Toey Care ab.ut CARE. Like other Americans, I've often wondered whether
people in other countries really appreciate the overseas clothing drives we
put on. I found the answer last Summer while studying in Italy on a
Fulbright scholarship.
One day I passed a bare
foot little girl with tangled
hair and tattered, ill-fitting
clothing. She glanced up
from her play, then stared
almost unbelievingly at my
skirt. It was an ordinary,
brightly colored plaid that
I'd purchased in Chicago for
$5.98, but she reached out
her hand and stroked it as if
it were a rare fabric.
I couldn't understand the
Italian words she bubbled
forth, but I'm sure my cheap
cotton skirt was probably
the most beautiful piece of
clothing she had ever seen.

SoToambtecl Ofder. I stopped at a roadside stand near a chicken farm re
cently and asked for two dozen big brown eggs. While the farmer was
boxing my order, a boy ran up and said, "Dad, Mrs. Johnson wants a
dozen cracked eggs, but we don't have any left."
"Well, crack her a dozen," the farmer said blandly.
The boy carefully touched some eggs together, or against the stand,
until he had loaded a box with 12 slightly damaged ones. Then he went
back the way he came. Seeing my puzzled look, the farmer explained,
"Clacked eggs sell for half price. Mrs. Johnson is a widow living on a
small pension. We'd gladly give her the eggs, but she's too proud to take
them as a gift." Olive H. Cross, Tallahassee, Fla..
Safety First! At a movie recently, during a quiet love scene, we became
aware of some peculiar cracking noises, then suddenly a large piece of
plaster fell into the aisle near us. Many in the theater weren't aware of
what caused the noise, and a few started running for the exits.
In this tension-filled moment, a man in military uniform in the row
ahead of us stood up and, in a loud, reassuring voice, shouted, "Relax,
everybody! Stay where you are. It's only a piece of plaster that fell.
No one's been hurt."
When the panic subsided, he sat down and I heard him whisper to the
woman next to him, "Come on, let's get out of here. This trap's falling
apart." Marguerite McConnell, Mansfield, O.
She Built a Better Mousetrap. A neighbor of
mine is waiting for the world to beat a path
to her door. Troubled with mice recently, she
dispatched most of them by the usual meth
ods, but one holdout scorned the bait in
ordinary traps and continually outwitted her.
Finally she put a sleeping tablet in a small
bowl of sugared water and set it under the
stove. Next morning she found the mouse
there, sleeping peacefully. He's one mouse
that doesn't bother her; any more. Mrs. M.
