January 2, I9W File under for new house 'Hy Dear Heloise: When we into our "new" 1960 house in 1992, we were delighted to find that the first owner had started a house file. It is located in one of those accordion-styl- e folders. Each room is listed on a u sx.tion, and there is a nt for "yard." In each compartment are the receipts and .samples for wallpaper and paint instructions for appliances, details about who laid the brick patio, etc. There was also a file that listed all the owners, dates lived in the house and where they moved. We have continued to use it and have found it a godsend for learning the care, use and age of the appliances as well as how much paper or paint a room Bonnie Priebe, requires. nwA'ed CROSSWORD fl ACROSS Cat dangers Dear Heloise: Many things are dangerous to cats. Some dangers such as harsh chemicals and poisons are obvious. Other dangers may not be known by a new cat owner. The following may cause serious illness or death to a cat. 1. Shampoo and flea treatments. Unless the products are specially marked for cat use, never use any shampoo flea treatments on or near your cat. Many dog products are deadly to cats. 2. Bathroom toilets. Be sure to keep the lid down on the toilet. Cats that drink from toilets are subject to drowning or being poisoned by chemical toilet cleaners. 3. Household cleaners. Cheverly, Md. How very thoughtful of the previous owners to leave all that information. It would be nice if others followed their lead. As a matter of fact, it's a good idea for all homeowners to start a master file. Having all that info handy in one place can end up saving you money in the long run.

STRANGE SCULPTURES: For an interesting time, gather up several old wire coat hangers and twist them into the most distorted shapes imaginable. Place them on newspapers to keep a table from getting ruined. Take a variety of colored candles, light them and drip them over the shaped hangers.
