Even with one of the needle threaders, threading a needle tries my patience to the limit. ,Once 1 could seethat hole in, a needle and didn't need a threader. Once° i could see that little loop on the end of a needle threader. 1,10 - anymore! o•anymorel'• Now I have .ta' use a Magnifying glass to find the little loop to getthe thread through. Then 1 have to use the magnifying glass to find thehole in the needle to get the threaderthroughl By now,' you may be wondering why 1 don't get ple with poor sight, But lE think the best use 1 have found for the magni- fying glass was as an assistant in administering first aide Phyllis recently jammed a sliver up under her nail. It imbedded itself in the nail. bed. We knew wehad to • glasses. Well, I have glass- es, but they are for reading or working at the *commit- cr. They don't work for anything else.
