Living and working in various sections of our country makes us - wonder if a person born and raised la Kenansville, let us say, would ever feel completely at borne in Farmington, Maine. And likewise if a native of Norway, Maine, would ever understand the life and i people of Warsaw, North Carolina. There are such vivid and startling contrasts between life In New England and in North Carolina that we become more dubious about ; international understanding. Perhaps California is different - culture there is too new and without deep enough roots to have become a way of life or a philosophy. Although native California would never feel entirely at home in either the South or New England. We have often been puzzled by the varying customs but even more perplexed by the different approach to life it sell It may be that the climate has a lot to do with it as well as the geography. Surely much of the insular attitude of Maine is attributable to its where - abouts. Life does not pass through the state it has no great stream ' of through traffic at all. To be sure one of the most Important busin esses in Maine is the tourist business but it is definitely seasonal and the tourists are referred to with no little scorn as 'summer people.' The summer people are regarded among their natives with great a musement and much condescension - especially tourists from New York, who are considered naive and hence game by shrewd Yankees. There was a man in our town in Maine who made boats to sell -and very good and sturdy boats they were, too. But during the. war, he had trouble getting the kind of seasoned lumber he needed. One of the boats he made at this time was full of knots which would cer tainly drop out when the lumber was fully dry. We asked him how on earth he ever expected to sell such a boat which would prove most unseaworthy in a few months. He just drawled that knotty pine would be a good selling point for the unsuspecting tourist who wouldn't know any better. Now that is not considered dishonest at all but merely good business in Maine - the ability to outsmart your neighbor. It is hardly an admirable trait - but is one most boasted of during the long winter months around the pot-bellied : stove in the local store when the summer people have gone back and the natives live on what they have made out of them. That old phrase, "Caveat Emptor," 'let the buyer beware' in all decency ought to be printed on a card handed to each visitor to this state that calls itself so proudly 'Vacationland' when he or she "; 1 crosses the bridge at Kittery. In all fairness, in most places you will get a good value, exactly what you pay for - but you will get few bargains. And the farther you get off the beaten track, the more likely you are to get taken in by some quaint and often ragged farmer on whose sagging porch you see just the chair for which you've been hunting for years. It might be a signed Hitchcook - but you'll pay full antique shop prices for it. Those old amber hobnail ' bottles piled so carelessly in a corner as if to be thrown out in the dump may have been, as the housewife will tell you, some her great aunt Annie had in her attic, but more probably have beert bought at an auction for from two to three dollars a piece - as you'll find when you try to get the lot for a dollar - and end up by buying one for five dollars. This so-called shrewdness has had its repercussions - you can't spend a lifetime trying to get the best of everyone else without ac quiring a suspicion that other people are doing the same thing to ' you. There is little warm, spontaneous friendliness. Walk down a street in almost any small town in Maine - and no one speaks to f you or smiles at you the way they do in North Carolina or in the west. True, there is laughter - but it is often the result of dry wit at someone else's expense, pointed sharp biting wit that is cold and not warm. It is not humor, it is generally malice. It may be that life is so hard that to live at all has been so much effort there is little time left for fun. It might also be that generations ' of puritans influence have made anything that is fun seem sinful -even laughter. Certainly you will find more tight-lipped people here than anywhere else in the country, cold distant people who frown on pleasure and who make a virtue of hard physical work, a point of pride in enduring sheer hardship. The thrift has turned into avarice, too. My grandfather who took great pride In the fact that he did tot come from Maine used to say that the only way people . lived here was to sell everything that they could, what they couldn't sell, they would feed to the hogs, and what the hogs wouldn't eat, they would eat themselves. It is a story that has more truth than poetry in it, too. That famous New England dish, baked beans, can be a succulent and flavorful treat once in a while. But every day, day after day, well they are not only monotonous but horrible. And many a good Maine housewife has been guilty of adding soda to beans on Wednesday when they have turned sour and should be thrown out. Maybe that grim expression is partly due to indigestion. Even the very excellent fresh vegetables are so altered by day long cooking as to be tasteless - & certainly vitaminless. You do find very good pastry cooks who can turn out a batch of the lighest doughnuts you've ever eaten - and marvelous pie and a cake that is a creation. Most of them have been