In 490 B.C., legend has
it, a Greek soldier ran from
Marathon to Athens
about 25 miles to report
his country's victory over
Persia. This was the begin
ning of the marathon, the
traditional end of the
track and field portion of
the Olympic Games.

1 Marathon Trial, sponsored
by Kennecott Copper
Corp. through its subsid
iary, The Carborundum Co.,
will be May 24, when an
estimated 170 of the top
marathoners in the coun
try will compete. The
26.2 mile re-enactment of
the legendary race will
begin at Buffalo, N.Y.,
and end at Niagara Falls,
Ontario, Canada. It will
determine the three U.S.
representatives and the
alternate at the 1980
Summer Olympic Games
in Moscow.
The marathon was a
25-mile run from 1896
when the Games began,
until 1908 when the dis
tance was increased by one
mile. Why? The marathon
was held in England that
year, where a British
Olympic Committee de
cided to start the race at M,
Windsor Castle and finish ah.
it at the Royal Family's
box in a London stadium.

Not for singles only...
Get it right the first time
The number of single households is
ornwmo each war. as more people than
ever before choose to be "on their
own." This is the second in a series of
monthly columns to help the single per
son (or anyone) organize a successful
lifestyle. Linda Whyte, who serves as
home organization consultant at Rub
bermaid, welcomes questions and
suggestions from readers on the topic of
keeping a single household running
r..iiK. . rtupxtinnx will be answered
Write her Rubbermaid, Not
For Singles Only, 1147 Akron Road, Wooster, OH 44691.
The ideal time to organize a
household is, of course, when
you first move in.
If your plight, however, is
similar to that of a Michigan
bachelor who recently wrote us
that "the only way I can see to
organize this mess is to pick up
and move to a new apartment,"
don't despair.
And, if you've just come
home with a fourth jar of
oregano because the other three
are lost somewhere in your
cabinets, I've got plans for you.
The plans are simple. Since
the kitchen might aptly be called
America's "heartland," I'll
concentrate on that room in this
column. In one short word
attack! If there is any "pack rat" in
you at all, you might find
kitchen cabinets tend to ac
cumulate items you seldom if
ever use.
If cluttered drawers and
cabinets are a particular frustra
tion, start there. The next time
you're at the supermarket
(hopefully not buying more
oregano) bring home some
cardboard boxes.
Now begin to discard useless
items. (Pack rats, arm your
selves with an altitude of inten
sive ruthlessness!) Softies will
want to use at least one box for
items they think will someday
come in handy.
"Someday" usually never
comes, so when these boxes are
full, quickly cart them off to the
nearest church sale or charity
outlet before resolve weakens.
(I speak from experience!)
The key to using accessible
cabinet space wisely is to store
items close to where they are
first used, and by frequency of
use.
That means seasonal items go
into out-of-the-way storage
areas (difficult to reach
cabinets, top-of-hall closets, at
tics) while everyday items oc
cupy up-front space.
Unrefrigerated food items,
for instance, should be stored in
cabinets near the range or sink
where food is usually prepared.
Don't be bound by rules
though. Single living, espe
cially, allows room for all sorts
of creative options.
I know one early riser who
saves a trip to the kitchen by
keeping instant coffee and a
plug-in wand (for quick boiling
water) in the bathroom.
Most people find storing dish
es near the sink or dishwasher
most convenient. In my own
kitchen I've moved cups to a
turntable above the range.
Since I make coffee at the
range, it's handier to keep cups
there rather than near my dish
drainer. Whatever works best
for you is best!
There are tools you can lean
on to make better use of space
you have. Dinnerware confu
sion vanishes with a dinnerware
rack.
You can mute the racket of
clattering pots and pans and
bring them into easy reach by
organizing them in slideout
drawers mounted in lower
cabinets.
One lady told me recently she
decided not to nest her favorite
pan. so it's always free to use
without picking up others in the
set first.
Cleaning supplies and plastic
hags or foil are at arms-reach
when stored inside cabinet
doors with help from a clean-up
caddy or a wrap and bag or
ganizer. Another woman told me she
alphabetized her spices on
turntables; one quick spin and
she finds what she's looking for.
Now, that's organized!
These accessories are surpris
ingly inexpensive. And a little
effort to organizing now will
save hours of time and lots of
energy in the future (not to men
tion money spent for extra jars
of oregano!).

organized, Rubbermaid offers

in Your Kitchen," available by
