HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

One can save flour and salt bags
wash them thoroughly and use
them in the refrigerator for lettuce,
parsley, or other vegetables.
It is a good idea to keep a small
file box for addresses of workmen
or tradespeople who may be needed.
File under the trade of the individual
such as Plumber, Washing Machine,
ETC., then name the type of service.
