GETTING AROUND
Continued from page 2 The children of the 2,400-family parish of St. Thomas the Apostle, in Old Bridge, New Jersey, got together about two years ago and began saving trading stamps. In 16 months they had collected 5,000,000 stamps, enough to buy a 66-passenger bus, valued at $8,000, which they proudly presented to their church. • • Faced as we are with the acute shortage of help in our hospitals, it is good to hear about the Self-Service Unit established at the Manchester Memorial Hospital in Manchester, Connecticut. Patients in the unit are well along in convalescence or hospitalized merely for diagnostic tests or observation. Being fit for self-service, they take much of the load off the staff by walking to meals in the cafeteria, straightening their own rooms, and drawing their own baths. They are charged considerably less for this kind of do-it-yourself hospitalization, and everyone benefits. • • Alas, says Ruth Stocks, of Decatur, Georgia, antidisestablishmentarianism, one of her favorite words and formerly the longest word in the English language, has to relinquish the title. She wants us all to hear about the new champion, a 45-letter blockbuster: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis, a miner's lung ailment. • • About seven years ago, reports Leroy D. Lind, of Mount Clemens, Michigan, his sister Bonnie was working in the garden and dropped a valuable ring. The whole family searched for days, but the ring never turned up. Well, says Mr. Lind, just recently Mother Nature gave it back. Bonnie was weeding in the garden that had been dug up and replanted so many times since she had lost her ring in it, and there, glistening on a beanstalk, was the jewel. The plant had grown through the ring and had pushed it up above the ground. • • Dorothy Janke of Colby, Kansas, says, "Tally-hoe, gardeners!" Here is some common-sense safety advice for campers and hikers, now that the woods are calling: Always let someone know where you're going and how long you expect to be gone, says Arthur Israelson, of the Parkrose, Oregon, Fire District No. 2, and a member of the Oregon Mountain Rescue and Safety Council. If you suddenly decide to leave your car and go for a hike, put a note on your windshield stating your proposed destination. Even experienced hikers sometimes lose their bearings and need help, so never take a trip into the woods without the following four items in your pocket: waterproof matches, the stub of a candle to start fires, a good sharp knife, and a loud whistle. Three of anything—three whistles, three markers—is a distress signal in the out-of-doors. • • A Weston, Connecticut, commuter has a four-year-old daughter who insisted on having her favorite story, "Little Red Riding Hood," read to her each night. After a few nights of this, her father got a tape of the story and taught Laurie how to turn the recorder on and off, and settled back for a little rest. All went well for three days, but on the fourth evening she walked up to him and held out the book. "Now, now, Laurie," he said, "you know how to work the tape recorder." "Yes," she said, "but I can't sit on its lap." "Ah, the inevitable brief case with the inevitable husband." SUBURBIA TODAY
