She loves him, he's a great guy but he drinks a great deal too much, she thinks. She certainly couldn t abide a husband who was so close to being alcho- lic. Can she make him so happy with her that he will not feel the need of alcohol? can she help him "taper down to being merely a soc ial drinker? Here at the American In stitute of Family Relations in Perk Up Creamed Onions With Curry New York UPD Vary the creamed onion routine with the tang of curry. Peel and cook 1V4 pounds small white onions in boiling salted water until tender.

Games, puzzles and activity ideas for the entire family are outlined in a new book, "The Complete Family Fun Book," by Phyllis Cerf and Edith Young. The book has been added to the Medford public library. Potato Chip Spread New York (UPD A creamy spread for serving with hot potato chips is made by blend ing 1 cup sour cream with Vi cup catsup, 1 tablespoon an chovy paste, 1 three-ounce can of salmon paste and the juice and finely grated rind of 2 limes. Los Angeles, we receive many inquiries about such lost week end lovers: are they good mar riage-material? Will they ever outgrow their habit-patterns? Are they, in short, good risks? The individual who drinks to excess is a person with a serious personality adjustment problem. A man (or woman) who drinks excessively some times is one who wants "moth ering." He has regressed. Of ten he marries a woman with a pronounced mother-urge, and unwittingly she becomes partially responsible for his continued alcoholism. Or sometmes the alcholic is a hos tile person who attempts to solve, his hostility by escaping through drink. Many women flatter them selves by thinking they can reform on alcoholic, because they do not know the nature of alcoholism. True alcoholism requires far more skilled treatment and understanding than most of us can give. It requires medical and psycho logical care, patience, and well-directed sympathy, in the right amount and at the correct time. Blame, criticism, nagging the tools that are sometimes used are ineffec tive. The case usually calls for trained treatment in the hands of a specialist. In any case of alcoholism, the basic cause of the trouble must be isolated. Why does Tim drink? And why does it affect him so adversely? Is his problem emotional, chem ical, psychological, or a com bination of these? Only with proper diagnosis can proper treatment follow. But after Tim's "cure", asks Tina, can he become a social drinker without fear of relapse? According to most authori ties, the answer is no. Tim must avoid situations which will lead him back along the way he has just travelled. A true alcoholic must never drink. Alcoholics Anonymous aid in this rehabilitation pro cess, as do many churches. An understanding family or wife can help also. But the job is long, and Tina should be fully aware that such a marriage is subject to tremendous strains and that it may lead to com plicated, if no intolerable situations. Washing Tips For Diapers Philadelphia (UPD The diaper service industry, con fident it has grown out of its short pants, now dares tell mother how to wash her baby's diapers at home. Of course the implication remains that no matter how well mother does it, the dia pers won't be as clean or san itary as if they had been washed professionally. The industry's organization with headquarters here, says that even using their ppinters mother can't duplicate exact ly "the fourteen steps taken by the professional diaper service to insure clean, germ free, antiseptic-treated dia pers." The diaper industry, after due consideration for its busi ness future and the public re lations effect on millions of mamas, says this is what should be done with soiled diapers: Keep them in a tightly closed container filled with soap or disinfectant solution until you are ready to wash them. Rinse diapers in clear, cool water, then place them in automatic washer or laundry tub. A maximum load of 17 diapers is suggested for best results in home" equipment. Wash diapers in at least three sudsings. Use maximum amount of soap or detergent. Use water softener if nec essary. Bleaching "an important step in the scientific diaper service process" - can be risky. Add the minimum bleach necessary to the third sudsing. Five to seven separate rins es are necessary to eliminate any residue of soap or deter gent. Boil diapers for at least 20 minutes. Allow to cool in cov ered containers. Wash your hands before removing cooled diapers, Hand wring. Treat with antiseptic. Hand wring. Dry for at least one hour at high temperatures in auto matic dryer or hang in sun. Store in clean, dust-free place. If this program drives mother to the arms of the pro fessional diaper services . . well, maybe that's what they intended all along. Linen and damask table cloths will not wear or be come soiled at the folds if they are rolled on a pole or window-shade roller when put away. Wrap in tissue paper before storing.
