<br />Hi the<<!f Just thought I'd drop by
<br />for a minute to say "Good morning" and
<br />to remind you that if you haven't al-
<br />ready done it then you'd better get
<br />those 'geraniums slipped, Remember
<br />what a time we had last year, its not
<br />easy to hold a flashlight with you~
<br />knees, especially if they happen to be
<br />shaking with cold. Believe it or not my
<br />Mom and I did that lIttle chore orle
<br />warm afternoon a week or 'so ago, It
<br />was one of those wondeduf fall days
<br />with the leaves just beginning to lose
<br />their hold on summer, A Uny, gray kit-
<br />ten just old enough to be inquisitiw,
<br />and young enough to want company
<br />was our constant companion. He was
<br />between our feet at every step and at-
<br />my fingertips each time I selected a
<br />geranium to be cut. I felt sure we were
<br />doing the job in a manner tbat met,with
<br />his approval as he was most generOtlS
<br />with his p)lrraise every time I picked
<br />him for a consultation.
<br />1 am stuting-all my slips in a larJ:e,
<br />shallow pan filled with fine sand, as
<br />soon as a root system begins to develop
<br />then I'll transplant them to pots and
<br />good garden soil. This method worked
<br />exceptionally well last year, 1 think I
<br />only lost four or five slips out of the
<br />fifty or so that I planted. Wish there
<br />WIS some way I could share th,ese ger-
<br />aniums with you gals who would like
<br />to have them. Jack Frost is centainly
<br />going to get a lot of them this year. .
<br />The coming of my birthday- a few
<br />weeks ago brought about the end of a
<br />rather unusual era at our house and"
<br />, 'frankly, ,I wasn't the least bit sorry to
<br />~ see it go. It's like this--I have never
<br />. fomid it possible to sleep on brush rol-
<br />: lers so I shampoo my hair in the mOr!}.
<br />Ings which In turn necessitates a quick
<br />dry job If I am to be at work at a
<br />reasonably prompt time. It has, becn
<br />my custom to sit Yogi-fashion in front
<br />of the forced air furnace Ind I could
<br />usually be assured that when the rest
<br />of me was broiled to a, turn. my hair
<br />would be nearly dry. Coming unexpect-
<br />edly upon this scene of rare discomfort
<br />must have been an inspiration to my
<br />family for they put an end to it and in
<br />the very nicest way too. My birthday
<br />present from them was the prettie~t
<br />hair dryer you've ever seen. Just slip
<br />on the cap, flip the switch and in a
<br />matter of 20 minutes or so my 'hair is
<br />dry. It has a dial for heat control and
<br />bless me, even a warm air outlet for
<br />drying your nail polish. Or if your
<br />mornings are as hectic as mine usually
<br />are, then its a wonderful time to just
<br />sit back, relax and daydream for a few
<br />minutes.
<br />If you don't already have one then
<br />maybe a hint (nothing as drastic as the
<br />Yogi bit, please) to your family will do
<br />the trick fOr you too.

<br />Texas Gal and her family live at Angle.
<br />ton which was squarely in the path of
<br />the ":'Impaging Carla. Hoping to eseape
<br />
<br />the worst of the storm tiley packed
<br />the youngsters, Sheri, Jamie and tiny
<br />2-week-old Mike, into the car and drove
<br />far inland. But Carla followed llke a
<br />bad reputation and the small town
<br />where they took refuge bore the full
<br />brunt .of the storm. They spent one
<br />night in the basement of a church ami
<br />in commenting on the number of
<br />youngsters-present our Gal said it was
<br />the only room in the building with
<br />"wall, to wall babies". They returned
<br />home several days later and 'were mcs'
<br />fortunate to find their"owrr home omy
<br />very slightly damaged.' Even' Mama
<br />kitty and three small kittens, who had
<br />been provisioned and left in the bath-
<br />room, were fine. A great many pets
<br />'didn't fare so well.
<br />The phone call that brought us news
<br />of their safety was the most welco!r.e
<br />one 'l'.ve had in II long time.
<br />The sight of those bright yellow
<br />pumkins in the field reminds me that
<br />Jack-a-lantern time is almost here. The
<br />thought of those warm, s,ugary dough.
<br />nuts is enough to make me jerk my
<br />calorie chart right 'off the cupboard
<br />door.
<br />Say, Mom, if those little tykes of
<br />yours plan to go out for "tricks or
<br />treat" be sure they carry a flashlight
<br />or are dressed in something white. A
<br />youngster with a mask-and dark cloth-
<br />ing on is mighty hard to see after dark.
<br />And you and I both know they somc-
<br />times forget to cross at the corners.
<br />Have fun and Happy Hallowe'en!

<br />Since stretch garments contain man-
<br />made fibers, this means mild soap or
<br />Jight-duty detergellts, warm water tem-
<br />"peratures and gentle washing action.
<br />Heavily soiled spots need pre-treat-
<br />ment. A Delieate Fabric or Modern
<br />Fabric cycle should be used if the
<br />hangtags indicate that the garments can
<br />be washed automatically.
<br />In the case of stretch terry items,
<br />when the fabric contains a cotton_
<br />nylon blend, they should be washed
<br />automatically_ in gentle cycles and con-
<br />ditions, not just tossed in with a turkish
<br />towel load or in a load to be run
<br />through a regular or soiled cycle.
<br />When stretch garments hanglags
<br />indicate automatic drying is permissi_
<br />ble, dryer settings !or man-made fibers
<br />should pe used. Some men's' slacks of
<br />waver! stretch fabrics with fiber blends
<br />are marketed today that are washable,
<br />but not classified "automatic wash and
<br />wear." Drip-drying is recommended for
<br />these.
