MOTHER AND I SEE EYE TO EYE

"We think alike about so many things. Take Tampax, for instance. Mother's the one who told me about it. She's such an active person, and she knows I like to be active, too. She explained how Tampax absorbs internally. How it's unfelt and invisible when it's in place. And that means you can tub or shower and be just as active as you like every single day all year 'round. It's wonderful when your mother understands so much about what's important to you." Many mothers tell their daughters about Tampax because they want to spare their girls the discomfort and embarrassment of "the other way." Tampax internal sanitary protection is so much nicer, more convenient. There's no odor, no chafing, and no disposal problem. Tampax users number among the millions-both married and single women. They say Tampax is a better way. Why not ask your mother, or some older woman you can confide in? Our good reputation is your reassurance. Tampax Incorporated, Palmer, Mass. NO BELTS NO PINS NO PADS NO ODOR Regular TAMPAX Invented by a doctor-now used by millions of women

COMMUTE

Continued from page 29 I guess that about sums up everybody's feelings, whether they're secretaries or managers. And we have some of each in Readi-Riders, along with advertising men and insurance agents. I'm a technical writer for an advertising agency. One of our members admits to being chief rate clerk for a railroad! We get along so well that we all get together twice a year with our spouses-once at Christmas time and again for a summer outing. An organization like ours isn't hard to get started. All it takes is a group of people with common working hours, plus a guy or girl with a driver's license, who's reliable and can stick to a schedule that suits the majority. Once you get a driver, you need an insurance policy for liability and collision-damage protection. And, of course, you need a vehicle. WE PAID $8,000 for The Rocket. Our other bus was cheaper. Being an older girl and secondhand, she only cost $800 plus the investment of about $1200 to reupholster the seats and put in a new motor. When we get The Rocket paid for, we'll invest the monthly payments in a fund to replace her when she is old and feeble. For me, driving a bus is fun. And I get a big whiz out of my 27 back-seat drivers. Take a typical morning: Fran Magill climbs up the steps to board the bus, and I hear Ron Mansel say, "Gee, you sound peppy this morning, Fran. Clump. Clump. Clump." Then one of By 8:40 a.m. the Rocket has deposited all the passengers in downtown Detroit. the girls sits down and gets kidded while the girl behind her remedies something-the zipper in back of her dress. It wasn't zipped the last two inches. From one of the rolling bridge games, I hear everybody yell when a player makes a slam. You see why we call it "Fun Bus." We have other names on the special destination sign up front that helps to show that ours is a private coach. In addition to the usual "Private Coach" sign, we can display "Readi-Riders Special," "Readi-Riders Rocket Express," or "Readi-Riders Only!" In spite of these signs, strangers try to get on when we stop to pick up a member. Then I have to tell the would-be passenger that it's a private bus and I can't pick him up. Sometimes, though, if there's a vacancy in the organization, I tell the stranger, "You can come along as our guest and try us out for a day." Many a new Readi-Rider has been born that way, after a card-playing, songfesting, convenient, economical ride downtown.
