While this helps ease the work of the hostess, it also brings mixed blessings. By using paper plates, cups and napkins, she cuts down on dishwashing but is faced with a trash disposal problem. If she burns the items in an outdoor incinerator, the smoke and odor will be unpleasant. If she postpones burning, the trash is unsightly and will quickly attract annoying in sects. This, says the American Gas 'Association, is where an auto matic smokeless-odorless gas incinerator proves a boon. The host or hostess merely gathers up the used paper ware and drops it in the gas incinerator. There's no fuss or bother and no smoke or odor to contend with. The patio is spic and span in minutes. Garbage, too, can be burned right along with the other items. Since a gas incinerator is in stalled indoors, it serves the family all year long, consuming garbage and refuse at the home owner's convenience. There is never any need to wait for ideal weather for burning or empty ing.
