In the-e states, where the grapefruit and oranges grow, along with many a vegetable, retired people are living on S2OO a month. And are happy doing it. They also are living on Kh»o a month in the big cities of the North, and getting by satisfactorily. They aren't so happy doing it for reasons stated below. Every time the S2OO figure is mentioned here there Come protests fiom people approaching re tirement who say a couple can’t live on Uiis sum.

It continuously records on a thin ribbon of aluminum foil flight data syeh as barometric altitude, indicated air sjiced. vertical acceleration, compass heading and elapsed time, with this information, investigators are able to reconstruct events hciding up to apccidents, near mid-air collisions, aborted takeoffs, missed approaches and the like.

Many new homes are equipped with a "bonus” G room, a real time saver w for the busy housewife. 3 Also called a "mud room” K it has an outside entrance, '] either side or rear of the 5j house. During rainy or in- * clement weather, family members use this entrance, depositing their soiled or wet apparel here before tracking through the rest of the house. In some older homes, I ' wasted space may be con- ”

verted into a "mud room." The : ideal "mud room" has both a lavatory and a shower, hanging space for soiled or wet garments, as well as clean ones, a place for dirty and clean shoes or slippers, and

There arc occasions when it is quite proper for a girl to invite a buy tn be her escort—sorority and club parties, for example. That is, unless times have changed since this writer was a teenager. Another way a girl may let a boy know she likes him is simply by telling him, not directly, but through a mutual friend This is not dune by saying this: "Go tell him that 1 like him." Instead, it is only necessary to say, "I think he is very nice. I like him very much.” You can lx* quite sure that this friend will tell him at the first opportunity. You said it yourself. There is a "right" way fur young ladies to act. Haven't you noticed it? The girl who "chases” boys may catch a few—yet every single one of them gets away as quickly as be can.
