As, the vision of Paul and Steve faded, the, noise became louder, and I realized it was coming from 'my apartment. . , I gave my alarm deck an angry shove, which is my daily ritual, but the buzzing continued. By then, I was awake enough to read the time - 20 after 3. That Was a little early for the alarm. Then I listened more closely; the racket sounded like a small buzz saw and seemed to be coming from one of the other rootns. Slipping out of bed, I followed the mysterious, relentless buzz. I crept. through the shadowy living room and into the dark kitchen, stealing quietly until I ran into the table. I paused, for .a 'moment to become oriented; the sound was coming from the direction of my desk under the window, What could it be? • The answer came suddenly. I switched on the light, and there it was - my battery-operated pencil. sharpener4busily sharpening air. You see, the sharpener worked well and kept fine points on all my pencils, until the batteries wore down a couple of months ago. I 'replaced the old batteries with, new ones, and then I couldn't stop the thing.. It. buzzed continually whether or not a pencil was fed into it. The problem was unique; these days we usually contend with gadgets that won't work instead of ones that won't quit. Nevertheless it was irritating. and stay in Brazil. She visited at the home of Bette Baia in the city of Belo Harizorte, who had been at Sandra's home here last December till March of this year. Sandra left Canada May 31 and returned September 4th.

They had mostly small cars, but vetrixpensive ones. Sandra had, a display of articles she brought back, some inexpensive but beautiful, also pictures she had taken. The language spoken is Portuguese and Brazil has a very strong government. Miss Rena Fennell thanked Sandra and presented her with a small gift, also gifts to Lynda and Jr, A nn'. The offering was received t First, I removed, the batteries, thinking I bad placed them upside-down, but when I inserted "then) again, the sharpener took off. Then I adjusted the lid and the cutting device, to no avail,• Next I adopted the. 'theory that The batteries would eventually wear themselves down. An 'endurance test developed between the sharpener and my nerves. The sharpener won. With some • experimentation, I discovered the buzz stopped when the box was laid on its side. However, the loose-fitting lid opened, spilling the shavings on the floor and allowing the • whittler to slip. Replacing the sharpener was extremely difficult. The frame had to be turned upright, and therefore the post, on which the sharpener sat, rotated. I finally Won the battle, though, -and when the sharpener was intact, I solved another problem. I leaned the box against the edge of the desk at a 60°angle. The lid dIdn't budge; the whittler didn't slip, and the buzzer didn't sound. If I wanted to sharpen a pencil, I merely sat the gadget upright; otherwise it remained blissfully quiet. The other night I must have inadvertently shifted the box. Why it remained silent nntil 3:20 A.M. is a mystery. Feeling somewhat disgruntled; I turned the sharpener on its side and crawled back into bed. But no matter how hard Ltried, I couldn't return to the scene of the rescue. Now I'll never know whether Paul Newman and Steve McQueen rescued me from the fire!
