R, Opens Stuffy Nose Fast-Y-ou Breathe Easy For Hours! ld a neighbor took our daugh ter along on a shopping trip to keep her young toddler company in the car while she went into the store. She parked in a metered zone and, not knowing how long she'd be gone, she gave our little girl an extra coin to put in the meter if time ran out. When she came back and noticed that the red flag was up, she asked why the coin hadn't been inserted. Our daughter replied, "Well, the meter by the car in frpnt of us turned red first So I put the money in there because I thought they needed it more than we did."

During the Depression, most of us kids were lucky if we got an apple or a piece of chewing gum once a week. One of my fondest memories was going to town with Granddad on Saturdays. It was always a special treat, even though we'd sometimes walk the whole seven miles. When we got tired, we'd rest under a shade tree and Granddad would tell stories. When we got to town, he'd give me a whole dollar to spend whatever way I wished. It wasn't until many years later I realized that Granddad, a farm laborer, had to work a full day in the fields to earn each of those dollars.

Actually, I walk under ladders all the time. The reason I may seem nervous is because ladders do fall down sometimes and painters do spill paint. But I don't want anybody to think I'm afraid. That's why I don't walk around them v. . . For example, if a black cat crosses my path, I never turn around and go another way. I know I did it the last time, but that's only because I remembered there was a short-c- ut on the other road. It turned out to be a little farther . . . . . . . J?: Let me explain. In our family, we always stamped white horses. You lick your thumb and stamp it in your hand and make a wish when you see a white horse. Sure, it's silly and we don't believe it. We just do it for fun, sort of. So we were on a trip and Bernie saw something white in a field. 1 should have remembered she doesn't see very far without her glasses and I suppose I could have told her it wasn't a horse, but we weren't having much fun, anyway. Well, we got on a detour of thick clay and, after the cloudburst, the clay turned to paste and we got lost and then the left rear tire moaned and died and nobody had an umbrella. Or a jack.
