CHILD'S PLAY
Put new life into old cans
By BUROKER
& HUNTSINGER •
Recycling centers are urg-'
ing everyone to save empty
tin cans, step on them to
flatten them, and see they are
used again.
But here's a way to put new
life into a container and give
it a brand new use. The first
step, however, is to open It
very carefully and be sure it
doesn't get flattened or
dented in any way.
Although they are called
"tin cans," that name is rath-
er deceptive. Forne .thing,
many receptacles particu-
larly those containing bever-
ages — are made of alumi-
' num these days. Most are
composed of steel which has
been covered with a thin coat
of tin. Those used to preserve
food are usually enameled on
the inside so there will be no
discoloration. And, thanks to
modern industrial methods,
machines exist which can
produce as many as 500 con-
tainers in one minute.
Small juice . cans make
ideal desk or dresser contain-
ers. But don't remove the top.
Instead; use an opener that
punches a hole = usually two
are desirable so the air can
get in and the juice can flow
out easily.
Wash the inside of the can
and punch two more holes.
Work the punch edge so the
inside is pushed way back
and the sides of the hole are
smoothed. You will find these
openings, are just . the right
size for a pen, pencil, and
blade end of a pair of scissors,'
to slip into without getting all
tangled together.
CAN HOLDER—This recycled and decorated can, Its top
punched with holes to hold items tidily In place, makes a
handy desk container.
Before putting the can to
work, however, decorate its
outside. This Can- be done in
several ways. Cover all the
,outside surface with contact
paper, wall paper, cloth, or
any other material that will
hide the advertising that tells
its original purpose.
Along the top and bottom
edges glue a rim of rickrack
or a narrow strip of felt to
serve as a border. Felt cut-
outs of initials or flowers or
other decorations may be
added, or paste decals or
magazine pictures if that is
preferable. The container can
become as tailored or frilly as
one wishes.
This kind of holder is par-
ticularly useful for colored
pencils or felt pens. You can
always be certain the one you
want will be exactly in the
spot where it was last placed
— actually, "canned and pre-
served" for future use.
Carpet
controls
sound
By BARBARA HARTUNG
Q. I live in the city in an
apartment right next to a
freeway which is very con-
venient for getting around but
which is very difficult so far
as the noise and light is con-
cerned. In decorating my con-
dominium I need ideas to cre-
ate an inward feeling. I'd like
almost a cave atmosphere
only not depressing. What
might you suggest? — L. L.
A. For sound control you
might consider running Car-
peting right up one wall, pref-
erably the wall opposite win-
dows. Or you might like en-
veloping yourself in fabric.
Even thick felt on the walls
creates- some sound deaden-
ing effect. Or shirr fabric for
greater sound control. Cover
all floors with thick carpet so
you don't have any hard sur-
face floors. Even kitchen car-
peting would help. Drape win-
dows instead of using shades
or blinds and check into add-
ing acoustical ceilings.
If the walls are painted or
covered in a plain felt, large
wall hangings of fibers also
absorb noise. Use overstuffed
furniture that envelops you. If
you don't like to keep your
window open or draperies
open, use some large photo-
graphs of beautiful nature
scenes to keep you from feel-
ing locked in a cave. For light
control, line your draperies
with a heavy, light -proof fab-
ric.
CIO tKING CORNER
Opera star kneads
dough to relax
By SUSAN DELIGHT
Next to singing a perfect
aria, opera -star John Stew-
art's highest ambition is to
make a perfect loaf of bread.
"Breadmaking is very re -
lazing for me," he said. "At
my apartment in New York I
often spend the hours before
an opening opera perform-
ance cooking and baking. I
get any nervousness out of
my system by measuring,
beating and kneading."
Stewart says he always
tries to find an apartment
when he is spending any
length of time away from
New York.
"I like to cook for myself —
restaurant food is so poor,"
he sai&A`Unless you go to an
expensive restaurant the
meat is poorly prepared and
the vegetables are over-
cooked. This is not true in Eu-
rope. Even the cheaper res-
taurants there serve well -
cooked food."
