You told me you polished all your furniture today and you’re not griping about re polishing the tatle.” “Don’t need to,’’ I answered. "If you can stand the shock, times have changed. I’ll just wipe it up with a damp cloth." Then I launched into the story of my big discovery. I had been complaining in my local gro cery store about the thousand and one assorted polishes end waxes needed to keep a house shining and about the gen eral ineffectiveness of the whole batch. The clerk introduced me to a new polish that, amazingly enough, can be applied to furniture a ND porcelain AND metal AND enamel surfaces. Dri-Glo is the name of the new wonder-worker which protects while it polishes almost as easily as dusting, leav ing a glass-like, water-repellent coating which lasts with a hand rubbed look for months. Hot liquids as well as sticky finger prints can easily be removed with a damp cloth without removing the furniture’s luster. The secret lies in the fact that the revolution ary polish contains silicone, a compound developed during the last war and first used to protect precision instruments, to insulate delicate electrical equipment, and to waterproof ignition systems. Now I can proceed happily through every room in the house with only one bottle of polish firmly in hand, cleaning and protecting everything in sight from mahogany table to Venetian blinds, to stove and refrigerator and what have you. The only trouble is, it’s a little more difficult now to wheedle a new hat from Jeff; maybe I’ll have to let him break a dish! GATES By MRS.

BEHIND Till LINE Halt! Stop behind that line! What line? The line street intersection that marks off the,PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALK, says the AAA driver training book, "Sportsmanlike Driving." Drive as though that street line were a barbed wire fence, if the yellow light flashes or the red light is on. The line is there to mark off a clear, safe path for use of the man on foot — when his turn comes to cross the street. He deserves to take his turn on an unobstructed path. A driver who fails to stop well behind the line is unfair. He lets his car get out of place. His poor driving sticks out of proper traffic patterns like a bad sore thumb. He deserves all ther glaring he gets. He is out-of- turn. Stop at intersections — when the yellow light flashes — as though the waiting pedestrians were your own family out there on foot. Give them a safe chance to cross. Stop behind the line/ TOMORROW BEGINS TODAY How often we say: Tomorrow Delay is sometimes dangerous.