descended from good cooks and consider, it part of their heritage. But I have yet in all the years I have lived in Maine to eat what anyone in the South would call a good fried , chicken, - unless the cook came from someplace else. Usually what f passes for fried chicken is -an old hen steamed all day so it won't be .... too tough to eat, then fried in a glutinous mess called batter. Proba- ' bly the least appetizing dish is one called a boiled dinner - it Is generally served on Thursdays. Once it was made with good corned nH iSHf d the cellar vegetables, cabbage, turnips, potatoes, carrots -flay lon witn tne other things. If you don't get a severe attack - of indigestion then, you never WilL It is greasy, tasteless and watery - and to be avoided as you would the devil - or the huge, thick and half-raw things called soda biscuits that may accompany them. My young son' came home from eating with a neighbor once and asked ma an old riddle but he had a new answer, "What is round as a saucer, deep as a cup, and all the kings horses couldn't pull it up? .' I replied it was a well, of coarse. "No, it's those horrible soda biscuits we bad for dinner today." ;v....... . . ... :-t..w',jt.- '."', There are really delicious Maine dishes, though a broiled lobster , eaten fresh from the ocean, or boiled in sea water a few minutes from the trap and dipped in melted butter. And steamed clams! : - And fresh swordfish or fried scallops - but these are all sea foods and are not only at their best on the coast of Maine but are cooked better there, too. And the coast sections of Maine is very different in custom and people, too - the horizons are wider, the vision greater. The people are silent there, too, but you feel that it is not taciturnity but reflectiveness. . A -...v.. :-- Yet slowy the unimaginative cooking of the inland is changing for the better, too. Nothing has changed it as much as the Home Demon stration Agents In Maine showing women how to cook with ease and grace and taste - how to do things in a less arduous manner - how to get more fun out of life and living. , - v.i HELEN CALDWELL CUSHMAN SHE SEES TV BY BREATHING EASY The sighs of Mrs. !

' In this day of fine hand lotions, water softeners, and good scrub brushes, hand beauty is a simple matter - a daily matter, for it is the routine and habit of care that really counts. A good scrubbing is one of the best beauty treatments you can pos sibly give your hands. Use warm water, a bland soap, and a good nail brush. Work up a good lather, scrub well, and rinse thoroughly. For perfect cleansing, hard water should be softened. A good water softener will also help to writen and soften the hands. After you have scrubbed your hands well, dry them thoroughly and follow with a hand lotion or a quick-drying cream. Always cleanse the hands well at bedtime and leave the cream on overnight. . If especially dirty work like metal polishing or dusting is done, wear gloves. Or, if iloves seem cumber some, fingernails-can be dug deep into a cake of bland soap and filled in this way. This is especially good pre-fingernail treatment for garden ing.

' , 1 the soap leaving the nails white and clean, v v Use a dish mop when dish wash ing so as to keep hands out of the water as much as possible. Keep an extra bottle of hand lotion on the kitchen shelf and use it generously. For hands that are very much soiled, a cream or an oily lotion should be applied and allowed to stay as long as possible before wash ing. A protective cream or lotion is then applied after the hands are dried. If there are stains on the hands rub them with lemon, then rinse and dry. Pumice stone, gently used, will take away severe stains and those made by cigarettes. Healthy .well cared for nails com plete the beauty of a lady's hands, and to attain this beauty they, too, should receive daily care. If the nails are brittle, rub olive oil, cuti cle oil, or any oily cream gently into the nails every night. Acquire the habit ot pushing back the cuti cle gently with the- towel every time the hands are 4ried. Scrupu lously clean under the nails several times daily. Give upholstered furniture a good sun bath at least twice a year.' If it is thoroughly brushed and given sun baths you will have very little trouble with moths. ;r , " And, it is just as important to dust upholstered furniture as it is to dust your clothes. Dust wears out the fabric when it is permitted to remain in it-A good clothes brush, light-weight whisk broom, or vac- umn cleaner should be used weekly on upholstered furniture. Window cleaning may be 'well done by using paper instead of cloth. It's economical too. Choose soft paper that does not lint Should one prefer a cloth, choose a clean one free from lint Chamois is a good cleaner but expensive and re' quires good care if kept soft . various cleaning mixtures may be used: Clear water with a little dissolved washing soda - about 1 tablespoon to a pail of water. On a very cold day the cloth may be moistened with alcohol or good ker osene - the latter is a very efficient cleaner and is not expensive. Whit ing or some prepared cleaning paste may be used on windows - the idea is to let these dry and then wipe off the powder which takes off the grease film leaving the windows bright and clear. ,. Windows should be cleaned When the sun is not shining on them di rectly as it causes uneven' evapora tion and gives a streaked surface. vities are located.
