are confined to their homes because of some if the contagious 'diseases. If you
know- someone who has a diseas3 that you have already had, why not visit them or
give them a call. It can get pretty lonesome sitting in the house all day.
Happy Birthday to Mr. R. D. McPherson whose birthday is March 24, and to
everyone else having birthdays this week.
Now that Spring is here most of us are thinking of Spring cleaning. Here
are a few hints that might help a little.
A small throw rug can be slid under a stove, refrigerator, washer, or dryer
which is too close to the floor to allow passage of a mop. Lint and dust will
stick to the rug, which is easily washed.
A clever trick to use when cleaning windows is to vary your strokes. Dry the
inside of each window with an up-and-down stroke and do the outside with a
crosswise motion. If any streaks show, you know which side needs extra work.
An oven mitt makes a very good floor waxer and is very easily cleaned.
Don’t fbrget to go to the really big s-h-o-w "MUSIC and MADNESS" Wednesday,
March 22 at 2000 (8s00 P.M. ) at the Bering Theatre. A lot of .fine' local
talents will be presented.
That's all for this time. If you have any news please call Vicki at 194-J
or Kay at' 451.
