Kit' From My Window Moving day over Shirley Keller ; ■■ -v- -■■■■<.—.....w.w, . ..... .....,,.................................. Most of the ladles who read this polumn are acquainted with the problem of fitting a size lf> frame into a size 14 girdle. To say the very least, It |s tight going. Recently though, I was faced with a new kind of reduc ing dilemma which left me even ‘more breathless than the struggle I have to get into my stretch slacks. To put the whole thing very simply, I have just finished mov ing furnishings and famuly of five froma four bedroom, multi closeted home to a two-bed- room, cramped cupboarded house, Soon after my husband and I had decided to sell dur spacious home, we began an austerity program which looked like Mitch Sharps’ budget in reverse. We found we had too much of everything-including children. Initial step was to rid our selves of an overload of furni- ture collected at auction sales and second-hand stores through thirteen years of marriage^ Since all was of about the same vintage, there was the heart rending decision of which be loved pieces would go. Once that had been agreed by mutual consent, our next problem was to find someone who would haul the stuff away without too much cost to us. We found we had to part with the desk with only one drawer pull and no top; the bed which defied the law of gravity and sent, all occupants tumbling into the centre; the dresser with the mirror which gave no re flection; the chair with the pop- ped springs and the sagging seat; the drop-leaf table with the leaf that wouldn’t drop. While these items were of no earthly value to anyone, they were hard to let go. To me they were something like husbands- plenty of flaws but after years of faithful service you haven’t the heart to trade. After cutting our possessions back to what I considered to be an absolute rock bottom, on moving day I found I was still overstocked. What to do! Some of the excess was stored, some was given to the garbage man, rn'orfc .wasu<awarded xto^a^hap— less family who probably gave it to their garbage man. Monday morning after a Sat urday moving date the children went to school looking like re fugees from a rummage sale. Though I had carefully packed their clothes into packing cases and labelled each carton Clearly, the wrinkles gained in the move could not hang out in a closet stuffed to over flowing with clothes for three kids, a set of luggage, six boxes of ‘precious things’ collectedby two miserly pro-teenagers, a pile of magazines, several crazy hats, ten pairs of shoes including the worn out sneakers from last spring which just might come in handy if a small* footed shoeless friend should come to stay. A week later as we sat hud dled over the final unpacked pasteboard box, my husband confided he still had not located his long johns. With hopes high New members installed Two new members Mrs. Laura Stan and Mrs. Paul Nell- ands were installed as new members at the November meeting of Hensail Legion Ladies’* Auxiliary last Tuesday evening.

The raffle brought by Mrs. Harold Knight was won by Mrs. Robert Reaburn. we dug to the bottom of the case but with no success. The only alternative was to pur chase new snuggies. The only other article lost between our former home and present abode, was my kitchen scissors and somehow I*m al most certain there is a connec tion between the two disappear ances. Those thick, absorbent wiping cloths my son was using on moving day resembled father’s underwear, I recall. We’re settled now, thank you, Moving has accomplished one important thing for our house hold. It has brought us closer together in every sense of the words, PERSONALS Mrs. V. M.