The opera star spends part
of the year singing in Europe,
where he maintains an apart-
ment in Frankfurt, Germany.
He says his next amateur -
chef project is to learn to
snake pasta.
"I have a friend in Frank-
furt who says he will teach
me. I'm planning to bring a
pasta machine back with me
the next time I return from
Europe," he said.
Stewart says his favorite
cuisine is Italian, with
French next.
"11 like gourmet food, but
like all midwesterners — I'm
from Ohio — I like hambur-
gers. When I'm rehearsing
and am pressed for time, I
usually order a hamburger."
His favorite bread recipe,
which he calls an "easy, all-
purpose, no -hassle" bread, is
shared with readers. He also
shares a favorite variation.

QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK
Breast rebuilding
advice sought
By ELEANOR B.. -
RODGERSON, M.D.
Q. I need some information
on breast reconstruction. Is
there any way to rebuild the
breast without an artificial
implant? I have very saggy,
ugly breasts because of child-
birth. I have tried exercise
and other things that did not
work. I am only 22 and this
problem is really getting me
down. Please help.
A. Gynecologists examine
breasts for abnormalities,
etc., but rarely do surgery
upon them, or repairs. We re-
fer our patients to general
surgeons and plastic sur-
geons who have experience in
this field.
You could request'informa-
tion about these specialists
from your local medical soci-
ety. You want the best
trained doctor available.
Then ask him. what he sug-
gests, if anything. It may be
that what you consider ugly is
not ugly to others at all.
Sometimes excess tissue is
removed; sometimes foreign
material is implanted. Before
anything is undertaken, your
doctor will have to consider
the possibility of a young
woman like you having an-
other pregnancy. In that
case, will the increased
hormonal stimulation of your
breasts affect your surgery?
Most women -do very well
with supporting bras. If, how-
ever, the present condition of
your breasts is upsetting your
whole outlook on life, it may
be important for you to get
your repair, remembering
that repeat surgery might be
necessary when your child-
bearing is over and that any
surgery has its risks.
Q. What do doctors think
about taking estrogens and
their effect on the breasts?
A. Estrogens are not used
simply to firm up the breasts,
and when indicated, estrogen
medication is kept to a level
where it does not produce
swelling and tenderness of
the breasts.
A woman has her own sup-
ply from her ovaries and
these are the hormones that
normally stimulate her
breasts before her menstrual
'periods. Artificially, she gets
estrogens from oral contra-
ceptives and from medication
used to treat the menopause.
As far as we know, estro-
gens do not of themselves
cause cancer, but, if cancer is
present, they may help it
grow faster. Should women
who have family histories of
breast cancer take them? No
one knows what harm might
be done, but many doctors
discourage their taking estro-
gens in order to avoid extra
stimulation. -
For the woman in the
menopause, there must be a
decision between how much
her symptoms bother her and
the theoretical disadvantage
of estrogens. Most of the
time, miserable with hot
flushes and headaches, she
will choose what brings'relief
and let the future take care of
itself.
minder of lukewarna wa-
ter, about half of each of the
flours, the salt and shorten-
ing. Blend at low speed, then
beat for two minutes at medi-
um speed, stir in rest of flour
to make stiff dough. Knead
several minutes on floured
board. Divide the dough ire..
halves. Place each in a 4% by
2% by l% -inch greased pan.
Shape tops of loaves with
floured hands. Place in waren
place, such as oven with a
pilot Dight, and let rise for 20
minutes. Bake in 375 -degree
oven for about 35 minutes —
five minutes longer if crust is
desired.
VARIATION: After bread
rises, roll out flat and sprin-
kle with three -fourth cup
chopped nuts, two table-
spoons cinnamon and one-
third cup brown sugar. Roll
up and bake in 375 -degree
oven for 35 minutes. Add wa-
ter until the dough doesn't
stick•tt the sides of the bowl.
It should be shiny and elastic.
