Get NESBITT'S at Your Favorite GROCER f F -THEY'VE SotH iX Women Discover Tool Chest; Blow Torch Browns Meringue By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York ;U.R; A woman daintily spread meringue over a mound of ice cream recently, struck a match to something re sembling a blow torch, and browned- the dessert before her audience of astonished males. The dessert was called baked Alaska. The demonstration was the latest example of what hap pends when a woman gets inter ested in her husband's do-it-yourself tool chest. Women continue to confound the booming do-it-yourself indus- i .u..:.. :nn..:4... rri I iry wiin Liifii ingenuity, iiiey not only get creait lor initiating Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Hollywood HU.R) Back in the '40s one of the reigning sensa tions in movies was an energetic Puerto Rican singer namea Olga San Juan. After seven years off the screen, fiery Olga re turns to, show b u s i n ess on television to night. Aline Mosbr Olga was one actress who meant it when she announced she'd give up work for a While to tend to her mar riage. After she was wed to ac tor Edmund O'Brien, Olga ap peared on Broadway in "Paint Your Wagon" and then dropped out of show business. At home she's been busy with their two daughters, Maria 6, and Bridget, 7. And she hasn't rolled her big, hazel eyes in front of a movie camera, since "The ' Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend" in 1949. Guest Appearance Set But Olga launches her come back by doing a guest appear ance on TV's "The Rosemary Clooney Show." aired tonight in many cities. ; "I've been busy at home watching the children, and watching Ed's career," said Olga, rounder but otherwise un changed from her years of being a housewife. Curiously, she appeared shy and nervous about being inter viewed again after all . those years of privacy. "Eddie has his own production company now and he's been very active since he won the Academy Award," she went on, steering the conversation to her husband. "And me? Oh, I took the kids to school for a while, until I made them so late I had to put them on the school bus. Then my husband is a great lover of people and he likes having friends around for barbecues on Sunday. Friendship Mentioned "Maybe I'm lazy. I just never did anything about working. Then Rosemary Clooney asked me to do this show she's a friend of mine. She married a Puerto Rican and so did Eddie!" she laughed. TV has revived the careers of many another entertainer who quit for various reasons but was lured back by the big video money. And TV can use Olga. Many an armchair critic com plains the same guests keep showing up on shows around the dial. And although Olga is a quiet, sweet girl in person, she changes to an exciting enter tainer when she gets in front of that television camera. "I've been taking voice les sons all these years," she said. "I'd like to do some dramatic shows, too, but I won't tour in clubs again. a high percentage of the repair ana rebuilding projects around the home, but now they have pointed the way to new uses for carpentry tools. Ice Cream Melted A suburban housewife came up with the idea of browning that baked Alaska with a pro pane gas torch. She had trouble getting the dessert browned quickly enough in her oven to prevent the ice cream from melting. Then she spotted the torch in the tool chest. The directions suggested using it to remove old putty or paint, to lay asphalt tile or patch a gutter leak. "I thought right away of the baked Alaska," she told the ex ecutives of the Otto Bernz com pany, who make the torch and invited the woman over for a demonstration after they heard her story. The searing blue flame from the lightweight torch browned the dessert without melting the ice cream. Now, without trying to figure out the feminine reasoning that led to this discovery, the torch makers plan to add a cooking page to their demonstration booklet.- Drills Polish Furniture v Other manufacturers 1 have discovered that women are will ing to try any kind of a gadget if they think it has labor-saving possibilities for household tasks. They've learned to use elec tric, drills,' made for drilling holes in walls or woodwork, to polish furniture. A special at tachment and pad fitted onto the end turns the drill into a rotary buffer. One manufacturer now puts out the home tool kit formerly designed for a man's workshop in a kitchen wall cabinet design ed so women will have the tools within easy reach. "This is not limited to the average income housewife alone," a do-it-yourself industry spokesman said. "We find wom en whose husbands earn $15,000 a year and up buying these tool chests. It is not just economy that causes their interests. The real reason is that they can't get anyone to come and do these carpentry jobs around the .house." On Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dubuque of 207 North Holly street will leave today for a vacation in Yakima, Wash., and Portland. In Yakima the couple will visit Mr. Dubuque's sister, Mrs. Jack Stratton and later they will visit relatives in Portland. They plan to return home by the coast route. mm mm Enough in 25 Minutes for 3 Showers With the New lirmV "' Reg. $129.95 VALUE : 1 P ca I r - 1 S(M95 NOW SPECIAL Upright 52 Gallon CITY APPLIANCE, Inc. 127 No. Central Ave. Across From Penney's Phone 3-5306 Camp Announced For Homemakers The annual homemakers camp for extension unit members will be held at Camp Grayback July 8 to July 13 according to infor mation received from Mrs. Riz pah A.
