DEAR ABBY: My husband
Just informed me that he is
going to be away" for
Christmas and New Years.
He owns his own business
and can make his own work
schedule, so I know that If
he wanted to be home with
me, he could manage it. He
gives me the excuse that this
is the busiest" time of the
year for him, but I am not
convinced. Does he have a
legitimate excuse?
NOBODY'S FOOL.
Only if his name is Santa
Claus.
DEAR ABBY: I wish you
would write a column about
how the parents of today are
getting their young people
off to a bad start in married
life. First, the folks 90 in

The young -marriedS are still
paying off the rings when
they go deeper in debt for
furniture, TV, appliances and

of taking along an older, ex-

sell them cheap furniture that
will fall, apart in a year. They
don't anticipate dental bills.

More bu. Less Frequent Service
The mail doesn't come twice day,
as it did in Chicago They have de-
livery three times a week by lady
mail carrier Here the mail carrier
not only brings the mail, but takes
the grocery order one mail day and
brings out the groceries from Troy the
next. Also, there's always a bit of
neighborhood news as Bonnie chats
with her, and the lady mail carrier
will gladly give here patrons lift to
the neighbor's up the line.
The countryside affords a relaxed
life that many fast-living people would
envy. Harry likes to paint, and even
though he comes home late, he still
finds time to put some of the beautiful
scenes on canvas. Bonnie sings while
she works, and finds more time for
reading than ever before. The book
mobile from the county library enables
the family to good reading at any level.
The family watches deer leap and
play in the meadow below; the rustic
rail fences afford open air seats for
the nature show. And they all look
forward to week-endS of hunting and
fishing. Harry tanned the black tail
deer hide last fall and is now tanning
bear hide, head and all, for the liv-
ing room. He is also teaching their
oldest son the art of taxidermy
It's gentle quiet life, and the Franks
family feel they have togetherness
worth more than all the conveniences
and financial opportunity given up to

Recognize Signs
Of Good Fit

A DRESS THAT fits well looks as if
it belongs" on you. And one Of the
most important facets of the fit is the
amount of ease recommended. You
should. have three or four inches ease
at the bustline, none to one inch at the
waistline, and ore to five inches at the
hipline when standing. A comfortable
sleeve should be two to four inches
larger in circumference than the upper
arm. Not so much is needed at the
lower arm, perhaps only one-half inch.

HOW MANY PEOPLE in cities say
they'd like to sell out and move to
the mountains The Harry Franks Jr.
family of suburban Chicago did just
that. They were tired of the city en-
vironment, so sold their home and
came to Montana.
Both Bonnie and Harry Franks were
raised in the Chicago area. They lived
in a nice residential district, but were
still unhappy with the environment.
They wanted more family life and
closer relationship with God and Ma
ture.
This was in September, 1860 The
Franks family arrived in the Libby
area and fell in love with their acreage
on Pine Creek. The quiet beauty of the
5O-year old log cabin and the pure
mountain spring with its ice cold water
this was what they wanted
Housing Problem
Their new home, this one room log
cabin, presented problem. The roof
leaked, the dirty sheet rock sagged
from the ceiling, the walls were paint
ed all colors, and the attic was reached
by climbing up a rickety ladder and
going through a small broken window.
The whole set of buildings was in very
bad repair.
Bonnie and Harry Franks camped
out while cleaning house, then started
gradually to turn their ancient house
into a modern home. They spent many
evenings trying to visualize their home
as it would be. and finally decided on
their plans. They would connect the
house and the tool shed, remodel the
kitchen and make the upstairs into
bedrooms.
In the year they have lived in their
home, the Franks have cleaned, re-
paired and painted the downstairs OF
the log cabin They now have living
room and family room anyone would
enjoy. And there are plants in every
window. Decorating the picturesque

