It's not that you get much trouble from the deceased. He might have been the type who'd have raised supreme and merry hades if you 'misspelled his sna among in the paper, the quick. But once he's planned, he seems to have lost interest in such trivialities. It's the relatives. They come in several easily classified groups. There's the kind who write the obituary themselves and want it printed exactly as submitted, in- cluding all grammatical mistakes, errors in spelling and a half col- umn of names of those wh sent flowers. * 5 * In direct contrast are the rela- tives who don't know how old the deceased was, what his middle name was, how long he spent out West that time, or just when the funeral will be. They are also the type who tell you the names of five of the pallbearers but can never remember who the other one is. the first nickel he ever made. * On tap of all this, obituaries, as currently written are Mier ; a 1 dull.

He'd be burn- ed up, colloquially speaking. Yet that is the content of the average obit. Then there are the ones who think the obituary should be on the front page, containing the entire text of the preacher's burial ser- vice, and the somewhat startling information that the deceased was a popular citizen, beloved by all in the community. This is hard to swallow, when you, and they, know perfectly well that he was a crusty old curmudgeon, whose only Maim to fame is that he still had _FIRST AID RENDERER TO ALL SICK TV'S.

Because after that, if you're doing any- thing worth reading about, you shouldn't be. Accompanying these' lively obit- uaries would be photographs, care- fully selected from the years, show- ing the deceased as a ,beautiful child, supple youth and handsome young man, not as he is at 60 or 70, when that old fraud, Mother Nature, has given him too many swipes in the face 'with the back of her hand. * :k * :5 I feel .that if this suggestion is followed, the newspaper editor"' of the world would- chip in and erect a statue of me.

Multiple sockets are a sign of inadequate wiring ... a sign that you are not getting peak performance from your electrical appliances ... and a sure sign that you are playing with fire. To obtain maximum efficiency from appliances, your wiring must be capable of carrying the load required. Too many plugs in one outlet overload the circuit. If you' overload beyond the capacity of your wiring, the fuse blows. When this happens, it is a warning. When you substitute a fuse larger than should be used, you are 'playing with fire. A larger fuse will permit more electricity to flow to the circuit, but the wiring may overheat and create a fire hazard and you also reduce the efficiency of your many electrical aids to better living. - O PLAY SAFE . • . There is only one sure remedy. H ire your wiring checked by a competent person. Follow h' recommendations. Don't take chances by overfusing!
