her clothing-. Just as stores in January when they list
every bit of stock, she should likewise list the wearing
apparel she owns. SlieTI find it easier if she divides it
into various groups.
(1) There are the garments that she can use just as
they are. (2) There are others that must be repaired

For all occasions.
Tailored to your measure.

Schmidt, a 38-year-old former
POW, promised the man that he
would bring his son to the U. S.
for education in return for the
aid that meant the difference
between survival and starvation.
The son, 16-year-old Haruo
Kasai, is to be enrolled in the
Greybull High School and sent
to an American college to study
science if plans work out.
The friendship started when
Kasai slipped the American a

orange peelings from a refuse
pile.
