Arizona Study Gives
Suggestions For
Safe Toy Storage

Any parent who has tripped
over a child's roller coaster or
barked his shins on a toy truck

In the Arizona study, farm
homemakcrs reported that their
young children usually played
where their mothers were work
ing: consequently. these mothers
wanted storage places for toys in
kitchen. living room. and bed
room.
AS a result Of the study. the
Station suggests that shelves for
trucks, wagons and other toys
used in active play be built in the
child's bedroom. where the noise
will be least disturbing to the
rest Of the family. and that toys
for quiet play. such as books and
small toys. be kept on shelves in
the living room. Toys for creative
or imaginative play may be kept
in the kitchen

lies:

and also take bar review course,
under the Korean CT Bill. What
do I put down on my application

A. You should lis. both your OBJ

both in order to get both.
Q. want to get a CT loan to
buy a house. What is the largest
amount of money | may borrow
from my bank?
A. The size Of the loan depends
entirely on the amount Of money

Borrowers May Find Future
Picture Darker Than Past

The U. S. Treasury in recent
years has set the direction of in
terest rates. For many years il
has kept them low, favoring Dor
rowers over savers.
A reverse trend started many
months ago with a revolt against
this policy by the Federal Reserve
Board. Interest rates began to rise
slowly.
Financial circles expect the new
administration to keep tn !. ..ld
going and perhaps speed it up at
any sign of the start of another
inflationary movement.

part of the new issue on longer
term basis. If so, ii would be but
the first Of steps the new treasury
regime is known to favor-the re-
duction of the floating debt and
the transfer Of as much as possible
of it to a long term basis and into
hands of savers who win hold il
until maturity.
The nine billion dollar issue ma.
turing next month is part Of the
floating debt-federaI debt that
comes due on a short term basis
and has to be constantly turned
over and reiSsued. There is some
40 billion dollars worth Of such
issues running from 9l-day bills to

Chapter Fifteen

IT WAS Tuesday afternoon. a
4 week later, when the front door
bell rang sharply. Anthea was
working in the sitting-room, and
both Joe and Mario were at a
studio conference. The French
windows were open, and she
could see Blanca sitting in the
sun at the far end of the garden,
Sllcing beans for dinner. She
called, 'All right. Blanca, I'll CO.
She went through the hall and
opened the front door. For a brief
moment she stood staring at the
girl who stood there, fascinated,
speechless, wordless, her mind
saying over and over again, This
is the girl. This is the girl Mario
and Joe are looking for. This is
Pierette.
AT first she thought that the
girl must have read somewhere
about the part, and come to ask
Mario to give it to her. It was as
though, magically, the girl who
had been in Joe'S mind when he
wrote that strange and fascinat-

SEA
SECRETS

Q. What softens the bones of
canned fish,
A. Contrary to popular opinion,
the bones of canned fish are soft
ened by heat and not the oil con-
tanned in the flesh. Much softening,
takes place during the processing
interval, in which the sealed cans
are heated for a period of time
sufficient to destroy all organisms
that might cause spoilage. Canned
salmon, sardines, kippered her
ring, and other fish products have
bones Softened by this heating aft
er the cans are packed.
@. What is the cause of the tiny.
holes sometimes found in dead sea
shells?
A. Certain small bivalve shells
belonging to the clam and oyster
group occasionally fall victim to
certain predatory conchs of the
Genera That's and Purpura. Called
"oyster drills, these small conchs
will attach themselves to bivalve
and drill through the shell with
their file-like tongues or radulae.
When the shell has been perform
ed, the oyster drill injects a poi
sonous. purplish fluid into its VIC
tim and absorbs its flesh and body
juices. Frequently shells showing
the tiny holes produced by oyster
drills are found along the beach.
@. What is candle fish?
A. This is one of the popular
names of the smelt, Osmerus NOR
dax, and certain of its freshwater
allies. These fish are noted for the
delicate flavor of their oil-filled
flesh, and It is reported that some
of them, if dried, can be used as
candles after a wick is placed in
side them. o. Mordax, the sea
smelt, is remarkable for the long
recurved teeth which it bears on
its tongue. They feed freely on
smaller fishes, swimming crusta-
cea, etc.
Q. Do whales swim in deep or
shallow water?
A. Whales normally swim in deep
water, though at the surface.
Sperm and bottlenose whales and
their allies are capable, on the
other hand, of diving to great
depths in order to catch this squid
on which they commonly feed.
Sperm whales are further aided in
this by the possession of large
oil case in the head which is be-
lieved to function both as hydro
static organ to buoy them back to
the surface and as pressuer pack,
ing which closes the blow hole and
so prevents water from being
forces into the lungs.
@. Are octopus and squid relat-
ed?
A. Yes. Both belong to the great
Glass of Cephalopods, or "head-
footed mollusks. The principal diff
ference are as follows: The squids
have more or less elongate bodies
equipped with pair of swimming
flaps or fins on the posterior por-
ton, there is rod ike stiggening
structure (called the "pen") lying
along the lack beneath the skin,
the head is separated from the
body, and there are eight adhesive
arms plus pair of retractable
tentacles. In the octopuses there
are usually no fins, the ''pen" is
lacking, the head is partially con-
nected with the body without a
meek" fold, and there are only
eight arms, none Of which are re-
tractable.
