about beans." It was a frying
time, as they recall:
"A neighbor offered us a
corn planter and we bought
another one, so we could both
put in the bean crop," Mr. Wick
lund remembers.
"We went down the rows to
gether, planting beans and look
ing fqr all the world like a cou
ple of jackrabbits. We'd go a
few jumps and then dissolve in
laughter," says Mrs. Wicklund.
"Weeding was about the same,
Eric recalls. "By the time we
had one row done, the last one
was Brown -up with weeds again.
I never had a blister in the
Marine Corps, but my hands and
feet were covered with them
that first summer working with
the beans."

"Reluctantly, but we do it,"
Gary teased.
Wages the children receive
(paid on same scale as regular
bean-pickers who help Wick

into savings accounts for col

plant additional acreage as he
wishes to help pay for his edu

Labor Day weekend when the
bean crop's harvested, they take

Larry makes tho biggest

"Earle, you're a tormentor,"
his Dad said.
"What, a sweet guy like me?"
Earle countered.
"That's all right, once I about
caught a flounder on a herring
hook with meat on it," Larry
put his bid in again for "best

Last time out Gary broke his
pole trying to bring in a fish.

DEAR MISS LAVONNE: I am a housewife with 2
small children and a busy active husband. I enjoy doing
so many things such as gardening, ceramics, sewing, cook
ing and mainly taking care of my family. My hands are
constantly busy and take terrible abuse . . . especially
when I paint around the house. My problem is I have
terrible looking hands. They have frequent stains, raised
veins, rough spots and my nails never keep a coat of polish
so I've stopped wearing it. How can I continue my busy
life yet try and have decent looking hands and nails and
I don't mean like a movie stars' but just decent. Thank
you. Mrs. A. B. D.
' DEAR MRS. A.B.D.: You are constantly pre
senting your hands to the world in everything
you do as you carry packages, write a letter,
fluff your hair or serving food so it is wise for
you to start talcing care of them. Some time each
day, give them a gentle treatment massaging
them gently in a rotary movement from tips on
up as high as you want. Stretch your' fingers
then shake them vigorously to stimulate circula
tion. This takes but a moment yet youll love the
rejuvenated tingling. Detergents rob your hands
of natural oils so have a bottle of rich hand lotion
handy by every basin in the house to remind you
to use it Apply before and after submerging them
in water. Have a bottle of silicone lotion handy to
apply before putting on gloves for gardening,
painting or handling foods that will stain. The
only way youll beautify your hands is to give
them a little care and prevent the wear. Give
yourself a weekly manicure and if you don't like
wearing colored polish then at least apply extra -coats
of clear base polish to protect them. Don't
forget to massage your hand lotion gently into the
cuticle. As you love your garden remember your
hands can look like flowers or weeds.
DEAR MISS LAVONNE:
nails, all covered with white spots. Can you tell what !
causes this and what to do about it. J. V.
DEAR J.V.: White spots on the ncdls come
from a bump or pressure. I suggest you watch j
your hand movements and try preventing these
bumps you are giving them, they are a bruise.
Try leading with your wrists and break the bump.
Apply extra coats of base polish on the nails to
help strengthen them then extra coats of polish
to cover up the white spots. They will, gradually
disappear as the nail grows out.
DEAR GLOREA LAVONNE: Is It considered fashion
able to wear fake fur? I can't afford real fur yet love the
new fake furs being shown in the stores. Furs have been
copied for many years and always have looked cheap to
me. Thank you. S. M.
DEAR S.M.: They have so many beautiful
fake furs now and they are being used in so
many ways, and very fashionably. I do suggest
however, that you buy a good quality fake fur ,
as this will take away
