Ohio Farmers Discover New Source

CAMBRIDGE. Ohio (UPI) -There's
a wisecrack that goes:

southeastern Ohio have exactly
reversed that situation and
brought city slickers in to pay
for. milking cows, just for the
sake of milking cows.
About 60 farm families In the
region, one of the state's most
beautiful but also lowest in per
capita Income, this summer
brought tourists flocking in to
spend a week or two and discov
er the pleasures of bucolic life.
Augments Family Income
Such was the interest that, as
might be expected, the federal
government conducted a survey
and found that incomes were be
ing' augmented by as much as
$1,500 a year.
The government, as might be
expected, then inquired if federal
loans were needed to help thing:
along. It received a polite but
firm no thanks from most area
farmers.
The survey showed vacation i
farms in Hocking, Jefferson
Lawrence, Pike, Seneca, Brown
Athens, Belmont, Carrol, Guern
sey, Monroe and Noble counties.
On the average, $35 to $70 per
adult and $25 per child was
charged for a week's stay in
farmer's house, complete with
three meals a day and whatever
recreation his farm provided.

Carts Prove
Headache
For Stores
HOUSTON (UPI) Supermar
ket managers in Houston auto
matically cringe when they see a
housewife push a cart of groceries
out the front door. Some of the
carts will go home with the gro
ceries.
The theft of grocery carts has
become almost a fad in this city.
The carts, which cost from $25
to $50, often end up as barbecue
grills, laundry carts or baby bug
gies.
Many Found Abandoned
Suburban stores regularly lose
; many as 50 carts a week.
Most of them are returned by the
shopper or found abandoned by
store employes.
T. M. Maass, manager of an
A&P supermarket on (he west
side, sends a truck out doily to
eight nearby apartment complexes!
and rounds up most of the stray:
carts. Last year, the truck crew
found three carts in a swimming!
pool, another "in a moving van
and seven at a washateria.
Charles Rovello, manager of a
Wcingarten store, doesn't really
mind if a housewife takes a cart
home as long as she returns
it.
"We want to help people get
their groceries home," said Ro
vello, "and we are happy to let
them take the carls if they bring
Ihem back."
But, he added, fewer than half
the shoppers who "borrow" the
carts return them. Most are found
abandoned.
Kids Are Main Problem
Tlie real loss comes from carts
that are converted to barbecue
pits or e v e n portable chicken
coops.
"Kids are Ihe main problems,
said another store manager, Rich
ard Newton. "They, tear them up
for all kinds of purposes. One kid
put Ihe wheels on a soap box
racer.
Houston markets arc trying to
stop the wandering carts by of
fering a cheaper cart that the
shopper can buy and take home
legally. The managers prefer this
solution to another a magnetic
border around parking lots that
locks the wheels of carts being
pushed off the property.
Rovello sums up the problem
this way:
"We understand her problem
and are sympathetic," he said
"But we fear she doesn't realize
ours."

Home Remedies Can Cure Drawer
By MR. FIX
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Furniture drawers, though bas
ically simple, are subject to pes
ky disorders.
The most common complaint:
sticking. Drawer pulls often be
come loose and, if not taken care
of quickly, will cause marring of
the drawer's surface finish.
With age, tlie joints of a drawer
may loosen.
Those Slicking Drawers
The problem of a sticking draw
er is most likely to occur in warm
weather. Generally, drawers are
made of soft wood and left unfin
ished. Moist air will cause the
wood to swell. Drawers that work
well all winter may do so only
because the air is relatively dry.
Slight sticking can be cured at
times with nothing more than
the rubbing of paraffin or a lubri
cating stick over the sliding parts.
USE WAX OR LUBRICATING
STICK TO SMOOTH ACTION
OF PESKY DRAWERS.

Girl Sets Sights On Being Doctor
By Time She Hits 22nd Birthday
UPPER BLACK EDDY. Pa.
(UPI) Fourteen-year - old Ta-
mara Moat has passed up most
of the summer - time activities
dear to the heart of the average
American teen-ager on vacation.
Instead of swimming, roller
skating, going to the movies or
picnics, Tammy is spending all
her free time reading.
And it's not light reading, eith
er. Mostly the classics. In addi
tion, she's brushing up on al
gebra.
This is pretly heavy stuff for a
14-year-old, but Tammy has an
object in life: She wants to be a
doctor by the time she's 22 years
old. And if everything goes ac
cording to plan, she'll make it.
On Sept. 15 Tammy enters
Shimer College at Mount Carroll.
III., as possibly the youngest
coed in the nation.
The college announcement last
July said mat Tammy had been
accepted under a program by
which students with less than
four years of high school can en
ter the college if they demon
strate through entrance examina
tions that they are capable of col
lege level Work.
This Tammy did, with a veng
eance. She scored in the top 5 per
cent In the test.
Shimer College Vice President
Donald G. Reuter said that the
institution is the only U.S. college
with an early entrance program.
If you saw Tammy on the
street you'd guess that she was
an average American high school
student. And she is, except that
studying is hot only easy for her,
it's fun.
DANCE AWARDS
PARIS (UPI) The "Oscar,"
"Emmy," and "Tony" will have
a new companion in the form of
the "Etoile d'Or" when eight of
these "golden stars" will be giv-
at an international festival
here devoted solely to the dance.
From Nov. 4-30. at the Theatre
des Champs-Elysees, the art of
the dance will emulate its sister
arts of drama, music, films, ra
dio and television.
If this doesn't do it, sand the!
sliding parts until the drawer
opens and closes smoothly. If
there is severe rubbing and sand
ing won't correct it, you may have
to plane these parts. .
Do not remove too much wood.
Warm, dry air may cause the
wood to shrink later on, and the
drawer may then develop a wob
ble. Don't force a drawer that is
stuck. And don't fool with make
shift repairs. Get at the cause.
Attack the problem by removing
the back covering of the piece of
furniture.
The backs of most bureaus are
held on with screws or small
nails.
You may be able to maneu
ver the drawer a little better from
in back.
If it remains jammed, and if
you can't remove contents
through a partial opening, better
caH on a carpenter to free the
drawer, Applying heat to dry the
drawer is a pretty risky busi
ness. Don't try it. (If you're the
patient type leave the drawer
alone till it dries out, and then
remove k for repairs.)
You can help minimize future
swelling of wood by giving the sur
face of the drawer a coat of shel
lac. Allow drawer to dry thorough
ly before replacing it. This will
prevent penetration of moisture.
