L WEDNESDAY. WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER By BERNICE STRAWN Oregon Stalt Univeriity More leisure time (or to day's homemakers that's what some people say. But many of the women we know don't agree. "What leisure?" asked a mother of two lively pre-schoolers. True, there is less manual labor for homemakers today, but time is still pressing for young mothers and women who work outside the home. There's much more to know now, more to decide, more to manage, if you're going to keep a smooth-running home. And what aboul all the com munity organizations! They take time too. Being an up-to-date con summer is no small matter when you face the fact that half the products on the groc ery shelf weren't there a few years ago. Take detergents, for in stance. You'll find from 50 to 100 different brands and pack age sizes on the market shelves. One of the newest is the detergent tablet, some times lightly called "elephant aspirin." What about the price, we are asked. And do they get clothes clean? First, the cost. Ounce for ounce, these ready-measured products will cost you a few pennies more than the granu lar product. But since some women waste detergent by not measuring, they may end up at about (he same price per wash load in the long run. There are also homemakers who use too little granular detergent and are disappoint ed in their results. A pre- measured product will help get the right amount and bet ter results. As for getting clothes clean, the tablets do To Secretaries Remind the boss that learn ing to dance at an Arthur Murray Studio il good eier cise and tun. 320 E.

It's free. At this time of year we get calls about window cleaning after a season of lawn spray ing. Water spots due to min erals seem to have "squatters rights. There is no one answer, be cause it all depends on which minerals are in your water. Sometimes the glass is actual ly etched and the only solu tion is to replace it. Perhaps one of these ideas will work for you. First, we 11 assume you ve already tried the standby remedies - ammonia, vinegar, or commercial window clean ers. Next, try powdered water softener or conditioner the kind that doesn't form a scum. Don't use any other cleaner with it. If this fails, sprinkle a little rust reiriover powder on a wet cloth and apply a little elbow grease. You'll find several brands of rust remov ers in shaker cans in super markets. Some people have successfully cleaned these mineral deposits with kero sene and water. Happy ex perimenting! Smart Homemakera Tell Ui: To clean narrow neck vases which can't be washed with a dishcloth or bottle brush, give this Idea a whirl. Put a few grains of raw rice in the vase with warm suds and shake well. The friction will loosen the soil. Do this twice. Empty and rinse. Finally, "sweeten" it with a little baking soda in the rinse water. If a zipper gels stubborn, rub it with a bar of soap. This lubricates the track, makes fastener glide smoothly.
