DE AR HENRIETTA - A few months ago I cleaned some
black marks off the canvas on a deck chair that had a black
painted design by CAREFL LLY sponging on a mixture of
water and chlorine bleach
An often recommended remedy for scorch marks is to
dampen the marks with a cloth with peroxide on it, cover the
area with a dry cloth and press with an iron as hot as is safe
for the material Rinse well. Deep scorch cannot be removed.

DEAR POLLY My Pet Peeve is with the lack of informa
tion on clothes sold in thrift shops It would be such a help if
the donors would sew on tags with the sizes before they give
their clothes away I am in my seventies and like many others
on limited budgets I wear used clothing JOSEPHINE
DEAR POLLY - I want to tell Connie how my brother has
mounted his collection of over 12.000 matchbook covers He
used plaster boards that measure 4x8 feet Stretch fine pic-
ture or broom wire across a board and thumbtack it at the
ends The rows could be spaced as one desires but we like
them about two and a half inches apart Close the covers over
the wire and they hang perfectly The various kinds of
matchbook covers should be grouped together such as hotels
restaurants funeral homes etc - ETHEL
DEAR POLLY - To help humidify the air in winter when it
gets do dry I open my dishwasher on the dry cycle to let out
the steam This also helps the dishes dry faster and saves on
electricity
To make my glass cookie jar airtight I added some leftover
rubber stripping from doors around the edge of the lid Now
the cookies stay fresh longer KIM
DEAR POLLY - I just read in your column about remov ing
candle wax from furniture If 1 read you right you first
suggested using a fingernail or dull knife for removing the ex-
cess wax Not on our wood surface you would not A wooden
spatula does the job and there is no danger of scratching fine
surfaces Works on tile floors, too 1 would suggest this remedy
first before using fingernails or dull knives 1 enjoy your
columns and find useful hints but this is not one of them — at
least not to me — BILL
DEAR BILL - What one thinks best is not always the best
for someone else. I have used my fingernails (not long pointed
ones) or a dull knife for more years than I like to admit and on
fine antiques and have not scratched one yet - POLLY
DEAR POLLY - I make a lot of pants suits and instead of
buying elastic to go in the pants 1 use the elastic bands from
old pantyhose They last longer than new elastic that comes in
packages - KIT

