When you follow the rules youll have a minimum of distress and confusion. It's a big Job to move household goods from one house to another, or from one town to another. It's not a matter of piling things into the car and carting them over, even If the bouse is on the next block. Much can be done before the actual moving, and though, at first, this seems like an enormous job, its well on the way to completion by the time you've made a list of what can be done, and know how be done. v It should Youll undoubtedly call in a mov Make a Safe Move Moving day Is comparatively simple for this young homemaker who has a reputable warehouseman packing her dinnerware and glassware.

Toasters, irons and waffle irons should be covered and placed in the bottom of boxes or barrels with protection to keep them from moving about loosely. You dont want them dented or marred. Wrap silverware in tissue paper carefully, be itf flatware or serving silver. These, too, are placed in barrels. All barrels and boxes should be numbered. Keep a listing of what goes under each number so you can extract from the right barrel when you want a certain item. This avoids plowing Into barrels or boxes you arent ready to unpack. LIFE HARD enough confusing enough, without having to do the work you hate? asks Linda Curtla, from Albany. My life is full of excitement and interest, he goes on, and I see to it that our four children have a wonderful time. But my husband, patient and good and everything that 1s satisfactory, plods along day after day, and year after year in the dullest imaginable business selling mens suits. You see, weve always been poor, hardworking people, and if Martin ever had any dreams of starting out for himself and breaking away from the rut he is in, hes never been free to realize them, The children are mixed twins of 7. girl 5, baby 3, and they keep me busy and happy and laughing and scolding U day long. My life has variety enough in it, and I try to share that variety with Mart on week ends and during his brief summer vacations. We have eight weeks in a mountain cabin; he haa two. After working late at the office, called a cab to take him home. On the way a gale sprang up. The wind was so fierce that branches, trees, and even telephone poles came crashing down. Heedless of danger, the caboie didnt even slow down. The businessman was frightened, but decided to "sit tight, and say nothing. Pretty soon the cab rounded a curve and smacked right into a damage suit was filed In the boys name against the babys father, and the court ruled that the man was Indeed liable The Judge said: There was great provocation, but no justification."

It isnt fair that a man should be tied down by a dependent wife and four husky kids, when, at heart, hes a boy longing for adventure. It doesnt seem to me this is a problem at all, Linda. Martin is doing what millions of men have to do. Reporting at the office, putting in eight hours with time out for lunch, on rather drab and routine work. If Martin in hia heart, didnt like this work, didn't find it satisfying, believe me be would have worked his way out of it long ago, and Into something that gave his energy and imagination more scope. The truth is that he is a quiet, fine man, who unimaginative, quite possibly likes his work.

You are born with a joyous courageous, generous, nature. It speaks through every word of your letter. Most women want to take; you are that rare woman who wants to give.

However, no one seemed to know for sure if a poisonous snake could commit suicide by biting itself.

So the longer the lure is kept in the water, the more likely the chance of taking fish. Despite this obvious fact, there are myriad anglers who spend the major portion of any trip to lake or stream flaying the air with flyline or plug, always trying to get out Just a little farther, or changing the target of the cast. ' This type of fisherman seldom catches fish, but he is the first, usually, to shout that the stream is "fished out' or to blame his state game and fish department because he isnt filling his stringer or creel. mm HELPS ENGINES ESTES PARK, COL. There are nearly 12,000 of those keys to Bald-pat- e now. If ymiVe 'ever been a tourist in Colorado's Rocky Mountain national park you surely have seen the keyroom at Baldpate Inn. It has keys from all parts of the world large keys, small keys, keys of strange shapes and bizarre histories. The inn is a modest log building Just off the South St. Vrain Canyon road, about 10 miles from Estes Park village and an easy two hour drive from Denver. The west wing of the inn is pretty well given over to the key collection. Keys hang from the round log rafters and cover the pine walls. Visitors are encouraged to add keys to the collection, tagged with their names and the date. Gordon Mace, Baldpates proprietor, who is getting a bit thin on top himself, talks about the keys with as much sparkle in his friendly blue eye as he must have shown the day he and his brothers started the col- with big bug . . . my watch to be mended and pick up my made-ove- r hat and go home for lunch and naps, and quiet window mending at my dining-roountil the scholars come shouting and weeping home at 3.
