SABOTAGE IN BUREAU DRAWERS
fT*0 wax the track and give slide to sticking furniture drawers, rub the stubborn surfaces with paraffin. There is still another way, if drawers have never been finished on the inside. On some nice dry day, empty them, and give both sides of each drawer a thin coat of clear varnish, and make sure to cover all of the surfaces. This seals the wood so that when humid weather comes along, there is no place for the dampness to be absorbed and swell the wood — Betty Moore Triangle Club, NBC Saturdays.
UNDERSTUDIES
Vinyl resin is replacing the now scarce rubber cement as an adhesive. After drying, the resin is non-adhesive at ordinary temperature.
A cellulose nitrate plastic is replacing metal for shoe-lace tips. It won't cut or scratch the shoe-lace yanker.
Plastics — smooth, ridgeless and tasteless — are also being used to make, pencil ferrules, the metal that holds the eraser on the end of a pencil — Adventures in Science, Saturdays, CBS.
FIRST AID TO A DYING DINNER
If you want to keep a meal hot without drying it out, place it on the upper shelf of the oven, kept warm at the lowest temperature, and place a pan of hot water on the lower shelf. The water will prevent the food from drying unduly. — Linda Porter on The Three Marketeers, over WMCA, New York, Monday through Friday.
