Most women know little about either buying or caring for good
cutlery.
Just because a knife blade is shiny, it isn't necessarily sharp, say
experts among the cutlers of Camillus, an upstate New York town
devoted principally to the manufacture of cutlery. Here are some
points they suggest as aids in buying knives:
1. Test the blade to see if it is really sharp.
2. Depend on well-known brand names. Most people do not un
derstand the technical markings on blades which indicate the qual
ity of steel.
3. Check the knife to see if the : handle is smooth, with no
cracks or crevices where dirt or grease can accumulate; if the blade
is properly set in the handle; if the knife is smoothly finished and
polished.
4. Avoid bargains. Good cutlery cannot be cheap.
It is just as important to give your knives proper care as it is
to buy good ones in the first place, say the cutlers. Knives should
be kept in a knife rack when pot in use not tossed in a drawer
with other kitchen tools.
There are two basically correct ways to sharpen a knife with
a sharpening stone or with a sharpening steeL
The best sharpening stone is one that has a fine and a coarse
side. Use a little water or a drop of oil on the stone when sharpen
ing a knife. Start with the coarse side. Hold the blade edge against
the stone at a 20 degree angle, edge facing away from you; push
the blade away from you, working the knife in a spiral against the
stone. Push hard on the s' oke away and easy on the back stroke
this prevents a rough edge. Repeat this motion on the reverse
side of the blade, this time pulling the blade toward you in a spiral
motion.
Repeat the process on the fine side of the stone, but do not
use as much pressure as you did on the coarse side. If you want an
ultra-fine edge, use a leather strop for finishing.
When using a sharpening steel, use no oil or water. Hold the
knife in one hand, the long, cylindrical steel in the other. Place
blade edge on steel at a slight angle.! Start the base of the blade
at the tip of the steel and stroke edge with medium pressure to
ward the base of the steeL Place reverse edge on under side of
steel and again draw from tip to edge. Alternate blade edges un
til knife feels sharp and clean.

Lives Quiet; but Busy Life
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON - Mrs. Martin
P. Durkin, wife of the Secretary
of Labor, was having curtain
troubles and was anxious to get
home from the reception of cabi
net officials. . "The drapes from
our old house don't fit the win
dows of our new apartment, and
I'm having a time of it," she con
fided. The Durkins, both middlewest
erners, have lived in Washington
11 years. They, have just moved
into a modern air-conditioned
three-bedroom apartment from a
roomy, two-story . uburban home.
"Timmy, our eldest grandson
doesn't approve of the new
place," Mrs. Durkin told me. "He
says disappointedly, 'now we can't
go downstairs,' but the maid and
I like it fine for just that rea
son.'' n
! Mrs. Durkin, a pleasant, soft
voiced woman with nice brown
eyes, said she was never one to
enjoy the party whirl and that
her serious-minded, non-smoking,
non-drinking husband has always
shunned the "night life." They
limit their social engagements to
a necessary few. j
The .former steamfitter from
Chicago and his wife were mar
ried in. 1S2L They live about the
same kind of life they did when
he became president of the Unit
ed Association of Plumbers and
Steamfitters, American Federa
tion of Labor (AFL), except that
now they have to economize a
little on luxuries. His salary as
secretary of : $22,500. The AFL
paid him $30,000.
Work at Home
One of the bedrooms in the
new apartment has been convert-'
ed into a den, complete with li
brary, TV, radk) and telephone
as well as a huge picture window
overlooking a park. Here Durkin
spends his evenirgs going over
papers or reading speeches he
has to make "We know all his
speeches by heart," Mrs. Durkin
said.
Son Jack, 20, who will take the
vow of silence at a Trappist mon
astery at Dubuque, la, this falL
studic in his room to complete
his courses at the Devitt School
kerej
Jack; whose paintings deco
rate the walls of the living room
with; its French Provincial fur
nishings, is following a family
tradition. "Six of Dur kin's cous
ins took holy orders," Mrs. Dur
kin said. 'One of bis sisters is
a min." ! ' -
The other Durkin boys, Martin,
30, and William, '29, graduate en
gineers from Catholic University
heref are married and in business
in Washington. Every Saturday
night .without fail they, their
pretty wives and children, Tim
my, land Terry, and Mary and
Billy, join the family circle.
rOur dining room is the most
Important room in the house,"
Mrs.1 Durkin laughed. "I can seat
12 it the table. There will be
just! enough room for the new
grandchild we're expecting this

its first real vacation in 12 years
