Show OF ALL THINGS Si ' (''" Pint Of Gas, Please ' When I drive into a gas station I got nervous. There among the grease and tires and cars stuck upon high poles so that you can see their frightening undersides, I am in a strange world which only men seem to comprehend. Last time I was in one, the smiling attendant appeared at my window, obviously waiting for directions. Um , . . fill er up! I said gaily, acting as if I knew all. Okay," he said. "With what? I nodded wisely. So far, so good. Oh, gasoline! He shifted weight. Great, maam. But do you want regular or ethyl? BIG QUESTION Come to think of it my husband always asks for SUPER something. But what if Im not at the station that carries insultSuper something, and if I ask for ?t theyll be hurt and ed? Is ethyl always Super? What if I got ethyl and it mixed with the little bit of Super I already have m the tank and it exploded? The man stood, holding the bridge of his nose, his eyes Have you decided, lady? closed. I took the plunge. Ethyl." I sat with my eyes closed, hunched against the big explo- - Of i By TERRELL DOUGAN Neighbor sion. But the man came by and began washing my windshield. He looked at me and then asked, Are you all right under the hood? Now I may not know much about gas stationj, but crazy Im not. I called back jovially, hoping he'd believe me. Of course I'm all right under the hood! A Ire Hurts By ELIZABETH L. POST of the Emiiy Post Institute PEEK Dear Mrs. Tost: I had been told about the odd ways of a neighbor, but I did not miqd, as we both came into a new Why dont I just take a peek? he smiled. I sat stone still, and he walked around to the front of the car and lifted the lid up. He stood there, shaking his head. Then he dipped a long stick into something. He came back with a towel wrapped around the stick and showed it to me, Youre down a quart. He seemed to feel that was very significant. I hadnt the foggiest idea what he was talking about. Do you want me to add a quart? he asked. Yes. Yes, do that. ! -- neighborhood about the same ' . time. Even though she has never been known to return any kind of invitation, she has been invited to my home several times. No one else ever invites her to anything because of her peculiar ways. Recently I had a very serious illness in my family and had to go back and forth to the hospital. This neighbor has taken offense at the fact I was cool to her (on a day when I was so worried I hard- ly knew what I was doing) and didnt invite her over. Should I have gone on with the invitations to drop over even though my days were 4 WEARING THIN After he finished pouring a quart of whatever it was into the something, he filled and shined and wiped and closed the lid down and came back for the money. As I handed it tq him, he said, By the way, I filled your radiator with water, your carburetor needs an adjustment, your engine really needs an overhaul, and your fan belt is wearing thin. Was the man speaking English? Thank you," I said, and drove off. In the rear view mirror I saw him watching me, shaking his head with pity. I could see he had divined the truth about me: that I climb into the car and know that if I turn a little key and push a pedal down on the floor, it works and takes me places. Besides, Ill bet there are plenty of things HE cant do that I can, like make a crab casserole. Thin fan belt, my eye! The smart aleck. Just for that I think I wont go back to that station anymore. Ill try another one. Theres one on the edge o' town I still havent been to yet. . . . " ' utterly disrupted? Now she is talking about my coldness and lack of manners. ' This is hurtful.

These statistics indicate that mothers arent following intelligent safety precautions that can protect their babies from bad accidents. Infants usually fall head first. This is extremely dangerous because at this age the skull has a thin wall, and brain damage can occur quite for be prevented if manufacturers would pay more attention to safety. Most accident" occur when the child climbs out of a crib, even though the sides are up. Cribs should be designed so that the mattress can be lowered and the sides raised higher. A good way to a baby-proo- f crib is to cover the top with netting as is often done in hospitals. Also, dont put large toys in the crib which could be used as stepping stones over the side. Another piece of furniture that must be used carefully is the infant dressing table. Some manufacturers are now making them safer by adding sides to the table top or using babies tumble from furniture ORTHO-PEDI- C MATTRESSES 95 Sag. 69.95 MATTRESS CITY Cottonwood Mall (See Safety on Page 278-523- Downstairs 7 DONT JUST SET IT.
