Guest Editorial--"Alcoholism
In The Nation's Capilal"
if peol)le do not believe that
alcoholism is a prohlem in tile
nation's capital they will be-
gin to realize it when they
learn that there are between
60 and 70 groups of "Alcoholics
Anonymous" meeting in the
area. in addition, there are 27
Al-Anon Family groups meet-
ing every week plus 6 groups
of A/ateens which have regu-
lar weekly meetings.
That there should be a vast
amount of alcoholism in the
greater Washington area may
be well understood when one

consults the "Yellow Pages".
There are listed: 142 Beet' Re-
tailers, 53 Beer Wholesalers
;50 Cocktail Lounges, 27 Ta-
verns, 552 Liquor Stores.
This list does not include any
of the hundreds of grocery
stores, markets and supermar-
solddB a otwuoty.lt- gC,
kets, where beer and wine
are sold. Nor does it include
many of the hundreds of clubs
and restaurants where alcoho-
lic beverages are sold.
There are around 1400 res-
taurants listed in the "Yellow
Pages" for the greater Wash-
ington area. A fair esti/nate
would be that at least 1000 of
these phlces also serve alco-
holic beverages.
In adition there are an es-
timated 22,000 cocktail parties
in the l)istrict of Columbia
each year.
With all these places where
alcoholic beverages are sold or
served is it any wonder that so
~many A. A. and A1Anon
groups are needed? This says
noIlfing at all about those
treal.cd in public and private
alcoholic clinics, nor about the
thousands of "hidden" alcoho-
lics who are uuder some sort
of medical or psychiatric care.
The more one studies the
ramifications of alcoholism,
the more one realizes that it is
indeed one of tile major health
~roblems of this generation.

We ate lunch together and she

Rally in the party room•
Before Saturday Night
Before Saturday nighl, my
time was spent mostly in bed
at the home of my son and
daughter, Bus and Mary. 1
had some other pleasant inter-
ludes. Neighbors and friends
visited me and brought "Get
well" gifts. I had lovely flow-
ers, canned fruit, preserves,
doughnuts, candy, toilet arti-
cles, cookies, dilly bread, etc.
My son and daughter, Mcl)ill
& Marie, came from Phillips
burg to see me twice. Mcl)ill
told me that all I needed was
to get back to the Record of
fice and go to work. So I am
here at the Record ofice this
Monday morning. But will con-
fess that Mary will have to
shoulder most of the work f(n'
a while, I should have learned
a long while ago that when
a person finds that it takes
longer to get rested than it
took to get tired-they had bet-
ter stop before they get too
tired. I kept going after
I became to() tired. There are
always compensations. - In ad-
dition to friends visiting me,
and my son and daughter from
Phillipsburg, my sister, Wini
fred, came from Courtland
five times to visit me. - And to
top it off I had (and am hay
ing) daily and nightly care of
Bus and Mary--a choice of
various, comfortable coucht, s
and lounges to rest on-three
meals from the best-cook-in
town, Mary. - Might be a temp
tation to prolong my rest cure.
But I do miss my work, and
¢ou will probably find me at
the Record office, as usual.

Time-Saving Tips
Improve Ironing Skills
Every woman and girl
should know how to practice
the art of ironing, even in this
era of wash wearables. Many
drip-dries nec.d some touching
tip, atld CCl'tain items still re-
quire all over pressing. Here
are helpful hints to improve
anybody's "iron ability".
It isn't worth tinm and ef-
fo/'t to iron clothes that aren't
clean. They won't look right,
and presed-in soil and perspir-
ation will be more difficult tO
:remove in the next hmndering.
So be sure to wash anything
that is e\'en s/ightly soiled be-
[ore ira,nine,: il.
N('\cr iFoll L'lcilll ch)thcs with
"t(,ols" that ~n'ell't clean. To
remove starch and soil from
an iron soleplate, wipe it with
a cloth dipped in soap or deter-
gent suds; then rinse and wipe
dry. First unplug the iron and
let it, cool.
Wash ironing board covers
often to remove starch, lint,
and dye transferred frorn dark
clothes. After laundering a
fabric cover, replace it while
damp so it will dry taut on the
board. Wash new covers before
use to remove the sizing which
scorches at low heat.
To keep a clean ironing
board clean, cover it between
uses with a fitted washable
plastic cover, or with a paper
dress bag. This is most impor-
tant if the hoard is stored
along with housecleaning
equipment.
There are three basic iron-
ing methods: (a) with a regu-
lar iron ~or damp fabrics: (b)
with a steam iron for lightly
wrinkled clothes, wools, and
wool blends, and (c) with fin.
gers to smooth washwear or
drip dry garments.
Fold clothes lightly instead
of rolling them after sprink-
ling. Fewer wrinkles will get
into the damp fabric, and less
ironing will be needed.
Instead of the traditional
towel, put sprinkled garments
into a plastic sheet or bag, or
a large covered container. The
moisture will be distrihuted
more evenly.
Keep noncolor fast clothes
separate while damp; plastic
bags are convenient.
To prevent laundry from mil
dewing in hot weather, put the
sprinkled and folded clothes in
a plastic bag and place this
in the refrigerator for several
hours. Later, the heat of the
iron on the chilled fabric will
create light steam which will
make pressing go faster•
If you can't press a heavy
piece soon after washing, let
it dry thoroughly. When ready
to iron, sprinkle, fold it tight
/y, cover with a c/can cloth,
wrap it in paper and h'ave it
briefly in a warm oven to
dampen evenly by ew~pura-
tion.
Use time-saving short cuts
when ironing lingerie, sleep
wear, and other "inside"
items; save your all out efforts
for showier pieces.
Always iron the small areas
of a garment first, leaving lar-
ger sections for last tu [)revent
their creasing. For example,
iron a dress in this ordez':
placket facings, collar, sleeves,
shoulder, bodice, and skirt.
It is not necessary to contin-
ue ironing a dampened gar-
ment until it is bone dry es-
3ecially around zippers, plac-
kets, and other multiple layers
of fabric. After pressing, hang
the garment carefully to air-
dry before putting it away.
It's easier to iron large piec-
es if you reverse the board's
position so that the iron can he
placed on the narrow, pointed
end at your right• This leaves
the board square and free for
maximum working space.
If you have no steam iron,
use a well-dampened press
cloth with a fairly hot iron to
simulate steam• Hold the iron
just above the press cloth with-
out letting it actually touch.
This method will also coax up
the pile on cotton velveteen
and corduroy. A semi-transpar-
ent press cloth will let you see
what you are doing,
Iron wools and dark cottons
or, the wrong side to avoid a
shiny finish. Pockets and oth-
er thick areas may bc touched
up on the right side under a
)tess cloth.
Sudsable silk should always
)e ironed quite damp but ne-
ver sprinkled, because silk
waterspots. To da,npen silk,
wet the entire piece and blot
it in a towel -or just roll it in
a damp towel for a few min-
utes.
Iron lace, embroidery, eye-
let, pique and rough surface
materials over turkish towel
~adding to bring out the decor-
ation or texture in a 3.D effect.
A handy substitute for a
sleeve board is a rolled or fold..
ed towel. To "Iron" a puffed
sleeve, remove the shade from
a table lamp and turn on
the light bulb. Put the damp
sleeve over the hot bulb and
