Now 1 have a query some Of the
ladies might help me with. My
little son, aged AZ will have his
tonsilS removed the latter part OF
April after having had several
bouts this fall and winter with
severe sore throatS and tonSilitis
which I. too, caught from him on
a few occasions. I did want to
take him where it would be warm
and sunny after he can travel.
perhaps sometime in May. We are
on very modest salary. as my
husband is a Navy enlisted man
and will not be able to take us,
so we won't have too much to
spend for a luxury vacation by
any means. However. the doctor
has strongly recommended a
change for my little boy. so we
want to help him as much as we
can. Does any one know of a
quiet inexpensive resort town in
Florida or vicinity where we
would have access to a sunny cli-
mate and bathing beach? We
would stay depending on the
budget) 10 days to two weeks.

Last fall there was a request
from some gentleman asking for
place to purchase sorghum mo-
lasses. I, being from a sorghum
country, know just how much this
meant to him, so I began search
ing for my ad. to learn where I
had purchased it here. never
did find it until this week. and
feel quite sure it can still be had
and hope the person reads this.
He can contact me through the
RICH.
May I ask for some help for a
really annoying problem from
some one who is using the new
spin dry washing machine. I have
the new model with the four
letter name, first letter T, that
washes beautifully and gets clothes
clean. But when I spin the water
off after rinsing all the lint and
dirt settles right on the clothes
and clings to the wet clothes. I
follow directions exactly and have
tried various changes and still the
same. Now I am wringing by
hand the better pieces in the wash
from the suds and putting in sta
tionary tub of water to rinse. That
makes so much extra work and I
should have saved more than half
price of machine by getting the
ld-fashioned Wringer type.
