As I get older I was begi nning to think that you could be a fig ment of my imagination. You know they say, imagination is funny-It makes a cloudy day sunny, makes the bees th ink of honey. However. your letter has placed me on the right track . It's encouraging to know · that you are, indeed. a real li ve girl, if you' ll forgive me for usin g the term girl loostily. You know frankly, Aunt Maude, I'm impre ssed with your longevity. You are an amazing person. I know climbing around the mountai n all of your life probabl y has been a contributing factor. Of course, Uncle Charlie's homemade bl ackberry wine and that "hooch" from the still have also probably given you that extra shot, ip the arm . 'Isn't is terrific what they' re discoven ng the se days'!·, The latest suggest ion is that one has a drink of booze or two ev-ery day for he alth reasons, not to me ntion the fun involved. Remember when they decreed that alcohol was to be avoided ? Seems· like you were doing the right thing all the NEW OFFICERS - Delores Frank, outgoing president, installed · the new officers of the Riverview Garden Club at a recent meting. Installed were from the left, Gladys Thomas, treasurer; Marilyn Hannum, secretary; Ruth A~;~ne Balderson, vice president, and Maxine Whitehead, president. Each of the new officers were pre1811ted roses by Mrs. Frank. time . I' m ·sorry that things are so qui et for you there in Prairie Junctio n. We don' t have much soc ial life either. For quite a while if we hadn't made frequent trips to the funeral homes we would" 't have had any a t all. However, things are picki ng up. I don 'tb ave the wine and hooc h to keep me pepped up so I do a variety ~ f medications these days. As a result. I make frequent trips to 'the drug store. I take so many .pills- there 's one for everything although I sometimes wonder about their effective ness-that I now keep a running written record each day of whic h ones I've taken )md when. ' Works good unless k forget t<;> \)'rite the information down . Seems like I'm always running out of !)ne medication or another. So the drug store visits kind of add an extra facet to my life. The folks down there treat me real nice. They seem to like me pretty well . Not that I am all that lovable but I do put money in the pot. And you know, Aunt Maude, rqoney does make the world go ' round. · We live and learn don ' t we, Aunt Maude ? I' ve even come to the point these days that I keep a knife and a pair of scissors handy at all times to cope with the secure product packaging . I suspect the kids we ' re protecting with all of these precautions, don't need knives and sci s:;ors. We will be observing trick or treat night here this week . I do~' t suppose you have many little ones rapping on your door • since you do live on the side of a mountain. We ' re sort of in the same boat. Being on a_dead end street with not many houses. our visitof.s are quite limited. They arc even more so since we installed the sprinkling system which douses the little beggars with streams of water when they ring the door bell. Even though you say I shouldn ' t send stamps so that you'can keep in touch more easily, I insist on doing this. If they don ct have enough stick-tim on 'em, just put a touch of milk duds on them- that'll do it. . , Is there something special you'd like for Christmas? Somehow I felt that you weren't very impressed with the bikini I sent last year. Beuer luck next time. And do keep smiling.

ROBERT C. CYKIERT , New York University School of Medicine AP Special Features An. esltmated 30 million Americans now prefer contact lenses over eyeglasses, either for cosmetic purposes or to increase the quality of their vision- and"the numbers conttnue to grow. Nevertheless, without the _ptoper fit and diligent care, contact lenses can pose problems for the ~earer. Caring for contact lenses IS simple. They should be removed at bedtime ~nd left to soak in safe chemical· disinfection solutions avatlable at pharmacies and most supermarkets. These solu· tions are well tolerated •.e.ven by people with sensat1ve eyes. They also arc very easy to use, requ'iring no max.ing nor mea ~ suring of solutions. · , -Contact lenses offer mariy advantages over eyeglasses, primarily -better vision Since they fit directly on the eyeball, con, tact lenses move wtth the eyes. with no distortion and no loss o~ penpheral v1sion. ' · Other advantages are that contact lenses - either the hard or the soft lens van 0ues - are, for most, more comfonable than eyeglasses. Unl•kc glasses, ·they do not fog up when the wearer goes from warm to cold areas, are not affected by sweat and are more pracucal in rain or mists. Addittonal benefits are that they do not have the problem of glass lens reflection and are generally less ~os tly than eyeglasses. Almost all contact lenses manufactured today are htghly oxygen permeable, the benefit, primanly. that they allow more oxygen to reach the cornea and avoid corneal injuncs assoc1 atcd with the older hard lenses anllthick soft lens models. Nevertheless, there are some disadvantages to wearing contact lenses. Dust or gnt can get trapped under hard, "gas permeable'' contact lenses. or lenses may discolor or cloud up when i:xposed to certain chemicals such as those present in hairspray or paint. This can be particularly troublesome for people who work m factones who are exposed to chemical fumes . In addition , soft' lenses can dry out tn windy or dry conditions, and occasionally vapors or gases may be absorbed m lenses and cause eye trnlatlon and-or damage. · But the most common reason for discomfon with contact lenses is a poor fit. When properly fitted, soft contact lenses should cover the corneas of the eyes completely ana move only slightly With every blink. If the lenses ride upward and outward, leaving the mner and lower areas of the corneas exposed, loc alized ttritauon and drying of the exposed cotneas can occur, causing the eyes to feel dry and scratchy as the day goes on. ' If the contact lenses fail to move enough. the eyes can get irritated and red , causing vision to blur There also arc some dangers associated w1th contact lenses. For example, contact lenses worn ovcrntght - whether standard or disposable soft lenses- have been shown in many scientific stud1es to be more likely to Cause corneal infections, which. if left untreated, ca n permanently damage sight. fortunately. th 1s 1s very rare. . Another prohlem assot:tatcd with wearing contact lenses for days at a time without rerTioval and. cleaning is chrome oxygen depnvatHm to the cornea. which responds by growing new, abnormal blood ve.<sc ls. Th1s conditiOn, known as ~.;ornea l ncovasculanzation, can decrease vi~ion. create glare and d1stbrt the cornea.

It IS not surprising, then, to learn of the success of replacement services, firms that keep large inventones of discontinucd china patterns. The first step in findtng missing pieces of your china pattern is to bc~o mc familiar wilh the terminolo, gy of the china trade. The next step is to catalog the pieces you have and those pieces you need.· Establish categories· within each heirl~om pattern you collect. The most fragile piece in the basic place setung is the teacup, which is the keystone of any dinne.Ware set. "When people tell me they have eight p,lace settings of a certain pattern," recounts Asheville, N.C., auctioneer Robert Brunk, "I ask how may teacups they have. If the answer is three, I tell them they have three place settings, not eight." Record the number of pieces you . have in each category m list form, including a condition report. Create a column for those pieces you are missing or wish to replace.
