DEAR JESS: Tbe emy, “Slow Me Dawn, Lord,’’ was -
written by WHferd A. Peterson in 1952.
Peterson said that tbe inspiration for his essay had come
from an old Negro spiritual, but not a word of the spiritual
was used.
According to tbe author, the essay was written espec
for modern business executives working under tension
suggestion to slow down and relax.

loose, squeeze a little more but be careful not to squeeze too
hard or it will be-too hard to zip up and down. — MRS. D.J.L.
DEAR POLLY - I want to tell Vee who has trouble with
zippers not working after a garment is laundered that I use
candles, even small birthday candles, to rub up and down both
sides of the zipper They work like new and with no sticking.
This works on jeans, too.
One reader wrote that her stainless steel refrigerator
always looked streaked When I worked at a fast food place
we used plain soda water (from the fountain) and wiped it dry
with a clean towel. This works wonders and leaves no threads.

DEAR POLLY - I would like to tell Mrs. D.G that I use a
paste made with baking soda to clean my stainless steel sinks
and find it removes water spots and leaves the sink looking
clean and shiny and smelling clean — NANCY
DEAR ABBY: There is a lovely Negro spiritual by the
name of “Slow Me Down, Lawd."
I heard that you once published a prayer by that title
several years ago. Could that prayer have been stolen from
the spiritual of the same name?
Will you please print the prayer and tell us who the
author was and when it was published?

DEAR POLLY — My black iron skillet has food
burned on the outside that I am unable to remove. Can
you tell me what to do to get this off? — MRS.W.E.
DEAR MRS. W.E. — You might try patting the skillet
inside a targe pan that contains water and washing
■•da. Let It boil for a bit and then leave in tbe hot water
for a while. That should loosen tbe burned on food so
that it can be scrubbed off with a stiff brush and hot
sods or a cleanser. Rinse and then dry thoroughly. Cast
iron must be complely dry or it will get rust spots. —

CONFIDENTIAL TO DOUBTING DONNA: It’o true.
The Wall Street Journal reported (as a business item) that
available for sale is a tiny tape-playing device that fits inside
a refrigerator, and every time the door is opened, a voice
says, “Are you eating again? No wonder you look the way
you do. Do yourself a favor and shut the door!”
1 totok it’s one of tbe loveliest things 1 have ever read; its
message is as relevant today as it was 23 years ago. I shall
print it again with pleasure:
“Slow me down, Lord! Ease tbe pounding of my heart by
the quieting of my mind. Steady my hurried pace with a
vision of the eternal reach of time. Give me, amidst the eoa

DEAR ABBY: I work with a girl who plans to be married
soon. Today she admitted to me that although she really
doesn't love the man, she and her mother think this may be
her last chance, and she hopes to hook him before he gets out
of the marrying mood. -
She has four children by three previous marriages.
Everyone at work says to keep quiet.
Abby, I don’t want to see this man used or hurt, but I
don't know him well enough to open my mouth.
I work with the woman, which could cause problems if I
were to tip the man off and he repeated my warning.
