Spring Cleaning
It’s amazing the wondrous things
that are unearthed during that annual
excursion into the attic and the
clothes plosets, called "Spring Clean
ing," You'll find so many things that
disappeared months ago, and have
been written off as lost, strayed or
stolen. You’ll find those old relics that
are reviewed and reclassified every
year for a decade, and then reluctant
ly filed in the garbage can, for want
of more space for the other relies that
have come into the household through
the efforts of a family of collectors.
Evpry attic has its collectors' items,
and every home has its relics. Every
child’s home has its broken toys and
its worn out wagons, but none can
ever be disposed of, for they have a
hundred pleasant memories of the
past. Your cellar is likely tp hold the
same souvenirs as your neighbours,
and your garage will, more than likely
hold the same items that you have
kept for a rainy day.
Thus, while we sometimes hate to
see it comp along, perhaps it is neces
sary that spring cleaning occur every
year. If it were not so there would be
no room in the houses for the people.
Have you ever sat down to look
through the winter’s accumulation of
newspapers and magazines with the
idea that you would bundle them up
for the Boy Scouts' paper drive, but
you have ended up surrounded by
magazines. that “Just couldn’t be
thrown out", for they contained some
thing that you wanted to read. It
happens in every home, I suppose, and
the magazine stock never does seem
