PUZZLE?
PATTERN FOR MANGER?
CAR DOOR LOCKS.
mrs. G. F.. Silver Spring.
Some years ago when I was
a child I had a wooden puzzle
which I loved for years. It
consisted of about eight or nine
pieces of wood in shapes Of
tables and chairs and they all
fitted together to become one
solid block of wood about
4x4x8 inches. have tried the
largest toy stores I know. I
feel sure that the puzzle is still
made today.
I saw the pattern for it in q
hobby magazine, but don't feel
up to attempting to make it,
as I believe it would require an
expert and special tools. II
any one has seen this item
lately, would appreciate q tip
from them as to where I can
locate several for my nieces.
A second request would
like to find patterns for q
typical manger scene to be used
at Christmas. I want it for an
outdoor display at church, but
I could enlarge the patterns
if only small ones can be found.
I need silhouette patterns be-
cause the figures would be cut
from wood and painted. This
may sound like an odd request
in August. but the project will
take many hours to complete.
There have been several re-
quests regarding safety locks
for the back doors Of four-door
cars where children ride in the
back. Our back doors open at
the back Of the car rather than
in the middle. We got locks
which are chrome bars which
resemble our chrome door
handles.
They are installed to slide to
the left or right. like q bolt ON
a house door. We put our child
in the back, then slide the bolt
from the outside to the right.
SO it overlaps on to the door.
Slide it back to the left to let
the child out. They have saved
us hours Of worry and many
gray hairs. Nobody notices
these locks on our car since
they resemble the door handles.
I find that Readers Clear
ing House" is a byword among
the homemakers when they
gather at school meetings,
church meetings or just plain
friendly gatherings. More pow
er to you!
ANSWER TO QUERY?
mrs. S. L. L.. Hyattsville)
c. D. T.. Hyattsville: The
Bible reference you seek is
found in Hebrews. 1871, but
contrary to your idea it is not
proof that we now have immor-
tality. Read the two preced-
ings verses: "And these all.
obtained q good report
through faith, received not the
promise: God having provided
some better thing for us, that
they without us should not be
made perfect" Hebrews l:s9-40
A similar truth Is expressed
in Cor, 15:51-54. which teaches
that when Jesus comes the
righteous dead are raised and
with the living righteous receive
immortality together. Also. in
harmony with this though, 1t
speaks in Romans. At, Of those
who "seek for Immortality"
One does not seek for some-
thing he already has. "Our
Lord Jesus Christ only hath
Immortality" Tim, 6:14-16.
I'VE are made q spectacle unto
the world and to angels, and
to men," I Cor, 40. These, -
cloud Of witnesses" are observ-
Ing our Christian course.
CARE OF PONSETTIAs?
Mr. J. F. B., Arl3n0ton)
Shortly after the first Of the
year there was an article on the
care Of poinsettias. Az I recall.
the plant was to be trimmed
and placed in q dark room on
Its side. I followed these in
structions and now have four
sprouting plants.
I am in the dark as to what I
should do now to aid their de-
velopment. Would you be kind
enough to ask any Of your read
srs and furnish information that
will enable me to develop these
poinsettia plants ut Christmas
time.
