RODGERSON, M.D. J a • 91 For those interested in pick- lingEthis week's column features recipes for dill pickles and pickled corn cobs. 1 have also come up with a salad- that is a little different from the ordinary, and a muffin recipe that you will find very 'convenient since the batter can be stored in the refri- gerator and used as needed. DILL PICKLES Select small, fresh cucumbers (3 to 4 inches in length). Wash thoroughly and put in brine over- night. Rinse well the next morn- ing. Pack in sterilized jars, plac- ing a bunch of dill in the top and bottom. For each pint of cucum- bers, use 2 tablespoons of sugar. This can be added to the cucum- hers in the jars. Make a syrup (cold) using the ratio of two cups of vinegar to one cup of water. Fill jars to overflowing. Seal jars but not tightly. Place in canner of warm water, and boil until bubbles start to rise up inside the jars, and the pickles have changed color slightly. Remove from canner, and seal tightly. PICKLED CORN COBS Select corn cobs when they first begin to form (field corn is the best). Husk and add boiling water for $ to 10 minutes. Remove from water and pack on end in small pickle or pint jars. Add one teaspoon salt, and a pinch of tumeric. Cover with the following hot Syrup and seal. Syrup: 1 cup vinegar to 1 cup of sugar.

The brine was too weak, the vinegar was too weak, or you overcooked the pickles. Tough Pickles: The brine 'was too strong. Dark Pickles: The use of iodized salt can darken pickles. Also, iron utensils will discolor pickles. Alumintun or enamel kettles and wooden spoons are recommended. Very hard water will also darken pickles.

That first dental X-ray took time The first dental X-ray, re- ported to have been made in Germany back in 1895, took a total exposure time 01 25 min- utes. Although It was crude, the resulting picture revealed structures that had never been revealed before except in anatomical drawings. Q. Should II have my intra- uterine device removed be- cause of the danger of infec- tion? A. Since the report of some serious infections with the Dalkon Shield, every IUD wearer is naturally worried a. 1 asking questions about all TUDs. Up until now, as a result of reports on thousands of users, there has been little serious infection that could be ascribed to the IUD. Care was taker not to insert them in women who had histories of pelvic infections. There are always new pelvic infections Just as women without IUDs develop new infections. If there is sexual intercourse with an infected partner, there will be an infection, IUD or no. The fact that there is a string in the vagina does not seem to make any difference. If your IUD is not a Dalkon Shield and is not causing you any problems, you might as well leave it alone. If it is a Dallton Shield, you may be wise to have it removed be- cause of the higher incidence of pregnancy and because, with pregnancy, infection is a possibility and a serious com- plication. \ - PLEAS! NG—Only materials needed to make these pleasing paper designs are paper and scissors. They stay In place without paste. _ CHILD'S PLAY Standup collage no paste By BUROICER & IIUNTSINGER Some words always seem to be considered in pairs:. "bread and butter" "soap and water" "rain or shine." This also applies to art projects since one speaks of "pen and ink drawings" or "paint and brush work." Even "pencil and eraser" go together for some artistic ef- fects. The phrase "cut and paste" has almost become.one word. GARAGE CONVERSION — Built-in banquettes line one wall and a portion of the corner of this room which could be borrowed for a garage conversion. Bar with high bar -chairs and the folding table give the room instant party qualities, yet are functional for many uses. DECOR SCORE Fun rooms can be ,exciting By BARBARA HARTUNG Q. We are converting our garage into a party room for our three children who are constantly eating, entertain- ing friends, playing the guitar and drums. We need a practi- cal room witheasy-care furnishings that are flexible. Would you please give us some ideas on how to go about creating a room that will be right for the children but which we adults will enjoy us- ing, too? —V.B. A.

You might find that built-in seating along one or two walls of the room wotifd work well. You might do sim- ple striped canvas or sail- cloth banquettes.. Maybe you and the children would like a serving bar and some bar chairs color co- ordinated with the striped fabric on the banquettes. Or a large serving cart on wheels might be just as practical. Some plastic cubes for snack tables probably woild be practical and attractive. Also, why not invest in a pair of good-looking folding tables with perhaps natural butcher block plastic lami- nated tops that would be at- tractive enough for your din- ner parties and practical for the children's activities. Some bean bag chairs made out of vinyl or the striped canvas might please the younger set, too. For the floor I would imag- ine an off-white vinyl would be a good choice if you are planning lots of color in this room Casual laminated win- dow shades, Roman shades in the stripe fabric or woven blinds would be attractive at the windows. Q. We have just inherited illy parents' most elegant Chinese rug m blues and golds. We need to recover our Chippendale sofa and two chairs, so we thought this would be a good time to start all over again. I have to buy a new coffee table, and I don't know what kind to choose, so I will not detract from the beautiful symmetry of the rug. What colors would you choose for the sofa and chairs? Besides blues and golds,,I have some treasured pieces in rose and green. Should I use solids on the furniture or prints? If a print, what kind? — T. Y. P. A. My first advice to you is to seek the professional ad- vice of an interior designer who can help you select ex- actly what you want. You will avoid making costly mistakes and be more assured of hav- ing the room you picture in your mind. Many stores today are of- fering interior design serv- ices or you may hire a design- er simply on a fee basis for his or her advice. You can, too, go to an independent de- signer and have that person select the fabrics fof your furniture and draperies and order them through the de - Signer. Do consider one of the three because your rug can be greatly enhanced by the proper setting. My guess would be that solid fabrics in variations of the blues and golds of your rug on your furniture would detract less from the pattern of the rug which you want to spotlight. Don't use a coffee table on your rug if you think it would spoil the look. In- stead buy a nest of tables to use sofa -side and place around for guests when needed. DEADLY PLANT As few as one or two seeds of the castor bean plant, used as a houseplant or an orna- mental plant outdoors, have been known to cause death. fAr When one begins making something out of cut material it is often an automatic next step to reach for glue, paste, transparent tape, rubber ce- ment, or even a stapler if sticking substances are neither handy nor practical. But here is an\ exception to prove the rule, a project which eliminates an adhesive ingredient. The only required materials — aside from creativity — are paper and scissors. Heavy paper, such as card- board or tagboard, form the bass for this standup collage. Construction paper in a color variety provides both con- trast and enough body so fig- ures, can stand alone for a three-dimensional appear- ance. Practice \ with news- paper scraps to find a pleas- ing abstract design.

One tablespoon of food contaminated with botulism toxin can be fatal. Many deaths have resulted from people tasting food they suspect may be bad. Canned meat or vegetables should not be served or even tasted unless they have been heated for 10 minutes at 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C. Be a concerned consumer. mg it under, out of sight. Decide the position for each design and cut a matching slit in the baseboard. Be sure it is identical in length so. the design will go through tightly. If too loose, flopping will re- sult. The amount that tucks under will depend on how high and wide each piece will be.