Dear Dr. Thosteson: I was
operated on recently for diver-
ticulosis. 1 stil have some of the
outpouchings in the intestines
and get pain when I eat certain
foods. I am deeply worried as to
what I can really eat.
What are the bulky foods to
eat to be sure I get sufficient fi-
ber? Should I avoid nuts and
corn? - M. S.
I’m afraid I can't be very
helpful from the skietchy infor-
mation you provide. The point
in publishing your letter is to
scold you and other post-sur-
gery patients who decide to
proceed blindly into an uncer-
tain future without consulting
their doctors.
The advice you seek should
have been provided to you If it
wasn’t your doctor might take a
bit of scolding as well. No
physician is so busy that he
can’t give a few words of advice
about such an important matter
as diet, especially after surgery
involving the intestines.
The fact is that you don't have
to go out of your way to find
fiber foods. Most cooked fruits
and vegetables provide it in un-
objectionable form. But I
suspect your doctor will tell you
to avoid the nuts, bran and corn
as a bit too high in fiber for you
at this time
I hope you don’t decide to per-
petuate this medical iron
curtain between yourself and
professional advice. You can
contact any hospital dietitian or
a dietitian from Visiting Nurses
Association Either could for-
mulate a suitable diet for you.
In any event, your doctor’s
consultation will be needed,
since he is the only one who
really knows the present status
of your intestines You may
want to read what I have to say
further about diverticulosis in
my booklet on the subject. If so,
send 25 cents and a stamped,
self-addressed envelope to me
in care of this newspaper.
Dear Dr. Thosteson: My
daughter is seven. For three
years she has had frequent
episodes of vomiting for no
apparent reason. First she
becomes tired and nauseous.
Then after vomiting two or
three times she will sleep for
about two hours. When she
awakes she Is perfectly fine.
Low blood sugar has been
suggested as a cause, and I've
been told to give her extra
sweets like chocolate between
meals. Then I’ve heard that a
high-protein diet with no sweets
is correct. Can you clear this up
for me? She is small for her age,
but is otherwise healthy. — Mrs.
M. R
I would not accept the
hypoglycemia idea (low blood
sugar! at this point, certainly
not unless careful tests have
established it as a cause
Vomiting is not a symptom of
hypoglycemia. Low blood sugar
is not common at her age.
The chronic vomiting sug-
gests a serious emotional,
allergic or intestinal disorder
that requires immediate atten-
tion. If this had gone on for
three years it could be causing
her lack of physical growth
An overfunctioning pancreas
can cause low blood sugar at
any age, and if tests show her
blood sugar low that would have
to be looked into
Finally, snacks of sweets are
not the treatment for low blood
sugar High protein ones would
be in order.
But all the rumors and
medical gossip you’re listening
to aren’t doing her any good
Have her thoroughly examined
Dear Dr. Thosteson: We have
been using bleach in the rinse
water when we wash dishes in
order to sterilize them. Is there
any possibility that the bleach
residue on the dishes could be
toxic or bad for health in any
way? No one seems to know the
answer. — J. C. S.
Not advisable. Bleaches con-
tain hypochlorites. Even small
amounts over a period can be
toxic. There need not be any
obvious or dramatic symptoms
of poisoning I suggest you
settle for nothing but good hot
rinse water
Low blood sugar is often the
cause of faintness, headaches,
visual and emotional disturb-
ances To learn how it can be
identified and brought under
control, write to Dr Thosteson,
in care of this newspaper, for a
copy of Help for Hypogly-
cemia," enclosing a long
self-addressed, stamped en-
velope and 35 cents
Dr Thosteson welcomes
reader mail but regrets that,
due to the tremendous volume
received daily, he is unable to
answer individual letters Read-
ers’ questions are incorporated
in his column whenever
possible.

A Word
About
Worms
An absence of earthworms in
lawn and garden soil can be an
indicator of low soil fertility
Scientists believe that earth-
worms flourish in well-drained
soils of good fertility, and that,
although they have other bene-
fits, they do not increase
fertility
Earthworms do aid in con-
verting organic matter to humus.
Canceled By
Pressure
NEW YORK (UPI) - Gener-
al Motors says It found nothing
objectionable in the two-part
NBC television drama, "Jesus
of Nazareth," but the giant
automaker bowed to pressure
from fundamentalist Protest-
ants and dropped sponsorship
of the program
A GM spokesman said
Monday the firm "decided not
to exercise its option to sponsor
the television special." He said
the decision reflects our
conclusion that commercial
sponsorship could be regarded
as inappropriate to the subject
of the film. We continue to
admire its purpose and artistic
merit."
NBC said it was trying to line
up new sponsorship for the six-
hour production scheduled for
broadcast on Palm and Easter
Sundays
A national fundamentalist
protest began when the Rev
John Dekker, pastor of Cub Hill
Bible Presbyterian Church of
Baltimore, urged listeners on
his radio program, "In Defense
of Truth," to complain to NBC
and General Motors of a
"misrepresentation of Jesus."
Dekker said he had "never
seen the thing," but he
launched the appeal because
producer Franco Zeffirelli al-
legedly said of the film, "the
public has never wanted to
accept Jesus as a man but only
as a God . "
"We believe that if we’re
going to have a representation
of Christ at Easter, let’s have
the Christ of Scripture rather
than the Christ ot Zeffirelli,”
Dekker said.
The NBC production features
an all-star cast with Anne
Bancroft, Ernest Borgnine,
Claudia Cardinale, James
Farentino, James Earl Jones,
Stacy Keach, James Mason,
Laurence Olivier. Christopher
Plummer, Anthony Quinn,
Ralph Richardson, Rod Steiger
and Peter Ustinov.
While withdrawing financial
backing, GM still voiced
support for the film. People
who wrote GM President E.M.
Estes protesting the sponsor-
ship of the special received a
letter saying:
"We have reviewed the film
in General Motors and have
found nothing in it to support a
belief that it denies the deity of
Jesus or is in any way
blasphemous or otherwise un-
suitable.”
The U.S Catholic Conference,
meanwhile, said, "The rumor
being spread by perhaps well
intentioned groups that the ...
program, Jesus of Nazareth,’
denies the divinity of Christ
seems entirely without substan-
ce.”

