A. My fu,st gu is that the star-
peel control is extremely loose in
its position to regular the opening
and closing. Another cause may be
that a screw that adjusts the louver i

Yau can troubleshoot this problem

checking its operation .. 1f an that is

with that and replace the vent. An
application of a light oil or penetrat

Q.I
Home Tips
RECIPE SWAP - When I re
quest a copy of a recipe from a friend,
I send a plain, elf-addressed,
stamped postcard on which to write
the recipe and then mail it.
This way I'm sure I get the recipe.
I also don °t have to recopy it since
the postcard is the same ize most
recipe-card boxes. Kate R., Birmin- •
gham, Ala.
SCRUBLESS CLEANING -
Liquid automatic dishwasher deter
gent removes bumed-on grease and
food from barbecue grill , pots and
stove reflector pans.
I soak the dirty item overnight in a
strong solution of dishwasher deter
gent and water. The grease and food
just floats off! To remove any dirt
that may remain, I scrub with nylon
net. Linda P., Sikeston, Mo.
SHOESHINE TIP - If you need
a quick shoe hine, use petroleum
jelly. Rub in on patent-leather shoes
nd buff. Patricia V., Beaumont,
Calif.
PURSE ORGA IZER - The
- purse I carry is quite large, but I need
it to c rry v rious items, such
. lipstick, n iJ clip rs, pirin, etc.
Finding these items when I needed
them proved to be a pain, so I came
up with an easy solution.
I took a gallon-size, self-closing
pi tic bag and put all the m II items
from my purse into it. Now I can pick
up the bag and look through the ides
to find what I need right away. It also
makes it easy when I change purses.
The can be left in my car to make
the purse lighter when I h ve to shop.

BETTE A TH SORRY
_ I use a tooth rush to clean the
'crevices of my cooler after picnics,
but I recently h dad experience
that taught me to be more careful.
After I finished cleaning the
cooler;"1 put the toothbrush on my
kitchen sink. Th toothbrush had am
monia water still on it. A few
minutes later, my two-year- old came
to show me that he w brushin her
teeth. Luckily, no harm w done,
ut I will certain n to do that
ag in! Suzanne P., San D'e 0, Calif.
