Certainly not 10-4. Our neighbours tell us they pick up full two-way con- versations on some of their electrical appliances; and they complain that. it's "downright annoying". This apparently goes 'on day after day, while _they are trying to watch favourite programs on their TV.

(Oh, by the way, the neigh- bour neverheard whether the baby was' a boy or girl). 73's "When I was little" As part of earning her writer's badge for Brownies, a young lady wrote the following story that reached my desk for testing. I thought it should be shared with you. "WHEN I WAS LITTLE". "When I was a little girl, ,my mother told me I sure was a busy body. I used to flush S.O.S. Pads down the toilet. Then I ,would flush the toilet to see if they would come back up, but they never did. "I used to love to get into mom's flour, sugar, coffee, and tea cannisters. When she was busy in the store, I would climb up onto the counter and mix them all together. I got a spanking from Mom as I ruined a lot of things, I used to love to bake and still do. I remember watching Mont make a cake, so I tried it, when she was busy. The only thing I did wrong was make it on the floor. I had eggs, liquid shortening, margarine and sugar and was mixing it up' when Mom caught me. "Boy, did I get it."