cabin is gun rack Harry made and
a hat rack he fashioned from the
antlers of a black tail buck he shot in
their back yard last fall.
Kitchen Conveniences
The kitchen in the log cabin now
provides them with work table, built
ms, a sink, kitchen shallow well pump,
a propane refrigerator and combina-
tion range. 1t is very honey.
Harry and Bonnie finished a small
downstairs bedroom for themselves and
have in it the lovely furniture they
brought with them from Chicago A
tanned deer hide makes nice soft
rug.
The upstairs, too, has progressed in
this year. They now have a stairway
leading upstairs to two spacious bed
rooms with big clothes closets.
No matter what the weather, the
Franks home is comfortable It's cool
in summer and warm and radiant with
the heat from their wood heater in
winter And the view from every win
dow is breath taking. The meadow
below and the mountains in the back
ground set the scene.
Family Livestock
Harry Franks is now employed at a
local lumber company, though he oc-
cassionally returns to Chicago for short
periods to help out in the florist busi-
ness that he left Their livestock is just
enough to keep the rest of the family
busy. Bonnie has to milk Spot. the Hol-
stein cow, and feed Muley, her beauti-
full white faced calf She tends the
chickens, then let's the children assist
in carrying water, chopping wood and
caring for the big garden.
Spot gives six gallons of milk
day, providing the family with sweet
butter and butter milk, cottage cheese
and plenty of milk and cream. Ten
eggs a day are plenty for family
of five. Bonnie bakes all her own
bread, cakes and pies, and all her
other foods are kitchen fresh too.

Motorized" 1t takes 400 strokes with
the handle to wash one load of clothes.

Don't Make
Money Mistakes


DO YOU THINK that buying is al
ways cheaper than renting? Or that
ready-made foods always cost more
than if you prepare them yourself?
All these ideas are incorrect. And
it's because of misconceptions like these
that many people lose money when they
try to save it.
Here are seven money mistakes peo-
pie make. and advice on how to avoid
them:
l. They shop too often. A homemak-
er should shop only about once week.
You'll have more time to plan your
purchasing and you'll do less impuIsive
buying. And you'll get a better-per-
haps startling estimate of how much
you really spend.
2. They are fooled by appearances.
You pay more for boneless roast, but
it actually saves you more in the long
run. You'd think you pay more for
ready-made cakes and pies, but they
actually cost less than If you bought
all the ingredients yourself.
g. They don't anticipate their needs.
Psychologists have proven that people
will buy too many foodstuffs If they
shop when they are hungry. Common
sense indicates that if you shop when
you desperately need something, you
won't compare prices and quality. AL
ways buying on a hand-to-mouth basis
costs you the savings you might get
during bargain days.
A. They buy before they consider rent
ing. If you wax your floors only twice
year, it is probably more economical to
rent waxing machine than to buy one.
But, considering the upkeep costs of an
automobile, renting may not be as wise
as going by bus What you must COM
pare are: The renting charge-and the
cost of the appliance, its service and
repair charges, its frequency of use,
and its life expectancy.
S. They pay for that they can do
themselves. No one is a born Mr.. Fix
It. But anyone can learn how Purchas-
ing a handbook on plumbing or auto
repair can reap dividends. Examples:
If your window sticks, try waxing the
grooves before calling a glazier. If your
drainpipe leaks, cover it with wet plas-
ter and cloth, tie it with a string, and
let it dry.
6. They are fooled by guarantees. A
guarantee doesn't always do that. Some
times it will have instructions you must
follow to make the warranty good. And
occasionally, the cutoff time is un-
realistic Your best guarantee is a we'll
known brand in the store of reliable
merchant.
z. They are too trusting or too neg
Igent about cash. When you give a
cashier a $40 bill, mention the amount
to him. Even better, get into the habit
of saying, That's so cents from $40.
Don't be too shy to count your change.
If you want to give away money, at
least get a reputation as philan-
thropist.

Fabric Standards
We don't always know what
fabric to use for different items
Of clothing or home furnishings.
To help us know "a little better
what we i buying and where
It Will work best, the American
Standards Association has estab-
lIShed minimum qualifications
THAT a fabric must meet when
used for a specific purpose.
Performance requirements were
set up for woven and knitted fab
RIGS used for rs different articles
of clothing and home furnishings.
These requirements are the mini
mum for satisfactory wear of the
fabrics used for a particular item
of clothing or home furnishing ma
terlal, regardless of the fiber
used.
The code name for these stand
ards is 'L22" and this is what we
as consumers are going to be look
ing for on labels. The 'L22"
standard tells. us that a fabric
can be used successfully for the
purpose listed on the label based
on tests for breaking strength of
the fabric, color faStneSS to fad
