The flood Of mail which greeted
this columns suggestion that we oil
get together and make our New
Years resolutions together month
late, has been unbelievable. There
have been some wonderful sugges-
tions and some unusual ones, too.
My favorie was from little Myra
Houston Of the Bronx, New York
City. Little Myra submits the fol-
lowing resolution: ST resolve that
will stop the Good Humor man
every time he passes the house and
win buy ice cream from him so
that he will make a LOT Of money to
buy food for his wife and children"
Well, Myra, you certainly have
novel idea there. I'm sure that you
aren't interested in eating the ice
cream, are you, honey?
To strike a more serious note,
though, we come to the ten resolu-
tons which we feel are the best for
us all to adopt. To the many others
who submitted their ideas, we hope
that you'll keep reading and writing
All of the resolutions were good and
they made this writer feel mighty
proud and mighty pleased. Now for
the winners:
1. resolve to strive to do more
for the less fortunate, regardless OF
race, in 1850, for I feel that he who
serves God best serves his fellow

Books i'm Brief

''The Story of Man in Yellow
stone" by Merrill D. Beal ($5, The
Caxton Printers, Ltd), is volume
of special interest to Montanans. It
is a detailed and thorough history
of this area "a part of the Louisiana
Purchase) which $50 years ago first
attracted and challenged those with
a restless urge for adventure and
exploration-John Golfer; the Fol-
som Cook party; the Washburn-
Langford-Doane expedition.
The author, professor of history
at Idaho State College during the
school year and a ranger-naturalist
in Yellowstone Park through the
summer months, has an unusual
background to interpret the story to
the thousands of travellers who visit
this oldest of national parks every
year.

In your department noticed re-
quest from M. j. B., Treasure county,
for information about sizing hooked
rugs. AS I have made quite few,
this is the way do it. I get the regu-
lar rug sizing, usually I ''bum" some
from rug cleaning establishment.
LePages will do, if you can't get the
other. A pound of dry size will make
a gallon after it is mixed with water.
Tack the rug, face down, on the
floor or some solid surface, making
sure it is stretched quite tightly.
Then take the prepared sizing, which
should be fairly thin, like thick
cream, and spread it evenly over the
back. use my hand so as to see that
all the stitches are well coated.
The main thing is to be sure it is
thoroughly dry before taking it up.
If you don't it has tendency to curl
up. I have the tacks couple of
inches apart, and put in quite firmly
because the cloth or burlap tightens
as it dries. l hope have made my
self clear, but if M. J. B. wishes any
more information I would be glad
to answer any questions.-Mrss n.
NJ Cascade county.
