laugh An interoffice softball
game was held every year between the marketing department
and the support staff of one company.
The support staff whipped the marketing
department soundly.
To show just "how" the
marketing department earns their keep, they posted this
memo on the bulletin board after the game:
"The Marketing Department is
pleased to announce that for the 2006 Softball Season, we
came in 2nd place, having lost but one game all year. The
Support Department, however, had a rather dismal season,
as they won only one game."
Pizza place sign on the wall advising:
"Price. Quality. Service. Pick Any Two."

yesterday purchased of Sam Sanderson his residence on
East Third street, between Clinton and Fulton. The
consideration was $1,900. The house is now occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Blankenship, and Mr. Smith will get
possession as soon as Mr. Blankenship finds a suitable
house elsewhere.
Mr. Smith and his mother and sisters
have lived for many years in the property on Chestnut
street, between Garrison and McGregor belonging to J. W.
Halliburton.
The Carthage Knights and Ladies of

Talkin'
Mornin',
There is a reassurance in
the seasonal changes. Knowledge gained from
experience of former winter weather is
sometimes forgotten unfortunately. But,
lessons will be repeated for those who
don’t take advantage of past experience.
I turned on my wipers the
other mornin’ to clear the light frost
from the windshield. They hung for a moment,
then swiped across the glass. The lesson was
obvious. Part of my wiper blade stayed
attached to the ice as the wiper ripped a
chunk of the rubber. I’ve seen that
before, I though to myself as I mumbled a few
words of wisdom I’d learned in other
similar experiences.
You might not teach an old
dog new tricks, but ya gotta keep
tryin’.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

THIS IS A HAMMER
By Samantha Mazzotta
Stainless Steel
Marred by Stain
Q: I have a stain in my
"stainless" steel sink. It’s a
water stain around the edge of the drain. I have
a water softener, but that didn’t prevent
it. What will clean this up? And why do they call
it stainless anyway? I want it to look like new.
-- Linda M., Silver Spring, Nev.
A: Stainless steel is a metal
alloy (meaning two or more metals blended to
create a new type of metal -- think brass, for
example, which is an alloy of copper and bronze).
In this case, stainless steel sinks are an alloy
of iron and chromium. It’s durable and
resists stains. The surface of these sinks is
often coated with a little extra layer of
chromium to make a tough and shiny oxide surface.
If this coating wears off, through age or lots of
abrasive scrubbing, rust and water stains can
become a problem.
Try a home remedy first to see
if the stain will come up. Pour undiluted white
vinegar on a lint-free cloth and dab it onto the
water stain. Let it soak for an hour and then
wipe the vinegar away, to see if it lifts the
mineral deposit with it. You might also try
mixing a paste of baking soda, hot water and
vinegar and applying a thick layer over the stain
with a cloth or nylon brush. Again, let it soak
and wipe or rinse the paste away.
Additionally, I’ve never
tried this, but some people swear by club soda.
Just dab it in the stain and let it soak for a
while.
The next step is to purchase a
stainless-steel cleaning solution (and
specifically, a solution for cleaning stainless
steel). Follow the directions on the bottle to
clean the stain.
HOME TIP: To maintain stainless
steel, don’t scrub with abrasive sponges or
cleaners. To keep a sink shiny, rub a very light
layer of olive oil over the sink and fixtures
after cleaning.
