THURSDAY 16 DECEMBER 1976

"Tis the season"—to be jolly, yes, but also to be ready for the
influx of home-coming family members and other holiday guests.
Obviously with this in mind a reader called last week to ask for the
woodwork cleaning "recipe" which appeared in this column a couple
of years ago and was needed again. Tess Wilkinson gave us the
recipe originally, and it was a useful formula, as many prideful
home-owners discovered. But they, and I, had lost the recipe.
Tess came to our rescue, and, having had a number of calls over a
period of time, suggested that it might be well to reprint the
formula. So. here it is. Apply this mixture with a well-squeezed
sponge, so that it doesn't drip on your pretty panemng or wooden
doors or whatever it is you are using it on.
Tess Wilkinson's Woodwork Cleaning Formula
1 gallon warm water
I cup non-sudsing ammonia
. cup self-cleaning wax
Mix well together, use sponge to apply.
Tess had clipped another formula, this one for cleaning windows
.ind mirrors, from one of Polly's Pointers columns and felt that it
should have some publicity, too. Seems as if it would Ik- a good idea
;o put both of these "recipes" in the file with your other recipes so
ihat next time you want them you'll know just where to look.
Polly's Window Cleaning Formula
Fill gallon-size jar with
1 pint rubbing alcohol
2 tablespoons liquid dishwashing soap
:1 tablespoons ammonia
Knough water to fill the jar
Green or blue food coloring, just for looks
Label the jar, and keep it well out of reach of inquisitive children.
Polly doesn't say so, but I would expect you could apply this to your
<;lass surfaces with any spray bottle. Wipe with those great
Mandi-Wipes for holiday-bright windows and mirrors.
If the price of coffee keeps going up—and we are told it will be up
mother 20c a pound after January 1— a lot of us may take to
.•mutating the British and sip hot tea with our morning newspaper.
Actually, there's a lot to l>e said for hot tea sweetened with sugar
md honey. It's an invigorating drink, warming and brisk. It is
>imple to prepare, requiring, at the least, a pot of boiling water and
i tea bag. and. at the most a warmed teapot and a tea ball with loose
lea in it. plus boiling water. That's a lot less paraphernalia than most
■ >f us have for the preparation of our morning coffee. And it is
certainly a less expensive process than the use of fancy drip coffee
makers or percolators that are touted on television and in the
magazines. In addition it takes very little lime to boil a cup or two of
water in which to steep the tea to the desired color and strength.
So what would we have if we switched to tea? A quick,
inexpensive invigorating beverage. And a great thirst for that
incomparable, non pareil, matchless, wonderful waker upper —
'•offee!
Those of us who ordered citrus fruit from the Valley through the
anadian FFA several weeks ago got delivery on it last week and
• It as ir we had gotten a Christmas Bonus. The Ruby Red grapefruit
as, as usual, A 1. But the oranges were terrific. Sweet and juicy, of
ourse. as Texas oranges almost always are. Thin skinned, too

Washita Society of DAR presents program
for Comancheria Chapter here Tuesday
The Washita Society of the
C.A.R. presented a program for
the Comancheria Chapter of the
DAR Tuesday evening at the
Methodist Church. The pro-
gram was on Christmas
tradition. Christmas carols
were sung.
Shannon McDaniel. the
C.A.R. president, introduced
the program. Taking part were
Judy Rader, who played her
flute. Laura Morse. Betsy
Rader. Mary Alice Parnell,
Beth Ramp. Revis Ann Massey
and Melinda Varnell. The
Senior leader of the group is
Janet Parnell.
During the business session,
with A1'Louise Ramp presiding,
there was a discussion on the
Cemetery Catalogue which has
been completed under the
chairmanship of Juhree Carr. A
copy of the catalogue will be
presented to Warren Hill and to
the Public Library. All
Hemphill County cemeteries
and three in Wheeler county
have been catalogued. Another
catalogue encompassing the
remainder of the Wheeler
county cemeteries and those in
Lipscomb and Roberts counties
will be complied. This has been
a Bicentennial project of the
chapter.
The chapter has also
presented to the library a
geneological reference work in
four volumes. "A Roster of
Texas Ancestors".
The hostesses, Libby Barker.
Virginia Whipple and Toni
Watson, served cherry dessert,
spiced tea and coffee to those
named and to Wyvonne
McDaniel. Pat Wilson, Mary
Ann Ashley, Nancy Wilson.

which makes them especially desirable in my books. But these are
the biggest oranges I've ever seen—some of ours were actually
larger than some of the grapefruit, which were not small,
themselves. One orange easily serves two people for breakfast fruit,
in a salad, or sliced for dessert. And such good flavor!
At $8.00 a box this might well be the biggest food bargain of the
season.
The mother of a family relatively new to this community called
last week to ask for advice. Her child, she told me. is being harassed
by his classmates and last week suffered bodily injuries in a Tight as
h - finally, after much provocation, decided to fight it out. The
youngster dreads each day of school, not wishing to fight but only to
Jf alw>ut his normal activities without being hassled by his
classmates.
The mother has gone to the principal, to no avail. I suggested that
she visit with each schoolboard member and with the
superintendent and his assistant, stating her complaint and asking
for their help.
But I don t really think this should be necessary. No child should
be hassled in school. Each child should be able to come and go, take
pari in thosi- activities which interest him, have the encouragement
of teachers and principal, and have the respect of his fellow
students. And it should not take the intervention of a parent or
anyone outside the school to bring this about.
I had hoped that Canadian schools were becoming broad minded,
that a tolerance for individual interests and talents and abilities,
whether they be in the area of drama, music, art, athletics,
mathematics, crafts or any other field, was being cultivated. But I
am afraid I was wrong and the macho*thletic influence is still the
dominant force, more's the pity.
The glorious, wonderful thing about the human race is that we are
ill different. And the sad thing about the way we raise our children
s that we try to make each one conform, suppress his individuality.
In- like his peers, fit a mold.
