LEARN ABCS OF STAIN REMOVAL
FOR EFFICIENCY-PLUS ON WASHDAY
by the
/ General EJeilric Consumers Institute
On laundry day, Mrs. Homemaker,
you’re a long way from the era of set
tubs and scrub boards. Automatic wash
ers and dryeffs have taken much of the
manual labor out of laundering.
But even with the most efficient laun
dry equipment, there are some washday
jobs that demand your personal atten
tion before the washer begins its work.
And one of the most important is
the removal of spots and stains from
garments and linens.
All clothes should be checked for
stains at the time the soiled laundry is
being so'ted. Stains should be removed
before clothes are washed — or the
stains may become even worse (and all
but impossible to get out later).
bleach with a mild bleach or hydrogen
peroxide.
NONWASHABLES—Sponge with hydro
gen peroxide.
Cocoa, Chocolate, Coffee, Tea
WASHABLES—Wash in soapy water and.
if stain persists, bleach with a mild bleach or
hydrogen peroxide.
NONWASHABLES — Sponge with warm
water and, if grease spot remains, remove
with carbon tetrachloride.*
Cod Liver Oil
WASHABLES—Pour glycerine or one t>#
the soaplafes shampoos on the fresh stain. Rub
lightly between the hands to loosen the stain.
Rinse well in cold water, then wash in warm
soapsuds.
NONWASHABLES—Place a pad under
the stained portion and apply carbon tetra
chloride* liberally. Sponge with warm, soapy
water.
Trait
WASHABLES—Pour boiling water through
the stain from a height of 3 to 4 feet. Do not
use soap. For old stains—rub the stain well
with glycerine or a soapless shampoo, let
stand for several hours,- then treat with boil
ing water, as above.
NONWASHABLES—Spread the garment
over a bowl filled with hot, steaming water,
to which a few drops of ammonia have been
added; then apply hydrogen peroxide from a
medicine dropper at 5-minute intervals until
as much of stain as possible has been removed.
Grass
WASHABLES—Use a warm solution, and
rub the spot between the fingers. If stain re
mains. bleach with a mild bleach.
NONWASHABLES—Sponge with a solu
tion of denatured alcohol and water in equal
proportions until stain has been removed.
Perspiration
WASHABLES—Sponge stained part with
warm water to which a few drops of vinegar
have been added. Sprinkle powdered pepsin
or (.jiving soda over the stain; work it well
into the cloth, and let stand 1 to 2 hours,
keeping the stain moist. Brush off powder
and rinse well. Sometimes, color can be re?
stored by dampening (he stain with water,
and holding the stain over the fumes from an
open ammonia bottle.
NONWASHABLES—The odor can often
be removed by sponging lightly with Listerinc.

Team Airlifted From
Tennessee to Alaska
BIG DELTA, Alaska, {JP) —
Despite 24 hours of steady snow,
“Operation Long Haul,” air-lifting
the 503rd Airborne Regimental
Combat Team from Stewart Air

Big Delta strip every 30 minutes
Friday.
Paratroopers who arrived be
fore snow closed down the air
lift are setting up camp four miles
from here, pitching Arctic tents
in six inches of snow. They are
building temporary shelters for
rations and equipment with the
branches and evergreen boughs
cut from thick forests which sur
round the bivouac site.
Along roads and trails near the
camp, paratroopers are practicing
skiing and handling of boat-type
sleds used to carry heavy equip

Three Alaskans
Awarded Carnegie
Hero Citations
PITTSBURGH, (JP) — A fisher
man and two teen-age schoolgirls
received Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission citations Friday.
Citation recipients were Thom
as F. Allain, 34, a commercial
fisherman, C. Marie Mork, 13, and
her sister, Betty M. Mork, 16, all
of Pelican City, Alaska.
The citation tells how, on Nov.
18, 1950, the trio saved the life of
Helvig S. Christensen, 45, whose
trolling boat ran aground on a
reef on Cross Sound during a vio
lent gale near Yakobi Island.
Christensen’s crew drowned.
Allain set out for the reef with
the two girls in his fishing boat
for Christensen, pelted by waves
and winds which caked him with
ice and numbed him as he clung
to a rock ledge 10 feet above the
water.
In poor visibility some 300 feet
from Christensen, Allain’s craft
also grounded. He set out in a
small boat, rescued Christensen
from his icy rock perch and man
euvered the storm-tossed craft
back to the fishing boat.
Water was rising in the bilge.
The propeller was damaged badly, j
While Allain was engaged in res
cuing Christensen, Marie pumped
water out with a hand pump and
Betty operated the steering wheel
to keep the boat from drifting
broadside to the swells.
The girls helped Allain lift
Christensen aboard. Allain piloted
the boat back to safety while the
girls kept pumping steadily.
Christensen was hospitalized
two months. His lower legs and
the tips of two fingers were am
putated.
Scene of the rescue was about
70 miles west of Juneau.
