By BERNICE STRAWN
Oregon State University
With t h a rnminrr nf rnnl
weather, children and coloring
books move indoors. Crayons
and rugs don't make for a happy
relationship. Treat stains imme
diately with a small amount of
dry cleaning fluid and blot with
tissues. Keep this up until no
more crayon shows on the tis
sues. '.
Next, mix one teaspoon light
duty detergent with one cup
warm water and sponge small
amounts on the strain. Blot af
ter each application. When spot
is gone, put several layers of
tissue over the area and weight
down with a stack of books for
about Six hours. Rpnlaro with

fatal accidents is caused by a teen-age driver!
DRIVERS! DON'T HURRY when you drive! We may
as well face it! We cannot reduce traffic casual
