Monterey

Mrs. C. j. G.. College Park
To Mrs. r. s., Rockville, since
we have just returned from a
year In Monterey, and I also
have 2 small children. I believe
I can answer most Of your
questions about the locality.
The Monterey Peninsula
consists of Monterey, Seaside.
Pacific Grove and Carmel.
Carmel Is by far the prettiest
village I've ever seen and I'm
a dyed-in-the-wool New Eng
lander. It Is slightly more ex-
pensive to live there. Pacific
Grove is nice and has some
good family neighborhoods as
does Monterey. Seaside is a
little more commercial but
does have some nice housing
developments. There is a no.
ticeable difference in prices
between Seaside and the other
communities.
There is Wherry housing at
fort Ord for Army families.
1t is about 7 miles from the
language school. I believe the
Navy also has one for the Post
Graduate School students. The
main objection to these Wherry
units is that they are very
hard to heat. They have con-
crete floors and the dampness
gets in and stays. They have
stoves and refrigerators, but
many of the rentals have them.
1t never gets hot and it never
gets very cold. The tempera-
ture varies all year-round from
about 40 to IS. 1t is very
foggy, particularly in July and
August. Most of us found the
water too cold to swim in but
the beaches at Carmel are very
nice.
Prices on clothing and furn-
iture are higher than here.
There is one department store.
Food, however is slightly lower,
particularly in Seaside.
I assume you mean nursery
schools for your 3-year-old.
There are two good ones, one
in Carmel and one in Pacific
Grove. and also cooperative
at Fort Ord.
My suggestion to you on

Mildew in Florida?
L. B. S., Washington

Il. q. D., uSHWgLOH
We plan to move to Florida
shortly and I am very con-
cerned with what I have heard
about mildew, which. they say,
ruins ones shoes, luggage, furs,
etc. I do hope some of the
readers can advise me of the
seriousness of this situation
and, if 1t is true, can give us
some helpful suggestions as to
how to combat it. I shall ap-
preciate any help in this con-
nection, and since the Clear
ing House seems to be instru-
mental in solving all such
problems, I'm hoping!

ton: ! see you are just like me
IN wanting to use and save
everything that comes to hand.
And my attic and basement
are always full! But here is
a wonderful use for the citrus
fruit bags. Being short of
closet space. as always in Flor
ida houses, used them for
shoe bags. hanging them on
cup hooks inside the closet
door. They permitted ventila-
ton and visibility and kept
shoes off the floor where they
would have mildewed in that
dank climate. To store any,
thing visibly, these bags are
wonderful.

Mesh orange and grape
fruit bags can be made inter-
woven with yarn to make place
mats, scatter rugs, etc. I've
found it best to soak the bags
for a half an hour so any
paper will easily peel off. Bags
can be tied, sewed or left
fringed. The size of the mesh
decides the size of the yarn to
be used.
If anyone has any back is

! / saw it several weeks ago and
I'm still tingling. Documentary

| Perhaps the most incredible
thing about this superb show Il
THAT NBC was able to find 81
much film about Czarist anc
Communist Russia.
Producer Henry Solomon. Q
historian by training and in.
Iclination and q Tv producer b.
financial happenstance. edited
thousands of feet of film to gel
the footage for the hour docu-
mentary. Since 1t covers Russian
history from the abortive revolu-
ton Of 1905, much had to be left
out. There may even be an argu-
ment about Salomon's selection
OF what he did include. from q
Theoretical point OF view.
/ Few will disagree, however
that Solomon and his staff (most
Iof whom were employed in the
production Of MICS stunning
Victory at Sea- have produced q
highly dramatic. Informative
and thought-provokipg study OF
the Soviet rise to power.
! You'll see the great novelist
Tolstoi, who predicted the ex-
cesses Of the revolutionists; the
Car and his family and their
lovely retreat by the Black Sea;
Lenin as a young exile, and
scenes Of the unsuccessful and
successful revolutions. There are
shots Of mass executions that
are simply fantastic: and stag
Igering sequences of Russians who
were allowed to starve to death.
Nightmare In Red" is UNDER
standably heavy on Russian his
tory prior to the Iron Curtain
clampdown. 1t is nevertheless
aazing to me that no one UNDER
took a study Of this type prior
to the NBC effort. It should be
required viewing for students and
grown.ups.
Minor Objection: The docu-
mentary seems to end on a note
OF wishful thinking, although
Salomon assured us by phone
that such was not the intention.
This effect is brought about by
the use Of a stirring poem by
the Russian Pushkin.

least one member on his pledge this
would make us know they were try

pledged.

certain number of members and
they have gone beyond the pledge
made. Some have gone more than
halfway in getting their number:
Some have almost doubled their
pledge: What have you done?