TV in
By JOAN HANAUER
UPI Television Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) - "The
Deadliest Season" uses profes-
sional ice hockey as the
backdrop for a fast-paced,
moving television drama about
ambition, frustration, goals and
guilt.
It's important to underscore
the fine quality of this show
high up, because there are
many viewers who might be so
turned off by a show about
hockey that they wouldn’t tune
it in. And they would be
missing one of the dramatic
highlights of the season, and
one of the best performances.
The two-hour drama, which
CBS will broadcast March 18, 9-
11 p.m., Eastern time, centers
on professional hockey player
Gerry Miller, enacted with
immense sympathy, concentra-
tion and force by Michael
Moriarty
Miller, slow of mind but not
unintelligent, is a mediocre
player and he knows it. When
he is sent down to the minors
for not being sufficiently
aggressive, he decides to take a
friend’s advice and “give them
what they want."
He becomes a "goon," the
team "enforcer," the bullyboy
who doesn't mind injuring the
opponent's star player to get
him off the ice His team brings
him back and he becomes a
hero. They call him "the
penalty killer," although he
keeps telling people that’s an
incorrect use of the term. Then
he really does kill someone and
is brought to trial for man-
slaughter
Moriarty goes from bewilder-
ment and anger and frustration
to final self-knowledge and the
realization that a man must
accept responsibility for his
actions - even If they were
encouraged by authority and
society
Moriarty's taut performance
is backed up by other fine
players Kevin Conway, last
seen on television as Dave
Powers in "Johnny, We Hardly
Knew Ye," portrays the de-
fense attorney with compassion
and depth, and an actress with
the unlikely name of Meryl
Streep is understanding and
supportive as the hockey
player's wife.
Special guest performances
— little more than drop-ins -
by Patrick O’Neal as an
unscrupulous and successful
Review
attorney and Andrew Duggan
as Moriarty’s angry and
insensitive father, add to the
Interest.
Since good writing on televi-
sion is much scarcer than fine
acting, Ernest Kinoy deserves
credit for an exceptional
screenplay.
Professional hockey, inciden-
tally. takes quite a beating here
on the violence rap, as a game
that has grown vicious in
pursuit of profit, according to
the script.
The villains are the sport and
the men who profit from it,
and, incidentally, the fans who
demand blood and enjoy other
men’s pain. The players are not
heroes - more like pawns.
But in the larger sense, this
is a play with a moral about
individual conscience Follow-
ing orders does not relieve a
person of responsibility for his
acts. The film also makes good
watching as it switches from
the whirling speed of the game
to the emotional suspense of the
courtroom.
Boom In Divorces
Tapering Off Since 'SO
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
divorce boom that began in the
mid-1960s is tapering off al-
though the number at divorces
continues to rise, the govern-
ment cays
The National Center for
Health Statistics said in a
provisional report Monday that
an estimated 1,077,000 divorces
last year was 51,000 more than
in 1973, but the rate of increase
was less than half the peak
It said the average annual
increase in the divorce rate
was 11.5 per cent from 1968 to
1972 ; 7 3 per cent from 1972 to
1973; and about 4.5 per cent
since then
But both the annual number
and rate of divorces have
doubled since 1966, the report
said
The center is an agency of
the Department of Health.
Education and Welfare.

thus helping improve soil tilth
Their tunnels, or burrows, help
aerate compacted soil, and im-
prove water movement, accord-
ing to The Fertilizer Institute
But evidence indicates that
instead of increasing soil fertility,
earthworms serve to decrease
nutrient content slightly as they
digest nutrients which pass
through their systems.
So, if lawn and garden soil is
low in earthworm numbers, soil
fertility is likely low also a
good indication that additional
fertilizers are necessary for de-
sired plant growth
Now you're closer to obsolescence than to adolescence!"
