GETTING AROUND

Continued from page 2 The two justices of the peace in Walters, Oklahoma, have started a new organization that, we hope, will catch on in one form or another all over the country. It's called the "100 Club." You are automatically made a member if you are caught driving 100 miles an hour or more. Dues are a fine of $100.00 or more. Now, what we'd like to see are some "Your Fine Is Double Your M.P.H." Clubs, to discourage anyone who goes way over the speed limit anywhere. How about it? "No more people. Only freight." SUBURBIA TODAY Brides-To-Be in Plymouth, Massachusetts, get more than a certificate from clerk M. Herbert Craig when they come to get their marriage licenses. Mr. Craig gives each of the prospective homemakers a box that he calls a "bridal pax." In it are 15 items, including soap powder, soap, ammonia, dessert topping, sauces, instant coffee, and aspirin. Reminders of things to come—presented with the license, and "Compliments of Town Clerk M. Herbert Craig." Thanks for the tip, Helene Fran Holmberg, of Lenexa, Kansas. Mrs. Holmberg and her family never argue or get into hassles about who does what, or who hasn't done what he was supposed to do. They use a Family Note Box made from an old oatmeal carton covered with a piece of wallpaper, which is left on a low shelf in the kitchen. Beside it are a pen, paper, and a roll of cellophane tape for sealing, to be sure no one peeks at someone else's notes. The Holmbergs have found the Family Note Box brings wonderful results, especially for the children, who respond more to these written suggestions than to scolding or orders for work to be done. The young Holmbergs particularly like the occasional "Thank-You" notes for jobs well done. A sign by a used typewriter in a San Fernando, California, shop, reads "Used Only By An Elderly Pasadena Woman Who Never Went More Than 20 Words A Minute." A supermarket in Dedham, Massachusetts, says Mrs. Anne Maida, has solved the problem of what to do with the children during a long shopping spree. The store has installed a miniature theatre near the entrance that features a continuous program of colorful animated cartoons. It keeps the kids happy, lets the mother shop in peace, and saves the market quite a lot of breakage from well-meaning, busy little hands. It's a tough job for any smallish group of people to patrol a large area—for any worthwhile reason—but the Garden Club Council of Grosse [?]nte, Michigan, got around this problem by putting a large clip-out coupon in the local paper. It was headed "Sore Spots for Clean-Up," and asked friends and neighbors to help by filling in the locations of vacant lots, alleys, and other areas that were in need of attention. Then they got right down to the job of cleaning up instead of wasting time hunting around for sore spots on their own.
