LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS

organization that has been a friend
to millions of people in need for over
a century

unwed mothers, families in
trouble—and helping them achieve
direction, hope and inner strength
and a chance for a better future

HOLLYWOOD - Tidbits from
Tinseltown ... It appears this summer,
Michael lac kson will come out of his self-
imposed retirement to appear in a con-
cert to benefit the Save Our Children
fund
Televised on a worldwide hook-up
from Norway, mighty Mike will share
tfie bill with two very unique sidemen
Former British Prime Minister Edward
Heath v\ill sit in on piano, and France's
ex-President Discard d'Estang will add
a few hot licks on his accordion I sure
hope Michael can moonwalk to "Lady
of Spain
There s an upcoming btopic in pro-
duction based on the life of late New
fork Nankee catcher Thurman Munson
Now that las of this writing) they're
buddies again, watch for Yankee owner
iieorge Steinbrenner and Bronx bad boy
Billy Martin to make an appearance in
the film
Yes. theres a "Beverly Hills Cop"
sequel on the drawing board and no, it
won t take place in Europe For a while
it looked as though F.ddie Murphy's
i haracter was headed overseas for
BHC-II." but after producers scouted
locations all across the continent, they
decided to that there s really no place
like home So watch for the next
adventure to take place in, of all
places Beverly Hills, California.
Good news for fans of "The Killer,"
Jerry Lee Lewis He s on the mend and
headed for a return to the concert scene
We thought we had lost him," states his
relieved daughter, Phoebe, as she
discussed his most recent brush with
death
Cool cat Jerry Lee. who seems to have
as many lives as Garfield and Morris
combined, was recently hospitalized for
what many feared was another stomach
tear, similar to the one that nearly did
him in four years ago
When doctors diagnosed his most
recent problems as two small ulcers.
Jerry Lee, in a style only his own,
pronounced himself elated!" No one but
"The Killer" could take the news of
stomach ulcers with elation
I called the group Alabama my
"Entertainers of the Year." I made that
proclamation at the end of 1984 Here
we are in the middle of 1985 and they re
leading candidates to repeat as my
year s favorite act
I recently caught the guys live in
concert at LA s open-air Greek Theater,
and I've got to tell ya Alabama just
keeps getting better and better When
entertainment-wise Southern Cali-
fornians remained seated during a
pouring rain storm, you've got to give
credit to the talent that s keeping them
in their drenched seats. Alabama is one
of the few acts capable of such an
achievement When Alabama comes to
your town, treat yourself to one of
America s finest musical presentations.

BURGLAR BAR - Before you take
a trip, take stock of home security in-
stallations. Replace any lock that seems
flimsy and can be pried up with a
screwdriver An exterior hinged door
needs a single cylinder deadbolt with at
least a I-inch bolt, according to safety
experts. They urge solid brass, heavy
locks and burglary prevention bars
across sliding glass doors. A new
security device lor panels too near the
lock is an unbreakable, clear plastic
sheet that can be affixed inside the
frame Makes breaking the sliding glass
difficult, if not impossible
GINGER UP — Cut pieces of ginger
root into a jar and cover with wine or
brandy Keeps it fresh for cooking Add
chopped, minced ginger to desserts and
Oriental dishes for exotic flavor
SHOWER STUFF - Machine wash
vinyl shower curtains and window
draperies in cold water and detergent
Add quarter cup of baking soda and
wash away. Put a cup qf white vinegar
in at rinse cycle and remove curtains
before spin dry cycle Wipe rods with
petroleum jelly before rehanging vinyl
bath curtains.
TEA TIME — Make your own exotic
teas to vary taste of summer's iced tea
buy a pound of loose tea leaves (any
blend you fancy) and divide among four
screw top jars. Flavor each tea
differently — adding cloves, cinnamon,
dried apple slices, vanilla bean, anise.
Cover and store flavored teas Brew as
usual and add cold water for iced tea
HOME COMPUTERS - You need
facts about computers — what they'll do
and what they won't — before you
