”
Again, the story of Mrs. F. M.
Kimbad of Guymon Okla., who
was attending a rural school near
Belden when the storm broke:
“The storm struck about 2 o’
clock, and we stayed in the
schoolhouse all night and until
the storm broke the next day.
We had no food except what was
left from our lunches. Mr. Law
rence (the teacher) was prepar
ing to chop up desks when we
heard sleigh bells and father, B.
W. Jones, and F. W. Fox arrived
to take us home. We always felt
that the good judgment of our
teacher, who kept us at the
schoolhouse, saved our lives.”
