something some some- thing that would restore the brightness brightness bright bright- ness to the inside of my aluminum ware ware every every time I boil anything in them it discolors them I 1 was tol toll tolu t to try Dutch Cleanser but I 1 am afraid it would scratch them The Tre Inside of my teakettle has turned black If you can help me any I will surely appreciate it it Also may I add a little more I Iwas Iwas was was in the Salvation Army building with a lady friend a few days ago when when-an when an old man came in He was out of work and his clothes were very shabby There were were big holes visible in both stockings He walked around and picked up an old pair of socks taking them to the He handed them to the lady and when she aSI asked ed a nickel for them he told her that he was out of work find and did not have any money And she said t talking as sarcastically sarcastically sarcastically sarcas sarcas- as possible I I dont don't mind giving you the stockings but you should ask me first Miss Blair I dont don't th think that tl-jat any woman should talk to a man of his years that way WitY And was she be bestowing bestowing be be- stowing some great honor even if he had asked Wasn't everything there given Biven to them It is quite true that they must pay for the building rent etc but why the airs I have always donated to the Salvation Army but far be it from fromme me to do donate donate donate do- do nate to such an organization as again If I have things to give again I 1 will hunt out the needy poor myself myself myself my my- self and give it myself so that it wont won't be sold to them A REFORMED REFORM ED GIVER Dutch Cleanser Cleans er should not harm your aluminum as aF steel wool is suggested as a polisher along with whiting powdered chalk chall moistened v with alcohol These however should pot not be necessary except where the he stains or discolorations are of long longstanding longi i standing Hot water and soap are ae saP that are necessary for everyday use u e. e 1 r Did you ou know that darken darken dark dark- en aluminum and that acid foods clean J dean and brighten Vegetables Vegetable for tor example will discolor it while fruits and acid foods brighten and cl clean an it It t should never be put to 8 ak with soda water and it ls la Is l most easily cleaned with dilute such as rhubarb lemon or 1 tomato mato In fact after atter cooking any of these foods In an an aluminum pan 1 the pan is as al bright t as when new f 55 Your comments bring home to ua us the tragedy that is all around That 1 any tny one individual could become so hardened so inconsiderate so rude as the one you ou mentioned seems seem incredible and yet you ou must not think that the institution Is rE responsible re- re for the ignorant selfishness selfishness selfish selfish- ness of one person in Its employ k The Salvation Arm Army is famous for its generosity and its good dee and it reaches people that otherwise would go entirely for The woman in charge most certainly needed a severe rebuke because kindness is the first essential in dealing with anyone anyone and its lack shows a selfishness and tactlessness that is Such a per person per per- s eon son n should find work for herself where she will not be call called d upon to come in contact with people unless un- un un-S un less they are her superiors to tow w whom om she would not dare dare show her disagreeable tendencies Again let me stress the point though that the Salvation Army cannot be blamed In all aU probability probability probability proba proba- if this incident had been re re- to one of the head heads the wo- wo t man man to say the least would be be 4 I tI I made to regret her action And one I more mOIe thing promiscuous promiscuous' giving without cost to the receiver r brings In its wake evils than you imagine A small cost such as the nickel for the pair pall of socks ha has value many times that of the trifling amount This charge allows the purchaser to maintain self-respect self it l keeps charity from sinking to the level of ot pauperizing those who must receive aid temporarily and you will find that where actual need is felt the charge is forgotten and the wants wants ant are taken care of Most of us are not consciously unkind even this woman may not have realized how her remark sounded or how it may have wounded wounded wounded wound wound- ed the already hurt or saddened spirit of the old man but truly that thatIs Is no excuse We Ve should learn to think J FIRST and speak or act af afterward afterward at af- instead of reversing the process Dont Don't go back on the Army because they reach sufferers suffer suffer- ers whom you could never hope to discover but too help wherever you ou can and in any ny way in which you ou can because there are many many people who need assistance even if it is only a w word rd of encouragement encouragement en- en that we never think about if we go go serenely along with thoughts thoughts' only for our OUI own wants But remember But remember that the mos most generous generous generous gen gen- gen gen- erous of all ways of ot helping is this HELP THEM THEl TO
